A capable stand-in for a full stove that heats fast enough for daily cooking, but treat it like any electric coil burner: do not leave it unattended and expect the thermostat to be the part that eventually wears out.

Overview
The Cusimax ES-3202 is a countertop double burner with two 900 watt cast iron plates (1800W combined), a thermostat knob per side, and a stainless steel body.
This is a cast-iron coil burner, not an induction cooktop, so it works with any pot or pan up to about 7.4 by 6.1 inches rather than requiring induction-compatible cookware. Reviewer experience splits on durability: several describe years of daily reliable use, while others report the thermostat wearing out after about two years or the unit running hotter than expected, with one detailed test measuring only 1390W draw and a body that got extremely hot during a boil test.
- 1800W combined output, two 900W cast iron plates
- Fits cookware up to 7.4 x 6.1 inches
- Thermostat cycles power to hold set temperature
- Stainless steel body
Who it's for
Useful as a stove replacement or backup for dorms, RVs, or a temporarily broken kitchen stove, where you need real cooking heat from any type of cookware. Less suited to anyone who wants an induction burner's speed or plans to run it unattended, since one detailed test found the body surface getting very hot.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Several long-term owners report daily reliable use for meal prep and describe the heat-up as faster than expected, with one calling it a solid replacement for a broken kitchen stove. On the negative side, one detailed watt-meter test found the unit drawing less than its rated 1800W while the body itself became very hot, and another owner reported the thermostat degrading after about two years of daily cooking.
