Overview
The Ovente BGI302GB is a compact 1800 watt double infrared hot plate with two independently controlled 6.5 inch burners in a 16 by 9 inch body. It suits dorms, RVs, offices, or anyone needing a portable second cooktop rather than a full range replacement.
Each burner runs its own 900 watts rather than splitting power unevenly between a primary and secondary ring, which is the detail several buyers checked before buying. The control knobs are thermostatic on-off rotors rather than smooth rheostats, so getting a precise low simmer takes some trial and error with the click point rather than a dial you can eyeball. Buyers who expected a full-size cooktop were caught out by its actual footprint, since Ovente doesn't post dimensions prominently: it fits two roughly 3 quart pans at most.
- 1800W total, dual 900W infrared burners
- 16 by 9 inch body, 6.5 inch burners
- Independent knobs with indicator lights
- Black crystalline glass, stainless steel and iron body
Who it's for
Good for a dorm, RV, or apartment cook who needs a second or backup burner and can work around a compact 16 by 9 inch surface. Not a fit for anyone expecting full-range burner sizes or wanting a burner that goes to a very low simmer instantly.
Pros and cons
- Two independent 900 watt burners, not split unevenly
- Compact enough for dorms, RVs, or a second station
- Side handles and rubber feet for stable portability
- Wipes clean easily according to multiple buyers
- Small footprint, fits about two 3 quart pans
- Knobs are click-set, not a precise continuous dial
- At least one report of the glass surface scratching
Performance notes
The two 900 watt infrared burners heat independently, so one side can run hot while the other holds low, and one buyer clocked it bringing 2 cups of water to a soft boil in under 5 minutes. The knobs work as thermostatic on-off rotors rather than continuous dials, meaning you turn slowly until you hear a click to set a level, then let the unit cycle to hold that temperature rather than reading a fixed number. That cycling behavior is also what a couple of buyers describe as slow to cool and inconsistent, since the burner is switching on and off rather than staying at a steady output.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Ovente BGI302GB?
It measures about 16 by 9 inches overall, with each burner roughly 6.5 inches across, smaller than some buyers expect from photos alone.
Are both burners the same wattage?
Yes, each of the two infrared burners runs at 900 watts for a combined 1800 watts.
Can you set a precise low simmer?
The knobs are thermostatic on-off controls rather than smooth dials, so low settings take some trial and error to find the right click point.
