Portable Induction Cooktop, iSiLER 1800W Sensor Touch Electric Induction Cooker Hot Plate with Kids Safety Lock, 6.7" Heating Coil, 18 Power 17 Temperature Setting Countertop Burner with Timer

Great product, terrible beep, easy fix.0. You'll want to wipe down the surface of your cooktop, and unplug it. At this point I should note that you are responsible for your own safety, the voiding of your warranty, you forgetting that you were just using your hot plate as a space heater for four hours and burning something, and so on. Follow these (simple) instructions at your own risk.1. Flip the cooktop over. There should be six readily apparent Phillips screws on the back. You don't need to remove any of the rubber footing or any seals. Remove the six screws and separate the heating element from the cooktop surface.2. Now, there should be a board next to the heating element. Not the one obscured by the heating element, the one with the springs that was contacting the control panel, the one you touch when you adjust heat and use the power button. On this board, you want to locate a small black cylinder labelled ZLFY. Honestly, it's the only thing that really looks like a speaker, and if you Google the code etched on it (which you always should) it confirms that it's the super annoying buzzer that makes this product a 3/5 instead of a 5/5, because I use a hot plate to cook at 3 am when everyone's asleep.3. To remove this buzzer, you could pull the board up, go get your soldering kit, and desolder it from the other side. But what I tried, so that you wouldn't have to, is just snapping it off with needlenose pliers, which worked perfectly. BE CAREFUL: These boards are easier than you might think to break. There are two pieces to the buzzer, and the first one you can pull off more or less perpendicular to the board with your pliers. But the piece that's actually soldered on won't come off like this. You will feel the board straining if you try it. Firmly grip it with the pliers at an angle and steadily twist it off the board. It should come right off. If it doesn't, it's possible yours just has more solder, but I suspect most people will be able to do this with ease.4. The thermal paste on the heating element will be unsealed, but given that this entire device is designed to cook chicken, not play Minecraft, and they barely used thermal paste on mine to begin with, I think it'll be fine. If not, I'll report back with a guide about how it takes five seconds to replace thermal paste.5. Reassemble heating element and cooktop surface with six Phillips screws. The beep should be gone.If you try this, please post the outcome.Edit: It has been five days and cooking is going fine without replacing the thermal paste.

Our little iSiler induction burner gets used virtually every day, often more than once. It gets used more than our Bosch gas cooktop. Why? 1) It is just as fast or faster than the gas burners. It's a lot faster heating oil in a fry pan, and a little faster boiling water. 2) It has tremendous precision. I set the temperature and don't have to worry about whether I'm using a better or lesser pan. 3) It's much, much easier to clean. 4) It improves our indoor air quality.I make omelettes most mornings and it's awesome for that. I can set the temperature to 200, put in some frozen, add a little oil, and thaw frozen garlic. While I chop veggies, the garlic thaws, turn up the temperature to 320, and in a minute, it's ready for onion, peppers, etc. When the veggies are ready, I turn it down to 300 and put the eggs in. It's sooo much easier than cooking on gas. We stayed in a condo with a smooth (non-induction) electric cooktop. They had a better pan, but I couldn't get used to how long it took to heat the pan or how long to drop the temperature.18 months later, well 19 months, it still works just like it did the first day. I wholeheartedly endorse this product.

Pros:- Pretty inexpensive- Controls are simple- Printed dots on the cooktop surface prevents pans/pots slidingCons:- Fans are rather loud- Heating element is single and not big- Power control under 800w is not fine enoughI bought this after our induction range broke and waiting for service. While waiting for the delivery, we borrowed a portable induction cooktop from neighbor, so I have used one real induction cooktop, and 2 portable so far.Controls are dead simple, and I like it.The portable cooktop I borrowed has smooth surface and even if the cooktop is pretty flat, my coffee pot tends to slide out. With this one, it does not with same set up, so if you are looking for one, you should look for the cooktop with lots of prints on it.As for power output, this is more than adequate. I have no problem with sheering meet. However when I used a large cast iron pan, it was clear that the heat output is in the middle and does not spread the heat well. With real induction range, this isn't a problem.I really wish there is on more power control between 300w and 600w. Above 1200w, I really don't need 1400 or 1600 or 1800. I can use less of that and need a bit more level between 300w - 800w. The real induction range has much finer control once it is below mid.Fan is definitely loud, not too bad but it's annoying nonetheless. If the fan diameter is larger the noise would be better. Our induction range is great in this regard.In terms of fan and cooling, one more concern is a cleaning of fan and internal. There is no filter or anything so it will get dust and probably grimy with cooking oils. But with the price, and I'm using this as temporary while waiting for service, good enough for day to day for weeks use.
