Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aroma AHP-303 Single Hot Plate, Black
Customer Review: Solid performer that does what I need it to do
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't usually write reviews of products, but when I saw the overwhelmingly negative reviews this product has received, I had to speak up. I've had one of these for several years, and it's been working -- and still works -- flawlessly. I use it mostly for keeping a pot of tea at the temperature I like throughout the day, and I'm quite pleased with how well I can control the temperature of the hot plate.
The heating plate is cast -- something, and it holds heat well. It does everything I want it to do exactly as I want it to do it, and the price is pleasantly modest. What more could I want? I don't know what planet these other folks are on, but the reason I returned to this product page is to buy a second one for my office!
Customer Review: I love this product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent piece of cooking equipment! I love it!!
I purchased this for my travel to India... I rented a room at a place in India and wanted to be able to prepare quick meals in the comfort of my room, including tea... well this electric burner heats up quickly and safely ... just like my stove at home. It is small enough to easily store away.
Now that I am back in the US form India travel I sometimes use it when other stove elements at home are in use.. so the burner helps things move along faster and the best part is that it works so wonderfully and just like a stove element... Its a must have tool... especially for single folks :-) .. or if you move around a lot on travels away from home..
Customer Review: Hot Stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
Arrived quickly and in good shape. Follow instructions and let it burn (smoke) off the oil? Anyway, smokes for several minutes the first use. This I understand is normal. Takes a while to boil water but gets frying hot quick. Analog variable control and can be set so low you can put your hand on it but DON'T! And the knob has to be turned quite a bit to come on so reduces chances of accidentally turning the unit on if left plugged in when not in use and NEVER do that. On HI the metal body get hot enough you would not want to try to touch it and you should never touch a hot plate. Enough warnings. Its a good little hot plate.Customer Review: Stopped working after 12 uses.

True, this little hotplate is not very expensive, but still, it's lost money when the bloody thing stops working!!
It was not dropped, it was not dunked into water, it wasn't left ON by accident. It just ceased to work while I was frying bacon.
I wish the sellers on Amazon.com would show the country where the item is made. The one I received has a tag on the bottom: Made in China.
I don't have anything against those workers, but I'm not buying "Made in China" products any longer. Why? Because they break or fall apart. I'm looking for a MADE IN USA hotplate now.
Customer Review: Very poor quality !!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this about 3 weeks back - 9/21/09.
It seemed like good deal and it seemed sufficient for my needs
First week or two, it seemed to work fine. Heat was less then I would have wanted, but that could be more because of the hot plate rather then exposed "coil" itself.
But to my great surprise, this product stopped working completely in JUST TWO WEEKS
In two weeks, the markings on the knob ( which says "Low" and "Hi" ) are also erased !
Very POOR quality overall.
I am going to return this and stay away from Aroma brand !
