This holiday we wound up hosting more parties than I would have thought possible, so my husband and I purchased this item and the similar Deni 3-section server. Both trays were great at keeping food warm, and more than one guest swore they were going to rush off and buy them as well. They clean up easily and were the hits of the party. My one complaint is that on the temperature dial, the "off" setting does not work. The only way to turn the unit off is to unplug it from the wall. (It seems to work fine on the 3-tray unit so it's apparently a fluke.) Still, I'm not the type to leave heating appliances plugged in when not in use to begin with, so I'm not overly concerned. You probably shouldn't leave these running unattended in the first place. Fabulous purchases and highly recommended.
