For four years I have bought several roughly identical hotplates and put into operation. One came directly from Amazon, the others from local dealers. Conclusion: These parts are good in principle, nothing gave within three months at the ghost, always follow the same pattern. At some point, even after the third use, the plate is no longer heats. That's it then, thing in the garbage. I think this is simply for a fraudulent enterprise of traders because of this glaring problem is unlikely to be by no means unknown. It is probably in buying, because keeping the customer complaints well in borders and the profit ratio is still well. Anyone who is already the effort to reclaim this scrap persevere and ultimately with vehemence? It's been already worth considering to present this unfortunate business practices in consumer protection. He has, after all, the means to force even big distributors like Amazon to its knees.
Buy recommendation: Who is satisfied with a few uses, is such a thing is to grow. Top three order - better safe than sorry!
