I always think of black and decker as a really superior brand. I was disappointed when I received this product. It would not sit flush on the counter. I thought, wow, I can't cook with this wobbling all the time. I bent and turned the product until it did sit flush and now it seems ok. I do not think it is a very study product and think it should be in the $20 range because it is very cheaply made.

Like other reviews I saw on this particualr product, it's OK but beeing Black & Decker I thought the quality would be much better, it's very lightweight the chromed part beneath the burner turned all black in a couple of weeks, one burner doesn't heat as much and stumbles a bit. I know it aint pricey but it's not worth buying.

Best Deals on Black & Decker Portable Buffet Range

Worst piece of junk ever and absolutely no customer support. Only used 3 times and it failed miserably until it just finally quit during the 3rd use. I am ashamed I even purchased this poorly made, poorly designed and obvious "toss away" item for my office. The literature warns you about the shoddy electronics, this thing has to be plugged in an outlet almost by itself, don't try to use it on a strip with other, more well made items, it will not work. As for calling customer support, our Canadian friends have no concept of "support" unless it is the bandage you need from pressing numbers trying to follow the encyclopaedian phone tree, which is very like the Land of Oz, you end up where you just left from. Do not buy this item, do not buy any item from Black and Decker until they publicly admit they just couldn't throw all these away and so dumped them at discount stores everywhere. Bless the exploited indigenous people tricked into manufacturing this waste of 3rd rate electrical parts.

Honest reviews on Black & Decker Portable Buffet Range

I Bought this produce for my daughter who has just moved into a mobile home and her stove is not

hooked up yet. The range works great, but one burner is more powerful than the other. I wish I

had maybe paid more attention to what I was buying.

None of the electric hotplates offered to American consumers is made well, and that includes B&D's. As one can see from the detail of the image, the spiral coil is fastened to the unit, cannot be raised for cleaning. That means it will soon look like the junk that it is.

A hotplate should be made with a removable coil so that the drip pan below may be cleaned. The drip pan, itself, should be a standard as are the ones on an electric range, if after several years (ha!) it needs replacement.

The black-top type of hotplate does not give the heat output for boiling a pot of water (1.5 qts) in 12 minutes. No good for cooking spaghetti! The spiral type might do this when it is new, but not for long.

I blame the retailers, like Amazon, as mush as the Chinese manufacturer for distributing these junk items. Amazon ought to demand better products or not sell them.
