it gets hot, but it doesn't heat up a traditional coffee mug. AND the surface area isn't big enough for most coffee mugs, most of my mugs don't fit. do not buy this product, i'm sure there's something else out there for your beverage heating needs.

I got this as a holiday gift. I thought it was a great idea when I first saw it, but the performance did not live up to the idea. The surface does get warm -- just not warm enough to actually affect the temperature of my tea. Maybe if you were using a very thin china cup, or a metal mug, but the heat just isn't strong enough to get through the traditional ceramic, and I've tried several different cups.

It does work right away, when plugged in, there were no problems there, so at least it wasn't broken. I guess.

This warmer is useless. I still use it thinking that it might actually do something, but I am saddened daily by the lack of heat it gives off.
The only good thing about it is that it turns on and off as I shut down my computer so I never have to worry about leaving it on. (but in reality it doesnt heat up all that much anyways, so who cares if I leave it on!)

I just purchased this warmer, thought technology had really made a come up. This item is a waste of money, it doesn't even get hot enough to burn your finger to touch. DON'T BUY! NOT WORTH 1 STAR.
DON'T BUY

Ditto, ditto and ditto to all the others - this will not keep your beverage hot thus is absolutely useless, and I wouldn't dream of foisting it off on my favorite charity. If you absolutely must have one, either get a different kind or just go ahead and throw your cash in the trash and save yourself the trouble of buying. I would think electric would be better.

This is a good idea but that's all it is, an idea. This thing looks good but doesn't work worth a CRAP. Well, it does heat up but not enough to warm ANYTHING and none of my coffee cups fit. You have to have a TINY coffee cup for it to fit; my girlfriend let me use one of hers to try this thing out and it gets hot (if by 'hot' you mean barely warm), just not hot enough to do any good. You can touch the thing and it doesn't even burn. Don't waste your money.

It is too small for most coffee cups. I found one to fit it only find that it didn't keep my coffee warm at all.

Bought this exact item for less money through a (okay, THE) popular auction site, but even at that greatly reduced price I paid too much. As a warmer it is utterly useless; the only way it could possibly keep my tea warm is if I dumped the tea directly onto it, which I suspect would shorten its life not to mention making quite a mess on my desk. As a USB hub, you can get better-quality hubs that take up less space for a lot less money. Yet another of my poor impulse purchasing decisions.

One of the tags for this item is "gift idea," which is appropriate only if you're looking for a gag/white elephant gift or buying it for someone you truly despise. "Decorations" is a much more accurate tag, since it's much more decorative than functional.

Like others I thought it would be good because I wouldnt have to worry about turning it off and on- it would just turn off when I turn off my computer at work each day. I use dishwater hotter than this thing gets. I literally can put my hand on it without getting burned. I hate that I have to give this even one star. I plan to look for another. I hope there is a different brand of USB warmer out there that gets hot.

This one just doesn't seem to have the power necessary to really keep a cup of coffee warm. But my guess is that they didn't ramp up the power for safety reasons. Also don't think about using this on an unplugged laptop as it will drain your power in a heartbeat.

My recommendation would be just to go with one that plugs into the wall.
