Product review (4 stars): Functional and affordable, though not terribly asthetically pleasing...
While I have not had good luck with this type of induction plate before, this one works as advertised and has not stopped working yet. The base is a bit boxier than I would like, but if it keeps me from buying another one for a while then I will live with that flaw. I have no way to test if it is 1800W, but like the last 1500W one, it will kick the breaker if run while using our 1200W microwave.
On the nicer side, it has timer buttons and preset buttons for various uses like frying, boiling, etc. and it has plus and minus buttons to adjust the power... whereas the previous one only had off, on, high, medium and low.
Recommended.
