More of a novelty than it is practical

This device is more of a novelty than it is practical. The warmer is not very warm and will not keep drinks hot. The holder is only 2.25 inches deep and only the bottom 1.3 inches does the actual cooling and heating. The cold setting does get nice and cold but, since it is only doing this at the bottom, and heat rises, it provides marginal cooling of your can or slender bottle. You can forget about using it to hold big fountain drinks as they won't reach the bottom of the unit which means no cooling or heating for those. It needs more engineering. First, it needs to cool drinks at least 5 inches up the sides of beverages and secondly, it needs to fit larger containers. I hope the pictures help you with your decision. Good luck shopping.
