I bought the crockpots for my fiancé and adult daughters and they love them and had co-workers comment how nice they are. They plug them in when they get to work and nice and hot come lunch.
These were gifts and the recipients loved them and felt it was a great solution to an everyday problem. No more waiting for their turn at the microwave or having to go out for lunch.
When I first bought this little crock, I thought I had made a mistake. Now that I've had a chance to use it several times though, I realize that I'm loving it. Our office has about 50 people sharing a break room with only one working microwave. Using my lunch crock to heat my food instead of fighting for microwave time has been awesome. It's easy to use and easy to clean. My only issue now is that it doesn't have an on/off switch. I wish I didn't have to plug and unplug it.
I bought one several years ago. I still use it when I go to work. I get a lot of compliments on it. I plug it in when I first get to work. When I get ready to eat, It has been good and hot. I have even put say au gratin potatoes and bbq chicken and it is perfect.
