Can an importer compare energy use from catalog wattage?
Not from that figure alone. A published input rating is not a measurement of energy used to complete your customer's cooking task. Before comparing candidates, identify the actual appliances, agree the same required result and obtain appropriately recorded measurements. A candidate that uses less energy but does not complete the agreed task has not demonstrated a better solution.
No measured energy data is presented here. This worksheet organizes buyer questions; it does not report a Yaoyuan test or establish an energy-saving claim.
Separate the catalog reference from the measured result
Watts (W) describe power; watt-hours (Wh) describe energy used over time. Keep these as different fields in the comparison. The U.S. Energy Information Administration explains the unit distinction; it does not provide test results for these Yaoyuan models.
The SC-7031 catalog record publishes 2400W and AC220–240V. Those fields help identify a sourcing direction. They do not supply energy consumed for a particular task, demonstrate constant input throughout operation or establish a result for another electrical version.
The P70 double-burner record needs an earlier decision: its public table omits a model code, wattage and voltage, while the photographed carton carries power wording and a model identity that conflicts with a separate single-burner route. That discrepancy remains unresolved. Do not choose a convenient carton number as the approved input, or compare P70 as though its identity were settled.
Keep the 2400W model-discovery page for shortlisting. Add measured task evidence only after the current sample and specification are identifiable.
Define the same purchasing task before comparing candidates
Start with the buyer's intended preparation and required outcome. Ask the supplier and suitable testing personnel to agree the cookware reference, load, starting condition, completion criterion, permitted controls and relevant operating conditions. Each candidate must be used within its instructions and the applicable evaluation method.
Record whether the question concerns one cooking zone or an authorized combination of zones. Do not compare a single-zone observation with a two-zone task and describe the difference as an appliance advantage. If the proposed configurations cannot perform the same permitted task, they need separate purchasing decisions.
The existing ceramic hob sample-approval guide remains the place for the wider heating, glass, control and sample file. The present worksheet only asks whether the task-energy records support the proposed comparison.
Complete an A/B comparison record without filling gaps with estimates
The candidate entries below are field prompts, not results. Replace them only with documented evidence; leave missing values marked “to confirm.” The final column controls whether a comparison may proceed; it is not a performance score.
| Record field | Candidate A | Candidate B | Comparison decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exact appliance | Model, sample ID, rating-label and specification revision. | The same identity fields for the other candidate. | Unresolved identity means pending evidence. |
| Required task | Cookware ID, load and agreed completion criterion. | The same requested task. | Different required outcomes mean not comparable. |
| Operating scope | Permitted settings, zone use and method reference. | Corresponding permitted scope. | Record differences; obtain review before comparing. |
| Energy record | Report ID, instrument/method, start/end energy readings and Wh or kWh units. | Corresponding evidence fields. | Missing energy measurements mean pending evidence; a W reading alone is insufficient. |
| Task result | Completion result, duration and recorded exceptions. | Corresponding result fields. | An incomplete task cannot support a favorable energy comparison. |
| Repeated observations | Trial references and variation requiring review. | Corresponding trial references. | Ask whether the evidence supports the proposed conclusion. |
| Comparison conclusion | Evidence reviewer, scope and approved wording. | The same comparison record. | Mark comparable, not comparable or pending evidence; this is not order release. |
Measurements and instrument selection belong with appropriate personnel following product instructions and the applicable method. This article provides no electrical setup procedure. Keep raw records accessible; do not present rated watts multiplied by an assumed duration as measured consumption.
Make the comparison decision explicit
Use comparable only when the reviewer has an identified pair, an equivalent permitted task, adequate measurements and a record showing the required outcome. This means the records can be considered together, not that one model is automatically preferable.
Use not comparable when confirmed differences prevent a like-for-like conclusion. Explain which condition differs instead of selecting the more attractive number. Use pending evidence when identity, method, readings or completion results are missing or unresolved.
A purchasing preference still needs the buyer's other requirements, including packing, service arrangements and destination version. Do not extend one task observation to every recipe, control setting or future production revision. This worksheet does not establish certification, a regulated efficiency classification or a general savings percentage.
Send a task-based private RFQ
Copy these six fields, marking unknowns “to confirm.” Importers, distributors, supermarket buyers and OEM/ODM brands can use them to describe the decision they need help with.
- Buyer: company, importing country and sales channel.
- Product: Ceramic hob; selected catalog references or an undecided shortlist.
- Task: intended preparation, cookware reference and required outcome.
- Version: destination plug, voltage, relevant frequency and proposed operating scope.
- Evidence: available sample records, open comparison questions and review owner.
- Order: quantity by model, packing, OEM requirements and destination port.
Yaoyuan Electric works on factory-direct wholesale projects; MOQ starts from 1000 PCS. Retail and one-piece orders are not accepted. Prices remain private. Confirm product model, quantity, country, plug, voltage, packing, OEM request and destination port for quotation. Neither a catalog reference nor this worksheet establishes stock, delivery timing or a commercial outcome.
Buyer questions
Does 2400W tell me how much electricity one cooking task uses?
No. It is a catalog power reference for the named routes, not a completed-task energy record. Obtain evidence with the actual configuration, permitted task, energy units and completion result before drawing a consumption conclusion.
Can a single-zone result represent a double-burner model?
Not on that basis alone. Identify the exact model and zone use. A different zone arrangement or combined task needs its own agreed scope; unresolved P70 source fields cannot be filled from a single-burner record.
If two records are comparable, can I advertise an energy-saving percentage?
Comparability alone does not establish a supported percentage or general retail claim. The evidence reviewer must check what the measurements actually support and the scope of any proposed wording. This worksheet contains no measured savings data or market approval.
