When the product does exactly what it is advertised as, it great for my work life

Works fantastic

Being on a carnivore diet, I needed a mechanism to cook my lunch at work without using a microwave or having a toaster oven etc. This cooks all of my food from raw to finished in about an hour, depending on your cooking preferences. No mess, no smells in the office. My staff is so impressed by it they are looking to buy one for themselves. This is by far one of the best convenience items I have purchased.

The HotLogic is awesome! I plug it in when I get to work and by noon my food is heated to perfection!

Love this! Put my frozen lunch in it and it is ready by lunch time! Great for frozen TV dinners!!

La utilizo para mi trabajo y es muy práctica tanto en espacio al acomodarla en mi maletín, como en tiempo al momento de calentar mis alimentos.

After 27 years, I've decided to try camping again. I have to gear up, but I'm not ready to spring for a stove. I'm not thrilled with the idea of buying and storing propane. The small tanks most camp stoves use are more than I'm willing to pay for or deal with. Will an electric lunchbox do the trick? I hope so...at least for a weekend excursion now and then.I have two Bluetti EB3A batteries. Each stores 268 watt hours when 100% charged. I have a solar panel, but what if it's cloudy the entire weekend? So I'm trying to figure out if I can comfortably camp an entire weekend on two batteries if I don't charge them. Yes, I could charge them with my car, but I'm there to hike...not drive so I don't drain the car battery while charging the Bluettis.With that in mind, I did a rough test to see what I can do with this electric lunchbox. I thought I'd share my results so others have a general idea of whether this could work for them. Keep in mind that this is a really rough test, and there are so many variables that my results may not match yours if you did something similar.I had 1 cup of homemade stew in an Oxo Good Grips 1.6 cup glass storage container. The stew was about an inch deep and had thawed in the refrigerator overnight. It was fully thawed when I heated it in the lunchbox the next morning.During the test, the lunchbox consistently drew 43 watts from my battery. My battery holds 268 watt hours.At 25 minutes, it had used 11% of my battery, and the stew felt room temperature when I ate a bite.At 35 minutes, it had used 16% of my battery, and the stew felt warm when I ate a bite.At 45 minutes, it had used 20% of my battery, and the stew felt hot when I ate a bite. Not piping hot, have to blow on it hot. Just pleasantly hot. At this point I stopped, because I wouldn't waste my battery making something so hot it had to cool before I could eat it.Note that the lunchbox instructions say that spreading more thinly in a larger container will heat faster, because more of the container will be in contact with the hot plate. My container only took up half the lunchbox.However, I bought a three cup Pyrex rectangular container that would cover the entire heat pad in the lunchbox. So I think if I transfer the stew to that for heating, it will use less battery power. I'm not going to bother with that test for now, as I prefer to leave myself a wide margin of error with my estimation on whether I can camp a full weekend with two batteries without charging. That said, I don't think it will cut power consumption in half, because you have to figure that there is more glass to heat in a larger container. Maybe it will save me a third, however, which is worthwhile if you're faced with a cloudy weekend and no solar charging, so you're trying to conserve energy.If I really like this lunchbox for camping and I start going a lot, I think I'll also look for a metal container. Heck, maybe I'll even do that now. Metal cooking containers are thinner and conduct heat faster, so it should use a lot less energy than the glass containers. That might work better for my purposes.I think if I were driving around all day, though, and powering off of the car, a glass container would be my preference. I like glass for storage, so in that scenario, it would nice to store meal-sized portions in glass and then pop that into the lunchbox.I hope this helps someone! Happy camping. :-)

I got this for cooking in hotel rooms when I travel. I was very skeptical about it - it frankly sounded too good to be true. And it took me FOREVER to find non-plastic containers that would work with it - a 6 cup Pyrex is perfect. But I tried it for the first time today with a frozen dinner (leftovers from my home cooking), and it worked great! I put it in completely frozen, plugged it in and six hours later: Hot, delicious dinner! I only gave it four stars because it was so hard and time consuming to find a container for it - who wants to heat plastic for hours? And I wish it would come with both a 12v plug AND a wall plug, since most people will want this for mobile purposes. For the price, though, this is definitely worth it. I was also surprised that my heavily spiced meal did not smell up the bag itself nor the rest of the house (I tried it at home before going on the road). They could make a lot more sales I think if they would make it easy to order a metal or glass container that fits inside.

I love this small food warmer tote! I work a lot of hours, I tend to eat my lunch at my desk and I get so involved in my work that I forget about eating sometimes. So before, after heating up my food in the communal office microwave, across the other side of the building, it would quickly get cold again, and I’d often eat cold or cooled down food for lunch. With this wonderful small food warmer I pop in my food to heat it up, continue to work, and it’s hot and ready to eat 30-40 minutes later. If I get busy with work, it stays hot until I’m ready to eat it, or I just pop it in again to re-warm it up, not having to go across to the other side of the building to use the dirty, communal microwave. During COVID I feel safer not having to walk through the various hallways and into the commonly used kitchen, and not having to touch the commonly used microwave. I keep this warmer at work, so I’m only bringing my food to work, same as I did before. It heats up food better than the microwave, even pizza heats up with a little crisp, unlike out of a microwave. And I love the fact that I can heat up food in almost any type of container or wrapper without worries. I use it to mainly reheat already cooked food for lunch/dinner at work, and it works very well for that. I haven’t yet cooked anything from raw yet. For as much as I’ll be using this warmer, it’s well worth the price. Although, I did purchase this one at a discounted price, below the usual $39.99 price. I’ll be getting another one for use at hotels when road-tripping or traveling. This is one of the most useful and reasonably priced items I’ve purchased on Amazon.

Awesome thing to have.

My husband is a long haul truck driver and his new company truck has no room for his microwave. I bought this and it works perfectly. He can heat up all kinds of frozen meals right in the cardboard box they come in or meals that I cook for him that are just in plastic containers. The frozen meals take about 2 hours but he just plugs it in afew hours before he wants to eat and it stays warm if he isn't ready to eat it. Does not overcook things. Its great because you can use any make of container in it, whether its glass or plastic, cardboard or foil. He hasn't cooked anything in it yet that wasn't already cooked except eggs which works really well too. Just beat a couple of eggs and threw some onions and peppers in a plastic container with the lid and left it overnight and he had an omelet ready for him in the morning.

Does an awesome job. I just plug it in about 1 1/2 before lunch and voila. Heated to the right temperature all the time

Works great especially for airline crew that are sick of eating in restaurants. Heats food up excellent and so small to pack. Would recommend this to anyone.
