Cordless Heated & Chilled Kids Lunch Box with Ice Pack and Timer
Product description
Two temperature zones in one lunch box: a dedicated cordless heating compartment and a separate cold section that accepts the included reusable ice pack. The cold insert keeps fruit, yogurt and raw veggies crisp until mealtime while the heating chamber brings mains like pasta or nuggets up to serving temperature.
What’s included: two removable stainless steel inner containers with matching lids, a clear outer lid, a fork and spoon, plus adjustable dividers to separate foods. The total capacity is about 5 cups (roughly 1.2 L / 40 oz), sized for school-age appetites and split between the warm and cool areas.
Materials and safety: the food-contact pieces are stainless steel and the plastics are BPA-free. Silicone gasket seals help prevent leaks and the exterior is designed to remain cool while the heating element operates, reducing burn risk for small hands.
Battery and performance: a built-in rechargeable battery powers about 1.5 hours of active heating and an additional keep-warm period of about 0.5 hours on a full charge. An on-device battery level indicator shows remaining power, so you can confirm it’s charged before sending it off.
Smart timer and memory: set a countdown in the morning and the unit will automatically start heating about 1.5 hours before the end time so food is hot at lunch. The timer stores the last setting so you don’t need to reprogram it every day.
Care and use: the two stainless containers, their lids, utensils and dividers are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup; the removable ice pack should be hand-washed and frozen flat overnight for most even cooling. Keep the outer case dry when cleaning. Use the dividers to prevent sauces from mixing with dry items.
Practical uses: designed for school, picnics and travel, this lunch box aims to give kids a hot main and chilled sides from a single container, helping preserve textures and flavors that insulated thermoses can’t always maintain.

Keeps lunches warm, but lid can leak
My son says his lunch stays warm. The only issue is the clear lid doesn’t always stay secure, which can allow liquids to leak out in a backpack.

Better than a thermos — charges overnight and delivers hot lunches
Bought to give my daughter warm school lunches. We charge it overnight and set the morning timer for meal time; it begins heating 1.5 hours beforehand so food is ready right when she eats. Works exactly as advertised — ideal for school.

Approved by a cautious 6-year-old
Tested at home first to ensure it wouldn’t get dangerously hot — it was safe and worked well. Warm noodles, mac and cheese, nuggets — all good. A bit heavy and I wish the buttons could be locked because younger kids might press them, but overall very pleased.

Worth the investment for regular hot lunches
I use only the heated side and haven’t tried the ice pack. After trying many containers over the years, this one finally fits my needs. The hot compartment is deep enough for a decent portion. Needs nightly charging, but it’s simple to use and has been reliable.

Great for toddlers and picky eaters
I have two for my toddlers and they work consistently. Each charge can deliver two warming cycles; we pack food the night before and pop the inner container from the fridge in the morning. Temperature at lunchtime is consistently good.

Made school lunches more appealing — would buy again
Although it needs nightly charging, it’s been well worth it. My son enjoys hot options instead of the cold meals we used before. It’s easy to clean and has made packing healthier lunches simpler.

Battery-powered convenience makes packing hot lunches easy
My child dislikes cold food and has a late lunch time, so this unit has been very helpful. The battery operation removes the need for an outlet and the temperature is adjustable for different foods.

Cold section warmed up and spoiled food
Returned it. The chilled half warmed too much and ruined items even with the ice pack. Great idea, but the cold compartment didn’t stay cool enough for my needs.
