I got it to make Greek coffee. It's a bit slow, but it does its job. Personally, I find the adjustable switch useless for the job I got it for; I would prefer it to have a simple on-off switch. Anyway, it does its job, and personally, I didn't smell any plastic even the first time.

Nice product, although a bit slow. Its consumption is minimal, nothing compared to 500w. Just with daily use (2-3 times a day) it burned out in 8 months.

Very convenient for its size, countless Greek coffees so far. I highly recommend it for greater safety than common gas stoves

Every time I turn it on, it smells like plastic. Mine is probably defective, as it suddenly turns off by itself and stops providing heat for a long time (it stopped boiling the water in the kettle). Of course, it doesn't make sense to pay around €5 for shipping to repair something that costs around €17. If I were to spend more money, I would get something better.

I wanted a functional small stove for my daily habits, as I am afraid of gas burners and having a baby would be another reason not to use anything similar. I have always considered them dangerous, personally, and unsafe, although I have thought many times about buying a branded gas appliance. This device here is exactly what I needed! I have had it for a month already and I am satisfied! The stove is satisfactory in size and boiling speed, its advantage being the 5 boiling levels (important for my espresso machine and my Greek coffee), so the situation is controlled.

I had it for 10 years. The stove broke and in early November I bought another one, which burned out in 1.5 months. I sent it back and they immediately sent me another one.

I bought it for Greek coffee...very good for this use.
Its consumption ranges from 530 to 540 watts.

Very good hot plate. It is small, just enough to fit a coffee pot, or in my case, an espresso pot. It heats up very quickly, has 5 levels to choose from (the 3rd level is ideal for coffee), and on the 5th level it produces a large amount of heat.

It also has the advantage that the thermostat it has does not turn off the hot plate as soon as it reaches a temperature, like other hot plates do, and you wait ages for it to heat up what you have on top.

Especially for its price, and compared to similar products at the same price, I recommend it.

With 3 months of use, I consider it a very good product for its price. It has 5 levels and a light so you don't forget to turn it off. It heats up quite quickly for an electric stove and doesn't overheat like some others that you try to boil an egg for 5 minutes and they turn off on their own due to overheating. The only possibly negative thing is that it's not very easy to clean if it gets dirty.
