1000W Single Burner

Nice single burner
After looking around for a simple cheap single burner I took a chance with this one. I have used it twice and am very satisfied with the performance. It is not limited to low-medium-high settings but true variable settings. It didn't boil water as fast as my stove burner, but close. It kept a nice steady heat for a low simmer and a hard boil. The ONLY reason this didn't get a 5-star rating is there is no way to thoroughly clean under the burner. I hope keeps working.....

Great Hot Plate for the Price
I've used this hot plate in my room for cooking everything and it has worked very well. It heats up pans very quickly for cooking and it boils water fairly fast as well. If you're looking for a good hot plate for a college dorm room, kitchen, or anything, this is definitely a good, affordable option.

A tiny champ
I ordered this for use on a recent business trip--to eat well on a budget. It performed like a champ. I chose it based on the positive reviews here that said it had good temperature control for one of "this type" that typically get bad reviews because they don't perform like a home or gas range. ;)

Despite the good reviews, I was still pleasantly surprised. I agree that temperature control was excellent. What surprised me was how FAST it heated! Okay...it's not a 2 minute boil but it's not 15 either. Daily, I was boiling 6 cups of water with medicinal Chinese herbs in it. It surprised me that I could boil it down from 6 to the requisite 2 cups in less than an hour, once boiled, on medium or low, with a loose lid on. In fact, initially I expected it to take so long that I almost boiled it down to nothing!

Not this hot plate but some others had bad reviews about the bottom getting too hot. I tested this one for that too. It passed with flying...
