I tested it
Portable · Single burner
AAOBOSI 1800W
The AAOBOSI is slim and compact, and it was the quietest full-power burner I tested. At our hot pot night, I could still hear my kids talking over it.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you want a slim, quiet burner that stores anywhere. Skip it if you simmer delicate sauces often.
My test results
1 quart boiled in 4 minutes and 38 seconds; simmer drifted about 8°F.

Pros and cons

- It’s a newer brand with a shorter track record.
My notes
The AAOBOSI is slim and compact, and it was the quietest full-power
burner I tested. At our hot pot night, I could still hear my kids
talking over it. It boiled water almost as fast as the Duxtop. Where it
fell behind was low heat: on the lowest settings it switched on and off,
so very gentle simmers wandered.
