Best value for the price.
My husband loves the small size and functionality of this. He heats up his meals while over the road, and it’s been used at least twice a day, 4x a week since purchase. It’s held up for almost a years.

Very convenient
This really does the job well. I use this mostly for my premade fresh meal subscription that has microwave and oven instructions. It is the perfect size for a single person. I find that about 90 minutes is ideal for delicate proteins you want to keep tender. I don’t think this would matter for somehting like chili. I once had a chicken dish that I left in there for a few hours and I found the chicken to be tough. But it was a single occasion, so I do not know if that is how the chicken was or if heating it for a longer time made it tough. If my dish has rice or other grain that might dry out, I add a splash of water to the dish. The only complaint is how the inner dish lid attachs. When it is cold, it can be difficult to unlock and I have to fiddle with it. However it seems to be easier to open once it has warmed my meal. I do not have issues with the outer latches as some people state. It was tight when I initially received it. But it has a big sticker on it instructing you to apply pressure on the lid to make it easier to open. Then inner pan has gotten marks on it. I do not know how to describe it. But I washed it in the dishwasher one time and at other times I hand wash it with a dishcloth and dish soap and usually let it air dry. I think the marks indicate a lower quality stainless steel but I could be wrong. Overall I am very happy with this product. I do wish the inner dish was a little better designed, but I can live with it. I would pay more for this product with a better inner dish. I would also be willing to purchase multiple inner dishes so I can store my meals in the fridge in them. Oh and you can do that; store the inner dish/lid in the fridge until you are ready to heat it up.

Good quality product I can count upon
It works perfectly! From experience with the Crock-pot brand, I know I can count on using it safely for decades. Yes, I did also buy an unknown cheaper brand with more features and there are problems.I’m using this electric lunchbox at home with an upcoming kitchen remodel on the horizon.How I use it so far. I place a layer of frozen non-starchy vegetables on the bottom and then a rectangular frozen meal on top (like Amy’s). Close it up and check on it later, stir, repeat. Even frozen round meals such as Amy’s Bowl meals work. I just lay the lid over it, plug it in and come back to it being softened enough to push edge of food in and then close the lid.Everything seals well. I haven’t carried the lunchbox anywhere except inside the house, however the lid fits well and gaskets look great.So far I’ve been using frozen foods to heat up. Cooks without letting any food smells escape. The lunchbox is a handy size and weight when full.Guessing the wattage of this product based upon stated wattage used by similar products, it seems like it uses 50-80 watts to heat a refrigerated meal in half an hour+ or a frozen meal in an hour or so. I just check on it, stir it, and add a tiny bit of water if needed. I expect it to take longer in winter.

Why don’t they offer extra food containers
Works ok, heating is slow but that’s something you can work around. Biggest problem is the lack of extra food continers. Seems like a missed opportunity. At the very least sell these as an option for a reasonable price. Would make meal prep so much easier than haveing to wash the container everyday if you want to use it.

While it was advertised as 220v it turned out to be only 110v suitable for use only in the USA. Don’t buy it if you live anywhere else. Very disappointing!

This is not 220v as listed on the product description and should not be sold in Saudi Arabia
