Avantco ICBTM-20 Countertop Induction Range / Cooker - 120V, 1800W

There are many mixed reviews on this product. Common sense tells you not to use a pan larger than range, or it will not heat properly. I have only had it a few months, but it really meets my needs in my small commercial space. I am impressed with how quickly it gets up to temp. You barely have to touch the buttons to adjust it, so the lock feature makes it nice in case you brush the panel. For the price--really, you can't beat it.

My team does multiple in-home as well as conference / large meeting cooking demonstrations per month and needed a reliable, cost-effective, readily portable induction unit to take on the road with us. We've been thrilled the past few months using this Avantco ICBTM-20 countertop induction unit - it's been a consistent performer, heats water and cooking goodies with amazing speed for us, and is a never-ending target of questions and comments from students and attendees. Will be adding two double burner induction units shortly, and have never noticed the high pitched whine that some users have reported in the past. For the price, this is a wonderful tool for the road or home kitchen.

I've been using diverse traditional electric and gas range tops. The Avantcto ICBTM-20, 1.8 KW, 120 V, reaches the 460º F very fast. I also have the bigger Avantco 3.5 KW, 220 V, and both models perform similarly in applications with skillets. Truly a good small induction range, the Avantco 1.8 W, we're reviewing with 5 stars. Many other good brands offer de 1 KW for a more expensive price. The smaller the cast iron skillet you are using, like the Tablecrat CW30152 24 oz mini casserole (8" diameters) with handles, the faster you can cook. When turning on, in a minute i'm frying eggs. I switch between 180ºF and 220ºF to do the perfect eggs.

Stopped working after around 10 uses. It won't even turn on, and since it's a food truck, the warranty expires after 30 days and there's nothing I can do. It's still in perfect shape and just won't turn on. I spend thousands on Webstaurant and literally rave about this website to people, so it's very disappointing.

These are great, economical, and versatile induction cooktops. They'll handle sizes of pans and skillets from six to ten inches, including cast iron. The won't take small five-inch pans or anything greater than ten inches. They bring the items to temperature quickly and hold the set temperature with a range of 140 to 420. The timer has increments of five minutes and shuts the cooktop off at the end of the period. These can be used for everything from keeping food warms to sauteing and pan frying.

The Avantco ICBTM-20 Countertop Induction Range is a good buy heats up as it should and is easy to use. Prices are great for this product and they usually have it in stock.

Firstly, I love induction. This worked ok for awhile. I like that it’s quite portable and lightweight. However, it didn’t last long. I wish I got more than a year of light duty use.

I read the reviews and thought that they just did not have a big enough pot and that is why their unit did not work. Well I was wrong, the manufacture's spec.'s state 5.5" to 10.25" pot will work, that is not the case. I have a 7" pot and my range will not work which is depressing! w2hen I use a 10" plus pot this range rocks. I am going to see if I can return it because I want to be able to use a smaller sauce pan within in the spec's I bought it for! They get an F for range of use.

As long as the range is durable, it's a good buy. No issues at a one month mark. Heats quickly. We use the controls that shows power wattage. Interestingly it jumps from 500 to 800, then 1000 and up. We're still playing with the controls, but I like this product.

We have been using this everyday for months and so far, so good! Easy to clean/maintain and perfect for our kitchens limited space. Would recommend this for light cooking and small areas although we have been using our pretty heavily!

This thing took some getting used as I wasn't as familiar with setting the watts and the temp separately, but after getting the hang of it, it's a really great induction burner. The only negative thing I would say about it, is the fan does run for a bit after it's turned off and it's a little loud, but other than that it's a great buy for the price.

Works great when you get used to it. We didn't realize you had to use a metal pot to get the heat going but once we figured it out, it worked great!

I used it 3 times. It broke. Won't turn on. It's a restocking fee if it happened w in 30 days, but of course mine was w in 40 days.. so I'm out of luck.. won't be purchasing off of this site anymore. Garbage

I bought one of these about 2 years ago. It is an incredible value. I have used it for most of my cooking needs. From making eggs, pancakes, slow frying Bacon to boiling water for pasta or rice or oatmeal. I normally use it on low setting. Rarely do I go over 1000. I keep a paper towel on top to keep it nice and clean. Only thing I do not like about it, is that the OFF setting does not turn off the display. Other negative is the timer. It uses 5 minute increments. Would be nice to be able to set the increments town a a single minute. Would I buy it again?. Yes, and I just ordered a two more.

This induction range is so compact and works very quickly. We use this product daily and it’s worth very penny . This is a great option overall

Great item. Exactly as described.

Worked well for 2.5 years. It can easily overheat when used for pre-programmed 2hr time limit, especially with a large pot full of hot liquid (yes, not great for cooking). Just suddenly died, burnt out. Electrical heating devices can fail at any time. Nothing beats gas for consistency.

Great induction range!!! We improved efficiency with this product.
