Pros & Cons
Pros
Single burner burner heats up very well. The dial has settings off, then warm, then 1 to 5. Burner goes from boiling water to simmering quickly. Heats up fairly fast and cooks well.
These burners are very sturdy even tho they are light in weight. The sealed burner surrounded by stainless makes it very easy to clean. The burner is heavy and sturdy.
Waring sb30 mett all my needs. You won't be disappointed. It does and excellent job.
Cons
After 1-1/2 yrs i rarely use it because the extremely toxic smell is still so intolerable! Expected a hot plate to at least heat grease to fry chicken. This burner is a piece of junk and possibly dangerous to your health. It is unacceptable, both func... Read More
To achieve a simmer, the heating element cycles on and off every few minutes. If i don't the contents will boil (though not a rolling boil) instead of simmer. Very difficult to use at low, simmer settings, & the heat distribution is uneven.

Competitiveness
Beats the living day lights out of the cheaper burners at your local rite aid and cvs stores
I think cuisinart took over waring since that is the name on the units now
Note that cuisinart now sells this waring does still make it but it costs twice as much at specialty retailers

Weird smell when you first start using it but it passes
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Where i really felt impressed was when it didnt perform well the knob that turns it on and off stopped making it turn on and off for no apparent reason
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I sent my old burner in to the company and they kindly replaced it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The real test will be to see if the knob failure was a fluke or happens again but we hope that with what seems to be a generally quality product that it was a fluke
