Stuart Undergrad Series of Hotplate Stirrers by Bibby Scientific

"Perfect for our use and goes way hotter than needed."

"It is very good quality, easy to use, piece of equipment. The heating plate is fast to heat up. It is a great improvement on our 20-year-old hotplate stirrer."

"The stirrer didn’t have sufficient power to stir a 5 liter erlendmeyer flask with water. I have suspected a faulty product, but I have not got any acceptance from the shop for this. The matter ended up with me buying a cheap unbranded stirrer later. The new cheap stirrer has a much higher capacity regarding the stirring function. It has operated for a long time now without any problems. This Stuart product had no value for the money and the service getting the product fixed did not work. I lost my money buying a promised quality product!"

"A very good bench-top item for dissolving solid substances. It can heat to speed up dissolving and stirring intensity can be adjusted in a wide range."

"The product is fast, effective and reliable."

"It is easy to use and reliable. "

"The Stuart UC152 hotplate stirrer is attractive, well built and easy to use. It incorporates a powerful heating element and highly effective magnetic stirrer. The temperature dial is surrounded by an array of colourful LEDs indicating the plate temperature (they light up in sequence when the power is switched on - which is a nice touch). The stirrer was well packaged when it arrived and has been reliable throughout extensive use. The stirrer has a side mounted power switch, temperature control dial, stirrer speed control dial and stirrer reset button - it couldn't be easier to use. There are cheaper alternatives available but I feel that the quality of the product is worth the premium in this case. I have not rated 'after sales services' as I have not had to use them as of yet. "

"This has proved in invaluable addition to my prep room making my solution preparation so much easier. It is extremely reliable and quiet to use, can't think why I didn’t get one sooner."

"I am very pleased with the product and we have a number of these within our lab. I couldn't comment on after sales service as we have not needed this service; however the purchase and delivery time was exceptional. My only negative comment would be it is not very obvious how to register the product on line and I would consider making this simpler, and also to send an acknowledgment of the registration. I would certainly buy from this company again and recommend their products. "
