I've had this cooktop for 11 months now and use it almost daily. I bought it because my small apartment was crowded with the standard stove and fridge. I have had no real problems with this. Rice and grains needs a little extra water to not burn before fully cooked. Once anything reaches boiling point, i turn the dial down past the low setting to the "WARM" setting and foods still simmer with a small boil. On the "WARM" setting, temperatures are sure to be still higher than the lowest flame, possibly due to there being a greater amount of surface generating heat than with a small ring of fire. My only complaint is the small burner never shuts off, even in the off position. It seems to be stuck at "WARM" which i've learned to use when first plugging it in for toasting bread. After around 8 minutes it'll darken bread to black within 8 seconds, which is excellent when I need spontaneous toast. On the small surface I can actually cook chicken on the "OFF" or "WARM" setting, even though the manual/instructions say it isn't possible

Good for the price, a side stove to heat food and keep your tea warm.

Bought this for when I moved out into a studio that didn’t have a stove. It’s lightweight and it’s nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I don’t feel the dials for the heating are that accurate but it’s easy to figure out

Based on its value this is a good product, so far working fine

I bought this Elite Gourmet 2 burner unit when I didn't have a stove. I used it exclusively for all my meals. I use it now for camping trips and for big parties when I need to keep something warm/hot. It works great and I would definitely buy again if I needed another one.
