Amazon.com Review:
For the buffet line or dining table, in the office or workshop, this compact electric burner is ideal for warming a pot of soup, cooking scrambled eggs or a stew, or for keeping a vegetable curry hot while guests help themselves. Measuring just 10-1/2 inches wide and 10 inches deep, the burner has a 7-1/2-inch-diameter solid heating disk that's sealed for easy cleaning. With 1,200 watts of power and a nine-setting thermostat, its ample size works for any stovetop cooking task. Plus the metal housing is bright and durable. The unit carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Rating : - Buyer Beware
In the last three months we've had 3 units (Toastmaster 6431 Eclipse Single Burner). In all cases the units were never abused, never dropped. They were used twice a day for short periods. Our electrical outlets are wired properly and the unit was never wet. Its polarized plug was plugged in correctly.

The first unit died after about 2 weeks, i.e. no heat. With the second unit after a month or so I felt charge on our metal tea kettle, if I touched any metallic part. My voltmeter showed the full AC wall voltage, 110 VAC, across the chassis to ground when the temperature control was in most, but not all, positions.

The third unit, brand new, out of the box, has 35 VAC from chassis to ground. I can feel a slight tingle. I expect the unit to get worse if used. I bet the problem is a bad batch of rheostats or whatever the temperature controller is. And I bet that any appropriate insulation degrades with use from the heat.

The unit does not have the common third wire, to ground, which is so common with any AC device in a metal chassis, to prevent shock by throwing the circuit breaker if there is an internal short. It does have a polarized plug. It is NOT UL approved.

In my experience, THIS IS A DANGEROUS UNIT. Our local hardware store has removed its remaining units from their shelves. I'm going to eat the cost and disassemble the unit to try and determine what the problem really is. And I'm going to write the company that something bad is going on here, maybe a bad batch of parts ??

I've had Toastmaster stuff before and have been satisfied. In fact, we just bought another, different, UL approved unit, from the same company, for the same price, the Buffet Range TTS1. We hope this unit works and has been properly manufactured to be safe.

Buyer Beware!
