I have had mine for about 3 years. I don't have to use the microwave at work because I either have to wait in line or it is splattered with other people's food. After seeing my Lunch Crock at work, a couple of people went and got one of their own. I love it.
I purchased this product last year for my boyfriend for x-mas. He said what am I going to use this for. Well this year he told me he didn't want any more cold cuts for lunch. I said yikes i am in trouble. So I took out the crock pot that was purchased last year for xmas and made him lunch with it. Well it was a hit. Even the guys that he works with were impressed that he was eating hot food. Two of them ended up purchasing it as well. I even purchased 3 more inserts and I am looking to purchase another 2 - one for me for work and the other as a holiday grab bag for the office party. I think it will go over well. I wish that there was a rectangular or oval one a little bit bigger than this one to be able to separate food side by side. Since I have been using this, i have made everything from Egg Sanwiches to taco's and soup. Very happy with the purchase as well as my boyfriend and co-workers.
This lunch crock warms food well, but some issues need to be addressed. First, the inside lid doesn't stay on when heating. It pops off because of expansion during heating. Next, The outer lid does not lock into place. It just "catches", so it comes off easily. Lastly, if you need to take the warmer to a different location to eat, you must take the entire unit, as the inner removable tub is metal & gets too hot to transport by itself. This means you have an electrical cord to deal with. It is a good idea, but really needs lots of tweaking!
Pros: heats food well
Cons: lids don't stay in place
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback as it is greatly appreciated. We will be happy to forward your comments to the product team.
I am so glad that I purchase this product, it has made my life so easy as far as warming up my food. There are so many people asking me about my lunch crock pot that they wanted to know where I purchase it and I was more than HAPPY to give this the website. I am planning in the furture to maybe purchase other item them. Again thank you so much for make such a great product on the go for so many enjoyable time. Christina L.
My husband works construction and very rarely has access to a microwave. He was getting sick of sandwiches every day and started to resorting to fast food way too much. I saw this at a store and figured it'd be worth a try. He is loving it! Every leftover we have put in it so far has worked. We've done chili, stew, spaghetti, leftover hamburger patties, taco meat, chicken pot pie and more. We've also put hot dogs and brats in...you just have to bend them slightly to form the container. I just bought three more of the food container inserts, so we for sure always have an extra one or two clean...even when he has to pack for lunch and dinner.
My husband and I each love our lunch crockpots. We have used them several times already and its not even cold out yet. I think the serving size is generous but not so large that I waste food. It heats up quickly too, so you don't have to plug it in first thing in the morning to be hot in time for lunch.
