Buyers who want the flexibility of two simultaneous cooking zones without spending more than $30. It suits small households, dorm kitchens, and anyone who regularly needs to cook two things at once and does not have a full stove available.
Skip if
If you only ever cook one thing at a time, the single-burner ESB-301BF saves you $11 for the same cooking performance on one zone. Power users who need high-wattage output for demanding cooking tasks should look at induction models where wattage is clearly specified.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other air fryers, deep fryers, indoor grills, griddles and countertop cooking appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The EDB-302BF steps directly above Elite Gourmet's popular single-burner model by adding a second coil for $27.99. That price point makes it one of the most affordable ways to get two independent electric cooking zones on a countertop. Each zone operates from its own control, giving you independent heat settings for two pots or pans running simultaneously.
At nearly 19,700 reviews and a 4.4-star average, buyer satisfaction is essentially identical to what the single-burner version earns. That consistency across such a large review pool is a meaningful indicator that the double-burner format does not introduce reliability issues or performance trade-offs that disappoint buyers.
The main practical value of the EDB-302BF is workflow. Being able to boil water on one coil while warming a sauce on the other, or cooking a protein while vegetables steam simultaneously, changes the rhythm of cooking in a small kitchen. For $27.99, that added capability is straightforward value.
Performance notes
Specific wattage per burner is not listed for this model. Double-burner electric coil units at this price typically split available power between two coils, which can mean each zone runs at lower wattage than a dedicated single-burner unit. For everyday tasks like simmering or warming, this is not a meaningful limitation. For tasks requiring fast, high heat on both burners simultaneously, a higher-wattage model with clear specs per zone gives more predictable results.
What buyers say
Nearly 19,700 reviews at a 4.4-star average is strong, sustained performance in buyer feedback terms. The rating closely mirrors Elite Gourmet's single-burner model, suggesting buyers find the two-zone setup equally reliable. At this price, buyers are evaluating whether the basics are delivered well, and the data indicates they are.

Frequently asked questions
Can both burners run at full power at the same time?
Both burners can run simultaneously on a standard 120V household circuit. The total power draw when both are at high heat should stay within a 15 to 20 amp circuit's capacity, which is standard for kitchen outlets. To confirm, check that the outlet is not shared with other high-draw appliances when both burners are in use.
How much space does the EDB-302BF take up on a counter?
Exact dimensions are not listed in the available specs. As a reference, double-burner units in this class typically run 18 to 20 inches wide and around 10 inches deep. If counter space is tight, measuring your available area and comparing with the physical footprint at point of purchase is advisable.
Is this a good option for a dorm room?
Whether it is allowed in a dorm depends entirely on your institution's policies on electric cooking appliances, which vary widely. From a functional standpoint, the EDB-302BF is compact and runs on a standard outlet, making it technically suited to the space if permitted. Check your housing rules before purchasing.
