How customer reviews and ratings work

Customers say

Customers like the heat and performance of the countertop burner. For example, they mention it heats rapidly, maintains even temperature, and the increments for heat are useful. That said, they are happy with sturdiness, and ease of cleaning. Opinions are mixed on power, noise, size, and value.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

15 customers mention11 positive4 negative

Customers like the heat of the countertop burner. They say it heats rapidly, maintains even temperature, and has a good maximum heat output. The increments for heat are useful and give a decent range. The burner cools quickly and reduces heat immediately when it is lowered. It's nice having the temperature setting so you can heat soup or chili without worrying about it. The wattage and temperature modes are independent of each other.

Quiet, Durable, Easy to Control, Fast Heating

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Relatively easy to fine tune from simmer to full boil/fry (e.g. use combination of power setting and adjust temperature within each power setting), zero loud noises in use (I also have used their 6200 daily for four years with zero problems and it's fan noise is louder) using cast iron cookware by Lodge and Stainless/Aluminum from All-Clad. Customer Support: After 4-years of daily use my 6200's membrane over the on/off switch cracked. I called Athena and got a real person in the USA that sent me out, for free, a new membrane that installed in less than 2 minutes (that is customer service). Why purchase a 6500 when my 6200 still works ? I purchased the 6500 because the newer 6515 does not have features I would use enough, now that I have become use to using the 6200, to justify the added cost and the 6500 has better build quality than the 6200 and has a sloping surface to quickly drain spills past controls better. The 6500 is being phased out and wanted to make my 6200 a backup unit and, hopefully, will get many more years of great use from the more robust build of the 6500. Take care of your Max Burton (extensive experience only with the 6200 and 6500) and it will take care of you. I have recommended the Max Burton to other people and they also report zero problems with daily use for years and same basic satisfaction as myself. I think it is a strong 4.50 star unit for the under $400 price range but there is no option for that so the 5-star. I would recommend using it for a few cooking routines to learn how to use it for how you cook and you should be very happy. But everyone's mileage will vary and this is, after-all, a relatively low budget unit compared to the $900 and up single burner units. I will post follow ups if I have any negative experiences with my relatively new 6500.

Doesn't put out 1800 watts

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased both a Fissler 1500 watt CookStar Pro and the Max Burton 6500 ProChef 1800-Watt Commercial Induction Cooktop.To my surprise, the Fissler heated faster and more evenly than the Max Burton. Being an electrical engineer I put both on the test bench. While the Fissler put out the full 1500 watts, the Max Burton was only putting out 1350 - 1400 watts at the 1800 watt setting. Thinking I had a defective unit I ordered a second Max Burton 6500 ProChef 1800-Watt Commercial Induction Cooktop and returned the first. Unfortunately, the second unit performed the same as the first. It was returned. I contacted the Max Burton product manager and he had no explanation as to why 2 separate units were putting out 20 -25% less power than their stated output. My take is that either they are using a cheaper induction engine, or the quality control at their Chinese manufacturer and within Max Burton needs a major overhaul. I won't be buying any Max Burton products in the future and cannot recommend them.

Unbelievably Quick, Loud Squeal (Update 5-28-11 USE IRON Skillets NO Squel!)

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

Received this last week and it works extremely well except for a loud high pitched squeal. I have tried various cookware (induction ready) and so far for the PRICE have found Winco's line of induction ware the best to use.
I have not used cast iron or carbon steel. Will be checking that over the next few days.

Update 5-28-11
We received a second unit and used it for a Pasta station last night. Tried cast iron skillet - no noticeable squeal.

Event was a huge success and everyone commented on how fresh, well prepared and quick, meals got to them. Used Linguini and Penne with over 15 toppings. Average cooking time on previously sauteed or cooked food (all was cold)was 2 minutes done in front of clients. THEY LOVE THE SHOW!

Strongly suggest Winco RSK-6 1/2" or RSK-8" Iron Skillets that will eliminate the squeal. You do not want anything bigger than that for individual meals. Portions are more controllable, skillet weighs less and takes up less room on table. If you don't mind the high pitched squeal (most people over 50 can't hear it) then use the Winco SSFP-8NS stainless steel 8" which is lighter than the Iron Skillets. Both are available from many places including Tigerchef.com.

If you use a non-iron skillet that is induction ready, the hotter the skillet the less noise it makes.

We plan on buying at last 2 more. They are portable, well made and easily adjustable. Use 2 skillets per stove top so that as you are preparing or cooking, the machine does not shut off, otherwise the machine will beep if you lift the skillet and then turn off automatically. I may be disconnecting the beeper.

So far this is a great product, well made and well laid out.

Seemed to be a decent unit and well made, but I returned mine. It took longer to boil water on this than on the stove. I tired 3 different pans that were induction compatible. I tried boiling a gallon of water in a big pot, but after an hour, I gave up.

Disappointing to those who have a proper induction cooktop

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this to cope with the virtually useless downdraft gas range in my rental unit. I have a nice induction cooktop back home, and it has really spoiled me.

Pros: Sturdy and easy to clean. Puts out a decent amount of power for a hot plate. Heats quickly, as an induction should. Has held up well under heavy use for three months. Copes well with large pots (compared to smaller units). Seems to have a pretty powerful cooling fan, which should help with durability of the element.

Cons: The portion that heats is quite small--only the centre 6 inches or so, so browning in a big pan requires some rotation, and even so there will be some unevenness in the browning. Maximum heat output is good, not great, but that is largely just a function of the maximum amperage of a 120 volt circuit. The lowest setting is still too powerful for a slow simmer most of the time. The lower settings use cycling on and off, so there is more risk of scorching (especially given the small heating area). Cost was high relative to other units. Finally, the unit beeps loudly with each touch on the keypad. I imagine this is great in a commercial kitchen where there is a lot of ambient noise, but it is unnecessary and annoying in a home kitchen (especially in an open concept house).

Under the circumstances, I still think it was a decent purchase. But I can't wait to cook on my real induction cooktop when I get home!
