This portable hob is great for camping with an electric hook up. It does however get very hot all over so hence four not five stars. It would have been perfect with some heat insulation or other protective barrier to stop accidental burns. I would still recommend it but it needs supervision.

I bought this at the end of last year because the stove in my kitchen wasn't working. The stove was fixed before I had to use it. Since the stove broke again recently - a month or less ago - I have started to use it, but suddenly it no longer works. In other words, I've had at best a month's use from it. This kind of experience is so common now with goods - particularly but not only electric - bought online, that I have to wonder whether the relative unaccountability of online retail has brought on a kind of crisis in the quality of goods for sale. Items bought in the last year or two that have not lasted more than a few weeks: light bulbs, inflatable beds, a chair, probably others that slip my mind for the present. And now this. I'd rather buy stuff off Derek Trotter.

Excellent as expected

Nice hot plate but a bit light. Nevertheless it does the job.

I bought the Geepas 1000W Single Hot Plate for emergencies. It would also appeal to anybody wanting to cook from an electric power source camping or in a caravan. I want the ability to cook basic hot food the event of a power cut. It’s unlikely to happen as I only recall two power cuts in my area in the last five years and they were for no longer than a few hours. However we live in a world where infrastructure hacking events are becoming more common. The threat of hostile state supported economic and infrastructure is also growing. Buying a few basic items to get through infrastructure problems of a day or two is something I felt I need to do. One of them is a low power hot plate for cooking basic food. It’s a very cheap model at £14.34 but crucially only uses 1000W from a power source. I have a Jackery Explorer 1000 battery that can safely power the hot plate in a power cut. The hot plate is small and easy to use. It has five heat settings. When the heat of the hot plate reaches the setting temperature it stops drawing power until the hot plate falls below the setting making it more efficient for rationed power supply. I have boiled water and heated soup 5 minutes from my Jackery battery. It’s small, cheap, light and effective. There is an inbuilt assumption in my head it would not stand up to constant heavy use for many months but that is not it’s purpose. I want a cheap, effective emergency option for hot food in the event of a prolonged power cut over a few days.

We are refitting our kitchen and needed a hob to cook and this works great and it very simple to use
