DaewooSingle Hot Plate Electric Hob – 1500W Portable Hob with Solid Heating Ring, Ideal for Students, Caravans, Camping, Holiday Homes & Small Kitchens

Very nice

Nothing really bad about this, the only thing is the numbers for the heat level rub off

Brilliant piece of equipment

Stopped working today after 1 year of use

Worked well - not very powerful on top heat! Lost a star for only lasting 18 months with occasional use.

Cooked broke and needed somthing in the meantime. This works well doesn't reach that high of a heat but for the price and use its very good.

While this item does work the temperature settings are a guessing game as there is nothing to tell you what the settings equate to. I have also found that the red light on the front is missing, the cover is there but there is no lamp behind it so you can't tell if the hotplate is active.There were no operators instructions included in the box so I had to look them up online and saw that there was a curing process for the plate, when I did this the whole thing emitted a foul smelling smoke for a couple of minutes so best to do this near an open window or outside.In normal use it also still produces a distinctive smell that may be off-putting but it functions ok and the smell does not seem to affect the food.Update: after being used a dozen or so times all the markings have worn off the control nob so no idea what settings it is on.

The numbers 1-5 disappeared after using the hot plate! The knob is also difficult to turn ‘when it is hot! It is too close to the main body . On the plus side , I like the compact size. Heating is all right.
