VEXMAECY 1800W Concave Wok Burner
The most powerful burner here, with a knob you can spin quickly mid-stir-fry. The "stir fry" button jumps straight to high heat.
My verdict
My verdict: Buy it if you want the fastest heat-up and a dial for quick changes. Skip it if you also cook in flat pans.
My test results
450°F in 1 minute and 50 seconds; fried rice very good.

My notes
The most powerful burner here, with a knob you can spin quickly mid-stir-fry. The “stir fry” button jumps straight to high heat. It reached 450°F fastest of all. The maker notes that flat pans heat more slowly on its curved surface, and my flat skillet was noticeably slower.
Some owners say the displayed setting doesn’t always match the heat; on mine, P7 and P8 felt almost the same.
