Search is better than category browsing... you can spearfish instead of cast a net. If you had typed “hot plate” into search, you would have avoided your entire frustration... you already knew what you wanted.

Amazons web site is a mess for sure, but finding a specific product is not one of those problems. The search is quite good...

If you don't know what something is called, then you need categories to find it.
