Waste of money..... January 5, 2007
This single burner lasted almost 8 weeks until it completely stopped working. It took a long, long time to heat up and I wished I had returned it after using it only a week. Don't bother.

cannot boil water; useless August 20, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This does not get hot enough to boil water (no matter how long I leave it on). Makes it useless. Why bother with a burner if only possible heat setting is "low" and "lower"?

Some customers found that it worked initially, before developing its problem. As to my experience: I don't have memory of mine ever working properly. I bought this a few years ago, and had it in storage, not having need for it at that time. Then I pulled it out last month, for basically its first use. No boil water. No go. It is straight to the landfill for it.

Annoying disappointment.

Great hot plate...utnil it died! March 15, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is a great hot plate for a bachelor pad or if you live somewhere without a kitchen, like me! The plate size is a little big larger than most hot plates. For a hot plate, it heats up fairly quickly. The only drawback is that the surface has little ridges running from the center to the edge so if something gets spilled on the plate it's hard to clean.

This is an update six months later:
This little hot plate gave us many dinners until it died a couple of weeks ago. We had the hot plate for about six months and then it kicked the bucket. So sad. I wouldn't recommend this hot plate to anybody who will use it on a daily basis. It might be good for casual use.

Worthless Juck January 7, 2006

This product is a poorly designed piece of crap that is destined to fail from the first day you use it.

A friend had purchased this item a few months back and asked me to look at it when it died recently. (I have been repairing electrical and electronic equipment for almost 30yrs). This is a perfect example of a "throw-away" item. If more care had gone into the design and a few more dollars into producing it you might have a product that could last a few years. Neither was done. Look at how many reviews mention the item failing after only a few months... and even the positive reviewers usually have only been using it for a month or so-

Do yourself a favor and buy a commercial grade hot plate from a reputable manufacturer. You will pay more but you will likely still be using it many years from now. (Not too mention that the operation will be better also). How much "VALUE" is in a $20 hot plate when it is headed to the landfill a few months from now? It is a shame that so many people are willing to accept low quality products these days and think it is OK if it lasted a few months (note the reviews...)

Good Luck-

bad temperature controller April 22, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I'm currently having the same problem with the temperature control being stuck/not working. At first, it was just hard to turn, but now it will NOT turn off, and is permanently stuck at "level 4" heat and will not go any lower (if I push hard, it'll go higher, and I can push it back to level 4, but that's it.), so the only way I can turn it off is by unplugging it while it's still hot, which is very scary, and thus I have stopped using it after I saw sparks fly the last time I tried to unplug it :/ (and after reading other reviews about the fuse breaking, I'm especially glad I stopped using it)

Anyhow, I WILL say that it worked perfectly fine for at least a year or two, and I only paid about $30-40 or so for it, so I guess for the price, I got as much as I should have expected.
