Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Toastmaster 6431 Eclipse Single Burner
Customer Review: Arggggggg
Summary: 1 Stars
This burner is driving me nuts. It was okay for the first 2 weeks, took forever to heat up but it would boil water. Well I am trying to make pasta now, and it won't even boil the water. I would NEVER by another toastmaster product.Customer Review: If you love fondue this is a must have item .... but
Summary: 5 Stars
.... if you think this is going to replace the kitchen stove ... forget it ... it'll drive you NUTS ....
Because the burner has a heavy metal plate it is perfect for fondueing or warming on the dining room table. Even though it does have good wattage the unit takes FOREVER to heat up and thats why I say to be carefull of thinking its good to replace a stove. Once, however the plate gets hot its fabulous and great for fine temeprature control ....

Summary: 4 Stars

recommend it as supplementary burner.
Customer Review: poor quality, danger of shock or electrical fire
Summary: 2 Stars
The Toastmaster 6431 does not have an Underwriters Lab label, which would make anyone hesitate before buying it. The Underwriters Lab endorsement (a "UL" logo) indicates that the electrical product is properly designed and constructed so that it is safe. We found the product online, where there was no info about the UL status of the product.The first thing that broke was the temperature control. We fixed that by oiling the screw whose in-out motion controls the heat setting.
The more serious problems emerged when the fuse blew. We looked inside and discovered overheated wires with partially-melted insulation. This condition could cause both an electrical shock to the user and an electrical fire that could burn down a house.
Toastmaster makes another hot plate (model TTS1) which does have an Underwriters Lab endorsement. We bought one today, and we hope that it will work safely until after the end of our kitchen remodelling project.
Customer Review: Just why does it burn out??
Summary: 2 Stars
I've loved my little hotplate for 3 months, but it died. Froze the temp control at the time of death. Up until then I was very happy except for trying to boil large pots... never got there, and on frozen stirfry it has a hard time coming back after you add the frozen veggies... but ALL of the reviews are accurate, the high ratings just haven't used it enough times for it to burn out.. looks like anywhere from 50 to 100 uses, depending on how often you turn it all the way up. Highly recommended for a temporary use while on vacation or broken stove... now to try to get some warranty help!
