IMUSA Single Electric Burner, Black

My use is "off label"I bought it to heat a small pan of blueing salts.At full power the unit got the molten salts hot enough to produce a uniform dark blue.My lab hot plate melted the salts in the pan but did not reach blueing temperature.It has enough power to boil a small pan of water and is very sturdy.The smooth surface heated my blueing evenly.

Hears fast and works great

I give it four stars because my wife and I lived with this as our only stove for a year. It was knocked off the counter, spilled on, and even kicked around a bit during a move and never failed to work. It was pretty damn durable, all things considered.The burners on this are slightly tilted, making it extremely easy for pots and pans to slide off. A bit difficult to clean since I couldn't detach the coils. Had two temperatures; off and boiling. Overall, not what I would pick for long-term use, in something like a small apartment. But it is a handy item to have for something quick, like warming up some soup; as long as you're not taking your hands off the pot and not really making a mess.

This is s great little burner! Excellent value. Compared to its "familiar 'trusted' brand competition, the Imusa outperforms by all metrixs: The cast iron covering (welded to base) distributes the heat evenly compared to the old coils; it heats up fast, and the extra wattage (1200) is a significant step up from the old 1000. It boils water in a big pot, and simmered chicken consomme, poached 2 eggs, kept all the food piping hot. No impatient "hangry" chef :) The cast iron on black and compact design looks great on the countertop (had to stow my old burner, it looked like a garage item). Elevated feet protect your countertops. One caveat: the entire unit does get hot, even the casing. Use hot plates to move it, keep one handy.

Purchased this product 02-07-25. Worked great for 38 days! I was just getting ready to leave a 5 star review until it stopped working. The on light will not light up, & it won't heat up! Very disappointed!

Thank you for sending it in advance

The box arrived damaged and then when we unpacked it, the burners had dust on it. Other than that, Appliance looked undamaged and well made. It took a long time to heat up my pan to cook the food. Overall, not sure I would buy this again and I may even return it. I will use it one more time to determine.

I have not had the need to use it yet but this is a great brand and the price was great.
