Artilife Mini Hot Plate Small Hot Plate,Mini Hot Plate Electric,Cast Iron Electric Hot Plate,Perfect Size for Moka Pot (500W Mini Hot Plate)

Works as advertised, yes the unit does get warm along the casing but what do you expect it's a high heating unit. Unplug it and let it sit and cool off before moving it. I use it for my beeswax melting, double boiler style. No issues

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to take in my camper to save propane. It's very handy and compact. It takes little longer but it gets my 6 cup coffee pot perking with no problem. Fully adjustable for any setting from off to high. The hot plate is black cast metal and transfers heat efficiently. The one down side is that the metal base gets just about as hot as the hot plate and takes quite a while to cool enough to handle. It has rubber feet to keep it off the counter but I still put it on a cutting board to protect the counter from heat. I would recommend it as long as you're aware that the base gets very hot.

I liked the color and compactness of it, took it on vacation, used it once and never reheated again. The power light comes on but the plate remained cold.Had to get my money back. Buy a better one if you must have one.

Love the fact that that it turns off automatically, because I forget sometimes to do it. Works great good price.

so far, so good, this unit works well as long as you are cooking for one person, can use a 1 qt pot for soups, etc. i have used a 7 inch green ceramic coated sauce pan stir frying, the base of this pan is about 5 inches so it worked well, originally i purchased a 1000W unit, but my handyman thought it would be too much for my electric service, decided to try this 500W unit, and it works great, for meals for one person.

This hot plate works is amazing. It's small, but very powerful. I like that it begins heating immediately and the temperature rises to the desired level in about a minute. You can choose low, medium, high heat, or any temperature in between. It maintains the temperature well. I also like that it does not take up a lot of space. The appearance is attractive and spills clean off easily. I use it to reheat coffee and also have made a pancake in a small fry pan. I've had mine for months, and it continues to perform with at least one to two uses per day. I have yet to find a negative point and highly recommend it. I plan to buy several more as holiday gifts for friends and family.

I used it once, it worked well but I saw some smoke coming from the bottom, but after that it is not working anymore. Don’t waste your money with this product

The compact size makes this hot plate perfect for my jeweler's bench. I use it to keep my acid warm, and my 3 1/2" beaker fits on it perfectly!
