I purchased ten of the lunch crocks for gifts and I kept three for my immediate family. Two out of the three I kept have quit working. This one worked twice and on the third time it would not heat up. 4 frownie faces. :O( :O( :O( :O(
Pros: cheap, lots of colors to choose from
Cons: did not last three uses
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this little pink and white cutie for my future daughter in law for Christmas and she loves it! I ended up getting the black one for my son as well. It is great for carrying to Moms for left overs to be eaten later at home or lunch at work. This thing is genius and will be my go to gift from now on!
Love this crock pot, I call it my lunch box crock pot. It is a excellent value. It also comes in handy for my soups for lunch during the cold winter. Would recommend highly.
I ordered these as Christmas gifts for 4 teachers that I work with at an elementary school. First of all, I ordered online Monday night with standard shipping rates before considering our last day of school before Chistmas break would be Friday. WOULD I GET THEM IN TIME!?!? They were delivered Thursday afternoon! Secondly, I ordered 2 different colors...2 black and 2 pink. I didn't read anything to indicate that one color was any different from the other, except for the color. But, one color (I forget which) came with an extra container! Nice surprise! Finally, the cost!!! What a great gift for such a small price!! Best bargain of all my Christmas shopping!! When I recover from my Christmas spending, I WILL order one for myself!!
I received the lunch crock as a gift for Christmas and have used it at work since then. It is perfect! A prefect size for leftovers and soups. No more waiting my turn for the microwave in the faculty lounge and having to stop and stir my food, heat again, to make sure it is warm all the way through. This little gadget heats is completely through....actually hot! It also heats up a lot faster than expected. I usually plug it in just an hour before I eat and it is ready to go when I am! I leave the base unit at work, then just take the insert home to clean and refill daily! Works great!
I bought four because the price was so great and gave them out as gifts, but kept one for myself of course. Now, all my coworkers are ordering them after seeing how convenient they are.
