Avantco W50CKR 12" x 20" Full Size Electric Countertop Food Warmer - 120V, 1500W

I bought two for these food cooker/warmers. One lasted 4 weeks, the other lasted 5 weeks.

I tried to use this product. I purchased a second before I even did a through job checking out the first one. I regret it. Yes it heats, yes it functions. But the description says 1/3 pans can be used. Now I tried 3 different sets of pans. All from different manufactures and not they do not fit properly. The pan edges will overlap to fit. Now this food warmer steams. And steam creates moisture, and some of the product you may intend to keep in your pans will get the steam coming up around the pan and into the pan since it is not a “ proper” seal. I watched this happen. Also this causes more steam to escape than normal and therefore you have to watch more regularly so as not to burn out your warmer. When serving the public these are problems I do not want to deal with. I have ordered many things from this site. Basically built my food trailer with these folks. However I do NOT recommend this device.

Works as intended while it lasts. Purchased one that lasted 10 months and was replaced. Replacement has also lasted 10 months. Will fail to heat and seems to be caused by a wiring issue into the thermostat.

This machine is great. It is priced very competitively. This unit can boil water, I love this feature. If you are just looking for a basic water table to hot hold soup, there is another model that is cheaper.

Excellent warmer. My only mistake was not confirming if our electrical panel was able to support 3 warmers. It is not. Fuse kept blowing, we can only use one at a time. Please note these are 1500 watts each!

We have been using this soup warmer for about 6 weeks now and the heating element has already died. This is a huge disadvantage to our kitchen staff! I emailed Avantco to ask about a warranty replacement asap and will update on their response.

Been using this regularly as both a warmer and cooker. Heats an entire pan of foil wrapped bean burritos to 140+ in about 20 minutes and keeps them very hot. High wattage however (1500w), so it sometimes trips the GFCI outlet or even the breaker if there is no GFCI. It also does not have a temperature dial, just goes from low to high so regulating temp is tricky.

Great steam table when it worked. The warranty is for 6 months from purchase and the product died just before month 7. Very disappointed in a product that can't even last a year.

Great for keeping food warm for quick service. Easy to clean. Ours did burn out after six months,so we ended up switching to the 1200W. both are great.

Purchased three units in February and two already stopped working. Called customer and they asked how many days and hours a week I use the unit. I informed them 7 days per week 12 hours a day. They informed me this unit is for light use only and I should purchase a different unit. The description on the website did not mention for light duty. On of the unit only lasted a month. Also, warranty is only six months not twelve like most others. The unit that lasted only a month I purchased eight months before and set on the shelf as a back up and then was informed no warranty after on a month of use.

Great warmer from Avantco. Very easy to use and convenient. Keep our metleted chocolates in proper temperature all day long. Highly recommended. Will buy more.

These warmers are great.We use them for parties all the time.Just bought Another one.

Barely lasted a year. Heating mechanism no longer works and it was purchased 5/2023

Not good unless you budget buying one or two per year. First one died within week of warranty ending and replacement died after just a few months. Replacement not covered by any warranty of course, or else the company would be sending out a constant stream of replacements! 0/10 DO NOT recommend.

We absolutely love this warmer. It heat rapidly, and the insert pans clean up so very well. One of my new employees didn't know to put water in the reservoir and the stainless cracked a few days later. (It only went a few hours, at the most, without water.) I called the manufacture to see about a new stainless pan but that isn't an option. Now my second one looks as though a hairline crack is forming and it hasn't been without water. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there another brand that has thicker stainless? My husband is a welder but he said the pan couldn't be fixed due to the thinness of the metal.

This worked well...while it was working. We have been using this as a soup warmer for about 7 months and all of a sudden it stopped working. We only use it about 6-7 hours a day 6-7 days a week. Very disappointed.

Unit works well, heats quickly, has lighter construction than most units.

Absolute junk! Worked for a week and the thermostat controller went out. Save your self the time, money, and loss of business from being down a warmer for three weeks by buying a different brand.

Needed a table top warmer. It does exactly what I need it to do.

Very useful
