Thanks for the thorough review and test
you said you have multiple hotplates? Can you recommend one that has a thermostate and actually heats the solution to the temp you set it? So you dont have to stand by all the time and watch if it doesnt get too hot? The Joanlab HS5C has on avergae good ratings but im wondering if you can get something cheaper or better at the same price....
As of 6 months ago, you won't find any cheaper hotplate out there that has a ceramic cook top, and I'd bet that's still the case today.
While the knob doesn't have a specifically listed temperature, you can usually figure it out by putting it at a certain place on the knob and measuring the temperature it reaches after an hour or so, then marking it on the body with a sharpie. This really only works if you're heating something with a similar thermal mass.
You would probably have to jump up to the next highest price point to find a plate that can set and hold specific, known temperatures.
@@reedpetersen yeah i really wanted a digital tempset..really 60 was so cheap that i was very carful when putting the power on first time, was ready for a blast^^..but it heated a pot of water to 75c and held the temp for 4 or 5 hours. the temp is 2 degree of to my quality thermometer, but this gap is consistent so you can just set it 2 degree higher. Like i said, magnetspinner didnt work in a steel pot, but works in glas.
@@reedpetersen did my first reply today get erased? for what? man youtube s..cks these days.
@@melangkoh4184 Glad to hear it can maintain a steady setpoint. Pretty amazing value I think. I've been using it off and on to heat various mixtures in the past several months and it seems to work pretty good.
