Makita Cordless Microwave
Yearning for a hot lunch at work but there’s no microwave or power cord in sight? Makita’s new cordless microwave is a solution to both of those problems. Instead of requiring AC, it draws power from a pair of Makita XGT 40-volt rechargeable batteries, allowing it to heat up to 11 meals, or 20 drinks—assuming neither are completely frozen. The 20-pound microwave isn’t exactly lightweight, and at launch it’s only going to be available in Japan. It’s also got a steep price tag of around $540.
