This is a great little one burner hot plate. It is value priced and works well. The only reason I give this four stars instead of five is how the temperature setting works. There is not actually a low to high heat setting, but rather the knob adjusts how frequently the heating element turns on. For low settings it turns on less frequently than for high settings. This is a simple and inexpensive way to adjust heat, but it may affect cooking some things if a very low temperature is desired. It is great for boiling water and simmering a pot, but the temperature will go up and down if you want a very low temperature due to the element coming on and off. Not a big deal, but just be aware of it. Also, if you run it at the highest setting for a long while you may burn out the thermal overload sensor. These elements are common in electrically heated appliances like coffee pots and hot plates. If you do burn out the thermal overload sensor, then the hot plate won’t work until you replace it. You would need some basic skills with a soldering iron or wire crimpers and you need a new sensor, which is a type of thermal fuse and which is readily available. You probably won’t have this issue, but I did after I heated a large pot of water for a long time and I had to replace the thermal sensor. Overall, it is a good little economical hot plate. Read more

This is awesome...only that when it hits a certain heat level it shuts down for a bit, then comes back on. So I just turn up the nob a little at a time to adjust and it does make some poping sounds but that's just the heat expanding Read more

Seem to work good, only heated up a couple times but actually seem to regulate heat based on dial. Does emit a bit of a harsh burning smell when first heating so maybe let it get up to temp outside the first time Read more
