I bought this mug to replace a similar item that had stopped heating. The new mug looks the same on the outside, but the interior is plastic rather than stainless steel. The visible plastic rim should have tipped me off, but I wouldn't have thought it could turn out this bad. It heats up just fine, but when it does, my coffee tastes more like plastic than like coffee. I tried washing it a couple times and heating up some soapy water in it, but the plastic taste remains. Keep searching until you find a heated mug that you can confirm has a non-plastic interior.

This heated car mug worked well for a couple of weeks, but then the connection between the mug and a wire stopped working. Something wrong with the connecting parts. It just does not stay connected. The connection between the wire and a car (sigarett outlet) works well. But it does not help much, because the wire does not connect to the mug, so it does not do the intended job. My coffe is cold.

This the second time I have purchased this item.
The first one worked until water got in the inside of the shell. While I am not sure whether or not someone put it in the dishwater (probably a no no) the fact is that I was using the cup plugged in with my left arm on the open window frame of my car and when the cup touch my lip I recieved a shock to my arm.
Trashed that one and bought the second one 2 weeks ago.
This one must have a faulty thermostat because the outer shell gets too hot to touch.
Also, the electrical conection in the handle has broken free making it very difficult to attach the plug.
Don't think I'll try for #3.

When I first bought this mug, I heated water in it to test it. It heated the water just fine but it smelled AWFUL - kinda' like a tire. I've been filling the mug repeatedly with boiling water and it's getting better. I'm looking forward to using the mug soon when the smell is completely leeched out. However, I would strongly recommend you just buy a different mug and spare yourself the effort.

The product, a self heating coffee cup with car charger, apparently in original packaging, was in two pieces and I was able to see the shoddy and possible dangerous wiring on the product. Another "made in china" mistake purchased!

This little cup keeps my coffee HOT and I do mean hot! I despise cold or lukewarm coffee and this does the trick for me. I think it would even heat up room temperature coffee. I wish it was stainless steel inside as well as outside but it works and that's the thing. My first cup failed after 2 or 3 days but the company sent me another right away. Good customer service! No more cold beverages in the car. You can jump out, do your errands and come back and still drink your coffee.
Wonderful.

Avoid this one like the plague unless you just want to waste your money. You get what you pay for and this one is cheap. It lasted less time than it took the product to arrive-3 weeks. It heated fine until it just stopped. Not sure if its the heating element in the cup or the cord, but it's not worth getting fixed. It's now a decent stainless steel cup with no heating function. Save yourself the hassle and just read the reviews and pay a little more for one with better reviews. I'm going to try to find one made in the US by a reputable manufacturer-might be impossible, but I'll give it a try.

Well made and holds previously heated coffee good, but is slow to re-heat cooled coffee using car's outlet. Overall, I'm satisfied.

mug gets way too hot.I think it would boil if it was pluged in and unattended.also bottom of mug gets too hot,poorly insulated.

These things don't last. I bought this to replace a similar one that we had given my mom. This thing didn't even last a month. Her original one (don't know if it was the same make-- probably not) lasted quite awhile so I was hoping this one would as well even though I read a bunch of negative reviews. No such luck.
