I bought this unit to replace my Broil King single coil burner when it went out after 20 years of almost daily use.
WHAT I LIKE:
* The heavy cast iron burners - Before I owned my Broil King, I had a unit with stainless steel burners, of which badly warped after only a few years. I'm hoping the heavier cast iron will hold up better.
* The unit has a matte finish which doesn't show splatters like a shiny finish does.
* The knobs don't get as dangerously hot as my Broil King.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* The cord is only 27.5" long (excluding prongs) & doesn't reach my outlet easily.
* Indicator light constantly goes off & on during cooking (On 2 different pages of the user manual, it states "The power indicator light . . . will glow indicating that the heating element is turned on" AND "The indicator lights illuminate when the unit is turned on"). Nowhere do they tell you that the lights go off during cooking - this is dangerous if you are not paying attention to the temperature dial.
* Unused side of burner gets fairly warm, though not enough to burn your hand. This is only a minor issue.

HOW WELL IT COOKS:
* Temps range from 1 to 6 but can be set anywhere in between.
* Number 1 only gets warm enough to keep cooked food warm.
* Number 2 took about 15 mins to heat a bowl of noodle soup.
* Number 4 took about 20 mins to bring 6.5 cups of water to a low boil, just hot enough to cook pasta.
* Number 6 (max) it took about 16 min to bring 6.5 cups of water to a full boil.

Is this a Western Digital or Sandisk?
The flash drives I received had the Western Digital logo. I too was confused as to which brand I was actually buying, but an Internet search revealed that in 2016, Western Digital purchased SanDisk, so now, the flash drives are the same regardless of the name on the package. Hope this helps.
