I got this for myself for a birthday present. I wanted something electric to cook on when we went camping. I am so glad I got it.. It works great and it's easy to keep clean. Easy to use, it's not that heavy you can move it around easily.. definitely worth the money.

The breaker on our oven/stove top has gone out completely, and due to a couple of other, more serious issues cropping up at the same time, we won't be able to get it fixed for a few months. So, after a few weeks of "roughing it" with instant pot meals only, we decided to get a dedicated cooktop. And I wish we had ordered it as soon as the breaker went out, because this thing is fantastic! Works extremely well and does exactly what you would want a cooktop to do - cook lol.As others have stated, it's got a little plastic smell to it when you initially use it, but by the second use it was gone for us. It's also not as quick to heat as I was expecting it to be from the reviews, but I think that ultimately depends on what youre used to cooking on. For us, it's a little slow compared to our stove, but we have friends with comparable stoves to ours that lag far behind this cooktop in terms of heating speed. Regardless though, it's speed isn't too bad at all and very easy to get used to after a few uses! Especially for the price!!!The cast iron plates that transfer the heat do stay hot for a lot longer than glass or the traditional wire heating elements, so be aware of that after cooking! Usually takes about 20 minutes or so to cool to a safe touching temp from full high heat! However, imo it's the perfect trade off to not be able to drop food into the burner while cooking lol.All in all, a great cooktop! It feels great to able to properly cook in my own home again. If you have a similar situation to us, or just need a decent cooktop for travel or camping, I can't reccommend this cooktop enough!

I'd give it 4.5 - 5 if it fully heated-up faster (takes a few minutes). But, for the price, it's hard to beat for cooking smaller items - eggs, a hamburger, small steak. Doesn't rwally have the heat output/capacity for cooking larger skillet meals.

Excellent quality. Looks great. Works great. Fast delivery.

I really appreciate the versatility this single burner adds to my cooking routine. As a truck driver, I love it because it has made it easy for me to cook without the need for gas—no more worrying about finding a gas source or dealing with fumes. The 1000W power heats up quickly and the 7.25-inch cast iron hot plate heats evenly, making cooking efficient and convenient. The 5-level temperature control allows me to easily adjust the heat for different dishes, and the compact size makes it perfect for small spaces or when I’m on the go.The stainless steel base is stylish and easy to clean, which makes cleanup a breeze after cooking. It feels well-built and durable, and I believe it will last a long time with proper care. One minor con is that the power cord could be a bit longer for more flexibility in placement. I used it with an extension cord to give myself some extra reach and to keep it safely away from walls and other surfaces. Overall, this cooktop is a great addition to my kitchen or outdoor setup—efficient, reliable, and easy to use. It’s been a game-changer for me on the road!

I really like this burner. It's sleek, very small foot print with a 7"~ burner. The disk I assume is cast iron. Even at full blast I was unable to get a rolling boil with a 8" pan with 2" of water in belly. I was hoping to use as a wok flame, but no chance. For sauces, it is awesome. The price is so inexpensive, it's perfect for sauces, but don't expect to stiry fry, uhh, anything, no how, no way. I'd send it back knowing its weakness, that weakness is the cast disk on top. A coil would do much better. I love how slim it is, so it's no my sauce pan.FYI, I put a trigger temp guage on it, on it's plate it will hit 600 degrees, but carote granite, t-fal (anodized), and cuisine art stainless, no boil, put in some oil on cuisine art stainless she boils water, barely. Maybe a smile, but never anything more.You want a sauce pan, she's perfect, but if you want to reduce to sauce or hard boil, just isn't gonna happen. I will keep her but for slow simmer sauce. I really wanted a harder hitter, but well its less than 20 bones, so, yeah, there is that.Fit and finish is sweet, well made, even if it is China. Luck and care,

Works great heats up the food just perfect. I used a a Hot Plate like this to boil a whole 25 lb turkey one day and a huge pot, came out great

It's a pretty good warmer. Works well. The thing I don't like about it is that the buttons are so sensitive that have to unplug it after each use or else it turns on if my hand gets anywhere close to the buttons. Overall it's good though. I still prefer my ol timey non fancy one that has an on/off switch that actually clicks instead of the hyper sensitive touch buttons on this one. Just my preference. Looks nice, appears durable, very easy to use but safety is questionable since it turns on when I don't mean to turn it on.
