I bought 9 of these to give to office staff at our school. I bought one for myself too. Unless I’m doing something wrong, I’m not a fan of how the inner lid doesn’t stay sealed when food is warming. When I unscrew the top that hasn’t the handle, the inside plastic lid is not secure and there’s nowhere to grab to get the inner bowl out because it’s hot. Am I using it incorrectly?
I bought several as Christmas gifts for friends and one for myself. Used mine for the first time today, twice! Brought my oatmeal for breakfast, then used it to warm soup for lunch. It didn’t take very long to heat my soup to a perfect temp. Easy to use and clean up was quick. Very happy with my little pot! Since this was the first time I used it, I was hesitant to give it five stars, but it certainly is a contender!
I purchased one of these for my daughter and one for my husbands secretary. They both love them and use them on a regular basis meaning 2-3 times per week. The food and soups warm nicely. My daughter said her only complaint is that the food doesn't stay warm if she heats and then turns off without eating within 30 minutes but she just turns the unit back on to reheat. She has not heated any frozen foods yet mainly just leftovers and can soup. She said these heat within 15 minutes. There is not a temp control on this unit just an on and off switch. It does fit perfect on both of the ladies desks without taking up much room and stores nicely. The inner removable pot is perfect because it allows her to carry the inner-pot with the lid back and forth to work and just leave the main unit at the office. She can wash at night an refill with the food she will be warming for the next day. It also stores nicely in the fridge to grab on her way to work. I assume this would make a nice traveling crock too as its size is for 1-2 people. May be perfect for RVers or camping with electric hookups. It doesn't seem to pull too much power.
Bought this for a Christmas gift. Finally started using it, the inside lid doesn't close all the way and soup spilla out. Would not recommend
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought 2 and gave them as Christmas gifts. The feedback that I have gotten has been so positive. Both individuals love being able to take food for their lunch break, plug in the little Crockpot warmer and have it ready and waiting when their break comes. They are encouraging other co-workers to go on line and order their own!!!
