Brentwood, 10-Inch by 10.5-Inch by 3.25-Inch, Chrome

Item looks good and works well but does not work good with cast-iron pots or skillets the heat does not get hot enough to thoroughly cook or fry at the right temperature

Slow to warm up. Cuts down. However, for the price, I'd buy again. I've had two-burner ones.Sometimes they just quit on you. I wanted a double, but gave up. Coulda fed an army in the timeI spent "researching" hotplates. Well, if I'd had a hot plate. OK, not an army.Need to just stand by and see how the settings work. I've had it on high and it's not hot enough, buthey, for scrambled eggs, you're going to stand there, right? And it WILL get hot. You just have tobe there. Quick cook shrimp in butter,scrape and turn, add sliced tomato and or tomato paste, sliced tomatillos, chunks of colors of bell pepper. Add coconut shreds. Put on lid, wait one minute turn, off burner. Take pan off. I had the 2-burner Farberware from W/M for 2 years, and then it just died.. Got a Cuisimas from Amazon 2-burnere and returned it immediately. So, I don't think any of these last. Just please observe safety precautions.

This is my second Brentwood Hotplate. The first one operated fine. The numbers on the knob wore off over time. With the new one, I used clear liquid nails fingernail polish to cover the numbers so they won't wear off as the other one did. I only replaced this unit because it was 2 years old and I wanted a new one. The old one still works fine and I gave it to a neighbor who wanted it.

My dear old mother suffers from mild dementia and is in the habit of going off to take a nap while leaving the stove burners on. Wanting a burner that would turn itself off, I found this Brentwood product while searching for "hot plate with automatic shut-off." After trying it out, I found that although it turns itself off after reaching temperature, it turns back on after it cools a few degrees, so it's constantly cycling on and off. Moreover, while it's [temporarily] off, the power light goes out, so anyone glancing at it would assume it's off, without realizing that it's going to turn on again in a few minutes. The entire unit also gets too hot to touch, so a confused elderly person could easily burn themselves when trying to move it. Might be OK for some folks, but not for my needs.

It got the job done for a great price. There was a slight hiccup with the shipping, but the seller was awesome and straightened things out right away. They were very quick to respond to my emails and incredibly polite. I would definitely recommend dealing with this seller and purchasing this product if you need a quality hotplate. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews. This is going to be your best bet for the price by far. Also, I love that it has the pad on the burner instead of the spiraling metal grate.

it caught fire. at first we thought it didn't work cause it took time to heat up. then light keeps turning off, and it's taking a long time, next thing we knew it caught fire at the top horrifying. returning it

the one leg broke off shortly after we got it and a pot of water spilled all over the floor and dented. but it heats up nicely

Ok, just be warned it takes a while to heat up. Turn it on 3 minutes before your actually want to use it.

Good alternative when an actual stove top is not available for use. The minimum setting is a bit hot (sauce will stick) while the max setting could be more hot (not the best to sear a steak). Can't complain given the price. Overall excellent

Much better than the coil burners. Nice solid, heavy, cast iron like burner that gets hot and stays hot. Much more attractive as well. CON: No temperature settings for low, medium or high ..... but not a big deal.

Won’t even boil water

We bought it for our RV. Does not take up much room. It does the job I'm sure we will use it a lot. We are happy with this purchase.

I tried it out this morning and was surprised how efficient it worked, promptly burned my bacon :-) it looks pretty, heats up well and arrived at the set time, so I am very satisfied.
