Negative Positive
Title: short life
Review: I bought this product late Aug/early Sept 2009, and I used it maybe once a week to make food in my college dorm. It heated up fast and cooked food as it was supposed to. It is mid/late Nov 2009 now, and the hot plate stopped working. One day, instead of getting hot, it smoked up the room and set off the fire alarm (read: I live in NYC ...). After that, it just stopped working. I had expected it to last at least a year, but this is just unsatisfactory. Do NOT purchase this item.
