Whether you’ve officially returned to the office or never worked remotely in the first place, nobody has time to wait forever in the breakroom line or the stomach for a disgusting community microwave that’s seen better days and care. If you’re looking to save time, money and your lunch in general, then this Buddew electric lunchbox lets you enjoy a hot meal on the go, without a microwave or oven and today, you can snag one for 15% off — which drops the price to as low as $20 for select colors. Even better, it’s not just for offices. Several reviewers note it’s great to bring along for travel, too!
The interchangeable two 1.5-liter stainless steel containers give you ample room for one large meal or two smaller ones. Users say it’s made life easier in busy office settings and helps save money on eating out. “Our microwave is usually tied up by other employees,” one said. “If you’re tired of cold lunches or want to avoid communal kitchen appliances, this is a must-have.”
“This gets your food hot in minutes!” one reviewer said, “I like that I can plug it in at that office or in my car. I have used it for cold or hot. I rarely eat takeout anymore.”
The high-efficiency thermal cycle will make your meal hot and ready, without totally drying it out. “I have frozen my lunch overnight, set it to warm 30 minutes before lunch time and it was ready,” one said. Others like it for family road trips, to eat warm food in the car. “Great option for on the go or hotels without a microwave,” another said.
This set comes with a metal spoon and fork, a mini plastic box for fruit or sweets and two kinds of charging cables, to heat up your food via a wall outlet or your car. The external container has an easy-carry handle with latches to keep from spills and messes, with a fabric carrying case that looks like a traditional lunch box. When you’re done eating, the stainless steel containers can go in the dishwasher.
“I’m really impressed with the Buddew Electric Lunch Box. It heats food evenly and quickly—way better than waiting in line for the office microwave. It’s super easy to use: just plug it in, and within 30-40 minutes, your meal is hot and ready. The stainless steel container is removable and easy to clean, and the included utensils and separate compartments are a great bonus. It’s perfect for soups, rice, pasta, or leftovers. I’ve used it at work and even on the go in the car—it works with both wall and car adapters! If you’re tired of cold lunches or want to avoid communal kitchen appliances, this is a must-have. Highly recommend!” — Sofiya Kinash
“I bought this for my husband for work and he took it today for its maiden voyage. He just texted me and said it’s AMAZING! He said it heated the food all the way through, I even put a roll in there and he said it was warm and soft, not hard like what sometimes happens in the microwave. My husband works in trades and I have an office job. I’m thinking of getting one for myself now that I can keep and heat my food at my desk! If you’re not sure what to get someone whether they work out in the field or have a corporate job, this is a wonderful idea!!” — Channing Motley
“I gave this item some time before reviewing because I wanted to see how well it would perform over time..its been over a year and I am thrilled to inform you it is still at optimal preformance…start warming 10 to 15 minutes before meal time depending on the temperature of your food before heating…I have frozen my lunch overnight set it to warm 30min before lunch time and it was ready,honestly I thought it would be broken after that incident, but like a faithful companion it heats on.” — Dia
“This is a good item for people who travel and want something hot to eat instead of snacking, your meal will taste like it just came from the pot, looks good, worth the price, would recommend it” — Winston S.
