Overview
The Cusimax ES-3202C is a double burner infrared ceramic cooktop rated at 1800 watts combined output, with each burner independently controlled, meant as a countertop stand in for a stove or a second cooking surface.
The two burners run on separate dials so one side can simmer while the other boils, which is the main draw over a single hot plate. Cusimax's own listing notes the unit gets warm to the touch during use, and reviewers confirm the metal housing and knobs can get hot enough that gloves are worth having on hand when both burners run on high. Total wattage is split between two 900W elements rather than one 1800W burner.
- 1800W combined, two independently controlled burners
- Ceramic infrared glass cooktop
- Stainless steel body
- Automatic safety shutoff with thermostat
Who it's for
Good for dorms, RVs, small kitchens or anyone needing an extra burner, since it needs no stovetop hookup. Less suited to someone expecting a single burner strong enough to sear at a full 1800W, since each side tops out at 900W.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who replaced older coil hot plates say this one heats noticeably faster and cleans up with a simple wipe. Complaints include the housing and knobs getting hot enough to need care when both burners run on high, one report of the burner surface peeling after a single use, and a note that the two burners split the 1800W rating rather than each delivering it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Two independently controlled burners
- Heats faster than older coil style hot plates
- Glass ceramic top wipes clean easily
- Portable enough for travel or RV use
- Each burner maxes out at 900W, not the full 1800W
- Housing and knobs get hot to the touch on high settings
- One reviewer had the burner surface peel after first use
Performance notes
The infrared ceramic elements heat faster than the coil style hot plates some reviewers replaced, with one owner comparing boil times favorably to a home stovetop. The glass top wipes clean without scrubbing burnt spills, and the auto safety shutoff and thermostat regulate temperature during use, though the housing and control knobs do get hot when both burners run on high.
