Avantco IC1800P Countertop Induction Range / Cooker with Probe - 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.

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.

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

Great item. Exactly as described.

Absolutely love this device! It is my first induction cooktop, and it has quickly replaced my gas stove as I have purchased a second one. Cooking is now quicker, more precise, and cleanup is easier, and no more worries about the gas and/or burner being left on. The timer is also very nice to have so you can be cooking and leave the kitchen with no worries. And this unit is no toy: it appears to be built rugged and meant to last. Only drawback is the warranty does not currently cover residential use for some strange reason.

I love that it automatically turns off after the timer is set and goes off! Super easy when our shop gets busy!

Works great for our school coffee shop.

great price with this induction and it works very well, easy to clean and light weight. quick efficiency.

Works great. Really nice even temperature, great for simmering soups and gravies without scorching. It doesn't get hot enough to sear effectively, but it gets a lot of use from our pastry chef to do double boilers.

We use these Ranges all the time they are very useful and practical . very durable and worth the money , highly recommend

nice cooker, I will buy again. it heat up fast, good induction frying pan heat up a bit faster. my Gas supply is inadequate in pressure it is a good alternative choice. i can easily adjust accurate heating power, i don't need to worry my food will be burnt when I am cooking other thing in the same time.

The thermostat knob broke after 2 weeks no option for replacement called for parts they don't have, if they have parts available I'll give them 3 stars otherwise don't waste money.
