Model comparison
Max Burton #6000 vs #6200 Deluxe: what the manuals establish
The Max Burton #6000 and #6200 Deluxe are earlier one-zone induction cooktops, not two layouts of a current product line. The best evidence available for this comparison is their model-specific operating manuals and manufacturer data sheets, plus the #6200's appearance in Aervoe's 2016 household cooktop catalog. Those records are useful for identifying an existing cooker or checking a specific secondhand offer; they do not establish present stock, a current warranty, or the condition of a unit you may find.
What stays the same
Both manuals describe one flat-pan cooking zone, a 120 V/60 Hz, 15 A indoor countertop setup, and a listed peak of 1,800 W. They provide separate Power and Temperature modes: ten choices in each, with Temperature settings from 100°F to 450°F. The heat controls are discrete rather than a continuously adjustable temperature dial. Both have a countdown timer that ends at 180 minutes and switches the cooker off. Neither model adds a second burner, a wired food probe, app control or recipe stages. For someone needing two pans at once or internal-food-temperature control, the surface finish is the wrong distinction to prioritize.
The manuals also call for flat, magnetic cookware and counter clearance for airflow. The #6000 instructions give four inches around the unit; both documents warn against metal or flammable surfaces and against heating an empty pan. The hot glass and continuing cooling fan are relevant during cleanup and storage. These are plug-in indoor countertop products, not outdoor burners or hardwired built-ins.
What differs in the documentation
The clearest product difference is the shell. The #6000 is black and listed at 5 lb 12 oz; the #6200 has a silver/stainless-color outer body and is listed at 6 lb 12 oz. The archived sheets give the same 13.3 × 12.5 × 2.6-inch outside dimensions, so the #6200 is not the larger or dual-zone model that the word “Deluxe” might suggest. Choose between them only if the casing, weight or exact identity of the used unit matters to you.
There are two source conflicts worth keeping visible. Each exact manual's power table lists a 200 W first level, while its separate data sheet summarizes a 500 W lower output; consult the exact physical unit if that low setting is important. For the #6200, the manual says a four-inch minimum pan bottom, while its data sheet says at least 4.5 inches. The comparison uses 4.5 inches as the conservative matcher threshold. The #6000 manual says four inches. Both manuals recommend a 13-inch maximum pan diameter; this is a maker's recommendation, not a guarantee for every pan's outer rim or base geometry.
Package codes and the interface disk
Aervoe's archive identifies #6010 as a separate induction interface disk. The historical #6015 set is described as #6000 plus the disk, and #6050 as #6200 plus the disk. Do not assume a loose #6000 or #6200 includes that accessory. A disk may allow some non-induction cookware to be heated indirectly, but it adds a separate heated layer and the manufacturer warns that efficiency can vary. These bundle codes need their own package-specific check; the base-model reviews do not promise box contents.
Which record fits your question?
If you already have the black unit, see the #6000 assessment; if you have the silver-body model, see the #6200 assessment. The finder leaves earlier models out of current-reference results unless you opt in. That is deliberate: the archived manuals are detailed enough to compare documented controls, but not enough to treat either as a confirmed current offer. For a new purchase, use a current exact-model listing and its own manual rather than assuming a present-day one-zone cooker shares these older watt tables or pan limits.
