Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The professional double burner range from BroilKing answers the need for electric cooking anywhere that a kitchen is not an option. It offers simple operation and easy portability with its low-profile, chrome metal housing and heavy-duty 3-prong cord. Ranging from 825 to 1650 watts, the side-by-side burners heat up quickly and are individually controlled with smooth-turning front dials. Most effective with pots that match the size of the 5-1/2-inch tubular elements, the range is not ideal for giant stock pots or huge skillets. But for the everyday needs of boiling, steaming, frying, and warming, it does the job just fine. BroilKing includes a helpful safety power light and an adjustable leg for stability. The range is UL listed and backed by a two-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

I can't say I've literally tried or tested every counter-top buffet range there is, but this one's construction is clearly superior to all competitor's products. I hesitated - Broil King? Who are they? - sounds like some cheap, discount store brand, but I bought due to the all-steel construction because all the others, made largely out of plastic, seemed seriously cheesy to me. This unit is genuinely solidly built out of all metal, nicely chrome plated with nice quality controls. It works well to boot - like a good quality stove-top. You really get a full range heat control. I use mine at holiday time when my gas range is suffering from no vacancy. This will gently warm things without burning when set at low - a true test of the quality of the unit. Cheaper units "look" like they have full range controls but in fact, you get off and screech. Thanksgiving can be ruined if your mashed potatoes "warming" on your extra burner burst into flames because the "low" setting was mostly wishful thinking on the manufacturer's part. An excellent unit - a bit of an investment, but definitely worthwhile. I only use it twice a year, but will never regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars All or nothing, April 27, 2007

A concerned customer (Kansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: BroilKing PR-D1 Professional Double Burner Range (Kitchen)

I bought this for our office as a way to give our folks the ability to cook various things for lunch. It has met that goal, and it has been great to have around. I was worried that it wouldn't produce the kind of heat that a regular stove would, but it does just fine!

My one complaint and it is a significant one, is that it doesn't really have a medium heat setting. The dial covers the range but the heat it actually produces is either very, very hot, or hardly anything at all. I don't know if that is a quirk of just my unit or if that's a typical problem people face. That is a big enough flaw, to me, however, that if I bought another one, I would try a different brand.

Unit should be shipped with a little better packing. When it showed up, the one burner knob was off laying seperately in the box and that burner did not work correctly. It would not turn off. Had to take the unit apart to fix the burner knob shaft so burner would turn on and off correctly. Since doing that, both burners have been working fine. I have used it quite a bit and have had no other problems than the shipping problem. It is great value for the money.
