Finally moving on from Ember.

I'm not even sure when I bought my first ember mug, maybe six years ago? I've gone through more than half a dozen since then. I always have at least two in rotation, one for my morning coffee and one for evening tea in my bedroom.

I think I am finally moving on. I discovered the Walmart version. While it doesn't have the app and features of Ember, its less than $30 and I can get three for the price of one Ember mug. My only annoyance is it seems I have to manually turn it on when I use it. I have another Ember base crap out when a broken pin spring not pushing up anymore. I've only had the Walmart brand a short time but its doing the job. I'm not trying to push it, just wanted to let people know who keep multiple mugs to check it out. I noticed the price of Ember dropping and wonder if its on its way out. For the price, I shouldn't have bases stop working. I'm glad there's finally decent competition now.

Anyone else moving on?
