Product ReviewsMaxim 2400W Twin Portable Electric Cooktop Stove Hot Plate Cooker Caravan HP2

works well

Works well, we bought this to replace a Tiffany that lasted 7 years. I hope this lasts as long! There's an ugly screw head at the upper rear of unit that makes the cooker look a little unfinished. Manufacturer could have devised a hidden clip but I'm just being picky. Very compact unit, fits in tight places, ideal for caravan or spare kitchen cooker when the gas runs out.Read full review...

Maybe I just got a bad one! Previous unit lasted about two years before packing it in!

The cover plates on control knobs were loose in the box and won’t stay in they just fall out if inserted in centre of the knob but this does not effect the operation of the unit. The left knob is quite firm to turn I have only used the bigger plate on the left a few times however the no’s on the knob have almost worn off and I have only ever wiped the unit with a damp sponge at this stage. I have not needed to use any spray cleaners as I have not used it much yet ! I did have one of these units previously for a couple of years before the large plate went just recently which is why I had no problem ordering the same brand as for the cost I had been fairly happy with my original purchase but not looking to good so far with this unit as I will have to guess heating because I can’t see the no’s on dial anymore!Read full review...

Reasonable cheap buy

A good buy for 46 dollars, that is what I paid for it. However heat is unevenly distributed across hot plates.

For example using an infra red thermometer, the upper part of the hot plate differed to the lower portion by a factor of 150 degrees on medium setting, much greater on higher temperatures.

Even cooking would be difficult, if you don't frequently move the food.Read full review...

Works well, longevity unknown though

Didn't get a lot of time to test, but used 3 times and worked just fine. It's for a holiday unit. Heated well and cooked various dishes without any issue, but quality of cooker feels quite tinny so time will tell if it lasts long. Fingers crossed!Read full review...

takes up very little room. Easy to clean. Uncomplicated and easy to use.

This is easy to clean and its very slim and easy to transport as my husband takes it with him on jobs when he has to stay in motels. This enables him to cook meals for himself instead of living off restaurant food allt the time.Read full review...

Maxim dual portable hotplate

Bought this item recently to have outside in the patio at family events due to it's portability and love it! It heats up quickly and maintains the food on it in a warmed state quite easily! The stainless steel construction is a breeze to wipe down and keep clean. The indicator lights are easy to see and the knobs are easy to access being at the front of the unit! The unit is quite solidly built so can see this lasting for quite some years. The four rubber non slip feet have a good grip on a table or counter top so no problems with any accidents occurring due to the unit slipping or moving with hot food on top.Read full review...

Twin hot plate electric cooker

Works well when heated up, hot plates difficult to clean due to fine grooves, rest is easy clean. Overall, it does the job for me, so I am relatively happy with the product.

Failed within 6 months

I purchased this stove early this year and was using it as an outdoor stove in a shared house when the main stove is busy. However, it didn’t even last over 6 months!! Please do not buy this. I don’t know how to even claim for warranty!! If you want to do yourself a favour go to Kmart and buy a similar one for half the price and atleast you know you can walk in into Kmart and they will look after you! Read full review...
