Other notable features include a built-in front bottle opener and 2 molded cup holders on the lid. Cup holders are something that we have been seeing less and less of in recent cooler models. This may be because they have some sort of impact on ice retention. But we are glad that Dewalt decided to include them even if it does cost some small amount of ice life. First of all, I was very very excited to get this item. After a deep searching of meal containers like this , this is one is good but not good enough. My container never reaches the 220F the most is 195 and I use it ALWAYS inside the insulated bag ( the basic one ) LunchEAZE saves time, less dishwashing, less energy usage, and it feels like my Mom made me a hot lunch every day! But either way, the latches are easy to open and close. This is helpful because you may only have 1 free hand to deal with the latches.

I absolutely LOVE my LunchEaze!! I work in a very busy hospital that employs more than 1800 people. Our cafeteria has 2 microwaves that are shared amongst the employees. The wait time to heat up our lunch can be long at times and we are only allowed 30 minutes so every minute is precious and the convenience of having a luncheaze is awesome! Now I don’t have to waste time in line trying to warm up my food. It warms up the food evenly to the last bite! I have never enjoyed bringing leftovers as much as I do now. I also like that I can take it anywhere with me. Just set it and go. This is especially useful for anyone who is always on the go and trying to stay away from fast food. I also like that it is simple to navigate. The Luncheaze phone app is a also plus. Convenience at your fingertips! This feature came in handy when I accidentally forgot to set a time for lunch so I was able to open up my phone app and use the “heat now” option. How cool is that! I highly recommend this product. You will find a built-in bottle opener on the front of all sizes. However, the high-flow drain plug isn’t in the smallest sizes.My 13 year old Son has had severe food allergies all his life. It has been a challenge to give him a decent lunch every school day. We found ourselves cooking a fresh protein and trying to squeeze it into one of the small thermoses every time. It might have been ok that he could make do when he was younger but as a growing young man, he needed more subsidence and variety. Who doesn’t appreciate variety? If you can put leftovers away after a meal, you can prepare your LunchEAZE container for tomorrow’s lunch. I recommend purchasing at least one extra container in case one is in the dishwasher. We do like that they included molded cup holders. This is something that we are seeing fewer and fewer cooler brands do.

In the styling department, we have to give the nod to Yeti. They have a much better selection of colors to choose from. If you aren’t a fan of the bright Dewalt yellow, then you may be disappointed. I’m currently serving in the US Navy and recently came home from deployment. After a ship deploys, often it will enter into a maintenance phase in which the galley (where we eat) on board will be closed. Because of this we are required to bring our own food. It is most vital on duty days when you aren’t able to leave the ship. I went online and just started looking at standard lunchboxes, something that would keep my food fresh when it was time to eat. However, our ship only has one microwave in the valley for the crew. I was having to wait 20-30 minutes every day just to have some mediocre food courtesy of chef mike. After doing some research for something that would save me the time and hopefully some better food I came across LunchEaze. I decided to give it a try and instantly fell in love with it. By lunchtime my food is heated to perfection with no wait and tastes as if I had just cooked it. Everyone I work with saw it and wanted one to some even buying one themselves. It saves so much time and money. I can’t imagine a duty day or even a regular work day without my LunchEaze now. Yeti Coolers seem to have similar (if only slightly better) ice retention than Dewalt. The differences are negligible and most people likely wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in typical real-world applications. Not only that but there aren’t any sort of customization options when it comes to custom logos, sports team colors, etc. We can warm up his food whether it’s frozen or not and he has a hot meal anywhere, anytime. We even bought an inverter to charge it in the car. For the first time, we were able to enjoy a camping trip as a family without stressing about what our son is going to eat. This is the best thing we could have asked for!Durable and 100% leak-proof: this soft cooler bag has been upgraded with fabrics and accessories. the outer wear / water resistant oxford fabric is very durable. customized ykk zipper is smooth to open and close. both shoulder strap and handle are double stitched with a load-bearing of 44bl. 100% leakproof aluminum foil lining and the heat-pressed seams to guard against... Then something wonderful started to happen after about 35 minutes, I started to get little whiffs of what was “cooking.” Dewalt certainly has the build quality to compete and they have enough features to be comparable to other higher-end cooler brands, but how well do they perform when it comes to retaining ice? In the above image, you can also see another common feature that is also present on Dewalt Coolers: a drain plug. This drain plug is placed on the side of these coolers. Unfortunately, the smallest sizes (10 and 25 quarts) don’t have a drain plug.

It is a close call, but we have to give a slight nod to Dewalt. We love Yeti Coolers but they are just so expensive. Dewalt gives you comparable performance, build quality, and features at a lower price. And they also have name recognition similar to Yeti. Well since we don’t have access to a microwave, we searched and searched until we came across this amazing lunch box from Luncheaze . It’s rechargeable so that means we don’t have to worry about it being plugged in AT ALL to use it. We just charge it and it’s ready to go with 2.5 hours of warm time. Oh and it’s Bluetooth so I can turn it on from another room or pre-set what time I want to eat and it’s ready when I go get it. However, similar to other Dewalt products, you will be limited to their bright yellow brand color as your only color choice. If you are someone that likes the eye-popping hue of yellow then this may not be a bad thing. But for someone who doesn’t want yellow, then this may be a deterrent. Price – Dewalt is one of the few brands out there that have a reputable name like Yeti. While Yeti is the go-to brand name for many people when it comes to ice chests, Dewalt can say the same thing about other types of products.Considering their performance and features, we are OK with this asking price. There are coolers out there that will offer longer ice life, have more features to enjoy, and have more customization options. But these coolers also tend to cost a bit more.
