Makita has announced the launch of its DCW180Z 18V Cordless Cooler & Warmer Box, which is ideal for keeping food and drinks cool or warm in any season.
The company’s new 20-litre Cooler & Warmer Box has two 18V LXT battery ports, so you can attach two batteries in series for extended operating times. When the first battery is depleted, the unit automatically switches to the second battery.
This model can also be powered via 240v mains or with an in-vehicle 12v / 24v AC socket. When set at 5°C (normal fridge temperature), the cooler will run for up to 17 hours with two x 6.0Ah batteries.
The Cooler & Warmer Box can hold approximately 30 cans, or 15 x 600ml water bottles.
The solution can operate at two warming settings of 55° and 60°, with five cooling settings of -18°, -10°, 0°, 5° and 10°. The unit can run at its coldest setting of -18° for five hours, and its warmest setting of 60° for around four hours.
The box features large 100mm wheels and a pull handle for convenient transport, and side grips for easy lifting, as well as a comfortable shoulder strap. It is highly durable for outdoor use, with an IPX4 rating.
The solution is fitted with a convenient LED display, to provide users with temperature, battery levels and easily changeable settings at the touch of a button.
The new release forms part of a wider collection of new cordless solutions from Makita this year. For example, the company has recently announced a range of new products, including the TW004GZ XGT 40VMax Impact Wrench, the DUR368LZ Twin 18V (36V) LXT Linetrimmer, and the PDC01 Portable LXT Power Supply Backpack.
