Karinear Portable Ceramic Hob for ALL Cookware, Pulg in Single Electric Hob with 4-Hour Timer, 9 Power Levels Up to 2000W, 8 Pre-set Functions Touch Sensor Control, Safety Lock

Quite lightweight and easy to use, perfect for cookery classes and portable kitchens. Surface is nice and flat so extremely easy to clean once it''s cooled down. Tested it and boiled a pan of water in less than 10 mins at 1800 watts (it goes up to 2000 if needed). The fan stays on once turned of to keep cooling down and it's not that noisy as some mentioned in their reviews. It's a fan!! Plenty of warning for hot surface. Definitely a good product, I need 4 in total but bought only one to test first. Getting the other 3 straight away.

I bought my first one last year as I was about to downsize and not take the cooker with me. Thought it would do as a stop gap but after seven months daily use it's been so good that I don't want to go back to a normal size cooker. I don't need 4 rings but I thought 2 might be beneficial so today I've taken delivery of my second hob, identical to the first. I'm 76 so I had a few crucial criteria on the checklist when I was choosing a model. Safe, simple, stable, solid and sensible. This ticks all those and more. No fiddly knobs. Simple, effective and rapid heat control by means of a touch screen. The lettering is clear and easy to read and the display lets you know exactly what power level you're on. If you need to raise or lower it, just touch the screen till you reach the required level (e.g if you boiled something and then want to simmer). Easy to clean - no different to any other ceramic hob but I will get some purpose made cleaner for it tomorrow. It's wiped after every use and I was careful when siting it, ensuring it sits on a heavy duty heatproof & level base, under the extractor and with clearance around it. So, my experience to date has been excellent - boils well, simmers perfectly, fries evenly - all with standard cookware. The 2nd hob will be used with borosilicate glass jugs for gently heating drinks and keeping them warm at the dining table. I need to master the timer next as I've not tried it yet. It arrived well packaged, no damage whatsoever, speedy delivery and includes as instruction book. Note this is not a flimsy item but a solid piece of proper kitchen equipment that will hopefully be the last I need to buy. First rate product Karinear, thank you, and thank you to Amazon for great service.

Needed a small standalone hob electric hob in case we did not have any spare rings on main cooker. This does the job. It is a great bit of kit. A things to note ,,, The layout is super good and easy to use. It is cooled by fans, so there is a bit of background noise when you are cooking. The feet ... For it to be standalone, on a kitchen side, you have to attach the four feet. Only problem was the screws that came to attach the feet are not long enough, so the feet will not attach. Luckily for for the missus, like all good husbands, keep a load of spare bolts and screws in the shed (in case it comes in handy). Found 4 small screw / bolts of just the right size (think they came off a television bracket). Now feet attached and solid. The only other query is that this comes with a 13amp plug. Underneath it states this appliance is 16amp. I suppose you should have both rings on full.

Easy to use , I’m using it as a portable because I have a small kitchen and I want to be able to move it to create space, I am 78 and finding it a little heavy however I’m very pleased with it. Heat output accurate, looks good.

Heats up quickly; looks good. Several modes to use but also able to increase/decrease heat manually. Easy to clean. Bought whilst waiting for my new hob to arrive.

Perfect for the space needed. Plugs in. Can be mounted into surface or used as portable. Heats quickly, lock feature, cools quickly, 9 settings.

Unable to use with drawers underneath as the mains wiring comes straight out of the bottom and catches on the drawer back otherwise the cooker would have been good

Wow, performing very well.

Firstly let me say that this is my own personal experience, which may differ from other purchasers, but I’m hoping it will help others who intend to purchase the same electric cooker. Before selecting this item I did my due diligence and reviewed similar electric cookers and read their written reviews, and the one thing that was above those that I reviewed that made me select the Karinear, was the Title shown for the function mode. i.e. “Melt” thru to “Fast Heat”. No guessing at what mode you are cooking at, nor, trying to remember what the manual says for the wattage. It’s there in front of you. Considering I am an 80 year senior it’s a blessing. Although it heats up fast it isn’t as fast as an induction cooker, or so I am told, but it definitely heats up quicker than my stove. I give Customer Service 5 stars. I had cause to contact them when I opened the box and secondly in operating the cooker. I have a string of emails with respect to each contact, which are beyond reproach. I for one think that the service I received was excellent. As for the cooker….I wasn’t sure whether to give it 4 or 5, but decided 5 since it is a good cooker that I like, it does what it is supposed to do and makes my life easier. Why the 4 you may well ask. Well, I found the instructions a little confusing and I consider them to be not very user friendly for seniors. Hopefully however the following may explain it and I am referring to the manual provided. Step 1 is good but the On/Off button stays alight, it is only saying the power is on so don’t panic. Step 2 is good EXCEPT DO NOT PUSH AND HOLD THE BUTTONS. They are Touch Buttons so TAP the buttons like tapping an icon on your mobile, a gentle tap. This I discovered after a lot of heartache, attempts and time spent. Step 3 is good Step 4.1 Having written many instructions, read and approved many prior to retirement this gave me heartache. This is what I found. After Step 3 TAP the Function button and 1000W appears. I waited about 1 second (counted 1001) tapped again the Function button, waited and continued tapping until I had gone through all function modes back to 1000W, waiting about a second between each tap. I did that just to make sure that that is what I have to do. I switched it all off, waited until cool and then went through again until it got to the cooking mode I wanted and stopped. That is basically the intent of Step 4. If you have a problem in getting to the function mode you may want to try this. Step 5 I haven’t tried Step 6 Yes you can increase the wattage or decrease but in tapping the Function button it doesn’t jump to the corresponding mode. i.e. going from boil mode (800W) down to simmer (400W) ). In changing, tapping the - sign, I am assuming it does drop in wattage. The alternative I found was to tap the Function button when in 800W and continue tapping Function until you get to simmer. That’s easiest for me because it saves wondering if you are getting the correct temperature. Step 7 I haven’t tried I am very pleased I purchased it and, as you probably guessed, I thoroughly recommend this item and shall continue to enjoy cooking on it.

Me gustó mucho es muy práctica funciona al 100%. Puedo usar cualquier olla o sarten. Esta hasta ahora excelente llevo casi un mes usándola. Recomiendo ver algunos videos en you tube de cómo usarla

I bought this for a couple reasons. 1st to be used while camping. The grill is great but not for boiling water or making soup. 2nd, because it is a ceramic top and easy to clean. I boiled a medium pot of water to a rumbling boil on max heat in roughly 10 minutes. I was boiling potatoes so the pot was quite full. Dropped the temp down as it boiled over to the boil temp and that kept it at a very light boil. Enough to cook my soon to be mashed potatoes but not make a mess. Very simple to use. I just assume to use the presets. Makes it easier for me to remember how I cooked what. I did not find it load like others but I was using it outside the camper. You do hear the fan, nlt going to lie but I had multiple things cooking and was occupied enough with that, music and drinks. It was a non issue for me. The only thing I will say is from other photos, it seems the feet are different on each. Mine had small pencil like feet with little rubber anti-skid pads. Not big rubber screw on ones. Whick I think I would prefer. But that is my only complaint and it did not effect anything on how I use it or how it performed. It is also pretty slick looking. Time will tell on the quality and durability of it. It will always be stored in the pop-up and will get jostled around when traveling.

Our stove went out so since we never use the oven we decided to go with this along with a cabinet will steel top. Works great. Can easily cook our meals
