This thinks are awesome! Keeps food moist and fresh, and heats to the perfect temperature in about 45 min. No more microwave that dries out the food, while over/underheating it. My wife and I now each have one for work, plus one for home, with a couple of extra containers because we use so often.
My previous Crockpot lunch warmer started flaking out after years of service and I realized this one not realized it was slightly smaller. That said, it is a still a reasonable size. My main issue is that the lid do not seal well and by the time I am ready to eat the lid has already popped off. It is also seems to take MUCH longer to heat food than with my old one.

These are great! I don't have a microwave where I work, so this will allow me to have hot lunches during the cold months! I tried it out for the first time this week, and I was surprised on how hot my food was! I plugged it in about 9 AM and I ate around noon. It was perfect! I took advantage of their deal for buying 3. So I gave one to my co-worker and I'm using the 3rd one as a Christmas gift.
