Solid and moderately heavy, steady working. We use it for watch parts finishing - plating, anodizing. Rust removal in citric acid goes faster with stirrer. Broken screw / broken tap etching in citric acid with stirrer works well too.
I made the mistake of using a ball canning jar instead of beaker and my sugar broke burning my ceramic top but now that I use the correct beakers it's going great. O ly thing I don't like is it does get hot when you turn on and the light won't be on like it's on so u have to make sure knob is 100 percent off for heat.
