Slendor Magnetic Stirrer Hot Plate Mixer 3000ml Stirring Capacity 6.7 x 6.7 inch Max 520°F Hotplate and 100-2000 RPM Stirrer, Stirring Bar & Support Stand Included

I have been working with it for over a year and is working perfectly in my lab, for small batches of cosmetics. The stirring works except when it becomes viscous, for example for a liquid gel cleanser, after adding the gums and becoming more viscous, it stops stirring when I do 1lt batch. The hot plate work great, but you can’t tell the temperature because the control is generic. So you need to use the thermometer to keep graduating the heat.Still is a great acquisition for a small lab, I really love it! Specially for slow melting, heating and stirring liquids.

Works well. Heats up quickly and stir adjustments are pretty accurate.

Works great, good price point. We have two and they work as advertised

This is my 3rd hot plate of this kind and it has broken twice, I will return the 3rd one once I have a replacement. The first one was my fault, I had the analog heat control turned up then plugged it in and it melted the wires together inside. The second one was running for a few months and last night it just stopped getting hot. So now I am running extractions on the stove top til I get this new one.. I run an mushroom and herbal extraction business and I need to keep these running daily. I am buying a $250 one and going to try that out.It may last you a few months, maybe a year. I run these things for 12-16 hrs at a time so they can't take the use for too long.

Heats up very fast.

Acid stirring

the string hot plate is a nice product for the lab and the price is good also.

It worked as advertised but just remember it’s not digital so you can’t just set it and forget it as far as the temperature goes, you need to start off low and pay attention slowly working your way up. Are used it to maintain a temperature of 100°F in a 2 L beaker at room temperature while stirring at various speeds for several hours with no issues.
