Others say...
"Great first pot" If you are looking for a first or only fondue pot, this would be a very good choice. The advantage of an electric pot is the ability to control the temperature more precisely and easily, which is a big advantage. The design of this set, with the wider open mouth, does classic cheese or chocolate fondue as well as can be expected, and 8 people can easily use this set (fondue with a group requires teamwork, part of the fun). Usually the pots designed specifically for hot oil fondue have a fluted or more narrow opening, to reduce splattering. This set will work for hot oil also, but for only 3 or 4 people (with hot oil each person is leaving two forks in at a time, as opposed to dip & pull with cheese or chocolate), and with a little more clean up maybe. The pot is easy to clean, and you can put it on the stove to get the contents started and up to temperature, then using the warmer to keep them at temp, a easier way to go. The big disadvantage on electric pots, somehow the cord must go from the center of the table down to the electirc outlet, which never really seems to be an issue. You can have a lot of fun with this reliable and good all around pot. Fondue pots that work off candle or sterno heat can be more romantic, but much harder to control. This is really a good pot to have or to start with. My wife lived in Switzerland for 3 years, home of fondue. We have several pots, we use this one the most often. Order some extra forks while you are at it. Fondue is great fun. "Fonue fun" This is a great Fondue Pot. I wanted this one because I am not one that should be using open flames for anything, candles in my house are bad enough! The Pot sits on 2 heat resistant legs so you need not worry about overheating the table or counter top the Pot is sitting on. It is also easily moved from one spot to another since its handles are heat resistant, great for going from eating at dining table to lounging in front of the television. The Pot is also easliy cleaned, just stick it int he dishwasher. If you do not have a dishwasher, I highly, HIGHLY recomend using Dawn Powerscrubber. Spray the magic gel-like stuff on the pot, let it set while you clean up the rest of the stuff, then just wipe it off. I love this stuff!! The only problem I had with the forks that come with the pot is the coloured tips on 2 came off and were lost. The color tips are for knowing who has which fork. I improvised with some paint. My other problem has been what one other reviewer complained about, the detachable cord can become detached from the heating element and you do not know this until whatever you are Fondueing has hardened, UGH. Overal I am quite pleased with this Pot, I use it as often as I can. You don't need guest to make a regualar dinner special. I'm rating this product four stars rather than five, because I think the temperature control might be overly sensitive. It always got too hot or too cold, and I could never get it just right. Also, the detachable electric cord is a little too easily detachable--it came loose and stopped heating without my noticing a few times. All in all, though, a great product. The flame-under-the-pot may be more festive and traditional, but this nonstick electric model is absolutely worth it.

What our customer's say! "Health Hazard", This product is a health hazard. The magnetic plug which sounds like a good idea (greater safety) does not stay connected securely. If you touch the pot or move it ever so slightly the pot looses power and the temperature in the put will fall. I purchased three of these for an event and it was endlessly frustrating to keep the pots connected. At one time I bit into raw chicken because the pot became unconnected and the cooking liquid was only warm instead of hot. Poor design, stay away. "Boil Baby Boil", I bought this pot a year ago and have now used it several times. The positive features: It holds 3 quarts so it holds enough broth for 4 people to easily cook at the same time. It has a thermostat. It is non-stick. It is easy to clean. It cooks cheese fondues without scorching****. The Negatives: Too big to use for Chocolate Fondue. The thermostat is very finicky. It is seemingly either boiling or off, but with much fiddling you can get it to keep cheese warm. The cord constantly falls off. Overall I think it is worth the money, just be warned it may drive you insane trying to get the temperature to the correct setting, and you will loathe the cord. If you are in need of a big pot, this is a fair buy. Buy a smaller (1.5 quart) for some appetizer and dessert fondues as this one is way to big. "Pretty - but pretty useless", Looks very nice and sturdy coming out of the box. I liked the idea of the immersible pot for easy cleaning. However, the electrical unit falls off too easily - in fact, the cord is placed so that it knocks itself off. But the worst part is the heat control. Despite Warm, Simmer, and 250 up to 300 degrees, in reality there are two temperatures: hot to the boiling point or OFF. At "Warm," it kept at a constant rolling boil. Basically ruined the fondue and I wasted $13 on cheese, not to mention $40 on the pot. The instructions were also useless: One section says not to detach the electrical unit until the pot cools. Another says not to move the pot unless the electric unit is detached. A poorly designed mechanism, and this pot is going back to the store tomorrow. "What are these people talking about?", EXCUSE ME.....PEOPLE...the detachable cord is the best part of the whole thing....!!! It magnetically holds to the leads of the unit..so the cord detaches not allowing the pot to move an inch...which when filled with hot "anything" is one of the best safety features I have ever seen engineeered..So what about if you detach it..if you cant see that it is detached..you certainly don't need to fondue..just stick it back on..Gee whiz!! "Fondue Failure", I really thought I would like this product when I got it out of the box. It's looks well made and looked easy to use. I followed instructions and cleaned it throughly and put my recipe misture and miniture sausages in it to slowly heat and to use as an appetizer. I put the the heat setting on warm as I was not in a hurry and I left the room for about 5 minutes. When I came back there was mixture all over my cabinets, counters, etc. and what was left was boiling and sputtering like mad. I later found out that no matter what heat setting I used it would over heat. I cannot recommend this product to anyone I'm sorry to say.
