Side by Side Comparison of: Stanco vs Waring

Perfect fit for my GE range. They aren't the highest quality of metal, but I didn't really care. I was moving out of an apartment and didn't feel like trying to clean the old ones. These fit perfectly and look very shiny...the apartment manager was extremely slow and shiny things made her happy, so there were no problems at all.

I was a little worried about these fitting my stove--they were not ones that said they were appropriate for my model. But they fit perfectly, and they are much better than the ones I had. These have a bit of a texture, so they are not as shiny as the old ones. And I think these will clean up better. Plus, the little notch actually does lock the elements in place so they are not sticking up unevenly. I'm so glad I found these!

These fit my GE Spectra Electric Stove perfectly. They replaced the GE Part #'s I needed WB31T10010 (6") & WB31T10011 (8') and, of course, were much cheaper than ordering from GE. As pictured, the drip pans have one notch for the burner leg directly across from the hole that the burner plug goes through (when reading the reviews before I ordered, this seemed to be an issue for some). The quality of these are fantastic! Much heavier than the ones that originally came with the stove. The burners sit flat in the drip pans with no problems. I'm very happy with this purchase & my stove looks new again!

These are the best reflector bowls I have purchased for my stovetop. They are heavy duty and do not feel flimsy. I have purchased some universal bowls before, but they seemed fit very loosely. I saw these and thought I would try them.I have a teenage boy that likes to cook and so stuff falls under the burners all the time. These are easy to clean after a messy adventure with the boy. They have kept their original shine.Another issue I had with other bowls was that the burners did not sit flush and had a slant. The burners fit perfectly in these. There is an amazing difference in the way these performed relative to the bowls in the past. I would recommend these bowls.

I bought these because they were the only ones that had 3 slots showing in the bowls and didn't cost an arm and leg. I was worried they wouldn't fit based on other reviews but guess I am one of the lucky ones as they fit perfectly. My stove is a Frigidaire about 15 yrs old or older (I rent so I don't know actual age). Oh, as I type this, I've only tried the larger ones first so don't know if smaller ones fit. I also inserted foil protector inserts after plugging in the burners. Still fits great.

By far one of the best items for the price I have ever purchased on Amazon. These lines are a heavy gauge metal and though I'm not sure exactly what it is it's at least twice that of the lines that came with the stove. I purchased the GE/Hotpoint porcelain ones.Speaking of those that came with the stove... they were a polished aluminum that stained easily and were very difficult to clean. The last straw with my original inferior liners was when we used a large pressure cooker on the stove and the liners burned to the point that they couldn't be cleaned... they were in shades of black & blue on both sides. Since they were silver in color the stove top then looked terrible and the burning would have come from the use of any large or oversized pot. The stove was not a cheapie and I'd expect the liners to hold up better but I was wrong and since the liners had to be replaced... or covered in foil for eternity... I opted to try these and I'm glad I did. These also sit in place and do not move around!These are not only black but they are also enameled and much easier to clean. Since the stove is white with a black door and control panel these look great and enhance the look of the stove. Since they're black every speck of crud that falls isn't very noticeable and I can stop being as anal retentive about cleaning. The only drawback to them is that they transfer the heat and get very hot... much more than the original ones... and that heat will transfer to the range top. I wouldn't call them "Reflector Bowls" because they don't reflect as much heat as they absorb.Lastly, these lines also only accommodate one set of alignment tabs so if your stove elements require three of those alignment slits in the liner then these won't work... as another reviewer point out. However, the description does state they have a locking notch and not three locking notches. If you don't have a GE or Hotpoint they perhaps the Universal is what you need.

Heats evenly, has a thermostat to keep the heat at an even temperature and one large 7.5" burner and a smaller 6" burner which suits my needs. It's light years beyond my old "fire the middle" gas burner. It's heavy duty and easy to clean.

Pros:-Solid construction; very durable-Sufficiently heavy-Stays in place-Steady heat delivery-Cleans easily-AttractiveCons:-Heat appears to be on/off-Running both burners slows heat up considerably-Not for very wide potsThis is an excellent product with the understanding that it is designed for mobile applications and is not a full-on replacement for a home range. The unit has held up, done everything that I needed and never caused be to worry.

I have owned this double burner stove for one year.I store this on my backyard facing balcony and use it almost daily for cooking outside. It has exceeded my expectations due to the low price point. I would have paid twice the amount if I knew it was this good. The burner ring heats pervasively and is consistent with the 0 to 5 setting. However, the "5" setting is extremely hot and I rarely use it.A minor difficulty is keeping the burner rings and brushed metal base clean without concerns of damaging or scratching it. I suggest to follow manufacturer instructions.

So far it works. It cleans up decently. ~ The problem is my family cooks pasta with a lid, so it always boils over. Check back in a year or two and see if the Cast iron starts flaking off in Big Chips, as happened with a different of the same.At least now the ring around the burner should not rust, even if the burner does. Plus on every single stove i've owned all my life, i come home to a broken knob on the range.I have hope for these. They seem long enough, that the arm inside should not have so small a bite as to snap a plastic edge.Either Way is is a good price, and currently the best table top electric range i could find. What i really want is a sealed glass table top electric range. Until they sell those, I am stuck with these.

My wife and I live in an apartment without a stove. Given our past experiences with burners, I thought it would be impossible to get a reliable burner for less than 300 or 400 hundred dollars. When I stumbled on this for a fraction of that cost, I thought it was worth a shot. It has not let me down.We use the Waring Countertop Double Burner on almost daily basis as our primary cooktop. It’s one of the more reliable electric burners I have used, even compared to full sized stovetops. The burners get hot quickly. With the large metal plate at 1300 watts, and the smaller metal plate at 500 watts both burners can boil water without a problem, though the smaller burner obviously takes a little bit longer. The surface of both burners heats evenly, even at the edges.The unit is well designed. It’s not that heavy but it feels really sturdy. The legs it stands on are steady and nonslip rubber. Also, the plates themselves are more slip resistant than I’ve seen with other electric burners. There is also no scratchy metal noise that I find often happens with metal coil plates. The size of the plates is a very appropriate diameter for most pots and pans, but they are too close together to have two large pots or pans. However, it will fit a large pan and a smaller pan (see the photo I added to the customer images). The temperature controls work great. Also, this may seem like an obvious thing to put on a burner, but the “on” light is a nice feature. I’ve had other burners that have no indicator which seems dangerous.The unit is easy to clean off with a damp paper towel or sponge. The burners are sealed so as to not allow any residue into the unit, which is nice given that our last portable burner could never get cleaned because of its metal coil design.Overall a top quality burner and believe I’ve made my last purchase for a burner in this stove-less apartment.

I am renting for a few months and decided not to spend $450 to install a gas line for my stove. I selected this one after reading tons of reviews. I can echo many of the positive remarks made by others- it boils a large pot of water (from warm temp water) in 9-10 min., a smaller pot in about 5. It cooks an over medium egg to perfection. Stir frys and other high heat cooking is awesome as well. I am still adjusting to cooking on electric, but this burner seems to work perfectly for everything. The smaller burner is good for lower heat items, and is significantly less powerful, but it is great at simmering . I am sure it will come in handy even after i have a full stove again. It is also very sturdy and attractive.

They clean up great, but don't fit perfectly...don't line up with the holes on my stovetop. They lay flat though, so are ok. Not able to find another brand that is Teflon.

On my Model RB757WH5WW HOTPOINT ELECTRIC RANGE, the 6-inch trays fit perfect. The 8 inch fit good enough but have a smaller edge than the 6 inch so it doesn't cover the surrounding stove top perimeter as the 6-inch covers. When I discovered that I started out to return but changed my mind because for the price and the fact these fit good enough to serve the intended purpose I changed my mind and decided to keep them. No one is going to notice but me anyway lol.

4 stars because the "fit" is perfect for GE/Hotpoint range model #R B757B H1WH. Otherwise, I would have only given the drip bowls 2 stars, as I confused myself by expecting the drip pans to be made out of the same materials and heft as the oven lining itself which is porcelain enamel. I believe these black porcelain drip pans are the same as the originals that came with the stove. The originals rusted and wore through within less than a year just like the chrome ones that I have purchased as replacements. I don't always remember to wash and dry drip pans after each use, so that probably contributes to more rapid corrosion of the pans. However, I have paid as little as $5.00/set and as much as $15.00/set for replacement drip pans, and they still end up rusting quite rapidly. GE says not to line the drip bowls with aluminum foil so as to avoid hotspots...so there you are. I can't really fault the quality of these yet as they haven't been given time to please or disappoint, but I will keep searching for baked enamel drip pans.

These were good, but for whatever reason the bigger ones just didn't fit quite right. They are a touch too big. Still a good price! I rent so I'm not going to stress about it.

Fit nicely, look good. A tiny bit higher than my originals but since replaced all they are symmetrical. If only replacing one it may feel as if your stove is lopsided as flat surface is slightly lower than burners. But works great for me

Entirely satisfactory and perfect match for my stove top. The only surprise is the darker, more dull appearance when compared to the shiny chrome pans that were being replaced by these new ones.

I didn't rate this double burner with 5 stars because the thermostat on the large burner prevents the large burner from achieving enough heat to really deep fry things like potatoes or to saute vegetables at a high heat. I have successfully fried fish on the large burner. The small burner is very good for heating soup. It reaches a boil, but it takes a few minutes. Overall, though, I'm happy with my purchase

Pretty good burner. It definitely takes a bit to heat up and does struggle with boiling larger pots of water. But overall, it works great for making my eggs in the morning. Never really figured out what the difference was between this one and the industrial version that costs twice as much. If anyone knows, feel free to comment, I'm curious.

My Double Burner has been performing well, so far. The larger burner is useful and runs a bit on the hot side, while the smaller one can't quite keep up...slow to get things boiling or hot enough to fry and egg. This is obvious in the wattage set up, but not a huge issue. I feel that if there were a bit more balance between the two I'd have the perfect burner at the best price. That being said, it works well enough for what I need and so far has not failed, which in today's market shouldn't be a concern, but tends to be more often than not. I use it every day and run it long to produce low, slow cooked sauces and soups and keep things hot for an hour or two around dinner times. If it lasts more than a year, I'd bump the star rating up a notch and could state that I'd buy one again.

it takes awhile to adjust to the 'personality' of this double burner, - but i like it alot! the only difference between it an other burners, is time.It's weighty enough to stay in place, easy to clean, and in particular, i love the two different wattages of the burners - the 'on' lights - and the burner covers (steel)... (not mess down under a burner!). Because of the steel covers, you can turn off the power sooner than other types of stoves as it stays warmer longer. It's an excellent 'warmer' as well. Recommend it to folks who like a steady heat stove, vs something just hot and fast.

A VERY powerful burner. Boils water in under 5 minutes. Works fantastic. My only gripe is that once it gets hot, it's VERY difficult to cool the stove back down to a lower temperature, so it's very easy to burn food or overcook it. I recommend only cooking one thing at a time. Once you get something to the right temperature on the bigger burner and you have to turn it down to simmer it, put it on the smaller burner if it fits and put it on low, if that makes sense. Aside from that, I really like this a lot. Works great, and I've had no issues so far.

Needing to outfit a kitchen in which we (yes, on purpose) turned off the gas and hence the gas range, we turned to this burner unit for our "stovetop" setup, about two years ago.Pros: Flat burners, not coil, are easier to clean up than a coil range. Large burner has plenty of power. Ours had no weird new plastic smells. Can clean burners and around burners with steel wool.Cons: Small burner, at least on ours, runs much cooler than the large burner, so that a 2.5 on the large burner and a 2.5 on the small burner aren't the same temperature. Burners will rust if you leave them damp (but comes off with steel wool). Would definitely buy again if I could get the same quality.On the large burner, I use 2.5 for bringing to a boil for rice etc., then turn down to more like 1. On the small burner, I need to use the higher settings to get much done.SO, when I went to buy backups later I bought 2 large burners . . . however, the two separate large burners DO smell like plastic when you run them. Manufactured later. I hope it was a fluke. It has not yet burned off. Waring, please monitor your plastic quality . . . it does make a difference . . . Plastic/vinyl smells can be very bad for people . . . would gladly pay an extra 50 cents to keep the quality up!

Not a great fit for my stove top but okay. Will get something else next time I replace the pans.

Says it fits hot point. Small rings do but big rings do not. I bought these as replacements and was disappointed.

The small burners fit perfect but the larger ones dont fit right wich makes the whole burner tilt slightly. Odd fit.

They are at least 10% smaller than the porcelain coated ones they replace. They very nearly didn't fit the surface holes for my older Hotpoint, The material is also more lightweight than I was expecting. I may revisit this review after some use depending on the performance of the material in high heat, etc.

Bought these for my mother to replace the drip pans on her electric range that needed a bit more love than scouring would handle. I wish I checked the range first to see if I really needed all the notches because I didn't - but that's the smallest issue. Everything did fit properly though. They look shiny and nice, don't get me wrong, but they don't scream quality. While I'm happy that she has new shiny drip pans on her stove, I wish I spent a bit more to get her something a bit higher quality.

Reflector bowls look great but the larger ones don't fit my Kenmore range well as they are too small and slide around. Recently I found out there are two styles of drip pans - styles "A" and "B". The larger pans for style "A" are smaller than the style "B" ones. Style "B" ranges include Kenmore, GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Roper, Moffat, Monogram, and Profile. If you have any of these ranges look for style "B" drip pans in the description.

It works. However, it doesn't stay hot for long. If you cook bacon you have to wait 30 minutes for the unit to cool to cook your eggs. Once the unit gets hot, it slowly loses heat until it is not hot enough to do anything. I'm sure it is a safety feature, but I am disappointed in the performance. It boils water quickly. It heats soup well. As long as you cook something that is cooked quick, you won't be disappointed.

Had to set up a temporary kitchen and this mostly worked. If using both burners, either one or the other can take awhile to get hot. For example, as I was sauteing on the larger burner, the smaller one would only get hot enough to simmer water -- not the full on boil needed for pasta -- at the highest setting on the dial. But, with a little juggling the burners worked for most of the simple meals that I needed to prepare at the time.

It is supposed to be "pro", but it's not. The temperature at each setting is totally unstable. If you try to cook soup and put on heat level 3, it starts to go through periods of high heat, when soup is boiling out, followed by periods of low heat, when soup does not boil at all. There must be some feedback controller inside which is wildly offset. It's really hard to use when you need steady heat like for frying pancakes.

The Waring DB60 came in good time, but its the worst hot plate I have ever owned, the temp controls is pure junk, the temp varies about 50% all the time, one minute at same setting ( say 3 ) its to hot, burns things, next minute its to cold your standing there waiting for it to warm back up so you can get the eggs done. I should send it back but don't want and other one if their all like this.

We are remodeling our kitchen and this has been a nice addition to the Foreman grill as a means to prepare food. My only complaint is the heat up time and the closeness of the burners. It I am used to gas, so this may be normal for electric burners. It gets very hot once on, so boiling pasta is not a problem. This would be great for car camping where electricity is available(I wouldn't leave it outside since it is electric though), if you need additional burners when preparing food at holidays, or for keeping food warm in a buffet. It is fairly attractive and neat looking having a low profile and made of stainless steel. This can accomodate two medium or a medium and small pot next to each other. It cannot fit a large sauté pan and other pot however. Overall would recommend.

We got this to fill a short-term need while we were having our kitchen remodeled. We used it for about seven weeks, mainly for daily stuff like making oatmeal and heating soup. We were successful in doing those things, but found some oddities we had to work around.One of the burners (I'll call it Burner A) took a very long time to heat up and boil water/heat soup--20 minutes or more!The other burner (Burner B) heated up and boiled water pretty quickly, but then when we would turn it down, the burner would stay too hot for simmering, and would not stabilize at a lower temp for a long time--it stayed much hotter than was useful, and the experience was very different from what happens when we turned down a burner-element on our old electric stove.To workaround these problems, we would start the oatmeal on the "fast-hot" burner (Burner B), then move it over to the slower burner (Burner A), which did quite well and keeping the temperature at a low level and even. But because of how long Burner A took to heat up, we'd turn that burner on when we started the water boiling on the Burner B, and it would get to simmer heat level at about the right time.The burners also got a little water on them just from pots that were still damp, but they rusted very quickly. Just a thin layer and it could be wiped off. Not a huge deal but not what I expected.Overall, this worked for us, but it was more like having one working burner than having a two-burner "stove." If you really need two burners, I'd look elsewhere.

These look nice, but the fit is goofy and causes the coils to sit at an angle. This requires adjusting with every use and still, the coils are at a slant, not good for cooking. Would not buy again.

Did not fit my Hotpoint stove. The diameter of these is 8.5" from lip to lip. My stove is only 8.25" The style B's are about the same, so those don't help either. Yargh.Update: Not sure if it helps anyone, but I finally found a drip pan that fit my Hotpoint stove...the Non-GE/Non-Hotpoint drip pans fit perfectly. Who knew. I just picked them up at Home Depot with a tape measure in hand. They had big bold letters saying they won't work with GEs and Hotpoints, but ironically it was the only one that did.I think here on Amazon the only thing you can be sure of is that the NONE of the GE/Hotpoint compatible ones will work if you have a Hotpoint with an 8.25" diameter. You'll specifically need to try the ones that say they don't fit GE/Hotpoints. What a nightmare.

Ordered the universal chrome, but got the GE/Hotpoint chrome. The chrome looks more like a brushed steel and the 2 larger pans had only 1 slot for the burner's tines instead of the 3 in the picture. I had already opened the package and installed the smaller pans. So I had to bend 2 of the tines on the larger burners to fit the pans.. Product did not match the picture provided. Frustrating and annoying

NOT universal in notch placement. Fits crooked, i should have shopped around a bit more.

Supposedly these were universal, but only the large covers fit in the Roper stove and not the smaller ones.

Slide around a lot, seems like I am always re-positioning them in the hole. Will not buy these again.

This is the second burner, we returned the first one because the lights stopped working. After one use the new one did the same thing. It still heats but not very well.

The smaller pan cannot cook anything, it's pretty useless if you ask me, I should have gone with a single pan

I was disappointed that after only a few months of use (where it's literally once or twice a week), that the large left burner stopped working. "Luckily" it's still under the manufacturer's warranty which is TERRIBLE. They ask you to pay for shipping and send it out to their warehouse for inspection and to possibly repair or replace. So yeah, I have to pay for the defect. Not sticking to Waring again after this. It's a shame I paid for a third party warranty for another 3 years after this.

I'll give it two starts because it was working fine for about four months, after that the big burner stopped working and the only way to fix it is paying for shipping it back to manufacturer and they probably will fix it for you.

I'm very disappointed in this product. Waring is a decent brand name and the product looks and feels well made. However the one thing I have against it is that it takes the burner, no matter which one, forever to heat up enough to be of use. I'm not sure if this is a defective one or standard for this model. I'm returning it.

I've been using this product for over a year as my main stove top cooking device. After the first 8 months the large plate stopped heating to full capacity.The warranty was expired because it had been over two years since the date on the product was stamped, even though I had only had it for 8 months... so out of luck there. A worthless warranty in my mind.I also have had to bring water to boiling in my coffee pot then transfer it to the burner. If you don't do this it is much worse than waiting for a watched pot to boil... it is infuriating!But because all else out there looks not so hot either, I purchased another one. This time it only took 3 months for the large burner to not fully heat to capacity.Would I buy it again? I hope not. We should be in our new house soon with a real stove top

I was so excited to get these since they have a non stick coat. The small ones fit perfect but larger ones do not. they move around when you put them on and when you try to put the elements on the holes do not line up. I will have to look somewhere else.

The description says that this is not sticky, but every time you use it, it is possible to damage the surface coating if you do not clean up the sticky material every time. Very difficult to clean up

The big ones fit my stove a bit big even though my stove was listed on the ones it would fit.

it was not clear that it was 2 small and 2 big and did not match B replacement. sorry i misunderstood but description was misleading.and will never buy again.

There were only one hole to accommodate the one of three eye prongs to seat properly. I returned this for a full refund.

These were a half an inch too big and a little on the flimsy side. I purchased them PRIME, but when I attempted to return them, they charged me almost $8 for shipping. What a joke.

worked well for 15 months...warranty is 1 year...ofcourse thats $70 bucks a year to use a hot plate!!!!

The light on my burner does not work. One of the downsides to buying on Amazon is after 30 days they don't even give you an option to return a product after 30 days. Price match from local stores is looking better and better.

Heats up enough that it might (emphasis *might*) keep something warm that is already hot. But as for cooking something, or even boiling water? Forget it!

Produced an electrical/burning smell while struggling to get a pot of water to boil. On the plus side: it looks nice.

Couldn't boil water on the left. Had to return it. It took about 15 minutes to heat the cast iron to full (green lit) heat, and then 15 minutes later couldn't boil even a quart of water.Failure at its most basic, and tested on multiple outlets/circuits.

Used for a few days and then it stopped working. I was ok with it taking longer to heat up, but from the beginning I noticed problems with the lights -- often the green "ready" light never turned on, even after being on for over an hour. Then one day it tripped a circuit breaker in the kitchen as soon as it was turned on, and after resetting the breaker, the burner was no longer working.
