Homend 110V Mini Electric Stove 500W Portable Countertop 5.5 inch Hot Plate Multifunction Home Coffee Tea Water Heater Home Heater Cooking Plate US Plug

This hotplate, described as 5.5 inches actually has a 4 inch ("105 mm") diameter heating element that fits well under the Moka Pot I have (the label on the side of the hotplate says "YQ-105"). This is important to reduce heat going up the sides of the Moka Pot that might melt the handle. This product is described as "500 watts" but I measured 5 amps of current draw and 5 amps times 120 volts is 600 watts, not 500 watts - hardly an issue, almost not worth mentioning. Anyhow, this hotplate is perfect for the Moka Pot I have and use...

Good little cooker of soups and etc.

The item smelled bad when opened the box. I did not see any tags with a UL listing. I used it 3 times and tossed it. It still smelled and takes almost 1/2 hour just to boil a small 1/2 pot of water.

I actually use this for 'burning' resin incense. Good, simple temperature control from coffee-warmer warm to boiling hot. Would be perfect for a small tea kettle.

Measured with a Wattage meter. Don't be so confident to buy this thinking that with 500W you can power it. Aside from the misleading spec, it does the job.

Works as intended

awesome

Stove came scratched, banged and obviously used *ugh. Needless to say - it goes back !
