Great little double burner
I was worried when I got this and found out that the second burner has reduced wattage. I tried it, feeling very skeptical, but even the low wattage burner gets hot enough to boil my coffee pot. One of the features I particularly like is, the burner temperature stays constant--so many of these things are built so that they reach a desired temperature then turn off till the temperature drops, then come back on. The Toastess comes on, stays on and doesn't fool around making your cooking take forever. The knobs are kind of cheap. Mine is less than two months old and the numbers are already wearing off a bit. They feel flimsy, though they've held up so far. The body of the burner is steel and it's pretty sturdy. It has three indicator lights, one in the center that shows it's getting power and one each for the burners to show when they are on. It's smaller than what I was using before, but can can still fit a 12 inch skillet and my coffee pot on the thing at the same time so I'm...
NOT A GOOD PRODUCT
ONE OF THE BURNERS STOPPED WORKING ON THE FIRST USE, NOW THE OTHE BURNER IS OUT...... USELESS IN MY TIME OF NEED
gets hot fast
It's a small, light-weight hotplate. My old hotplate (Kalorik) burned out, so I got this one as a replacement. The main advantage of this one over any other that I have ever seen is that it gets hot very, very fast. This is a good thing, unless you don't plan to actually use it to cook anything.
2 minor things that I don't like about it: 1) the burners are kind of small, and 2) It got so hot that some of the white paint chipped off already. If you don't want the paint to chip, only turn the knob to about 3/4 of the way to full-blast in order to boil water. Regarding the small burners...I'm not sure that any hotplate has huge burners, so that's kind of a non-issue.
Overall, it's a fantastic hotplate.
