Portable Induction Cooktop Enhanced Version, One-Click Max Power 1800W Large Heating Coil Burner, Precise Temperature Control, NSF Certified Commercial Grade Low Noise Hot Plate

Well built, heated evenly. This was an upgrade from my old cooktop, and it’s been a great move. The difference showed right away. Heat control is super easy and accurate. Set it once and it stays right there. No jumping around, maintaining the temperature very well. I did notice the on-and-off cycling at first and thought it was unusual, but after checking with customer service, they explained it’s intentional in TEMP mode to prevent overheating and burning. After using it more, it actually makes sense and helps keep cooking more controlled. Very handy, intuitive response, and it runs quietly without being a distraction. The stainless steel build feels solid, performs exactly as advertised and definitely worth the extra cost.

I’m a returning ChangBERT customer, and this cooktop is exactly why I came back. I bought one of their older induction models a few years ago, used it for several years, and then moved it into my RV, where it’s still working perfectly. Because that first unit held up so well, I decided to get this newer model as an extra burner. I’ve been using this one for almost a year now, and it’s been just as impressive. It heats up quickly, keeps the temperature steady, and cooks everything evenly. It sears steaks beautifully every time—crispy, flavorful crust on the outside and tender in the middle. I use a cast iron pan with it, and whether I’m making steak, chicken, or fried rice, the results are consistently great. Plus, it runs quietly, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-built cooktop that feels worth every penny. I’ve already recommended it to friends and may even buy another as a gift. Highly recommend!

These were exactly as advertised and as I hoped they would be. Yes, the temperature read out is not accurate to the temperature of the liquid in the pot, but the instructions tell you why that is. I used a simple thermometer to measure the boil point and it was consistently between 210 and 220 degrees on the dial, with a unit temperature read out of 260 degrees. I wish the temperature could be adjusted in 5 degree increments but the unit works, is well built, and boils quickly. I like that the cooking surface is large too. I used these with a 5 gallon stock pots to evaporate maple sap and the unit kept temperature all day long without effort, and the power cord never became hot. They are surprisingly light weight which makes them easy to move.

we're redoing our kitchen right now and can't use the gas stove for about a month, so I needed a compact induction cooktop to handle daily meals, especially with kids at home, and this one's been a great solution. I've been using it almost every day to cook for the family. first thing I noticed: it heats up fast. The heat mode is clearly made for quick cooking. when I need to boil water, I just hit the boil button, it jumps to 1800W and gets going in just a few minutes. Super handy on busy weeknights when I don't have time to wait. Temp mode heats a bit slower than heat mode, but I think that's on purpose- to keep things from burning. It's really helpful for stuff that needs steady, lower heat, like simmering stew or melting chocolate. I've made a bunch of different meals with it, and switching between Heat and Temp to keep it gently simmering. Same when I steam veggies, heat to boil then Temp to keep the steam just right without overdoing it. The fan's nice and quiet too, so it doesn't drive me crazy while I'm cooking. All in all, it's easy to use, easy to clean, feels sturdy, and performs well. Definitely worth it so far.

I've had many induction cooktops, including the 4 burner and 5 burner induction cooktops in my kitchens, so I humbly consider myself pretty experienced with this excellent technology. I needed a third cooker to take on a cabin vacation, and my main complaint about my other 120V, 1800 watt unit is the poor red LED display, which in a sunny area is difficult to read. So my first criteria was a good display. This unit has a very clear bright display in any lighting conditions, and the dual display is nice to see the settings w/o toggling through the display parameters. Second, I wanted more tactile buttons. My personal opinion is I don't like the smooth panel controls, where I'm not sure if I touched the spot long enough, of if I had oil on my fingertips, did it register I touched it, which has happened in the past. These touch buttons are a dream come true. They stand proud of the surface so you can tell you're on them without looking at them. They have a "clickey" sound when properly pressed. This should be the preferred style, and my other commercial portable cookers all have this tactile feature. One big benefit of induction cookers is for messy/splattery jobs, I lay a sheet of parchment paper, or aluminum foil on the cooktop, then put the pan on it. I fold the sides of the foil/parchment down, so I have an idea where the center of the burner coil is. The tactile buttons lets me reach under the foil/paper and adjust if necessary, without having to peek to see if I touched the button, as is the case with smooth surface control models. The large 8" diameter coil evenly distributes the heat over a larger area than a 6" coil. Yeah, you can cook in a much larger pan than 8" diameter but as is for any 1800 watt, 120V cooker, an 8" coil is about as much as the wall current will allow. You can get a commercial unit, like my 5000 Watt, 220V, 30 Amp cooker with a 12" double coil burner but that'll set you back $500-1000 easily, and now you're stuck with running on only 220V. With the 8" coil cooker, I can "cheat" using a 12" skillet on the burner, by moving the pan around to evenly brown, say a steak but for crepes, using a tri-clad pan, I've found it's not necessary. The temp range goes to around 475F, and will overtemperature shut off, if, say the water is boiled out of a pan accidentally. Some other units will go down to 100 Watts, if needed, whereas this one's minimum is 200 Watts. I've never been stuck with too high wattage on the minimum setting, and if I need to get that low, I'll use a double boiler method with water in an induction compatible large skillet with the pan with the food nests in it, with a copper coil spacer on the bottom to keep water around the entire pan. By the way, iron-bearing plates can be used on induction cooktops, where needed, then aluminum/copper cookware can be used, albeit slower and less efficiency. The temp display can be set to either F or C. Just hold the "Temperature" button down for 3+ seconds BEFORE pushing the "Power" button, and it'll toggle to the other reading you had originally. Doing the same steps again will toggle the display from F to C, or vise versa. Heating uniformity: I heated a very large (12.5" dia) skillet with water to see how uniform the burner is, and it's quite good. Initially I could see slightly more boiling on one side of the pan, so to see if it was the pan, I rotated the pan 180 degrees....and yeah, it was the pan, not the cooker. I like that the cooktop surface stands proud of the base/frame of the cooker. There is no bumping the frame, as my 5kw cooker does, and you can put a large diameter pan on it without any problem. This is one of the most intuitive multi-process cookers I've used. Most people with a little or no experience can operate this without even using the pretty good manual.....even a cave man :) I've loaded an externally insulated 27 qt soup pot on it, weighing ~60 lbs with ingredients, and for me, had no problems with the cooker breaking or the frame supports flexing. The cord is high quality, and about 5' long. Noise: An induction cooker used a high frequency oscillating magnetic field that creates Eddy currents that heats up the metal (mainly iron) in the cookware. Although not disclosed for coil frequency, most kitchen units operate in the 20,000 to 50,000 Hertz range, well above human hearing range. But there are other factors, such as harmonics and clad metal interfaces that can cause the whining noise, not the cooker. I can't hear any noise from this cooker, other than the under-body mounted large fan. For me, the fan is quiet, and normal conversation is easily achievable, and not a distraction at all. If you want to make it as quiet as possible, one idea is to buy an acoustic tile, cut it to the footprint of the cooker, then place it under the cooker. But for me it is a quiet cooker, both the fan, and during cooking. One note, if you buy some other brand, and it's noisy, it could be that they're using a lower frequency drive, not a high frequency one. For most cooking applications, higher frequency will penetrate the pan less, creating a "skin effect" coupling, providing more uniform heating. If you're using thinner single ply steel cookware, higher frequency should benefit you. What a great cooker, especially for the price! My only tiny nitpick is I wish they had more than one circle defining the heating coil is. My commercial cooker has three pan placement circles, and the smallest one defines the minimum pan size that's able to be used with the cooker. Other than that, it's a great cooker for operating on 120V.

Make sure you have compatible pans. It can boil water in less than 5 minutes. there's no worries about a hot burner or open flame. Does basically everything I want it to. It's a little wide but very short so it doesn't get in the way. The fan can get a little loud. For the price You can't beat it

Very happy with my purchase, and it looks very sleek in my kitchen. I put it right on top of my glass top stove, and I leave it out all the time. I absolutely love the rectangle shape of this, way better than the round ones that I have had in the past! I also love the fact that it is not too tall. It really helps to not have a unit that looks clunky like the round ones do. I have been used to induction cooking in the past and so I’m very familiar with how to cook with it. I knew that the temperature adjustment was in 20° increments when I bought it, but I have found with some items it’s difficult to keep it exactly where I want to have something simmer slowly. But that is not the fault of the unit. I just wish that it had 5° or 10° increments. But it functions really well, and it is very quiet. Super happy about that! Easy to use the button controls, and the pan heats up immediately so for those that are not used to induction that may be a learning curve for them. Overall, very happy with my purchase other than the fact of the 20° increment heat control.

I bought my first changbert induction cooktop about five years ago, and it’s been rock solid ever since. It’s handled daily cooking without a single issue, so when I needed an additional burner for a second prep area, choosing the same brand was an easy call. This newer unit feels just as well built. The stainless-steel housing holds up great to heat and it looks clean and professional. The full 1800W output feels genuinely powerful for everyday cooking, I can bring a pot of oil up to frying temperature without waiting forever, and it recovers well between batches for things like fried chicken or tempura. It doesn’t struggle to maintain heat once it’s dialed in, which makes a big difference when frying at home. Even with heavier pots, it never feels underpowered. The temperature and watt are very precise, once I set it, it stays there, whether I’m simmering a sauce or holding a steady heat for longer cooks. The stainless-steel body wipes down in seconds, and even after years of use it still looks almost new with a quick wipe, really easy to clean. When I’m not using it, I can just slide it into a cabinet without any hassle, because of this cooktop, I’ve actually grown to prefer stainless-steel appliances in general, great value of money.

Cooking has been a lot more enjoyable since I picked up this induction cooktop. The controls are straightforward, clear buttons with a good click, no complicated menus or touch panels that miss your tap. The display is bright and easy to read, even from across the counter, which makes cooking feel effortless. This cooktop works remarkably well. In HEAT mode, it heats fast, I can boil a full pot of water for soup in just in seconds or preheat a skillet for stir-frying almost instantly. The response time is immediate, you turn it up, and it gets hot right away. Also, the heating area is wide and truly uses its full 8-inch coil, as advertised, giving me even heat across my big pans. I also like that it gets up to temperature stays precise, I’ve used it to sear salmon, cook eggs, and simmer sauces, and every time, the heat stays perfectly consistent, all while running surprisingly quiet, just a soft fan sound in the background, nothing distracting. It’s been a great little burner to cook on every day, and absolutely worth what I paid for it. Scott from Toronto,Ontario

So far so good. Had it for a week and no complaints. It's whisper quiet and easy to use. Water books in an instant and it has been really handy.

I've been putting this induction cooktop thru its paces over the past few weeks. And it's almost perfect. It has a much broader coil than my 3 other induction cooktops, meaning that I can cook beautifully formed 10" pancakes on a 12" pan with no errors (my other 3 cooktops respond to a too-large pan with an "overheating" error). The heating is dynamic: Watching the bottom of a 10" pot shows a tight central heat in the first 30 seconds of heating (3" broad) to an at least 7" heat ring within 2 minutes. Making a white sauce in this same 10" pot, I have boiling right to the edges of the pan (at about 8 minutes). So it's easily the best broad, even heat. Plus it's VERY quiet. I can talk or listen to music uninterrupted by fan noise. Not like my other cooktops. Finally, the controls are excellent and intuitive. There is one small problem with this stove: its lowest heat is 200W, which is too much heat for some of my cooking routines (especially those that require simmering of a covered pot). For example, in pressure-cooking some dried chick peas today for 45 minutes, i had to turn the stove off for 10 minutes in the middle of this time, to allow the pressure to lower. For this stove to be perfect, it needs a 100W setting, too. But overall, this is easily the best countertop induction cooktop I've ever owned, or used. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Note added after even more use: the need for a lower temperature setting is easily resolved by switching from reporting W to reporting degrees. Once this has happened, I can turn the temperature way, way down (to 60C). A good simmer (for me) is 110C or 120C. So my one misgiving was already overcome. You just need to switch to temperature to get really low temperatures. The unit's perfect!!!!

I need a cooktop for a family party, and I don't want to deal with smoke or grease buildup from a temporary gas setup, especially since kids will be around the table. I tried using my metal pan, but it barely heated. I reached out to customer service to ask about it, and they replied almost immediately, explaining that induction requires magnetic metal cookware. I switched to a cast-iron skillet, and it works perfectly - fast heating, even temperature, and the food cooks well. Love the two cooking modes, HEAT mode gets heating fast, great boiling, while TEMP mode keeps a steady simmer, sauces without boiling over. Switching between them only takes a tap, simple to use. It can fit my 7-quart stewing pot and 12-inch stir pan. It is impressively fast and totally worth the price.

Good looking and sturdy. We use it every day not only to save energy but for fast and easy cooking.
