Title: You get what you pay for...
Review: I wanted a cheap hotplate, and that is exactly what I got. I haven't noticed that it cycles on and off like the other reviews say, but it definitely does not heat evenly (or maybe that is just a result of my cheap pots), nor does it get a pot of water to an actual rolling boil. It is lightweight and poor quality, but it works, so if all you're looking for is a temporary- or occasional-use hotplate, why spend more? One good thing is that the heating element lifts up a little bit so that you can easily clean under it or put a spill-tray in. And it does have a nice, sturdy cord.
Is the review positive or negative?
