   I bought both products below:1. The Proctor Silex Electric Single Burner Cooktop, Compact and Portable, Adjustable Temperature Hot Plate, 1200 Watts, White & Stainless (34106). ASIN #: B086BYH8LJ2. The Ovente 1700W Double Hot Plate Electric Countertop Coil Stove 5.7 & 6 Inch with Dual 5 Level Temperature Control & Stainless Steel Base, Easy Clean Portable Cooktop Burner for Cooking, Black BGC102B. ASIN #: B07HJQCSXHThe Proctor Silex pros:-Heats significantly faster, and water is actually boiling, however will have problems with medium and larger pots with more water.-Easy to clean (you can lift up the coil)-The coils have more surface area (i.e. more coiled metal) so it heats faster-The coils have a flat top, so pots/pans stay on it much betterCons:-The power cord is very short. I had to get an extension cable (as you can’t use a regular extension cable or you can start a file) with enough electrical capacity to carry the juice, such as this item: 12 Ft Appliance Extension Cord Heavy Duty, Gray – 14 Gauge 3 Prong SPT-3 Cable for Air Conditioner or Refrigerator (ASIN #: B07ZS2X5VB)-The power LED comes on the moment you plug it. But to be fair, this is working as designed because it’s a “power” LED that shows when it has power and NOT an LED that comes on when you actually have the knob turned to on. It’s a poor design, but it is working as designed.-It won’t be as powerful or as hot as a typical stove, so don’t whine about it. A typical stove has its own dedicated circuit. That’s like buying a scooter and complaining it doesn’t go as fast as your car.*************************************The Ovente pros:-It has two burnersCons:-Cooking things on top of it, sometimes the pots and pans move so you have to use one hand to hold the pot/pan, such as when cooking eggs. This is because the top of the coils are not flat, and some parts stick slightly up higher.-Water did eventually boil after a significant amount of time longer than the Proctor Silex, but the water appears to “simmer” more than boil. I believe this is due to the fact the coil has less surface area to make contact.-Power cord also very short, but slightly longer than the Proctor Silex. Still, it’s too short and I needed a powerful 14 gauge power extension to use it under the vent.-The unit itself got much hotter than the Proctor Silex, so you can easily burn yourself if you’re not careful.I would purchase the Proctor Silex again. I wouldn’t purchase the Ovente again. In fact, since it’s dangerous as things can fall off the coils AND it doesn’t seem to heat as well and takes a long time before water actually boils, I’ll be returning it.UPDATE: Bought May 31, 2021. Dead 9/20, 2021. Oh well, I did use it multiple times a day. I guess the heat eventually killed the unit. The red light still works though 🙂 For under $20 bucks, what did you expect?UPDATE Nov, 2022: Rebought Oct, 2021 because had no other alternative. 2nd one still working a little over a year later.UPDATE Dec, 2022: I just bought the New Wave induction cooktop to try. So far that one is great and boils water very fast and well, and doesn’t generate heat (during hot summers). If you need water boiling well for pasta, go induction. You’ll need special cookware though.

   This is the third and best cooking plate I’ve gotten. The first one I got, not this brand, was slow to heat and once it heated extremely slow to cool. The second, and induction top, heated fast and cooled fast but was horrible for frying – everything stick to the pan immediately. But this one – this Proctor Silex – is perfect. Heats fasts and cools fast as well. Great control over my heat. And fried eggs like a dream. I love it. Wish they made a larger burner one. Maybe they do. I gotta check. Don’t let the low price fool you -this is a gem!!!!

   The only minor downsides are that the burning elements were a little smaller in overall diameter than i was expecting, which is not a deal breaker since I purchased it for the higher number if spirals in the coil, and that the element itself was not completely flat so that a small portion of the element was not touching the bottom of the pan. The element itself appears to be of a thicker build though so I expect excellent longevity out of these burners. I purchased them as back-ups in case of emergency and for portable use. I noticed they boiled a pan of water very quickly. Good, solid product.

   This burner is used for a camper to replace the gas stove so that it’s cleaner/easier to use. This burner doesn’t disappoint, works well, and heats up very quickly. I was able to boil water in a very short amount of time, quicker even than the gas one that was before it!

   Did what it needed to – plugged in and heated quickly. At the highest dial setting ( settings are not marked it’s a dial that turns from off to high) but at high setting it quickly boiled water. The burner size seems sufficient and it seems level. I plan to use it only when traveling to hotels without full kitchens so it won’t get regular use. The materials feel cheap and lightweight (light weight is a plus for travel) but I fear it might be a reflection of quality and longevity so time will tell.

   For a light little unit like this packs a good heating element that is able to keep a large pot boiling outdoors in the wind just fine.
