This hot plate is simple to use and heats up quickly, making it great for extra cooking space or small kitchens. The temperature control is easy to adjust, and the cast iron surface feels sturdy and durable. It stays stable during use thanks to the non-slip feet. Overall, a reliable and convenient burner for everyday cooking.

I bought this to use as an outdoor hotplate for our camper. I used it for side dishes and pleasantly found it to boil water rather quickly. It's easy to store, light weight and very handy so a perfect solution for us. It does take a while to cool down so just need to be careful storing until completely cooled. Would buy again.

I love this burner. Works great and easy to clean. Down side it's a little difficult to see what you have it set at. Overall very happy!

This is the second one I've bought. I have it as a backup. We use the old one all the time. Have had one almost 1 1/2 years with no problems. It keeps me from have to use the stovetop on the range every time. You have to use it to get a good ideal what range to set when cooking different foods. Can get hot fast. No regrets so far. Just unplug after you cook something. Easy to forget it's still on. We really like it.

This thing is great. I've been using daily when cooking for an extra burner away from the range. Heavy knobs that glide to the setting of choice. Quickly get hot and maintains temperature. Small enough form factor to tuck it out the way in a counter and affordable. I'm pleased with it.

I purchased the Cusimax hot plate as a backup to a simpler hot plate that I was using at the time. Eventually, that hot plate failed and I turned to the Cusimax. It worked well for a few months, until now. Now, when I turn the power knob on the light comes on, and it heats up to MAX, while the temperature knob is still off. It makes a clicking noise that It didn't make before. I haven't even used it for six months and I have to replace it. When I first removed it from the package, I noticed that the word "ON" was partially missing. That made me skeptical about the quality. When I plugged it in, it was a very tight fit, and unplugging it was worse. I had to use force to pull it out of the socket. It worked though, so I overlooked those imperfections. I thought I had something sturdy that would last for years. I even thought that when I didn't need it anymore, I would give it to someone who could use it. Now I wonder if it is a product that wasn't made to last long at all. In other words, made cheaply. Update 2: I received a replacement burner right away, and was told to not even return the first one. They do heat up very impressively. Just like the first one, the quality is dismal. The power knob when turned off, to the left, just keeps going. That happened right away. Also, when a bit of food ends up on the unit, which is bound to happen, and is scraped off, even lightly with a fingernail, paint comes off with it. Furthermore, the characters on the temperature knob are so thin that even a young person has to lean over and get close to make them out. Because of my experiences with this brand, I will not even consider the brand for any other product.

I've had this hot plate for four months, and at first, I really loved it. It heated up quickly, worked well, and was easy to clean. I did notice that the knobs would get really hot, but I didn’t think much of it since the whole thing is metal. Today, when I pulled it out to cook, I saw that all four feet on the bottom had completely melted. Then, while using it (because I still needed to), the plastic holding the metal temperature control knob melted entirely, and the knob fell off. On top of that, the hot plate struggled to maintain a consistent temperature—it would just shoot up to the max and stay there. I’m really disappointed because I enjoyed using it for the first few months, but it just gets way too hot. EDIT: I’m updating my review by one star to acknowledge that they reached out and offered to refund my purchase due to what happened. It’s clear they value customer feedback, and that means a lot to me.

Great power and perfect size, gets hot fast, perfect size and easy to clean

I bought this for a vacation where I had zero access to a stove, and I ended up using it for literally everything. I’m a bit of a stickler for power, and this 1500W burner actually delivered. The real test was a Miami roast. I was skeptical about a portable plate holding a steady low temp for a long time, but I left this on setting #1 #2 for four straight hours. The roast came out perfect tender and not scorched. It’s got great thermal mass because of the cast iron, so it doesn't just "flicker" on and off; it holds the heat. I also used it for big pots of soup and boiling water for eggs. Even with a large stockpot, it managed to get a good rolling boil going. It’s heavy-duty, stable (doesn't slide around), and the stainless finish makes it easy to wipe down after a messy cook. If you’re traveling or renovating and need a "real" burner that won't die after an hour of use, this is it. Pros: Serious heat, Handles big water pots without a struggle. Steady low end, Perfect for 4 hour braises or roasts. Solid build, Doesn’t feel like a cheap plastic toy. Cons, The cast iron stays hot for a long time after you turn it off, so just watch your hands.

Mon rond de poèle est défectueux et je ne peux le remplacer car trop vieux, c'est une plaque Jen-Air ancien modèle avec une vis pour l'élément et la vis ne s'enlève pas, j'ai donc opté pour cet article en attendant de remplacer la plaque au complet. Ça fonctionne très bien, j'ai fais une grosse sauce à spaghetti et des beignes et tout fut un succès. Seul bémol, l'écriture sur les roulettes de fonctions sont un peu pâles mais c'est minime car c'est vraiment une belle plaque. L'écran d'affichage n'est pas large mais très bien situé.

Very happy with my purchase. Works well.

Our 32 year old oven stopped working then short circuited due to frayed, crumbled insulation on some wires. We ordered a new stove but it was going to take three days to arrive so we ordered this hotplate which arrived the next day to be able to do some simple cooking until the new stove arrived. This lovely little hotplate looks elegant and heated food efficiently albeit less forcefully than the old coil stove top. Then we got the new stove so this hotplate will come in handy to use at the table to keep food warm when we have burritos or fondu.

The elements heat up evenly thanks to their cast iron covers. The elements take some time to get up to temperature, boiling 2 litres of water takes awhile. Good temperature control at lower setting for Eg. eggs.
