    I bought this for an emergency in case lights shut off. I have my generator. I’ve hooked it up to. It turns on works really good. It does take a while to cool down after you disconnect it but other than that, it heats up excellent

    A really great product at a cheap price. Does the job and heats pretty quickly for such a small unit. The only thing I don’t like is that the knob that turns it on is a little loose. Some reviews say it gets hot; I didn’t notice it getting any hotter than any other unit I’ve owned.

    This is a good burner which I've used 2-3 times now. I like the cast iron for even heating and it doesn't take too long to heat up. It maintains a steady temperature.

    I don't like the surface of the burner. The cast iron top is ridged, not smooth and it seems to have some type of coating, maybe teflon? I don't care for it. I would like to just have a plain smooth cast iron surface. A smooth surface would be easier to clean. But most of the cast iron burners on Amazon seem to have this. I didn't see anywhere in the description about a coating, but if there is, please tell me.

    The cord is very short, only 28" and doesn't reach in my situation. There's even a statement in its defense in the instruction manual, "Short Cord Purpose: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use." It is probably suitable for most situations where the burner is on a countertop in a kitchen with receptacles on the backsplash only a foot or two away. But if that is not the case then an extension cord rated for the 1000W burner would be required.

    I like that this has the ceramic plate, it's easier to clean and looks nicer.
    This heats up well enough to fry eggs and boil water. Some of these reviews talked about how long it takes to boil water, I didn't time it, but it seemed reasonable when I was making Mac n cheese and our hotel room. Perhaps the key is to boil water with the lid on? I took the advice of other reviewers and turned it on outside to burn off the manufacturing residue. Even after doing that the first time I use it at full power inside I could smell a little bit, not too bad, though.

    The one thing I don't like about this unit is how hot the housing and surrounding area gets. It's almost too hot to touch in case you want to move it after you turn it off, and be very careful of the silver bolt that pokes through to the bottom, even after the housing is cool enough to pick up, that bolt was shockingly hot and I dropped the burner under the counter.

    It's a nice, inexpensive little burner, perfect for travel or a temporary life situation. Just respect the cooldown time, and maybe even cook on top of a heat safe cutting board, and this little guy should serve you well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just right for small jobs
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025
    It works great for small jobs. We spend a lot of time downstairs where our TV and easy chairs are, but our main kitchen is upstairs. This allows us to cook small things downstairs so we don't have to go upstairs. It operates like any electric appliance that continues to heat even when you turn it off, so if you don't have a place to put your cooking appliance when you take it off the hot plate, and you just turn off the power, remember to turn it off several minutes before the cooking time ends as it continues to heat.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Clean Burner
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025
    The burner is very well made, and easy to use. It's very easy to
    keep clean, just wash with a sponge. It's slow to heat up, but
    I believe that's a safety feature. The controls are simple to use.
    I'm very happy with the cast iron burner. It's a lot sturdier than
    the coil hot plate I had previously.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Works on High setting
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024
    Product does heat up decently. Food takes longer to cook though. And once it hits a certain temp it turns off,and your only option is to cook on the highest heat setting. So not good If you're trying to simmer or keep food warm. You could probably fit 2 small pots at the same time, but if you want to use a regular or large sized pot or pan, I don't think it would work. And after the first use the burner discolored slightly. It's compact and easy to store though, and it does cook food.
