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

I ordered 2 of these and they are working great for me. I teach a cooking class to developmentally disabled adults we need more cook areas. I order some digital hot plates that were a total bust. So ordered these because they were not digital or induction. They are great! The only downside is the metal housing under the cast iron burner gets hot while cooking. It's not enough to burn with just a quick touch, but you definitely wouldn't want to hod on to it for more than a second or two. They work so well that this is not a deal breaker for me. I love them.

Very powerful machine! cooks very evenly and quick, easy to keep clean, and store away in a Cabinet. only thing is that the base does get really hot so make sure you have it on a stable heat resistant surface and wait for the machine to fully cool down before storing away.

Works well with a lot of heat. The only drawback is that the "ON" light cannot be seen unless you are directly in front of it, which means that if you are standing and the hot plate is on a countertop, you need to bend down and look directly at the light. Not a problem in the kitchen, but a hassle when cooking outside on a low surface (such as an upside-down planter or a cinder block).

Really dig this hot plate. Just got to remember to turn both knobs off, not just one. It gets hot FAST.

Not sure why but stove is getting rusty?!? I thought it hade protective coating !?! I didn’t even wash I just used stainless steel on stainless steel with cleaner so I am not sure what’s that all about and all lettering came off as it would be writer with a sharpie?!? I would not buy this one again and I would definitely return and check different company!! Cheaply made.

The actual burner area is not super big so it takes a long time to heat up a pan. The metal base get very hot, moreso than the pan! Update: the ‘on’ and ‘off’ wiped right off when I wiped it down with water and dish soap!

I travel alot and stay for long periods of time, Don't like going out to eat. I like home cooked meals. Some hotels don't have kitchens ,and it's a great way to cook, I've used it my last trip and it work great. Low heat high medium heat super low its all there. Small and compact not super heavy, very well made. Try one if your on the go alot.

My brother-in-law had this model two years ago and it worked great getting used twice a day. I recently got this one because of the 1500W high heat rating. After working ok for 2 weeks, the thermostat started shutting off heat at a lower temp than the setting and failed to cook sufficiently. I returned it and got an exact replacement. After a few days it works ok except I tried to boil a dutch oven size pan half filled with water and set temp at max setting. As bubbles started at bottom of pan just a few minutes from complete boil the thermostat shut off and boil was never reached. The older model at my brother-in-laws stayed on at max setting. Because of several fires and melting reported in reviews I suspect the manufacturer adjusted the thermostat shut off levels to lower temp. So for frying and heating soup it works fine but at max setting for boiling water it fails.
