I bought this back around Thanksgiving and have been using it almost every work day since it arrived at my house.  The crock is the perfect size for a can of soup, or leftovers.  I have layered leftovers like  parmesan and garlic spaghettie squash in the bottom and placed sliced chicken pizza spirals on top for a wonderful hot meal.  I plug it in when I get to work and four hours later, my lunch is at the perfect temperature for eating.  Not being fond of microwaved foods with the texture changes or temperature issues where it's cold in one spot and hot in another, this is the perfect set-up for me.  Hands down, this little crock is one of the best purchases I have ever made when it comes to lunch preparation.  

The only thing I wish is that the cord was a little easier to wind and fit in it's slot.  I can never get it to fit perfectly but with time, it does get a little easier. I purchased 3 thinking they would make nice Christmas gifts.  I am so glad I did!
