FW152S

I bought this "Used - Like New" from Amazon Warehouse, and it was indeed like new, although the box it came in - not a cardboard shipping box but a thin flimsy cardboard retail packaging box like you'd see it on a store shelf - was so badly damaged with tears and missing pieces I thought there'd be no way it would be useable and not damaged. But it was OK inside. I tested it out with two medium plates, that's all that will fit comfortably, first turning the temperature control all the way up. I measured with an infrared laser thermometer which has always been quite accurate. It started heating up right away and within a minute or two the metal surface was too hot to touch comfortably, so it heats up fast. The plate on the right was just under boiling after 10 minutes, around 205-210 degrees F. The plate on the left was right around 180 degrees F, so the heating while not perfectly even seems OK to me. Note that at these temperatures the plates can be too hot to handle easily so you may need potholders if you are going to remove them! Then I turned the temperature control to halfway, let it stabilize for 10 minutes, and measured the right plate at 140 F and the left plate at 130 F. I did note that as the heating element cycled on and off (the light goes on when heating), the plates would get maybe 20 F cooler for a short while, the temperatures can vary a bit. The plates and the metal surface are hot to touch at these temperatures but won't burn you. Then I tried heating it back up, this time to 3/4 of the way. After 10 minutes I measured the right plate at 170 F, the left plate at 160 F. Both plates could be handled OK but the metal surface was too hot to touch comfortably. Then I turned it to minimum and unplugged it. In 5 minutes it had cooled off. I don't think I'd ever use the minimum setting - probably you need halfway or more to get decent heating based on my temperature measurements. I would buy this again. Mine has a good temperature range, it works well, it does what it's supposed to without any unnecessary frills or controls, the build quality seems good, the appearance is good. I like it!

Excellent product, sleek, and just the right size. It heats up quickly, and provides even heat. Fast shipping. Thanks for great service.

The chafing dishes were large enough to keep my food warm while preparing other dishes. Light weight and temperature settings worked very well. The warmer did not take up much space at all. I put it on a card table and enough space around for salad size dishes, napkins, forks, knives etc. Clean up very easy. Storing also great Doesn't take up much space. I only plan on using when having several functions a year. If using on a regular basis I would not recommend as the structure of warmer and chafing dishes are not heavy duty, however, I figured that out when ordering. as the price was very reasonable. For my use it was perfect.

Short cord about 18 inches. Temperature seems pretty constant. Feet on the bottom are tall enough not to worry about scorching the table. The warmer is very light and cools quickly when finished. Metal feels thin but have had no issues. Have not used the highest temperature to know how it does.

Works just fine. Inexpensive.

I was so looking forward to using this! But was a little disappointed in the lids, how cheap they seemed in comparison to the bottom of tray, the good thing is that you can place a pan on the bottom of warmer without even using divider trays, and this worked out well!

Easy of clean

Replaced and older tray for an avid baker. Was warm almost instantly so has increased her productivity. The adjustable setting has made it nice for her to use for different types of dough as se uses these to speed rising times of different bake goods.

Works well. Food is warm

I didn't realise until I unpacked it that it had an American plug and works on 120v. Is that safe?

I was extremely disappointed in this warming tray. I only used it about six times before it stopped working. Unless you live in the USA don't bother buying it. It was bloody expensive to return. Not happy Jan (you would have to live in Australia to appreciate that comment).

Does not work! Dont buy

came with a American plug, waste of time, threw it in the bin...
