Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this with the understanding that I would return it if it didn't meet our expectations, It's a keeper!
Being in Florida, (the hurricane state) I wanted a hot plate that we can use if there is an emergency and we were living off of our generator.
Looking at all of the other products available, everyone complained about the same thing, it would either take forever or never boil water.
I tested this with a pot of water, about 4 cups worth and was immediately surprised that it brought it to a boil under five minutes.
The settings are well marked and the increments are good, even giving you a "warm" setting for buffets etc.
The unit is well made, not cheap and I hope to get years of service from it.
The only point that some people may find annoying (see other comments) is the cooling fan that will run until its cooled off.
Its a normal fan sound and I guess some people will not like it, especially if they're used to one of the cheap units that have no fan and don't boil.
The manufacturer states to place this on a heat resistant surface, so no plastic tables.
The only minus to this purchase is I wish the manufacturer would put a warning about the initial startup.
You will get a burning smell and smoke come from the rear for the first 60 seconds.
This is normal for any heating element that is new, so I would strongly recommend you do the first warmup outside somewhere dry and protected from the elements.
All in all I give this unit a 10.
