[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a gift and as others have commented, the lid to the insert is absolutely NOT leakproof. I keep my warmer in my office and just bring the liner / lid back and forth to work, and I have to rubber-band the lid on, then place the container in a plastic baggie to ensure there's no disastrous leak. Aside from this ridiculous design flaw, I do like the convenience of being able to heat (and even cook pasta and quinoa) throughout the morning so lunch is hot and ready as soon as I can take a break.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter purchased a Crockpot lunch food warmer for me a couple years ago - and I absolutely love it! I use it every work day - soup/chowders - steak - casseroles - etc. I plug it in when I arrive and it provides a hot meal every time! Its such a good idea - great size and so convenient for leftovers!
I got this as a Christmas gift, and I can't believe how long I've gone without it! I am a teacher and am not allowed to have a microwave in my room. I only have 30 minutes for lunch, so having to walk to the office to stand in line to microwave food, walk back to class and eat, gave me little time to just relax for a few moments. This warmer has changed all that. I bring the insert home each night, fill it with whatever for the next day, and put it in the warmer each morning when I come to class. It's perfect...except... Even though the lid is supposed to be dishwasher safe, it has warped to the point that it doesn't make a seal any more. I can still use it, but I have to be very careful bringing it to work, or there will be a spilled mess. I've looked and cannot find a replacement lid. Otherwise, I highly recommend.
I bought this little lunch box recently after having returned to work post covid pause in the city. I was super excited as my coworkers all kept raving about it. However after a few times of use my removable containers is showing signs of rust. I'd recommend this product if it wasn't for I'd love the product.
Update****** Part was replaced by crock pot. Great customer service. Happy with the resolution just hope it doesn't happen again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this for several years with exceptional consistency. Teachers don't get much time to eat during the school day and this maximizes my time to eat. This year, especially due to the pandemic, it minimizes cross contamination by preventing the need to use the the staff microwave to heat my food. Sadly, the inner lid slipped through the dishwashing rack and melted into the drying burner. Is there any way to purchase more insert tins and inner lids? I would hate to stop using my beloved baby crockpot because it's missing one piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I purchased this item about 15 months ago to keep a dip warm during a potluck party. Fast forward and I had to return to teaching in person in September despite the pandemic. I was not leaving my room to use the communal microwave or enter a room where people are unmasked. This is a life saver. I have hot lunch ready daily. So what is the problem? There should be a way to purchase additional inserts. I would use it more often if I did not have to run the dishwasher daily. Please please please begin marketing additional inserts!
I just bought this to warm my lunches while I work. The directions say to use the food lid while warming and don't be alarmed if it pops off during warming. Well, although the heating was efficient and the temperature was perfect, the consumer should be told to remove the lid before heating. Now the lid is too small to get a tight seal. Very disappointed, only used this food warmer once, now the convenience of leaving the entire warmer at work and only bringing the food container back and forth is a moot issue. The directions should be adjusted to reflect that the food lid should not be left on during warming.

I recently purchased the 20 oz crockpot. While I love the convenience of it and how well it keeps food hot, I cannot for the life of me remove the removeable pot from the warmer! I have tried prying the edges with a knife and plugging it in to warm it in case something sticky got under the container, but it won't budge! I've only used it one time. Any suggestions?
