Home > Consumer Reviews > Waring Pro DB60 Portable Double Burner

This portable burner is very well made. Unlike my previous portable burner, this one is easy to keep clean. The temperature controls also work much better than the first one I tried. I have been using it on a regular basis for about 3 months.

I've found the Waring Pro DB60 to be a solid double burner. I like the simple design with cast iron plates makes for easy clean up. The temperature control seems faster than other burners i've used- when turning down from 5 to 2 (high to simmer) The Waring cost more than other double electric burners on the market, but from the not convincing reviews of the others, and from using the Waring every day for several weeks i think it is definitely worth it.

I purchased the burner for my 93 year old father, who moved into our remodeled lower level. He's a tough customer, but loves the burner - says it is very accurate and easy to use. Easy cleanup too.

I can't begin to say how THRILLED I am with this unit.It is, simply, the BEST, PROFESSIONAL, COMMERCIAL QUALITY unit you can find. I've had other, non-professional units--which never heat hot enough--which causes sticking-- and soon stop working. The extra $$ for this unit are worth every penny.I had given up on others-- and this was my last resort. These burners heat and stay HOT for even cooking and frying. I use this double burner ALL THE TIME for all types of stove cooking-- in place of of my regular stove-- which had died. I didn't want to purchase another stove now because we'll soon be moving. ( It does take a minute or so to heat up--not a fault--it's in the construction--because once it does reach
the temperature level you want--IT STAYS hot at that temperature.)This is the ONLY unit which gets hot enough to BOIL WATER and COOK PASTA --in a BIG POT, too--because large burner IS large....and QUICKLY.All the other units NEVER reach boiling temperature.This is because it's 1500. I, also, recommend this flat surface over the raised burner grids--which are hard to clean. These flat surfaces clean instantly. REAL metal-- not plastic and substitute stuff--for easy cleaning and quality appearance. When we move and have a stove, again, I know we'll continue to use this
as an extra burner . This is the ONLY unit I would recommend over all those cheapie ones--whether they cost little or a lot.I don't write reviews very often-- but just had to share and praise this one.

I gave this as a Christmas gift in 2007 to a woman who is on oxygen and had moved into a trailer that has a gas stove. She was afraid to use the stove because of the fire risk when extra oxygen is present. I had not intended to spend this much but after reading the reviews of the less expensive hot plates I decided I would rather give her something that works than spend less and leave her in danger with a less than reliable product. The Waring arrived at her place within a couple of days of my ordering it. It was packed well. She has used it at least twice a day since she got it and has had no trouble. It is easy to use. She said that it is bigger than the ones she knew about but I don't think that is really a complaint. She thanks me regularly and has never said anything negative about it.
