Works well but read instructions carefully
The media could not be loaded. The stove I inherited from the previous tenant died a while ago, and my landlord doesn't repace appliances, so I was cooking with a beat up hotplate from a charity shop. The element in the main burner stopped working, so I found this reasonably priced ($19) Proctor Silex one. I like to buy U.S.-made products but who knows if it was made here, right? (It's delivered by UPS.) It's a bit flimsy, but I've cooked all kinds of things for a week, now, and it functions well. One burner is 1000 watts, the other is 1100 watts. The instructions say not to use other high wattage things on the same circuit when you're cooking. And not to use more than 60 minutes within a 2-hr period. Maybe it will overheat the element? It has a very short cord, apparently so you avoid tripping on it, but that means you need to put this near a plug at the same height as the hotplate, but not closer than 4 inches to anything else. I barely reached my plug. (BTW, the old stove is disconnected.) There are no temp settings, so you have to figure out how far up to turn the knob for whatever you're cooking. If you start halfway and gradually increase, you're less likely to burn the food. See my video.

Dependable, works as advertised!
I use this burner on high all the time. The purpose of the burner is to heat up my grill pan, pictured to the right of the burner. It’s been about two years and no problems with the burner. No problems with the pan either; it’s a Lodge cast iron grill pan which I got on Amazon too. I’d buy this burner again!

good for what it can do, not strong enough for me.
it worked well for what it does. I liked the compact size. didn't use it enough to know how cleaning the drip plate would go. I found that it could bring 12 cups of water to a soft, sort of, boil in 24 minutes. I opted to get an 1800 watt cook plate instead which get 12c of water to a rolling boil in 15 min.

It works!
The media could not be loaded. It works! I use this everyday. Takes a while to get to a boiling point and doesn't keep a "rolling boil" but it eventually gets the job done. The package arrived damaged but the burner itself was intact and operable. I will purchase again as needed.

Edit: time out >:(
EDIT - 1Star!Bought and didn’t use until the end of Sept- understand this is for a paraplegic with kitchenette. 1) it has come on when bit in use and 2) has stopped working.Original rating:This year has been tough as my brother had hip replacement surgery, unrelated - became paralyzed and is now in a wheelchair. Having independence is CRITICAL for someone paralyzed! Kitchens are not designed for a person in a wheelchair which makes everyday tasks much more complex.My brother - thankfully- lives with my mother (who needs someone there with her) but lives independently in a separate level of the house. He wanted to expand his culinary skills beyond microwave, air fryer and griddle. THIS has provided a SIMPLE JOY! He now can cook foods he had previously missed.The burner is portable, appears to have solid weight, easy to use and easy to store. Very glad we made the purchase - even if it is for old fashion Mac and Cheese.

OK while it lasted
Lasted exactly 8 months. That was with daily use as my primary and only cooktop. It probably isn't intended to be used in that manner. Probably best for an extra burner you use occasionally. It will eventually boil water with a lid on the pot, but it takes a long time to reach boiling. And the power cycling also reduces the temperature below what is ideal for cooking certain items. You don't have a lot of control over the power.OK Amazon won't let me review the two burner variant after submitting my review of the single burner, so I am going to add that here...I owned the 2-burner variant and that one only lasted less than 5 months of daily use. But most of what I said already about the single burner holds true for the 2-burner. The 2-burner is actually better because the amber power light actually functions the way it should, meaning it only lights up when the power is being sent to the burner, as opposed to the single burner model where the amber power light stays on continuously as long as the unit is plugged in.

Works as should.
Works as should. Easy to use. The one thing is the eye isn't a constant heat. It comes and goes, so it takes forever to boil water.
