I will comment on the design which is nice. It has a nice size cast iron burner ...
I received my burner today, but I haven't used it yet. As a matter of fact, I don't even know if it works. Anyway, I will comment on the design which is nice. It has a nice size cast iron burner as described, along with the steel body casing which I love so that I can use pans larger than the burner without worrying about the body of it melting. I will follow-up with a review on its performance very soon.Since writing this review, I have had the pleasure of putting this burner to use. It was amazing at how fast it heats up, however, smoke came barreling out around both knobs like there was an internal fire going on inside of it. The smell was like burning wire. While alarmed and watching this thing closely, after about 15 minutes the burning smoke and smell started to dwindle. One would ask. "why didn't you unplug it?" well, for starters when it comes to new high-voltage electrical small appliances my husband and I always test them outside with our kitchen extinguisher nearby. As far as the way it cooks, well let's just say we finished off on our kitchen gas stove. I would suggest this for small item cooking and not large heavy pots.

Terrific Buy
I purchased this as a substitute for using the gas range in my camper, with the excess heat of the gas, and poor temperature regulation. The results, perfect! I use it with my 11' cast Iron fry pan, and 10" griddle, as well as a 2 qt. saucepan with perfect results every time. It maintains the heat you set it to, and even egg beaters, and glutin free pancakes come out perfect every time, which are both subject to scorching if gotten too hot. But when I want the heat, I do hash browns and stir fry with the same perfect results. Heat up is quicker than on my (8' burner) gas range, and I don't kill the air conditioning. I haven't found a down side (other than no degree numbers, just an uncalibrated scale), works better than expected. A comment was made about rusting, duh, its a cast Iron burner. Treat it with a little oil (I use flaxseed) when cool, like any other cast Iron cookware.

Loved my first Nesco burner, but this one let me down.
I bought one of these Nesco burners back in 2015, and let me tell ya, it was a little workhorse. I was so glad to have that burner in storage when my home was destroyed by a storm. That burner was my only "stove" from 2016 until earlier this year (2020). I never had a problem boiling water for pasta, or searing a steak, or cooking more delicate things like eggs or grilled cheese sandwiches. The burner was always up to the task. So when my trusty Nesco burner finally bit the dust earlier this year, I bought a new one right away, expecting the same great performance. However, the new burner made a humming/buzzing noise most of the time and took FOREVER to cook anything. And then the thing quit altogether, within a couple of months of purchase. It's been sitting in my garage since then (that was in May). I'm just now getting around to writing the review. I've been relying on my microwave and instant pot since then, but finally purchased a Cukor 1500W burner last week and have been very pleased with it so far.

Works very well and looks great.
This is a really well working hot plate. It looks great. Unfortunately it died after 5 months but it has a one year warranty from manufacturer. So I'll get another one.

Off/On - keep an eye on it
This little unit heats up fast and gets very hot. I can boil water in like 60 seconds. I would have given it 4 or 5 stars except for one major flaw: The OFF/ON switch is not fully functional. Even when you turn the burner "OFF", it will still continue to be on indefinitely if you do not also turn the heat dial down to the lowest setting! OFF/ON does not turn the unit off - unless the heat is also set to minimum. That can be dangerous if you count on OFF to actually turn it OFF. However, if you remember to dial down both knobs at the same time, then it shuts off just fine.

Great for home or traveling
Quick heating device and easily adjusts to achieve the heat level needed.

Great for heating up coals for Hookah, IF you use a foil tent.
At first I didn't think that this worked for what I bought it for, to heat up my Coco Nara coals. The coils are under the black top thing, so you not directly on the heat source, which was enough to not get my coals going very well. I found a solution though, in a foil tent. I shaped a piece of aluminum foil with a cup bottom to put over the coals while they are on, and it gets them red hot in no time now. When my first attempt with foil didn't work to well, I put a air vent hole in the top of my foil tent to allow for circulation. I wouldn't of thought it was bad if it didn't heat my coals up, since that isn't what it was designed to do.

Durability
Wouldn't recommend product just stopped working for no reason on it wasn't dropped, tampered with or wet but all is a sudden 1week after the return window closed now product is not working. I will re-purchase the product at a retail store where they have no problem or set date to return defective items
