Huge fan of the Hot Logic Mini - used it for many years (way back in the office days ). Brought homemade (refrigerated or frozen) food in a plastic container, stuck in the warmer in the AM, piping hot at lunch time.

What equipment do you have, if any? Toaster oven? Microwave?

could you describe why its better then a crockpot? my ears are open

[Euclid]

could you describe why it's better than a crockpot? my ears are open

Sure
1) it's a much better shape for a meal container that you can eat directly out of such as this, which can fit multiple items e.g a piece of chicken, a side dish, and vegetables. So you can prep a whole week's worth of meals and leave in your freezer/fridge and just pop it into the warmer when you get to work.
2) it's a lower temp than a crockpot so it won't burn your food. A crockpot is designed to cook food, this is designed to warm food.
3) much more portable than a crockpot, so if someone is moving around a lot (e.g. a traveling consultant) it's easy to put in your briefcase.

thanks, now what food did you enjoy most in it?

I'm boring, so I mostly had chicken with vegetables and a side. But you can experiment

The disadvantage of a warmer (obviously) is that crispy food loses its crisp because of the steam. So don't warm up french fries in there, unless you like poutine

I have a private office would invest in both if it made sense.

Does it make your office smell like whatever you're heating up?

[Euclid]

Nope. Doesn't smell till you open the container.

poutine fries are supposed to be crispy

I would usually bring leftovers to work.
