    The reviews for Cadco hot plates were positive, so I took a chance and ordered the CSR-3T. I've had it in daily use for over two months now and I am thrilled with the quality of this hot plate!Pros:* Sturdy construction with real metal throughout.* Fully-variable temperature ranges from the gentlest simmer to a full, rolling boil or hot fry. Being able to hold foods at a long, slow simmer was critical for my cooking needs, and this hot plate has exceeded all expectations!!* Wide base with dense rubber feet makes for stability even under heavy kettles of soup.* Heats up and cools down quickly.* Sides and base of unit are covered with vents and/or perforations; hot plate thus stays relatively cool even while cooking.* Independent, illuminated power toggle switch, plus power LED provide extra safety. It's very hard *not* to notice the unit is on!* Ingenious design makes for easy cleanup (see below).* Made in the USA!Cons:* Warranty is void if you spill food inside the unit. My experience however is this is rather difficult to do, since the entire area where food could enter the electrical section comprises two 3/4"x3/8" slots (see photos).* Hot plate is fairly large--a full 14" wide-- so be sure you have sufficient counter space.* Short power cord (1 meter) is a good safety feature, but might be inconvenient for some kitchens.Some reviewers have complained about cleanup being awkward, since the heating element is not fully removable. I'd like to say a word about that, as I have found cleanup quite easy:First, while the heating element is, indeed, permanently attached, it also lifts up easily to a high angle -- at least 60 degrees tilt.Second, the burner drip pan lifts right out, revealing a large cavity underneath. That means even if food slops through the center hole in the drip pan it will land in the large cavity where it is easy to sponge up.Third, the drip pan itself is stainless steel and (so far) almost effortless to wash. It is also a standard 8" size, so if it ends up stained or corroded you could easily order a cheap replacement.My only complaint relative to cleanup is that the trim ring around the base of the heating element is not easy to lift out, so grease tends to build up along the edge. It is held in with a tiny spring that might eventually break. These shortcomings seems minor to me, however, so I'm sticking with 5 stars.[UPDATE 2019-09-18]This was an excellent hot plate, and it did eventually wear out. In fact, it lasted two years almost to the day. However that was two years of heavy, daily use: 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, for two full years, including many spills, lots of banging around with big, full kettles of stew (etc). I basically beat the c**p out of this hot plate, and it still lasted two full years. I would have enjoyed it lasting another couple of years, but under those conditions I am not complaining. I thought folks might like to know.
