I love this little thing. I can have a hot lunch every day of the week without leaving my desk. I get to work in the morning, plug my leftovers or soup in and by 1100 my lunch is hot and waiting on me. I would like to see a unit with maybe a high/low control and maybe a vent to let the excess moisture escape during heating. Lid tends to be a little drippy when you open. Otherwise, a great little product!
Pros: perfect size
Cons: lid tens to accumulate moisture. drips when openin
I have only had my crockpot about 2 weeks now and I have used it several times with no issues. I plug it in as soon as I get to work and by the time I am ready to eat my food is perfectly heated. I don't feel that the container is too small... it will hold a full can of soup with no problem. I can't believe I didn't purchae this sooner, it works so much better than trying to reheat my dinner in a microwave.
Pros: convienent and easy to use, easily portable, holds the perfect amount of food, heats thoroughly and evenly
I bought this to carry food to work. I work 3rd shift and it is hard to find something to eat in the middle of the night. Also being diabetic it is imprtant that I eat regularly. I saw this at the store at the VA hospital and started to buy it then and didn't. I regretted not getting this little crock so I went on line and found it and ordered it and 2 extra containers. Have not regretted it for a minute. I fix my supper before I go to bed everyday and just grab it on my way out the door at night. This has also been a wonder on my budget cause I am no longer having to stop and pick up something to eat on my way into work at night.
This product is my savior! Warms up soups/chili, etc in a matter of an hour or two and keeps it warm/hot for a long time even after unplugged. Easy to use, easy to travel with and easy to clean. Highly recommended this product to everyone!
I keep the pot in my office and take the liner back and forth. It heats up very quickly and is small enough to keep in my desk. I have a second one at home to make oatmeal. I set it on a timer the night before and the oatmeal is ready for breakfast. Perfect and creamy every time.
LOVE this product - so handy - we use them at work.

The pot warms things up perfectly - great for anything - soup, stew, rice, veggies, meat - everything - and it does not smell while cooking - which is a plus at work. No one wants the smell of food in the office all morning.
I highly recommend it. We are three admins sitting in a row and all three of us use ours at least two or three times a week.
I love this mini crock pot. It holds about 20 oz - more than enough for a lunch. I use it at work and bring leftovers, soup (a Campbells size can fits). Heats slowly and keeps food moist.
I was concerned about the grey inner lid and seal - wasn't sure I could get it off after the food was heated but amazingly, it pops up during the heating process and makes it so easy to get to your food
