Karinear 2 Burner Electric Cooktop 12 Inch, Drop-in Radiant Cooktop

Update 6/25: After a year and 8 months, the second stove had its rightmost upper corner out of service. I contacted the manufacturer, and I got a new replacement stove within a few days. The product manufacturer 5 year warranty is very well. the customer support from Karinear is excellent. The company is not only selling a good product but also standing behind its product. I recommend to buy this Karinear stove. ===== End of update ========= The item is the second item that I purchased. The first one had a crack in the glass after over one year usage, it is due to my maintenance error (cleaning with cold damp tower while the store surface was hot). Pros: * Nice contemporary looking. * Provide good power for cooking. * Easy to clean. Tips: Using lock funtion before cleaning surface to avoid activating other touch button. Never clean when surface is hot, this can crack the glass surface. Cons: * The provided power is not very strong for extreme hot cooking; howver, it should be enough for the normal cooking. Anyway, my cracked glass stove will be used as a spare part unit In summary, I am happy with this stove purchase

10 minute install. Works great. Gets hot fast, cooks fast. For some odd reason it takes a long time to boil water, it may be the steel pot I use. It gets food hot with cast iron. The lock function works and I like it but its way too sensitive. Any accidental touch or swipe and it locks itself out. I have paid a lot more for major brands that are made in China anyway so I figured I'd just keep changing these cheap ones out when they break or stop working. I can get 3 for the price 1 of the major brands. I would buy again for sure.

This is our second or of these that gets a ton of use up at our cabin. The lock feature is quite annoying, and when I dropped a cast iron Dutch oven on the first one and cracked the glass, I looked for a similar model but without the lock feature, but they all must be required to have it. So I went back to this model since we liked everything else about it. My husband installed it himself, since we’re in a remote location, and thought we’d gotten a defective one, because it was working but would only get lukewarm. But before sending it back, he experimented and discovered he’d switched 2 wires, so be aware if you run into a ‘lukewarm’ issue. So overall we’re pleased, just wish we knew how to disable the lock.

I’m very happy with this induction cooktop! It heats up quickly, is easy to use, and works really well. The design is nice, and it’s also easy to clean. Great quality for the price. Highly recommend!

Estoy encantada con esta placa eléctrica. Calienta rápido, es fácil de usar y tiene un tamaño perfecto. Se siente de buena calidad, funciona muy bien y es muy práctica para cocinar o calentar alimentos. Además, es fácil de limpiar. ¡La recomiendo totalmente!

We loved this stove top and it worked great until it didn't anymore. In just one night all of a sudden, while cooking on it, it started to smell like something was burning and it shut off and will not turn back on. It only lasted for 5 months!

We had to replace our old cooktop due to a severe thunderstorm. A tree on the main road bounce multiple times off power lines causing high voltage surges that fried the cooktop's electronics. We went to the area stores that sell appliances and none of the stores stocked the cooktops. Most of the stores we would have to order and wait 10 days for delivery. So we took a chance and ordered from Amazon. The Karinear cooktop was more than $300 less than the store brands. The cooktop arrived 3 days after ordering. The packaging was sound and there were no issues with the delivery. The cooktop installation was simple with no issues. As long as your counter top opening is parallel to the backsplash and has at least 3/16" on all sides it will be a simple drop-in and the sideclips on the cooktop will hold it in place. The low height off the cooktop allowed me to place a standard cabinet with a drawer with no modifications. The co cooktop's additional burner is great if you need a very large kettle to straddle two burners to boil water for bottling preserves. We have been using the cooktop for 3 months and had three similar issues with trees bouncing off the power lines creating surges. We have had no issues and are happy with the purchase.

I really like the 5 burners and no knobs. The reason we got a new cooktop was because the exact replacement knobs for our old cooktop were almost as much as this entire new cooktop with 5 burners instead of 4 on our old one. And, this one heats up much faster. The two items that took a little bit to figure out were (a) how to unlock it once locked (answer: you hold the lock button for about 5 seconds); and (b) how to engage the outside or extended burner because it defaults to the smallest option (answer: push the plus button to start the burner, then hit the button on the far left until you see two lines by the burner control.). Once you master those two tricks … your good.

Pedí que alguien me la instalara, fue muy complicado para mí hacerlo. Pero funciona súper, llevo usándola 6 meses sin problema. A veces se pone el candado solo pero solo tienes que sostener el dedo sobre el icono de “candado” unos segundos y se desbloquea.

Se ve que es de buena calidad. Utiliza corriete 220 v cuenta con 4 quemadores, dos grandes de 1,400 voltios y 2 medianos de 1,200 v. El consumo de energia es razonable: un quemador grande prendido 1 hora continua, utiliza 1.4kw Para saber el costo de energia, multiplica 1.4kw por el costo de Kw de tu zona.

Fits just perfect for our old/tired/broken cooktop. And it works great. And you can hardly beat the price.

No calienta suficiente ni para calentar un comal para tortillas

Necesito un manual en español ya que el instructivo viene en diferentes idiomas, sobre todo para hacer la instalación eléctrica.
