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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Very good, keeps going!

I use this constantly to make syrup for Italian meringue buttercream and this is a great little hot plate especially for the price it's easy to clean

We love this 120v induction range cooker. Works exactly as intended and would highly recommend. The only issues making sure we have the correct induction pans.

We keep kosher and have limited space for the "milk" side of our kitchen. This induction burner is great b/c it's well-built, stores out of the way and heats up quickly so we can feed our kids in a hurry. It's also great b/c only the part that contacts the pan gets hot. I'd recommend this over a "residential" brand for home use given the modest increase in price.

Simple, clean design but fires up nearly instant. Works just as well as similar model I paid 5x for. Nearly set-it and forget-it consistent performance virtually eliminates needs for double boiler configurations.
