Salton single-zone induction cooktops: compare the exact models

Choose the cooking job before the model number

Salton has several single-zone induction cooktops with overlapping wattage and control claims, but the exact model code changes what the manufacturer documents. This guide compares the reviewed ID1350, ID1948, ID1880, ID2066, ID2155, and the support-only ID1401. It is not a ranking, and the models marked reference-only below are not purchase suggestions. If you must heat two pans at once, these one-zone models do not meet that need; compare the separate double-zone ID1487 assessment instead.

Pan size and selectable output separate ID1350 from ID1948

The ID1350 is the higher-listed-output choice: its page and booklet describe one zone, a 300–1,800 W power range, eight power choices, eight temperature settings from 140–465°F, and a three-hour timer. Its manual limits cookware diameter to 4.75–8 inches and says household use only. That narrower top-end pan limit matters more than the 1,800 W headline if your normal skillet is larger than eight inches.

The ID1948 is listed at 1,500 W, with eight numbered Power levels, eight Temperature settings, and a three-hour countdown. Its manual gives a 4–10-inch cookware range and indoor household-use directions. It does not publish a wattage for each Power step, so a questionnaire answer that requires a specific low-watt endpoint cannot be satisfied from its numbered levels alone. In the archived manufacturer observations, ID1350's page showed in-stock on October 24, 2026, and ID1948's exact page showed in-stock on October 25; those dated displays are not stock guarantees.

Both manuals have a separate Temperature mode, but neither model has the wired food probe documented for ID1880. A setpoint on the cooktop is not a reading of food temperature. The separate ID1401 manual reference describes a similar one-zone, 1,800 W / eight-step layout and the same 4.75–8-inch cookware range, but the exact ID1401 record has no current U.S. sales offer. Do not treat it as a replacement or alias for the ID1350 simply because some documented features overlap.

Choose ID1880 when the probe changes your routine

The ID1880 is a 1,500 W single burner with a wired probe. Its documented Check and Hold operations can check a food target or maintain a chosen temperature; the probe Hold limit is up to eight hours, while the ordinary countdown timer is three hours. That distinction matters if you need an internal food reading or a longer probe-controlled hold: the long probe mode does not turn the general timer into an eight-hour timer. The product page and the Cooktops collection disagreed about availability in the recorded October 24 snapshot, so confirm the exact ID1880 offer rather than assuming either signal is current. Probe, Pause, Lock, and Keep Warm are separate conveniences; none provides a second cooking zone.

Treat ID2066's manual bridge and ID2155's stock status separately

The ID2066 page documents ten temperature settings, a 300–1,500 W Power range, and a three-hour auto-off timer. But the manual-download app returned a booklet whose cover says ID2066A for a request tied to the exact ID2066 product and variant. Salton has not explained the suffix. Until it does, the page-backed range is useful, but the returned booklet's plug, voltage, pause/lock controls, outdoor instructions, and pan-size limits are not assigned to retail ID2066. The page displayed the exact item in stock on October 25, 2026; availability may change.

The ID2155 is the feature-led reference: its exact listing and booklet describe Pause, Lock, and a separate Keep Warm function, alongside a three-hour timer. Its product page displayed Sold Out on October 25, 2026, so it remains an assessed reference rather than an eligible purchase match. If an essential Pause or Keep Warm requirement matters, ID1880 is the documented current-reference alternative in this family, but its own listing-versus-collection stock conflict should be checked before shopping.

Let the answers change the shortlist

• For a two-pan essential, exclude every single-zone model here; ID1487 is a separate double-zone design with its own limits.
• For a magnetic pan with a 9-inch base, the manuals support ID1948 and ID1880's 4–10-inch cookware range, not ID1350 or ID1401's 4.75–8-inch range. ID2066's exact retail pan limit remains unknown; unknown is not a fit.
• For an included food probe, ID1880 is the documented option among these models. A Temperature mode on another cooktop does not establish probe support.
• For an exact plug subtype, circuit rule, or outdoor-use requirement, consult the exact model instructions and rating plate. Do not transfer those details across Salton codes; ID2066 is especially unresolved because of the ID2066A booklet cover.
• For an essential timer longer than three hours, distinguish the ID1880 probe Hold operation from its three-hour cook timer. The other models' timer claims do not establish permission for unattended cooking.

Check the exact code, not just the product name

Before buying or replacing a unit, match the retail model code to its own page, manual, and supplied accessories. Salton's manual index lists several similarly named cooktops; a shared brand, glass surface, or feature phrase is not evidence that their operating limits are interchangeable. See the individual ID1350, ID1948, ID1880, ID2066, and ID2155 records before relying on any date-sensitive offer or specification.
