ONiLAB 380°C Digital Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer (200–1500 RPM)
Product description
Accurate temperature control: The unit includes an internal temperature sensor and an attachable external probe. Sensor accuracy is around 0.5°C and the instrument will detect and switch to probe mode automatically when the external probe is connected.
High-performance heating surface: The hotplate is an aluminum core with a ceramic coating that resists many chemicals, transfers heat quickly and cools down efficiently. The display reports temperature with a precision of about ±0.1°C and the controller supports setpoints up to 380°C.
Clear digital interface: A high-resolution LCD shows both set and actual temperature and rotation speed. Digital controls allow precise adjustment of temperature and stirring, with stirring speeds from roughly 200 up to 1500 RPM.
Safety features: When the plate temperature exceeds 50°C a visible HOT alert flashes to warn users even after the heater is switched off. The unit also incorporates overheat protection to reduce risk during unattended operation.
Quality construction: A brushless DC motor provides low maintenance and extended service life. The enclosure is made from high-strength, high-temperature-resistant, flame-retardant plastic for added durability in lab environments.
Application: This 380°C-rated magnetic hotplate stirrer meets common laboratory safety expectations and is suitable for physical, chemical, analytical and biological bench-top work. The white ceramic work surface is chemically resistant and easy to clean.
Usage tips:
1) If precise liquid temperature control isn't required, operate without the external probe; without the probe the plate will apply higher power and heat faster. When the probe is connected, the unit reduces output to maintain the selected liquid temperature.
2) To speed up heating while using the probe, consider placing a lid on the vessel or wrapping the container in thermal insulation (e.g., heat-resistant cotton) to reduce losses.
Pros
- Precise digital temperature and speed control
- Ceramic-coated aluminum plate with good chemical resistance
- Brushless motor for long service life
Cons
- External probe required for the most accurate liquid temperature control
- Plate remains hot above 50°C and requires caution
- May exhibit some thermal overshoot without careful tuning
VerdictA robust, lab-oriented magnetic hotplate stirrer that combines rapid heating with precise temperature regulation when using the probe. The ceramic-coated aluminum plate offers chemical resistance and quick thermal response, while the high-resolution LCD and digital controls make monitoring and adjusting speed and temperature straightforward. Safety features include a persistent HOT warning above 5

Solid upgrade over earlier version
After testing the updated model sent by the maker, it performed very well and replaced my older unit. It runs reliably and I now recommend it.

Fast, helpful warranty support
I bought two. One developed a blank display and stopped responding. The manufacturer sent a replacement promptly and the new unit works perfectly. Very satisfied with the customer care.

Thoughtful design and reliable operation
I've been using the MS-H380-PRO for half a year. The controls clearly separate set vs. actual values, the unit switches to probe control when you attach a thermometer, runs quietly even at top speed, and has survived chemical spills and messy baths. The support rod locks firmly and the adjustable feet help level the unit.

Dora the Destroyer 5/5
Excellent build and performance
Heats to high temperatures, stirs strongly and the temperature control is precise. The ceramic-coated top, sturdy body, thick power cord and clear digital display make it feel like a quality, all-in-one lab tool.

Performs as expected
Operates as advertised. There is a bit of thermal overshoot at times, but nothing severe.

Dependable hotplate with useful features
This hotplate consistently delivers what I need. The work surface size is convenient and the magnetic stirring is an added benefit.
