Set Alert for Product: IMUSA USA GAU-80305 Electric Single Burner 1100-Watts, Black -
From Stoveless to Satisfied: How the IMUSA Stove Saved Our Semester. As a college student, I can confidently say that the IMUSA USA GAU-80305 Electric Single Burner is a lifesaver. When my roommate and I first moved into our apartment, we quickly realized that the stove was in desperate need of repair. We were stuck with no way to cook our meals, which was a problem since neither of us wanted to live off of takeout for the entire semester.That’s when we stumbled upon this electric burner. At first, we were a bit skeptical – could something so small really cook a full meal? But we were willing to try anything at that point, so we ordered it and crossed our fingers.When the burner arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by how compact and lightweight it was. It was easy to set up and plug in, and we were ready to start cooking in no time. We decided to make pasta for our first meal, which was probably a bit ambitious for a single burner, but we were feeling optimistic.As we waited for the water to boil, we started to get a little nervous. The burner seemed to be taking longer than we expected, and we weren’t sure if it was going to be able to handle the task at hand. But just as we were about to give up hope, the burner suddenly kicked into high gear and the water started boiling rapidly.We quickly added the pasta and were amazed at how well the burner was working. It cooked the pasta evenly and quickly, and we were able to make a delicious meal in no time. We were so impressed that we even decided to make garlic bread on the burner, which turned out perfectly crispy and golden brown.Of course, there were a few hiccups along the way. At one point, we accidentally spilled some sauce on the burner, which caused it to start smoking and set off the fire alarm. It was a bit embarrassing, but we couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.We found that the burner was also great for making breakfast foods like eggs and pancakes. It heats up quickly and stays hot, so we were able to cook our meals without any issues. We even experimented with making stir-fry, which turned out surprisingly well. Of course, we had to be careful not to overload the burner, but we were able to make a tasty meal nonetheless.One thing we did notice was that the burner can get quite hot, so it’s important to be careful when handling it. We accidentally touched the side of the burner while it was on, and it was definitely hot enough to cause a burn. But as long as you use it with caution and common sense, it’s a safe and effective cooking tool.The only reason we didn’t give this electric burner a full 5 stars is that it does have a few limitations. For one, it’s not very powerful, so it can take longer to cook certain foods. We found that it works best for small meals or for heating up leftovers, but it might not be the best option if you’re cooking for a large group of people.Another limitation is that it doesn’t have temperature control. There’s only one heat setting, so you can’t adjust the temperature based on what you’re cooking. This can be a bit frustrating if you’re trying to cook something that requires precise temperature control, like candy or other confections.That being said, for the price point, the IMUSA USA GAU-80305 Electric Single Burner is a great value. It’s affordable, lightweight, and easy to use, making it a great choice for college students, campers, or anyone who needs a portable cooking solution. Plus, it provided us with plenty of laughs and memories during our semester of cooking adventures.In the end, we give the IMUSA USA GAU-80305 Electric Single Burner a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It’s not perfect – it can be a bit finicky at times, and it’s not ideal for cooking large meals – but it’s a great solution for small spaces and temporary situations like ours. Plus, it provided us with some much-needed entertainment during an otherwise stressful time.

Perfect for cooking outside. I put this on the side of my grill to fry foods outside so the house doesn’t stink. Works great and holds up to the weather. I wouldn’t recommend leaving it out in the rain as I did accidentally once, but it still works.
Initially worked great. It worked great initially. Had it less than two weeks and used it a couple of times. It seems to shut itself off when on high (light shuts off and no longer heats). You have to push the knob in and shut off and turn back on to get it to come back on. Frustrating.
Decent Burner. The only thing I don’t like about this burner is that when set on full blast, sometimes the thermostat turns it off so you have to wait for it to come back on. I think it is some sort of safety feature. For the price, I can tolerate it.
Update: Junk. Lasted 2 weeks and quit cold. I am on my 4th one of these Imusa 1100 watt single burners. The longevity has gone downhill considerably over time. They all look the same, externally, but buyer beware. My previous units lasted about 7 years of thrice daily use, then 3 years, then 8 months. This is good for heating water for tea, scrambling eggs for two, some French toast, heating spaghetti sauce, making hard boiled eggs and smallish tasks. You WILL NOT be able to bring more than 3 quarts of water to boil because the max heat setting is limited and clicks on and off, preventing a steady high heat. The unit will serve you well for maybe moderate usage and then either the red pilot light will conk, but the coil will still heat, or the whole thing will just quit working without warning, probably when you need it most. Based on my and friends’ recent experience, this may last you 6 months which equates to a rental of about 9 cents a day. You can decide for yourself if it’s worth it. In the future, I may try a different, slightly more expensive brand.Update 3/28/2024: Once reliable brand now utter junk. New one (number 5) quit cold after 2 weeks, possibly 40 total uses tops. Will not buy this brand again!
Have purchased twice – first one lasted 3 years ! no complaints :D. I recently purchased the Hookah Charcoal Burner 1100-Watts in Black, and it has completely transformed my hookah sessions. This powerful burner heats coals incredibly fast, cutting down the preparation time significantly. Within minutes, my coals are perfectly heated and ready to use, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup every time.The 1100-watt power output is truly impressive, providing consistent and even heat that gets the job done quickly without any hassle. This has allowed me to spend more time enjoying the hookah experience with friends and family rather than waiting around for the coals to heat up.What I particularly love about this hookah charcoal burner is its sleek and sturdy design. The black finish adds a touch of elegance to my hookah setup, and the compact size makes it easy to store and transport. The durable construction gives me confidence that it will last for a long time. Additionally, the burner is incredibly easy to use, with a simple on/off switch and a heat-resistant handle that ensures safe operation. Overall, this hookah charcoal burner has exceeded my expectations in every way, making it an indispensable part of my hookah routine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to heat their coals quickly and effortlessly.

Nice. Very good product. These type of burners do not last forever. But the price is fairly decent. It is easy to use. It also serves the purpose we need it for.
Died after just one use. It worked for about two hours and then just died – no red light / no heat.Meanwhile my other similar sized cheap electric burner I bought from Menards over ten years ago is still going strong after years of abuse….sigh!Update – I loosened the single nut on the bottom and opened it up to discover that the 142 degree celsius (287.6 F) thermal fuse was blown. I bought a ten pack for about $6 and replaced it and it started working again.The application I am using it for is not outrageous – I need it to boil a large 10 quart pot of liquid sitting on top of a concrete step at the back of my garage in about 50 degree weather. Point being – the concrete and cool ambient temps will easily dissipate any excessive heat build up.On medium it stayed working for an hour but wouldn’t boil it so I turned it up to max and it quickly blew the fuse again.My guess is that they are either choosing the lower temp rating for fire safety risk or the position of the fuse being tucked next to the side is the cause for it being useless for my application.At least I confirmed the fix for anyone who wants to repair it themselves….
Great burner. I purchased a few of these for some friends overseas and they worked great. I was going to order more but the price on product went up over 5 bucks…no thank you!

Nice. Very good product. These type of burners do not last forever. But the price is fairly decent. It is easy to use. It also serves the purpose we need it for.
Good. Looks ok, it gets hot, it cookcs pretty well, easy to clean, it’s good use.
Died after just one use. It worked for about two hours and then just died – no red light / no heat.Meanwhile my other similar sized cheap electric burner I bought from Menards over ten years ago is still going strong after years of abuse….sigh!Update – I loosened the single nut on the bottom and opened it up to discover that the 142 degree celsius (287.6 F) thermal fuse was blown. I bought a ten pack for about $6 and replaced it and it started working again.The application I am using it for is not outrageous – I need it to boil a large 10 quart pot of liquid sitting on top of a concrete step at the back of my garage in about 50 degree weather. Point being – the concrete and cool ambient temps will easily dissipate any excessive heat build up.On medium it stayed working for an hour but wouldn’t boil it so I turned it up to max and it quickly blew the fuse again.My guess is that they are either choosing the lower temp rating for fire safety risk or the position of the fuse being tucked next to the side is the cause for it being useless for my application.At least I confirmed the fix for anyone who wants to repair it themselves….
Efficient. This unit heats quickly and gets the job done. I would definitely recommend getting it.
Great burner. I purchased a few of these for some friends overseas and they worked great. I was going to order more but the price on product went up over 5 bucks…no thank you!
