This item started out great after a week or two it stop working just like the first one I had bought.. It's has no replacement … bad product

This is really a great idea! As a retired nurse, I can’t tell you how many times I needed this bag. Sure, there was a microwave in the breakroom, but even the time to heat something in that microwave took too much time, or there was a line of other staff waiting to use it. With this little bag, lunch is warm and ready to eat without waiting. Simply plug it in and the food will be ready when you are. Now that I’m retired, I’m part of a group that meets monthly and we bring treats to share. My difficulty was in bringing something warm because it wasn’t still warm by the time we were ready to eat.This is a small bag, really about the same size as those old-fashioned metal lunch boxes we had when I was a kid. Its a nice looking black color, a padded handle on top, and has a shoulder carry strap. The lining is metallic silver, and includes cables for standard USA outlets or can plug into a car’s lighter outlet. The heating element is a black flat panel at the bottom. When storing, the sides can fold in so it can be collapsed and stored fairly flat. As mentioned before, this bag is quite small. A small pie would NOT fit (not wide enough). I figure I can simply line the inside with foil and with using more foil to make multiple layers, this should hold more than enough lunch for one person, or enough snacks or appetizers for a small gathering.The power cable extends from the heating panel at bottom. There is a large grommet built into the front of the bag to feed this cable through into another zipper pocket. The zipper allows the cable to feed through to the outside while not allowing much heat to escape. There is only one switch… a toggle on oroff, no way to set a specific temperature. For my test, I propped a cooking temperature probe inside the bag and had it elevated so it actually measured the temperature of the space inside the bag, not the heating element on the bottom. The temperature fairly quickly rose and maxed out at 130.8 F, then slowly dropped to 124.3. Apparently this is designed to maintain a range of temperature and the temp fluctuates within that range. When the probe sat on the bottom of the bag, directly on the heating pad, the temperature ranged from 136.0 to 153.5F. During this test and use afterward, I can detect no odors and the bag remained completely cool to touch on the outside.As mentioned above, this bag is very close to the size of the old metal school lunch boxes that many of us carried as children. Fortunately this was designed differently with the handle on the top of the lid, and the carry strap is attached at the sides so the contents of the bag aren’t disturbed when carrying it.My only objection is that it is small, really perfect for lunch for one or two individuals. Bringing warm food to a gathering is possible but not easy. Really wish this was a bit larger, especially large enough for a pie and larger dishes. But I can make it work for my needs. Due to size, deducting one star, so FOUR stars!I hope you found this review to be helpful. Thanks for reading!!

I've used this several times and this really gets hot! It's great for transporting a hot meal to work and prepping it right at my desk. Usually there's a wait for the microwave at work and having this allows me to heat up my meal right from my desk. The hot plate inside the bag really heats up hot and will warm up anything perfectly and get it piping hot. As a plus side, I also hate the microwave and this allows me to warm it up differently as chicken doesn't microwave all that well. It cleans up very easily as everything can be wiped down with a wet paper towel.One recommendation I would make to the manufacturer would be including some kind of temperature control as there is only an on and off switch so you can't precisely regulate the temperature.

after 1 hour the food wasn't really warm, pretty much like using sunlight to warm your food
