Why this one
Five reasons it earns its place
A knob, not a row of buttons
Most warmers give you three or four fixed heat settings. This one has a knob, so the melt speed and the glow move smoothly between a slow evening simmer and a fast fill.
Black glass, so it stays out
Metal and glass in a metallic black finish reads as a small dark lamp rather than a kitchen gadget.

Stepless dimmer knob, not fixed stepsA knob rather than three fixed steps, so heat and glow move smoothly between them.
