My boyfriend and I were planning to make fondue on Valentine's this year. I ordered this item a couple of days before Valentine's and even though shipping date was noted after Feb 20th. We received it on Feb 13th and were able to use it the next day! Great Service.

The item is wonderful and easy to use with simple instructions and a cookbook that gives you exact heat instructions. Recipes are simple and there is a lot of variety. It's easy to clean and store. The only problem is that it is too big for two people, but we still use it often and love it!

We were borrowing my in-laws 40 year old fondue pot before we received this. I definitely prefer that one (Waring) to this one.

Good
1) Heats very quickly.
2) Very large capacity which is good if you have 4+ adults
3) Looks nice

Bad
1) Rubber feet are VERY fragile. One came off and the exposed screw scratched the table
2) Heats unevenly
3) Too big if it's just the two of you. Also with such a large capacity it takes 2 packages of cheese to get enough fondue to dip - but that's far more than 2 people would normally eat.
4) This thing is designed to boil several pints of oil for oil Fondue so it's way too powerful for cheese. As a result it cycles on and off, intermittently overheating and then cooling off.
5) Cord is way too short. It says you're NOT supposed to use an extension, but who has an outlet within 16" inches of their dinner table?
