I bought three of the minis and I am glad I did. One was a Christmas gift for my son's teacher. He couldn't wait to give it to her and she has already brought it to school to heat her lunch! He is so proud that she is enjoying it! My husband has one that he keeps at work and refills the liner at home. He is loving his hot lunch with no wait for the cafeteria microwave. The third is for a gift exchange,  but I almost hate to give it away! I know whichever person gets it will be glad they did.
