The range has a variable temperature control and the hottest setting gets really hot. The temperature control is mechanical in nature and it controls the temperature by causing a spark.

I found the range slightly larger than I expected based on Amazon's pictures. My original assumption was that the burner was about the size of a large coffee mug, but it's actually more the size of an actual range coil.
Overall, it's reliable, reasonably priced, and is great for the multitude of uses I intended it for. Bonus points for no auto-shut-off.
When it came time to clean beneath the heating element, I realized that the element cannot be lifted, perhaps to prevent it from being damaged by flexing. I found that a flimsy bottle brush can reach most of the area underneath the burner, and that a toothbrush can reach the rest.
I opened it up, and found that it appears to be quite well made inside. The temperature control is mechanical in nature, and it controls the temperature by causing a mechanical change to a bimetalic strip. So, it wouldn't wear out like a potentiometer.
So, although cleaning it takes some effort, I consider it a small price to pay for the performance and quality. But only time will tell whether its apparent quality translates into longevity.
I've not noticed the counter beneath the coils rising in temperature at all, but the white box is made of metal and does retain heat when the coils are on.
haha!! can you tell i love hot coffee?? lol its great!! AND cannot beat it for the price! dont think twice..GET IT!!!:)
