I purchased the Waring Commercial WDB600 in February from a wholesaler. Its now July. I'd used Cadco in the past. This was on sale, however. I gave it a try.
The burners are slightly smaller and somewhat less powerful than the Cadco cast iron burners. The time to heat up is longer. The Waring cast iron burners seem thinner and cheaper than the Cadco I had...although I never pulled it apart to look at it, so that's in the realm of speculation on my part.
So, today my wife informs me that the large burner isn't working. The power light is on, but despite not being above room temperature, the "Ready" light is illuminated and the burner won't heat up at all. It seems to be some sort of thermostat. I think its under warranty, but I've had better success with Cadco, so I think I'll just call it experience and buy some other brand. Maybe Cadco, maybe not. Not a Waring though. I bought a coffee urn made by Waring that I thoroughly disliked. In this case, its two strikes and Waring's out.
It worked OK for the five months it did work. There is no excuse for selling a product that dies after a few months. Add to that it is supposed to be a "commercial" model, and I won't risk buying anything from Waring again.

I have been using this Waring double burner for a month now. It performs very well. I like the fact that is portable, so it is easy to put away after use, and it does not take space on the kitchen counter.It is well built, sturdy, so I am sure it will be durable.

Although we've only had this a short while, we really like it.For a double-burner, it's a convenient size, it's easy to clean, and the controls are simple one dial per burner.
It appears to be well-made, as you'd expect from Waring, and so far it's worked out really well for the dishes we've cooked using it (e.g. pasta, soup).
It does seem to take a little while to come up to temperature, but as long as you plan for that, it's not a problem. Also it remains quite hot for some time after you turn it off, so be very careful.
