Update: customer service contacted us and assessed our unit was faulty. They sent a new unit immediately! We installed it and have used it for a week. I am VERY impressed with its ability to maintain a constant temperature, allowing for frying chicken in an iron skillet without it scorching or having hot spots! At first, I was concerned about the cycling on and off, but it works well to regulate the actual temperature. The manual explained the simple use of the controls - our favorite is the whole cut off option and the lock function so no accidental starts while cleaning or not using. I wasn’t sure if it would be safe for glass cookware, so I sent a message to customer service and they responded quickly - just use a small burner, that warms up slowly (I tested with our heat gun and the middle of the large, being only 1050w, was best and boiled my eggs beautifully!). I had to get rid of our gas stovetop due to asthma and feared I wouldn’t find a comparable replacement - this one has exceeded my expectations! The only place it is different is it doesn’t cool down as quickly as gas, but it’s easy to adapt by removing from burner. I highly recommend this product, especially for the price!! Original review: As soon as turn on an element, it heats up really fast then shuts off and locks. Have not been able to keep it on for more than 3 seconds. Our electrician cannot figure it out (the manual did not help) and cannot find a way to contact the manufacturer. We really like it and think it would be great for us, if we can get it to work.
