I bought my first one six years ago. Now I have two warmers with four inner pots. I use one at home to cook my steel cuts over night and the other at work. I can prep several days lunch at one time with my extra pots. It sits on my desk in my classroom and the kids try to guess what's for lunch based on how my classroom smells. I never have to wait in line at the microwave at lunch time. My is the old model with attached cord, but I haven't had any trouble with it. I love it and highly recommend.
I have had my lunch pot for about 3 years. I use about 3 times a week and the little guy has been good to me. I have cooked an extra hamburger on the grill the night before and heated it up for lunch and it was as good as the one I had the night before and still juicy. I keep watching for a sale on them to get a backup in case something happens to it.
I bought one many years ago. Used it at school and other teachers were sold instantly. Everyone has one now. Some teachers went to teach in other school and all their new teachers friends had to get one, too! I should have bought stock in Crock Pit that year! I have replaced mine now, as I used my old one for five years. I have two of the inserts and take a left-over meal everyday. Everything is perfectly heated and tastes great! No standing at the microwave waiting for my turn to heat food. We all love our little Crockpots!
Before I bought this I was using a "coffee heater" to warm or to keep my soups warm. It only worked with soups/liquids/pasta. Burgers etc was not even thought about. Crock Pot allows me to have any of these. I love sausages (hot dogs, brats, metts, Italian) and burgers, etc. I was able to do them. If I am taking it to work I keep the soups in their original container and opening them at work (afraid it may leak). but I keep hamburgers, dogs, spaghetti and others in there. I won't use the word complaint, because it is only a few ounces, but it won't hold a full can of Progressive soup and the Chunky Cambels' is very close to over flowing. But not a big issue, 3 ounces is not a big deal.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CROCKPOT!! I purchased it for traveling(Vanlifer), as I can plug it into a 12v converter & heat food while I drive! I found another one with everything BUT the screw on top & am looking for replacement parts!! Then I will have 2 that I can use!! Best Buy for MY $$$!!
I bought this when our kitchen at work closed down due to Covid. I used this at my desk and other then my forgetting to plug it in when i first got to work, it has been my go to for a hot lunch. I do not transport food in it. I keep it at work and bring food in a separate dish. However, my big complaint is that the cord is just short to sit in the bottom slot and needs to be wrapped tight in order fit. after only a year of using it 1-2 time a week the cord is now frayed and showing copper wires as well as the heating element is now taking longer and longer to heat up. I wish it had a better cord keeper or a removable plug for easier storage.

I have had my crockpot for about a year. I love how convenient it is. I leave the outer piece at work and just bring the inside home to clean. My only concern is now the inner lid is not fitting correctly. As long as I don't have something with a little more liquid, it should be fine. Takes between 45-60 minutes to fully warm to my liking.
