Looking for an induction heater which gives you two burners in one? The Rosewill RHAI-13001 is a competitively priced model which includes both a small and medium-sized burner on a single compact unit.
In this review, I will go over the specs, features, and pros and cons so you can decide if this is the right induction cooktop for you.
Specifications
- 8 temperature settings are available ranging between 150 and 450 degrees
- Large screen LED display and touch panel
- Includes a timer you can set for up to three hours

Features
Two Burners On One Compact Appliance: One exciting feature of this cooktop is the presence of two burners, with the smaller one located inside the larger one to ensure the unit stays compact.
I have seen customers complain in the reviews for rival products that they cannot use smaller pots on their burners. With the Rosewill RHAI-13001 however, you can use a pot as small as 4” in diameter. I would say the largest pot size you can get away with is 10.5”.
Heats Up Fast for a Wide Variety of Cooking Applications: With 8 different temperature settings to choose from and a wide range between them, you can use the Rosewill RHAI-13001 for deep frying, braising, stir frying, boiling, roasting, and more.
Aesthetically Pleasing Design: This device features a polished crystal plate surface which is appealing to the eye.
Pros
- Most buyers said this device was not loud (a lot of induction heaters are) on most settings, but for certain applications, the fan can get a bit noisy.
- This is a fast, efficient device; you can get a rolling boil going within just a couple minutes. Food is heated evenly.
- This unit can accommodate both larger and smaller pots and pans than many competing models.
- Multiple buyers mentioned how pleased they were with the energy efficiency of this device.
Cons
- There is no auto-off feature on the non-programmed device, which is a common customer complaint. You can fix this by purchasing the programmed version, which includes a few handy presets.
- There may be some quality control issues; a number of buyers reported their burners stopped working after a short time period. I have been testing mine for months with no problems, however, and most customers do not report this problem.

In terms of food prep applications, the possibilities here are unlimited. Use the Rosewill RHAI-13001 to save energy, reduce heat in your kitchen, and quickly cook up a variety of delicious meals.
Conclusion
While there are some cooktops out there with higher ratings and more settings, the Rosewill RHAI-13001 makes up for its drawbacks by offering a versatile cooking surface which can handle both small and medium pots.
