500W Mini Hot Plate

I bought this to take in my camper to save propane. It's very handy and compact. It takes little longer but it gets my 6 cup coffee pot perking with no problem. Fully adjustable for any setting from off to high. The hot plate is black cast metal and transfers heat efficiently. The one down side is that the metal base gets just about as hot as the hot plate and takes quite a while to cool enough to handle. It has rubber feet to keep it off the counter but I still put it on a cutting board to protect the counter from heat. I would recommend it as long as you're aware that the base gets very hot.

I bought this in November for my summer camping. I tested it one time. It took a long time, but heated up a pan of water. I was camping for the first time last week. I was cooking some bacon and half way through, it quit. I’ve tried two more times and it doesn’t work. Waste of my money!

so far, so good, this unit works well as long as you are cooking for one person, can use a 1 qt pot for soups, etc. i have used a 7 inch green ceramic coated sauce pan stir frying, the base of this pan is about 5 inches so it worked well, originally i purchased a 1000W unit, but my handyman thought it would be too much for my electric service, decided to try this 500W unit, and it works great, for meals for one person.

Tiny hot plate to run off my inverter hopefully it works well. Looks good and is cheap in price

This hot plate works is amazing. It's small, but very powerful. I like that it begins heating immediately and the temperature rises to the desired level in about a minute. You can choose low, medium, high heat, or any temperature in between. It maintains the temperature well. I also like that it does not take up a lot of space. The appearance is attractive and spills clean off easily. I use it to reheat coffee and also have made a pancake in a small fry pan. I've had mine for months, and it continues to perform with at least one to two uses per day. I have yet to find a negative point and highly recommend it. I plan to buy several more as holiday gifts for friends and family.

I ordered this hot plate because it seemed like an affordable way to use my new moka pot. but upon the first use as recommended, i set the heat to max to let it burn off the factory residue. but in the middle of doing so it burnt itself out and stopped working. i now have a useless paperweight that never had function to begin with. im dissapointed in this product and would reccomend finding something better. as the price seemed too good to be true, it turns out, it was.

Works as advertised, yes the unit does get warm along the casing but what do you expect it's a high heating unit. Unplug it and let it sit and cool off before moving it. I use it for my beeswax melting, double boiler style. No issues

It heats fast, but the whole thing gets too hot and it takes time to cool down and you have to wait a while to move it.
