This is a very functional and well made pot. It works well with my induction cooktop, which was my biggest uncertainty prior to buying the pot. Yes it's thin steel, but all induction style hot pots I've seen seem to be constructed that way. For its purpose, I think it's a great product and an excellent value.

I really can't complain about this pot..... I mean, it's a metal pot with a divider in it for different soup broth. It's not exactly that complicated. I put the lid together in about two minutes and one of the two minutes was trying to find my screw driver. The only con I would say about this pot is that it could be slightly thicker but other than that it's a pretty decent pot for hot pot night.

Works as it is supposed to and love my pot! Had a hot pot session last week and am so happy with my purchase. We dont get a lot of good Chinese food here so this will be used at least once a month, works well with a camping stove on my table.

Terribly designed product.
My problems began with the lid. It comes unassembled with no instructions (which shouldn't be a problem, normally). Upon attempting to assemble the lid as pictured, I found the screw isn't long enough to reach from under the lid into the handle. Tayama obviously has no sense of quality control.
The pot itself is riddled with problems. The sides and the bottom of the pot are the same thickness, which causes the entire pot to heat when placed on a stove. It makes a horrendous noise while heating. Even when used on an electric stovetop, scorch marks are left on the inside of the pot.

This is a very smart product. Right now I can eat hot pot with my girlfriend ( who doesn't eat spicy).
The price is very cheap also. I really can't complain about this pot.
