What's with the bad reviews? This thing rocks.
I'm honestly very confused about the bad reviews on this warmer. Some of them are angry that it gets too hot (um, isn't that the point of it?) and others complain that there's no coffee cup included. YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE A MUG. Do you usually drink your coffee out of a glass? Still others say the switch is too far down the cord. Maybe that was true in older models. Here's the actual truth about this warmer: 1. It gets hot. It heats my coffee to 120 degrees. 2. The less coffee in the mug, the hotter it gets. 3. The switch is about 2 inches from the base of the unit. 4. The heat plate gets up to 160 degrees around the edges, and 245 degrees in the center. 5. The base of the unit gets up to 210 degrees (don't try to pick it up while it's on). 6. The unit heats my desk under it up to about 130 degrees (not nearly enough to damage it). 7. Despite the modesty of the manufacturer, this thing WILL heat up your coffee when it's cold/luke-warm -- it just takes a little while. 8. The cord is about 3.5' long. 9. The bottom of the unit has plastic feet, as mentioned in another review, but they are not going to damage your furniture. If you're that paranoid, you can buy felt stickies from CVS or any hardware store and voila. Bottom line: If you want hot coffee and you're not going to be setting this unit down on a paper back book or a pile of matches or something, this is for you. If you're worried about something that's supposed to get hot... uh, getting hot.. then don't buy this. Edit: Attached images showing that the switch is indeed 2" from the base of the unit.
