- 5 temperature settings, auto shutoff on overheat

Who it's for
Works for anyone needing a portable single burner for a dorm, RV, office or as a backup stove. Less suited to those wanting a cooktop that stays cool to the touch or one that never cycles on and off during cooking.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers repeatedly compare it well against older or cheaper hot plates, citing even heat across the glass top versus a hot center spot on their previous units. The most common drawback raised was heat carrying into the housing and knob during cooking, which one reviewer said made it impractical to pack up immediately after use while traveling.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Housing and knob get hot during cooking
- Glossy surface can let pans slide if bumped
- Small surface limits larger frying pans
