Cusimax Hot Plate Electric Burner Single Burner Cast Iron hot plates for cooking Portable Burner 1500W with Adjustable Temperature Control Stainless Steel Non-Slip Rubber Feet, Upgraded Version

Heats fast. Temperature high enough to cook just about anything. Controls are stable. Easy to clean. However, only had this one week, and so cannot speak to longer term reliability and dependability yet. So far so good though!

So my brother inlaw bought his Spanish mother a stove that none of her pots works with. Not one pot, pan, nothing. Let that marinate, a Spanish mother's pots and pans cant work with this magic stove ge paid alot for. So I being the greatest "son" buy this hot plate for my Spanish mother inlaw because I need to eat. I heard swelling of her eyes but no tears when she got it, but it was close. She says its better then her original stove that she had for decades. Loves the fact she can dial in the temp her words. And yes fellow country outdoors hunting fishing rednecks plugs into my truck and works like a dream off the back tailgate. Buy it.

It works very well, easy to clean, I just thought one of the burners would be larger. Good product.

I don’t often write reviews but I have to this time. This thing gets really hot fast. Very easy to use. Simple controls. In fact if I had anything negative to say it would be hypothetically it might overheat even though I’ve never seen evidence of that. Why I say that is I believe it has 7 heat levels and I use setting 2 to boil large pots of soup. When I first got it I set it to seven and it boiled crazy fast but the burner was so hot so fast it can cause things to stick which eventually would burn. Level 2 heats it a bit slower but you still need to stir a few times before it comes to a boil because stuff still sticks a little bit. I wonder how consistent this is across this line. I have considered mine is tuned too hot but now that I never go past level 2 it’s not a problem. I bought this after returning a different brand that took forever to boil and actually would sometimes never boil at all. This is the exact opposite. So if you want a very powerful burner knowing it may be too powerful on its highest setting, and manage it, this is for you. If you want something that doesn’t even get hot enough to burn anything buy something else.

I like the space between burners. I can actually cook 2 things at once evenly. It also has a great safety feature where you can turn it on and off in the back along with the off knobs for each burner. Easy to clean which is important for me because the last one I had was a 2 coil burner. Something would boil over on that and it couldn't be taken apart to clean underneath... it caught on fire and that's why I bought this one.

Update 3/27/2022: Now it's dangerous. The thermostat knob occasionally doesn't work, and it fails CLOSED (meaning, it stays on 100% even when you set the knob to 2 out of 8). I thought my pancake burned prematurely, and when I took the pan (Teflon, which is dangerous when overheated above 400°F) off the burner, the cook plate was RED HOT. Why can't someone just make a good quality product anymore? Update 11/15/2019: The more I use this, the more concerned I get. First, it got so hot it melted the clear plastic button covering the little power bulb. I thought I'd just glue it back. But I noticed the entire casing gets REALLY HOT every time you use it. I measured 306° F (152° C) on the front face, and even 288° (142° C) on the silver knob you need to adjust the temperature! This is poor design. There should be some form of insulation between the heating element and the frame and knob of the hot plate. You can still adjust the temperature, you just don't want to grab and hold the knob. We've been very happy with this so far (as of 9/22/2019, we've had it about a month now). We use this at least 5 times a week instead of our gas stove so we can use our solar electricity instead of fossil fuel to steam eggs, make grilled cheese, saute or pan fry some dinner, etc. It's been very reliable so far. But there are a few things that we wish were improved (Manufacturer take note!). 1) There is an on/off knob on the left, and a temperature setting with an "off" position on the right. Why 2 "off" settings? Redundant. No need for left knob and it only causes confusion. 2) The "off" positions on EITHER knob don't even "click" into position, you just roll them to the end, and if your hand strikes the knob a little, it'll come back a bit from the off position. Make it CLICK off please!! 3) The left knob has an arrow on the top and if you rotate the knob so OFF is at the TOP, that knob is in the off position. The right knob has an arrow on the front of the burner to the left of the knob and if you roll that knob so the "off" position is on the LEFT side, that knob is off. If you have to have 2 knobs, BE CONSISTENT!! 4) The right knob has print on the face of the knob and the arrow to the left of the knob as described above. When you're standing over your pot, you have to kneel down so your eyes are at knob-level to read what setting you have. MAKE THE TEMPERATURE SCALE SO YOU CAN READ IT FROM STANDING POSITION! But even with these annoyances, which my wife and I both find minor, we love this burner and are only dinging it 1 star.

I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something that I was going to need for only a few months. I could adjust to the fact that it takes a lot longer to reach boiling. But it never got hot enough to sear meat. Also it tripped the circuit breaker and so I could not use microwave or portable air coolers at the same time. I should have spent a lil more money on a better one

I'm impressed by how fast the water starts boiling, then how fast and easy it is to put away! Very easy to move around! Great bargain

It started rusting after a few months use. I don't recommend.

Buena cocina , ideal para empotrar y una potencia suficiente para uso diario la recomiendo 100%

I dont have a stove in my apartment right now and this works pretty ok. The large burner was fine for a few weeks but heats much less than the small one. However the small burner gets as hot as I ever need and can warm large pans of water or stock. So overall it meets my needs. The dials on the front are awkward to use to be honest. Top of stove ones would be better

Nice looking, works great and takes little space. The only thing is the temperature switches warm up along with the whole thing a bit, they shouldve put them on the side somewhere..its a bit weird to be they so close to the stove

It has a beautifull design , it comes in 2 different size of the hot plate , boiled water just in a few minetes , we love it
