I've been eyeing the Maelstrom stir plate for some time now. I may pull the plug in a couple of months (got some other things I want to pay off/get first), but had some questions.
I looked at some used stir plates on eBay and see some of them have a heating function. What would be the benefit of a heat plate? Is that for something entirely different that doesn't pertain to our hobby? Some of the used prices are as much as the Maelstrom's price. I saw one called a Black MAXX. Seems I've seen that name before, so I'm guessing that's a brand no longer made?
