When using both burners, one on high to boil water and one on med-hi, is there a noticeable loss of power on either burner with only having 110v?

Haven't tried using both burners yet. The power sharing system makes it sound like you only have half power available when both are used. I have a GE induction cooktop using 220V that has the same limitation.

I have not noticed any amount of power loss. I initially was concerned with this as well. So I immediately ran up both burners to 100% to see what happened. Everything worked properly, but the current draw was very high. We have a dedicated circuit breaker to feed power to the outlet this is plugged into. It didn't trip the 20 amp breaker.

We use the two burners together often and have never noticed any reduction of power or time in cooking... it is true that both burner share the power but normal cooking times and temps have never revealed this to us.

It is safe to use on a two burner glass top stove without a bridge burner between them. There is an element of truth here; if you link two power sources with a common conductor you will short out, but your burners are well insulated and this won't happen. Enjoy your pan.

Should work out fine - I checked the P43 stove manual on the Harman website and it has the following electrical information: Electrical Rating 115 VAC, 60 Hz, Start 4.2 Amps, Run 2.8 Amps - this 1000w inverter should cover that just fine - a surge of 483 watts and running 322 watts. Hope this helps

A hotplate is an electric burner so when you turn it down it doesn't immediately go from hi to med. It takes times. It really depends what you are doing. The settings on this are hi, med., lo, warm and off. Boil water on high and then turn it down to whatever. It's meant to be simple and that's what it is. If you are boiling water at 100 degrees there's either something wrong with your hotplate or you are at a very high altitude.

the unit has a 1000w and a 500w burner the one on the left is the 1000w and the one on the right is the 500w. I have never used both at same time.

I have two, they are both over a year old and I have never had a problem with them over heating. When they are boiling, I turn them off.

If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work. The new one works just fine. I use pots much larger than the diameter of the burner but also use a chef's pan and a three quart sauce pan. When using much larger pots, then entire burner heats its 'footprint' on the bottom of the pot. Usually, when a burner is not doing this, the burner itself has gone bad. So, technically I said yes to your question. However, a very large pot should not be used on this device. A very large pot holds too much water and ingredients and the weight alone will eventually cause damage to this device. I wish you the best. HJ

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.

Is this a new unit? If it is, you might consider warranty repair. If it's been in service for a while, I would look at the unit while hot water is running to see if you have plenty of flame coming from the burners. I've never had problems with the water being only warm on my unit, usually too hot.

Good question.no last couple months of its life the burners stop turning off you have to plug out to turn it off

Based on the information provided by you, I think you have two motors each of 100 Watts running on 220 v. I have been using Power Bright VC300M voltage transformer for one appliance that uses 200 Watts running on 220 V and so far there has been no issues. There is only one power outlet for step down (converting 220 v to 110 v for using other country appliances in US) and the other outlet is for step up (converting 110 v to 220 v for use of US appliances in other countries). I have never used another country's power-cord extension to the transformer and hence cannot comment on how the transformer will perform with 2 motors running on the same unit.

I use the converter for step down voltage, so I can't say with 100% certainty, but I believe you will be able to. However, a warning is issued with the transformer saying that sometimes surges may cause equipment to draw additional wattage when starting up, sometimes double or even triple the design wattage usage(same might apply for amperage). I honestly don't think you'd run across that problem though, it'd be rare. Also, I noticed with this transformer, I don't know if it needs to be done this way for step up voltage, but you must do everything in steps. You have to select the proper input on the unit, then plug in the unit, then turn on the unit(close breaker), and then plug in your output plug equipment. If you don't follow this order exactly, it'll trip the breakers in your home. It has done this several times at my apartment in Italy, but when I did it this method it never tripped. And when working properly it has a very light buzzing noise but it's not too noticable. And when working properly, all my equipment has run just fine, no problems, and I've been using up to around 1900 watts, 1100 for microwave and 800 for coffee pot at the same time. It has also powered my entertainment equipment with no issues. Hope this helps.

The answer I gave before is still true. The only thing that I would be concerned about, is that if you want to shut off one of the burners after it has been lit, you have to shutdown both of them and then restart the one burner. The burner heat adjustment doesn't really change that much, there is some visual change from high to low.

Check the stove electrical information plate. It should use no more than 1000W otherwise this unit will not work.

The machine I have is 110/115V. Seems to me that you would burn that version out on 220.

I having used it yet but I have used a model much older than this and it works perfectly. I highly doubt you have to have both burners on at the same time. In fact am confident that you don't. Iv cooked on those before and used one at a time and both if needed.
