Avantco IC1800 Countertop Induction Range / Cooker - 120V, 1800W

The description for this appliance states that it 'is compatible with induction-ready pans that have a bottom diameter between 4 3/4" and 10 1/4".' In my experience, this is a very misleading statement. The device is not capable of heating a 10 1/4" pan from edge to edge. In my experience, it only heats a circle of approximately 7.5 - 8" in diameter (my best guess). Cooking pancakes this morning on a 9 1/2" cast iron pan, I was not able to use the entire pan, only the middle of it. Furthermore, heating only the center of the pan caused it to deform and bow out in the middle. After cooling down, the pan went back to its original flat shape. Nevertheless, that is not something I am comfortable subjecting my pans to regularly. On the plus side, the appliance was able to boil around 12 cups of jam in Read More

Pros: * Simple interface, physical power adjustment knob Cons: * Unit is advertised as being 1800W, it only draws about 1550W. My existing induction burner correctly pulls 1800W from the same outlet using the same pans at max power. * Unit produces an ear-splitting high pitch whistle at higher power that causes headaches in everyone nearby. My existing induction burner does not have this issue, again using the same pans

I purchased this because of the price, I was a little leary from mixed reviews. I personally never had a problem with this company. But I was concerned about this ear splitting headache sound many complained about if turned up high. I know its a few days before 2021. I just received it and tried it for 3 hours on number 15 and 460F. With 4 cooks in the kitchen and silent there was no headache splitting sound coming out of this induction cooker. And yes it was cooking at high temp not just turned on. I cancelled my Winco EC-400 order from another vendor. That unit was more then 2x the price. Truthfully its built well and if it died in a year I still got my moneys worth. I tell it the way it is.

The Avantco IC1800 stands out as a superior induction model, showcasing durability and functionality. Despite one unit being compromised by water, the remaining 6 units have proven their longevity. Overall, a satisfactory product.

The item is definitely commercial grade, which can be overkill for a residential environment, but you get what you pay for. The unit powers up great and has a lot of adjustments. This is perfect for a residential setting as it's built to a higher standard.

If your looking for the cheap way or don't use it a lot go with this is the one, if you use it daily I would pay a bit more for a better brand because it will go out after about a year.

Great induction range. Heats water very quickly! It does make a slight high pitch noise when cranked up but it’s easy to ignore. Plenty of power too!

these things just keep going! I have two of them and use them every day in a busy little restaurant. they hold the temp well and heat up very fast. they don't get dangerously hot either. clean up well too. I'd absolutely buy again.

Great product! Saves me time and money and space! Easy to use and clean.

In our prep kitchen, we have done everything we can to eliminate open flames so these induction burners have been a must-have. The catering staff has been very happy with the performance and I have liked it so much I bought one for home personal use as well. Very easy to use as long as you have the proper cookware.

Induction is perfect device whenever we do not have access to our main kitchen. Warms fast and keeps heat consistent and stable. Very reliable - would highly recommend.

Great unit but not suggested for pressure cookers. Bigger units require 20 and 30 amp and outlets which are rare in kitchens not being already used just wrap canner with reflective layer and be sure to get the right tape. Not recommended for heavy long cooks because it takes long to reach proper pressure.

would not get a 10 quart stock pot up to temp and started throwing an error code after 40 minutes of use. junk. waste of time and money.

works amazing easy to clean and transport!

Heats evenly and the smaller size makes it easy to move around. We use it with large pots and pans and the entire surface heats up fast and even.

used the first one of 3 and it shorted on the second use . not too happy with that happening by the second use

Coil is too small for “average” larger pans. Inner pan is only area doing the actual cooking.

I purchased 2 and they work great. I wish that the timer setting would turn off the machine and not just notify you. Also, it would be nice to set a timer for incriminates of 1 instead of 5. I am sure that it is for safety reasons to not walk away from heating something. I also think that the lights shouldn't flash when not in use. Otherwise the time is great.

A nice, solid 120v induction hotplate. I am using this in my all-electric camper van. It replaced a consumer level unit, and I have to say that I'm loving it. Good controls, solid construction. No complaints.

Can’t work. always code “E0” i try to change my pot and pan small and large It can’t work. I need to change or return please
