Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have an older mug warmer that my wife bought at Brookstone (pictured on the left in the photos). It has worked well for many years, but it is no longer being sold. So, I picked up this VOBAGA one for my desk at work. Before bringing it in to the office I did some side-by-side testing and measurements with my old reliable one. As you can see in the photo, the VOBAGA warmer gets hotter than the Brookstone warmer when they are both on their highest setting, although the heat is less evenly distributed on the VOBAGA warmer than on the older warmer. When my mug was down to about ¼ full and the warmer was still on "high" setting, the remaining tea was still around 170º (I like it hot). This was with a typical ceramic mug with a slightly concave base. If you were using a completely flat-bottom mug you would see even better performance. I also like the look of the warmer. It has clean lines and a nice compact package. The touch-sensitive buttons work well and the hot plate is large enough for any normal-sized mug. I can't yet speak to reliability, but as far as performance and form factor goes, I'm giving this a thumbs up.
