We bought the bottle warmer as an alternative to 12V bottle warmers for the car, which had consistently bad reviews. This part is really a great buy and worth every penny. The thermos keeps the water really hot during the day, when we are traveling. If I want to touch a bottle, so I always have hot water and a bottle of milk or a glass is heated everywhere quickly and easily. So very versatile and there without electricity at any location! Thumbs up!
