I wanted a reasonably priced water heater that also provides nice functions. I was a little worried after reading the first review about the burn marks, but to my surprise it has gotten great reviews elsewhere, so I decided to give it a try.

Funny that when I received the package I was deliberately looking out for signs of previous usage or burn marks. But it was brand new. Shiny stainless steel tank. Now it has worked perfectly for me for about a month, no any marks whatsoever. I feel it is a good idea to provide this review, so people don't just walk away from this nice water heater and possibly go for something more expensive but inferior.

I did realize that there is a stainless steel exterior version of this heater and tend to be about 10-15 dollars more expensive than this one. But if you check the manufacturer's website, both versions are priced almost the same. So you are spending extra for the look.

Other pros than the product description you can read above:

--very well built

--nice size tank

--great easy to read instructions

--energy saver features (save energy during night)

--to me, it boils water fast, so fast I never realized the wait, but maybe it is due to that I don't always fill it to full

--comparatively quiet

Cons:

--it can be a little shaky, because the base enables rotation towards any direction, which is supposed to be a nice feature if you have a kitchen island, but if you don't need to turn it from time to time, not so useful. But as long as you put it on really stable surface like kitchen counters, you are fine.

Thanks for reading.

This product came looking totaly diff from the picture here in Amazon (I did post some actual picture of the product) but manage to be a wonderfull suprice for me. I totaly love the stainless steal version of this product it gives it a more modern look to it now for the pro & cons.

PROS:

Products seems to be well build and feels solid wont be supprice if this one last as long or longer than my old one which is around 3 years.

Come with great instruction one that actually make sence. And I know you know what I'm talking about.

Energy saver features of this product is great I can time it to switch off at night and by the next morning you got hot water waiting for you knowing the unit is not eating up electricity all through the night.

Safety features of this product is great for family who have kids around. (the unit wont dispence hot water unless electronically unlock first.

3 way to dispence hot water, including a manual one which is great if the unit is in sleep mode. GREAT THINKING GUYS!

CONS:

It takes a little long for it to boil water if all the water inside is tap cool but reboil is quick

Safety unlock feature button is starting to show sign of use not bad but noticable.

Be carefull where to put it cause the top do vent a lot of steam when boiling water so please make a note of that before initial operation of the product.

All in all great product worthy of 5 star in my book and highly recomended

I loved everything about this appliance, except it doesn't have auto shutoff on low water level. If you don't check the water level (which is a screwy arrangement of diagonal lines) and try to dispense when the level is too low, it will sputter out. Then, if you don't turn it off right away (even the time it takes to go grab more water), it will overheat and damage the thermostat. I also got that information from Aroma's customer service line (known problem). Other heaters on this site have this feature. And it will be inevitable that it will happen sooner or later to you with this appliance.

Honest reviews on Aroma Hot Water Central 4-Quart Air Pot/Water Heater

Before buying this product I used a Zojiarushi brand in a condo I was renting. When I bought my own place I wanted my own -it was so convenient -but was a little put-off by the price of Zojiarushi. Aroma cost less, but it is easily as nice! I can't find anything inferior about it at all! I especially love how easy it is to dispense and that it locks after a couple of minutes.

Thank you Aroma!

When it arrived it was defective and did not work. The seller refunded my money and told me to dispose of the water heater, so I decided to open it up and see if I could find out what was wrong.

The manufacturer in China made the wiring harness for the circuit board too short, so almost half of the connectors had pulled away from the circuit board. I moved some wires around I was able to reconnect them to the circuit board without them pulling out again. I Plugged it in and it worked perfectly!

So, while I love the features such as the choice of manual pump, push button pump, cup switch and 3 temperature settings, the quality control seems to be lacking, and it is not very well insulated. The outside is quite warm when in use.

One more thing, the water will not dispense when it is heating up. The boiling cycle needs to complete before the water pump will work, but you can still use the manual pump if you don't want to wait.

This cabi is perfect for a part-time massage therapist or nail tech that will be servicing about 4-5 clients a day. Cabi can hold up to 10 hand towels, but most importantly, can hold heat really well, in such little timing. I would highly recommend this towel warmer,especially because of the price.

I love this little guy. If i put 2 towels in, they get hot in 20 minutes. Great for my first massage client of the day. Then add more, they are not too hot and feel great when used right away. In another review I gave 4 stars because I thought the uv light didn't work but it turned out it was just a little loose from travel. I screwed it in a little more and it works fine. Love this machine!

I ordered this from another source knowing that it did not come with the actual fireplace insert. Then I ordered the 18EF023GRA insert from Amazon (instead of the insert listed in Amazon's description) which worked great in this and is definitely a step up from the one listed to get and even at a lower price! I was very impressed with the quality of this stand and how sturdy it was. This is a substantial piece of furniture that looks great and will do the job nicely. The fireplace just really sets it off into something special. Just take your time assembling it from the nicely packed box using the very clear instructions, and I think you will also be pleased with the end result.

Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker & Milk Frother
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Love Bialetti's new Hot Chocolate Maker!

I'm a big hot chocolate fan, and would have to say the best cocoa experience of my life was in Spain. The hot chocolate was much creamier and richer than anything I've tried here in the US. Not having a lot of time to stand over the stove and whisk milk and chocolate together, the time was right for me to get an electric Hot Chocolate Maker.

The benefits of this machine are that it can make just enough for myself or, when there's a crowd it make up to 32 ozs. You set the dial/timer to adjust how long you'd like to heat the cocoa (less time for smaller amounts, more for larger) and bam it's done. I really like that I don't need to stand over and watch the machine until its ready.

You can use regular cocoa powder mix or chocolate shavings/chips with this machine I highly recommend using the real deal. I've been using some Ghiradelli Drinking Chocolate which makes a more intense chocolate drink.

Overall the Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker was easy to use, easy to clean and gave great results.

I've been using this machine practically everyday (sometimes twice a day) for the last month. I use it mainly to make chai lattes in the mornings (to save money from going to SBucks). At night I sometimes use it for hot cocoa. The frother really does a great job and I get my lattes hot and steamed to perfection. I only gave it four stars because one day my latte ended up all over my counter and I still cannot figure out why (no cracks or anything). So I don't know if it was a malfunction or maybe the lid popped up for a few seconds when I wasn't looking. Bottom line: I would buy this exact machine again in a heart beat. At the price of my grande chai latte from SBucks (3.85), the machine has already paid for itself in the first month of use!

Update 08/2010

Well I had to reduce the rating from 4 to 3 stars as I had to stop using this machine about two months ago due to a number of things:

*Inside mechanism stopped spinning and would take two or three (or more) tries of me taking the pitcher off the stand and re-spinning the timer for it to turn on.

*When it would work, I would have to run it twice on the max amount of time to get my chai latte's hot enough

*Started to stain/smell of rotten milk despite continued soakings and washings (never put in dishwasher)

*Leaked a black tar-ish goo from the top of the base--maybe due to melting; I don't know.

I'm not sure if I would buy another one. This one was great at first and then went downhill after much use.

I recently got home from spending a good amount of time in Europe. I absolutely LOVE their drinking chocolate (I don't drink coffee) and decided to get a machine so I can still enjoy it here in the States.

I spent a lot of time reviewing many different machines from $25 to $150. The lower end machines' reviews were poor more often than not ending with problems after 1-2 months. The higher end machines seemed to be just as good as this one. I decided on this machine and LOVE it! The mixing function actually leaves a little froth at the end of the cycle so I haven't needed to use the frother yet. It was trail and error with timing for the first few cups but after that I get a perfect drinking cocoa every time!

The machine is high quality construction and components. The heating mechanism is really even and accurate. The mixing mechanism is really efficient. All of these things together make for an incredible machine.

I am really amazed and pleased. I have already recommended this machine to some other friends who love hot cocoa as much as I do. The price might seem a little bit steep but for me it is worth every penny! Hope this helps........

Honest reviews on Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker & Milk Frother

I've only had this for a month, but so far it is excellent. I love getting to try different variations of hot chocolate and milk "steamers". Just pour in the ingredients, turn the knob, walk away.

The shaved chocolate is by far the best; been using Trader Joe's Belgian dark chocolate. It melts completely and tastes so good. Also good for whipping up cold drinks, like malted milk, etc.

Great for making a quick cup in the morning, and the top is easy to clean (not immersible though).

It works, but the build quality is very poor. The parts fabrication appears to be of very low precision, meaning that nothing quite fits together the way it should. Here are the problems I had and what I did to fix them:

The base does not sit level, it rests on 3 out of 4 legs and therefore wobbles. This actually seems to allow the mixture's side to side sloshing to build up momentum like a kid on a swingset, eventually pushing the lid up slightly and sloshing out of the container in a delicious chocolatey mess that you get to clean up. This is easily fixed by padding one of the rubber feet to level the base. I used a small circle of tape, about 10 layers thick, to pad the short foot. If you love tape, you'll love this feature.

The knob was clearly designed as part of an experiment to produce the most frictionless material known to mankind. They nearly succeeded. As other people pointed out, the knob is one ant-sized step above completely unusable. My fix for this was to wrap a rubber band around the knob and push it all the way to the base of the knob so it doesn't slide off. This is very noticeable and really goes well with all of my stainless steel kitchen appliances.

The unit is insanely noisy. I've heard blenders crush ice more quietly than this thing blends milk. The noise is caused by the liquid container not sitting level or firmly against the base. Again, poor manufacturing. Some part of the container rattles against some part of the base making an extremely loud racket. If you wiggle the container around while it is running you will find a position which makes it almost silent by comparison. I believe this is the position it was meant to rest in, but again the build quality is very poor. I remedied this by placing felt pad circles (the kind you put under furniture) on top of the base for the container to rest on. This raised the container up about 1/16th of an inch but it still makes electrical contact.

The top does not always seal well, but it is usually okay. I may eventually add an o-ring or bead of food-safe sealant around it to fix this.

After these DIY improvements, and considering the reviews I have read on other units, this actually does seem to be one of the better hot chocolate makers on the market. It is not dishwasher safe, which seems to be standard for these machines since the carafe contains a heating element, but it is fairly easy to wash out because the mouth is wide and it does not have any hard-to-reach areas.

Update: I ended up sending it back because after 1 week of heavy use and many washings I just could not get it all the way clean and it began to smell like peppermint and old milk. I think liquid is able to get into but not out of the junction between the heating surface and the rest of the plastic pitcher. Don't buy this piece of crap. Buy the Breville Milk Cafe instead, for details see my review of that.

This heater works perfectly. Some of the other reviews on here mention specific negatives, and I suggest that those people read the fine manual. For example:

Comment: "The Thermometer is inaccurate by a few degrees in most."

Correct. If you read the instruction manual, it states that the heater will heat two degrees above the thermostat setting, then switching off. It will switch on again when the temperature falls one degree below the thermostat setting. This is actually how most thermostats work.

Comment: "The power cable is thinner than what other leading safe room heaters have."

I am not sure what this means. A power cable's gauge (thickness) will be proportional to the current (amperage) by which it is engineered to draw. The thickness of the copper wiring does not correspond to safety, and would only become a safety issue if the thickness of the wire were not rated for the current of which the appliance draws. I would hope to assume that the engineers at Lasko are well aware of the very established standards for wire gauge versus current drawn, and without wasting my time analyzing the gauge of wire and the appliance's current, I'm going to assume that it's more than adequate.

Comment: "this tower fan will not heat a large room effectively."

Correct. The appliance is rated for medium sized rooms, as stated on the packaging.

Comment (paraphrased): "The thermostat (auto-temperature) only works on high."

This is incorrect. Please read the manual. Switching from high to low is also the mechanism by which you disengage the thermostat. If you switch from high to low, or from low to high, then you simply need to push the (+) or (-) thermostat buttons to re-engage the thermostat. The thermostat functions on both high and low.

Conclusion:

This heating appliances works great, and it functions in accordance with the manual. A recommended purchase.

Scroll down to read:

1) My ORIGINAL REVIEW of this product (at that time I gave it four stars)

2) My LATER REVIEW (dropping to three stars)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

The main things I LIKE about this little heater are:

* It has quiet operation, and heats up a room very fast.

* I also like the design, it's simple and easy on the eyes, and like how lightweight it is. Even a two year old could lug this around without getting tired out.

* It has an easy-carry handle built in.

* It heats quickly and the oscillating feature distributes the heat nicely. It does an efficient job of turning electrical energy into heat.

The main thing I DISLIKE about it, which I'd imagine would be a major concern in a house with pets or small children, is that it doesn't turn off when knocked over. This could be extremely hazardous. It's not an issue for me because I place it in an area where it's not going to get knocked over. But if a friend with a young boisterous child dropped over, I would unplug it first. There's also a bit of a smell to the one I just bought today when it's in use, but I expect that's because it's new and it will burn off. The old one doesn't have a smell.

I also don't like that you have to use it on full power (1500 watts) to use the thermometer feature. I don't need that much heat and don't want to blow out a circuit breaker, so I prefer using it on the 750 watt setting...but that means I don't have the thermometer option. The easy timer feature does work in both modes, so I just set it for an hour and forget it. So this isn't a deal breaker for me.

By the way, I saved over $2000 last winter by using electric heaters in the coldest weather, instead of heating with oil. (That's not a typo... I saved over two grand.) The savings come from both the fact that electricity is currently cheaper than heating oil (which gets outrageously expensive), and, using small heaters allows a person to only heat the rooms that are in use. In the winter I use the furnace in the morning for ten minutes to take the chill off of the air, and in the evening for the same reason. I have these two Lasko heaters and two oil-filled heaters, which I use in various rooms in the house to keep it warm and toasty. It is a HUGE savings over the cost of oil. The house stays warm enough that I don't need a shirt or shoes, and I'm saving a huge amount of money in the process.

UPDATED REVIEW (November 20120

I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 3 stars.

A year after buying this model, I needed a second heater for another room, so I bought one with the same specs. Same name and model number. Should work well, right?

Wrong. The new one "looks" the same from a distance but are not identical. The new one is a little smaller and the color of the plastic casing is a little different. Evidently there was a redesign after I bought the first one, and different materials are being used.

If that was the only issue, I'd still be giving it four stars. (Last year's model still works great.) But the new one had severe problems. It worked twice, for a half hour or so each time. Then the third time I turned it on, it developed an extremely loud, obnoxious fan with a grinding sound, like the sound of a loud kitchen blender or food processor going full tilt. Not exactly a relaxing fan sound. I don't know if this is a one-time flaw, or if when Lasko did the redesign, they went with cheaper materials, like a cheap fan that would fall apart after being used one or two hours of use. Whatever --I took it back to Target, where I bought it, and got a refund.

It's a shame because the one I bought last year is still working well. But the new one got less than two hours of use out of it before going kaput.

While I can't say for sure, I suspect that the problem is that Lasko went with cheaper materials this time round. It saves them a few dollars but at the cost of consumers dealing with problems after purchasing it. Or maybe it was just a fluke and I got one with a bad fan. But it's made me cautious about buying from Lasko again.

Honest reviews on Lasko 5165 Digital Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

I have two Lasko remote towers Model 5538 from 2010 or 2011 that still work without a problem. Purchased two Lasko Ceramic Heaters, Model 5165 from Target in November 2012. I paid $49.99 plus 8% tax for each device for a total of $I07.98. plugged one unit in and noticed it began to make a noise. After one week I noticed the cord began to over heat when in the HI position. It eventually overheated and melted the electrical outlet. I immediately removed the cord and contacted Target to let them know this device is defective. I will also contact Lasko via email.

This product NEEDS TO BE REMOVED from the market BEFORE IT BURNS SOMEONE'S HOME DOWN. If left unattended, the electrical outlet will overheat causing internal wiring to catch fire in homes that do not have AFCI breakers or outlets. AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters) outlets will short the wiring before it catches fire. Most homes built prior to 2010, do not have these upgraded breaker panels or wall outlets.

I took a photos of the burnt cord, the ceramic heater, original box and the damaged outlet. Did not see a manufactured date on the product or instruction manual. I immediately contacted the store, explained the problem, then contacted Lasko. I returned the products for a full refund, as I was too scared to try the second unit and gave Lasko 7 days to respond to my email.

It took me to contact cpsc.gov or Saferproducts.gov for Lasko to leave me a message. I place several calls to reach Lasko consumer complaints. The employee did not immediately return my telephone call. When I spoke to him, he was more concerned with getting his hands on the product, asking for the telephone number to the store to have them retun those units to Lasko. Then he tried to blame me, telling me I needed to upgrade the wiring in my home to accomodate these heaters. Really? If that is the case, a warning should be clearly posted on the outside of the box advising the public that if they do not have AFCI breakers and recepticles in their home, do not use or purchase these heaters. If you buy or own this heate, "Don't let FIRE be your interior decorator."

I bought this heater for my daughter's nursery. Her room is always a little colder than the rest of the house and I wanted to add a few degrees with a heater that was extremelly safe for children and absolutely quiet. I wanted a short heater that would be safe in case my child tips it over. Also, this one is small and looks nice in white. This heater did the job, even though I was doubting at first. We got rid of the initial smell by running the heater in the garage at full temperature for one day. This was specified in the instructions, which said that they cover the heater with some protecting layer for shipping. The heater was quiet for many weeks, and then one day starting making some noise. I discovered that it was due to some bubbles that were produced when my daughter tipped it over. The solution was to gently shake the heater a little, which I think removed all bubbles. After that, we haven't had any noise. The most important part is that we set this heater at lower heating, and that is enough to raise the temperature in the room a few degrees. This works very nicely for us because the heater is not too hot to the touch and it safe even if my daughter wants to touch it. In terms of the manual regulation, I think that there are some advantages. Electronic settings tend to break often, so having all manual settings will make for a more durable machine. To set the temperature, you have to wait until you feel the proper temperature has been reached and then lower the thermostat until it clicks. This is not as convinient as just setting a temperature with a number dial, and that is why I give only four stars to this review. On the other hand, sometimes is better to determine the right temperature by how it feels in the room betten than by what the machine says. Finally, regarding the timer setting, we don't use it that much because my husband prefers to unplug the heater when we are not home, but it seemed to me very easy to figure out and quite practical. You can set it every 15 mins on and off and all you have to do is move the little pegs in or out. Very straighforward.

This towel warmer works perfectly and I think it's a great product. Towels are nice and warm. The aesthetic is simple and modern. We ordered the Pearl 10 bar "bright stainless" which is a chrome finish. Our bathroom is about 5' x 8' with a standard 8' ceiling. It actually warms the whole bathroom if the door is kept closed. Be careful those horizontal bars become very hot to the touch! (the vertical bars are warm too, but I've noticed don't get quite as hot as the horizontal bars) This is how it makes those towels toasty. I would highly recommend this product. For the price, a towel warmer is actually a luxury many people can afford wish I had thought to buy one sooner. We turn it on after showering to dry the towels out quickly (leaving it on all night long) and before showering for a warm toasty towel reward. It heats up fast, 15-30 minutes should be more than enough to get the towel warm, 1 hour and it's at max towel warmth. Putting a timer on it is the best idea. I haven't had it long enough to see the post-warmer electric bill but I suspect there will be little change. I think it's equivalent to having a 60 watt light bulb turned on, but don't quote me on that ;)

15 Month Update spring in power switch went out and I can't turn it on, it just won't press down. It's within the 2 year warranty, so I've contacted Amazon to fix it but I really hope this doesn't happen outside of my two year warranty. I love this towel warmer and I already miss it. We had it on a timer, so we very rarely ever used the switch over the past year doesn't seem like a switch should go out so soon especially when it didn't even get much use. Now I can't flip the switch to the 'on' position, so not even the timer can control it for us now.

Contacted Wayfair, the seller, through Amazon and they responded immediately that they would ship a new one. It indeed arrived about a week later. Excellent, excellent customer service. They've left me speechless!

We liked our 8-bar Myson Pearl towel warmer, although it got "Warm" enough to damage towels after a few months of hanging in the same place. Unfortunately, it promptly stopped heating when the two-year warranty period expired.

Remodeled my bathroom a couple years ago and thought it'll be cool to run the heating line under the tiled floor in the shower to have warm feet and essentially heat the small bathroom, but I was wrong and during the winter months it gets cold(live in Alaska) started off with a little heated fan I installed in the wall under the steps behind the stairs case, used a timer switch to set to heat, was loud as hell each time we would start it but it worked, fast forward a year later fan died and needed a permanent solution.

Thought a towel warmer should work and found this online heard a good review got it and was not disappointed have it hooked onto a fancy digital timer and it only takes minutes to warm the bathroom considerably, is much more quiet(no sound) and dried my towels!

I used to have to wash my towels every couple of days because the humidity and cold wouldn't ever let them dry but now I just hit the 30 minute button 5 minutes before I take a shower hang my towels after and there dry by the time I'm ready to shower again.

I have it hard wired to an outlet from the room behind must of took me about 30 min to install. Used an double old-work box one side for the timer and other side for the outlet connected to the timer then I just plugged the warmer into the outlet. Looks sweet and works great, would recommend to anyone interested in a little extra heat in a cold bathroom or doing less laundry due to smells on the towels

Honest reviews on MY WPRL10B PEARL 10 BAR W M TWL BS

I wasn't sure about purchasing this after reading some of the reviews here but I can honestly say this is a great towel warmer! It gets very warm yes probably warm enough to burn you so maybe don't let the kids play with it. However we hang towels on it and they cover the entire rack so there's no need to be burned grab the TOWEL NOT THE ROD! We use it to dry whatever laundry can't go in the dryer. Overall this is an excellent towel warmer and I highly recommend it.

We are wondering how we ever lived without a towel warmer.

We are energy conscious, so we put it on a timer. It comes on 2 hours before we get up during the week, and goes off 1 hour after we would normally be done showering on weekends. Our towels are always nice and warm.

Once I finally got power to an outlet where I wanted the rack, actual installation of the rack is a 5 minute project.

I received the True Induction Cooktop within the promised shipping time. I knew that most of my stainless steel cookware was non-magnetic and not suitable for induction cooking. I have two cast iron frying pans, one is 10" and the other is 14" in diameter. I tested the cooktop with the 10" pan (which seemed to be the optimum size for this unit) but the cooktop only blinked its display indicating an error condition. I then tried the 14" pan and was able to get it to heat the pan. I put an inch of water in the pan to test the size of the heating area. I was very disappointed to discover that the diameter of the boiling area was only about 4". This cooktop was listed as being suitable for pans up to 10" in diameter but I never could find an actual specification that described the size of the induction element that is used. I concluded from my testing that this unit uses a ~4" coil like the other low-end units that sell for half of the price of this one. I sent the unit back and received a full refund including my shipping both ways. I subsequently purchased a 30" Bosch induction cooktop which has one element described as 11". It creates a boiling pattern at least 11" across in my 14" pan. My main complaint is that the True Induction cooktop literature is not specific about the actual size of the heating zone and the impression is created that it differs from lower-end units by having a larger heating zone.

Before ordering this I read reviews on pretty much all of the induction hot plates I could find. All others fell short in one way or another. This one seemed to be the best choice. So I ordered it. It does pretty much everything its advertised to do. I really like it for the most part. The controls are all very light touch based. It took me several days of experimenting with various touches to get to the point where I could get the controls to respond with out lots of extra touching. This was anoying. The fan in the unit is also very loud when its running. The temurature control really only allows you to pick 10 levels of heat reguardless of whether you are in the tempurature or intensitiy mode.

All of that said and done it works well. Its at least as fast to boil water as a gas stove and whatever heat level you pick it gets there very quickly. Having had a chance to use conmercial units a couple of times, has caused me to have very high expectations though. I cannot give it the five stars many others have given it. Its pretty good but it could be better.

I needed an extra burner and this meets my needs. I wanted to use it primary for pasta at the sink. Boiling on my regular cooktop, the moisture covers the microwave above it even using the fan. It is also difficult to carry a heavy, hot pot to my sink.

It looks modern enough to leave out in my kitchen so it's ready to use but compact enough to store in the pantry. I already had stainless steel cookware so I don't need any special pans to use on it.

It has other uses besides my intended use.

We ordered this only after the Chef Todd Single Burner (from HSN) went defunct after one use and there was a problem in sending in back. So we gave up and went on a search for a better one, and did we find it! Heats beautiful, great timer and temperature setting functions. It arrived quickly and well packed. REceived notification by e mail that this company received our registration. Keep in mind it is an induction plat so not all pans will work on it. But we are very pleased at this purchase. Would do it all over again!

We are building a new energy efficient solar powered home and an induction stove top is the obvious way to go. I purchased this single burner induction cooktop to check out induction cooking as I had not had any experience of it and wanted to try it out before taking the plunge to by the full size stovetop. Well I am very happy so far, I love it it is as fast as using the microwave and it is clean and efficient. We find that we are using it in preference to the regular electric stove top in our apartment. The timer feature is something I hope the full size stovetop I purchase will also have. (It prevents me from burning pans dry!).
