Works Well, OK Price
This warmer definitely keeps my tea warm all day - no problems there. I do, I have to say, live in fear of leaving it on one day and burning down the office...but I guess that's unavoidable. The worrying bit. Not the burning down the office bit. One hopes.Although I can't compare it to other warmers, I will say that, with shipping, it comes out pricier than I would have liked for what it is (especially since it only has a power cord, not a usb cord). But all in all, it was a useful purchase.
Warms, Doesn't Heat
When shaving with a straight razor, I mix lather in a ceramic bowl. I wanted a heating pad to keep the lather warm. Coffee heating pads are usually too hot, and they dry the lather. However, I was intrigued by another reviewer who said this product didn't keep coffee warm. Maybe, it would heat lather, but not overheat it?And, this mug warmer works perfectly! It keeps my lather warm, and not hot.But, for heating coffee? Not so good... :(
Lukewarm to Cold Coffee
This coffee warmer is expensive, I don't care if they do give you a mug with it, it's too much money. I've tried 3 different cups including theirs and it doesn't keep the coffee warm. Even when the cup is almost empty, the coffee is only lukewarm. The warming plate is kinda hot to touch with your fingers but it won't do anything for the cup or coffee in the cup. Not a good buy even if it was half price. You're wasting your money buying this.
Poor sound quality akin to an 8 track
A poor introduction to Jefferson Airplane. I was drawn to the group by "White Rabbit" with the haunting vocals of Grace Slick but 90% of the C.D. is unimaginative garbage and I recommend talking to some folks familiar with the Airplane's body of work and purchasing selected albums (CD's). As an introduction to the groups body of work, this is a waste of your money.
Too Much. Way Too Much.
This would be a great album if they stuck to the 12 best songs (White Rabbit, Somebody, etc.). Instead, we get two cds chock full of rubbish. Face it, this band's post-1970 recordings were irrelevant (if you don't think so, just listen to We Built This City). Save your money! Get Volunteers and Bless It's Pointed Little Head.
2.5 Stars
Sorry I don't believe in rounding up for the "offical" rating. Anyway, there are LOTS of good songs here, but unfortunately, there are LOTS of bad songs as well... probably about 2/3 of the songs aren't too great, but the ones that are good more than make up for the bad songs! The good songs are GREAT!
