We puchased three of them. The first two "burned out" after about 45 min. the first time they were used. The other one did the same the second time used. Would certainly not recommend it.

I brought this wok over a year ago and it still works great to this day. I use it about two to three times a week. I love it.

This electric wok was everything I had hoped for and more. It now has a permanent place on top of my stove and I use it almost every day. It was the crowning glory at my recent Chinese New Year party. The 6 quart capacity easily held 2 pounds of Yakitori noodles. With a bit of sesame oil it sauteéd the chicken pieces beautifully.

I chose this electric style because I cannot use a traditional wok on a glasstop stove. I was so thrilled with the way the non-stick coating prepared a variety of recipes that I ordered another one to give to my son for his birthday.

Finally, cleanup is a total breeze. Aroma Housewares Electric Wok is a pleasure to cook with and a must have for the serious cook.

Great product, just what I was looking for, love the size for a large family. Quick shipping.

I guess it'll do for what I paid (under $40) and what I intend to use it for (fried rice mainly). It heats up VERY fast and cools down just as fast (due to thin metal I suspect). Food doesn't stick. I've only used it once so I don't have a lot of experience or can predict how long it would last. As usual, Amazon had it on my door step in a couple days even though I use the super saving shipping (big UPS hub nearby :-).
Over all I'm satisied. (3.5 Stars)

Cons:
The legs/feet are soft rubber or plastic and leave black skid marks where ever they touch (I have pure white couonters so it's annoying).
The metal it is made of is VERY, VERY thin. Will dent/bend very easy so don't drop it. For some reason I thought it was much thicker from the pic.
It's HUGE - I wanted one that can make a lot of fried rice. To wash it is not an easy task if you have a small sink (I ended up taking a bath). I suppose you could just wipe it out with a soapy cloth, since there is only the oily residue left.

So far I've been using this products every day because I don't have a stove yet in my house. It works very nicely, boils quickly, easy to wipe down, and I am very pleased with it. Also, has visual appear. I like the look and it is more compact than the old one I have from another company.

This Wok is okay and fine for the price. The bottom portion/pan isn't as thick as the wok I previously owned. I hope this will hold up okay.

I purchased this wok for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it. It is large enough to cook a large meal and it heats up very quickly. Excellent product!

Purchased this for my mother for Christmas, and we have used it several times since then. Is large enough to cook for several people, and is very easy to use. Cleans up well and looks nice enough sitting on the counter. I very large, and can be hard to find wooden utensils long enough to keep your hands out of the heat.

Great item, works very well, heats up in no time, very easy clean up, fast food preperation for a great tasting low cal meal. Would recommend to a fried. The reason I bought this item was for the price, most woks I looked at cost more than this item and was not electric, just a basic wok you would use on your stove.
