After doing some research, I learn that most portable burners at this price point do not stay on past a certain temperature/time as a protection mechanism.
-
Cheap burner we bought to heat hookah coals, serves its purpose.
-
A 750 watt electric element should heat things about 2/3 as fast as a standard gas range burner at maximum, and that's just what this does.

An amazing burner
-
This is a good extra burner for any uses you might need.
-
This burner is not powerful at all, also the wire is too short!
-
If you dont mind spending the extra money then a more powerful burner is the easy fix but its overkill because you need a more you just need to get above 200 degrees before it shuts off.
-
If you've ever used these types of coals, you know that a flame just doesn't do as well as an electric burner.

Awesome burner for the price
-
Great single burner.
-
That being said, we would recommend this burner for the short term, but not for regular use.
-
This small burner is excellent when you don't want to fire up your main cooktop.
-
This is a great little burner.
-
The burner is a bit floppy and whenever I move the thing I keep worrying it will fall out
-
This single burner coil hot plate is nice
-
If you're looking for the cheapest imaginable burner for a small project, this is a decent choice
-
It would be okay for occasional use if you don't need it to get as hot as a stovetop burner.

About 5 years ago I had bought a Kitchen Gourmet brand single-burner electric hot plate from a physical Walgreens drugstore for $9.99

MaxiMatic ESB-300X Elite Cuisine 750-Watt Single-Burner Electric Hot Plate, Black

This is a great burner
-
Wonderful small portable electric burner for travel
-
Other burners fail after 1 month, but this one keeps going.
-
Great burner for natural hookah coals if you are looking for one.
-
When the first MaxiMatic burner failed to boil a pot of water for pasta, I used my microwave oven instead
-
My husband did complain a few times that the burner wasn't secure and would wobble.

Great little burner

Update (2/2015):A year later, and this burner is still going strong
-
The burner does its job well but the coils slip around causeing the pot or pan on them to be crooked leading to uneven cooking
-
Highly recommend this burner :)
