Although it appears to be a great product for the first couple of months... when it's done.. it's done! It simply STOPPED working after 2 months. If you purchase this item, be certain you purchase the small appliance replacement warranty from Amazon.. because the manufacturer certainly will not replace it!

I don't usually write reviews of products, but when I saw the overwhelmingly negative reviews this product has received, I had to speak up. I've had one of these for several years, and it's been working -- and still works -- flawlessly. I use it mostly for keeping a pot of tea at the temperature I like throughout the day, and I'm quite pleased with how well I can control the temperature of the hot plate.

The heating plate is cast -- something, and it holds heat well. It does everything I want it to do exactly as I want it to do it, and the price is pleasantly modest. What more could I want? I don't know what planet these other folks are on, but the reason I returned to this product page is to buy a second one for my office!

people dont usually write these reviews unless they have a problem with the product and want to warn other potential buyers.

i've been using this thing for well over a year now and it hasnt let me down one bit. its durable and requires no special care, just turn it on and set it to the level you want and let it do its thing. its reliable, quick,effortless and i use it nearly every day.

Stayed warm when turned off.
Suddenly stopped working after 4 months (even though I hardly ever used it).

Need to buy another electric burner, but don't know what company to go with.

I bought this about 3 weeks back - 9/21/09.
It seemed like good deal and it seemed sufficient for my needs

First week or two, it seemed to work fine. Heat was less then I would have wanted, but that could be more because of the hot plate rather then exposed "coil" itself.

But to my great surprise, this product stopped working completely in JUST TWO WEEKS
In two weeks, the markings on the knob ( which says "Low" and "Hi" ) are also erased !
Very POOR quality overall.


I am going to return this and stay away from Aroma brand !

the one by toastmaster with similar heating element on top only lasts one year so i had to buy this one since both of mine clunked out.

this takes a while to start heating up but after initial heating it's just fine. I've only used it for minor cooking like eggs or beans (for rice and beans) so I can't say much else right now.

Don't waste your money. This hotplate quit working after 60 days of occasional use.

Just used it for a couple of times, suddenly dead out of nothing after six month. Can not turn on heat anymore. should read reviews here before my purchase.

I purchased this item for my mother-in-law who is an Alzheimers patient in the final stages. We needed something to keep her food warm while feeding her since it takes such a long time to accomplish this. It has worked excellent since it has a warm setting and doesn't let her food get too hot. Thank you very much.

Picked this up at Target today ...

I got rid of my microwave in my bedroom, because really do you honestly need a microwave in your bedroom? NO ... I mainly bought this for making tea in my bedroom without the noise of a microwave, it boiled water just as fast as my stovetop. I'm guessing if I really wanted to I could fry up some chicken with this bad boy, I might try that sometime while camping or something.

Even though I read this thing has crapped out for some I still went ahead and bought it, but I mean come on people that's the risk you take with any appliance//electronic//anything else for that matter especially nowadays things aren't made like they once were ...

If it craps out on me within 3 months definitely getting 2 stars ... but for now 5 stars ... cheers
