My husband works a late night shift so I was excited to be able to send him to work with a hot dinner. This crock pot was much smaller than expected and on our limited income, I wasted $25 plus shipping. There is nothing that could fill him up and warm him that would fit in this crock pot. Wasted money, wasted Christmas gift. I'm really disappointed.
Pros: the cord wraps up nicely
Cons: expensive, shipping was expensive, too small to actually use for a work meal
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received this as a gift after ooh'ing and ahh'ing over it during a shopping trip a few months ago. I'm loving it as we're going through winter, it's plugged in at my desk as I write this. I agree with someone else who mentioned the internal lid popping off, but that's normal from what I've read, so it's all good. Homemade soup just tastes better warmed this way compared to the microwave, and this great little thing adds 5-10 minutes to my lunch hour that I don't have to trek across the building to the break room, wait in line for the microwave, etc. Upon reading the other reviews, I'm anxious to see what else I can try in it - leftover chinese food? Chicken? I'd love for Crock-Pot to make some suggestions that I may not be considering.
Pros: great size easy to carry, no smell throughout the office
This product was a gift and the person who received it loved it! It is small enough and light enough to carry around to work and stuff and the cord wraps around the bottom for storage.
Exceeded expectations; gets food very hot after 4-5 hours. Very portable. Like removable insert that I can pre-pack and put in fridge the night before. Will be ordering extra lid and liners.
If I were a rep for CrockPot, I could have sold four of these at work already!
