Malcom, I have owned both. I bought the supercheap one because it looked bigger and could heat top and bottom. I think the reality is that there is alost zero difference between the two. While in theory the supercheap one should heat the top better, I found that both work best if you swap the top and bottom layers over half way or don't try to stuff them full. Both take 4 pies.
The Jaycar one is definitely tuffer and both will do the job of heating pies and sausage rolls equally
well. Hence my thoughts on going back to Jaycar. The Supercheap one has a bit of an edge in keeping things warm.
I haven't had a Travel Buddy, It looks to big to shove in the back of the car, and it's over the top for heating pies unless you want to do more than 4. It may be useful for other bigger things too.
As an aside, change the plug form a cigeratte lighter style plug to merit, on both, their plugs get nearly as hot as the oven otherwise.
One other thing I did is buy the silicon BBQ sheets on ebay, then cut them up to fit the bottom. It stops the pies sticking. It works really
well.
