Reviewed by GuestFebruary 22, 2011 Being an over-the-road driver I carried one of these for awhile in order to make coffee and hot cereal. It actually heats pretty well, and is a much better product than the previous one I had. However after about 3 months of 3-4 times a week use, it started to leak through the base and into the heating element. After that it quit completely. As this happened with 2 of these in a row, I tend to believe it's a design flaw. For occasional use, it's probably well worth it, but if you use it regularly, expect to replace it every couple of months. Helpful? 12 0

Reviewed by GuestOctober 22, 2010 Just got this little 12 volt. pot for heating water, soup, etc. and didn't expect much since I had a recent bad experience with a 12 volt. coffee maker that, after waiting over an hour for something to happen, didn't work at all. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! This little unit is well-made and has some very nice features, such as being able to remove the pot from the base for easy cleaning. I also like the fact that, as well as an "on" light, the pot lights up with a white light to let you know that it is seated correctly on the base. It also has a nice safety feature in that it will shut off if there's not enough water, so it won't "burn dry." Best thing, though, is that it really does work! It does take longer with 12 volt. units, but that's to be expected. However, in less than half an hour the water was bubbling merrily away! I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it. Helpful? 14 0
