Milwaukee’s new M18 Jobsite Lunch Warmer lets you heat up a meal on any job without needing a microwave. The device uses M18 batteries to warm food over a period of time, making it ready to eat at your scheduled lunch break.
How it Works
The M18 Jobsite Lunch Warmer is designed to heat up food slowly, starting two hours before your preset lunch time. It has a digital display and intuitive controls, allowing you to set your desired temperature level and meal time.
The temperature range is between 165°F and 205°F, and you can set your desired meal time using the arrow buttons. A fork and knife symbol indicates that the lunch warmer is set to start warming two hours before your target lunch time.
Design and Features
The M18 Jobsite Lunch Warmer has several convenience features, including foam insulation to retain heat and two 4.75-cup stainless steel containers that are leakproof and dishwasher-safe. The warming compartment lid is also removable and can act as a container tray.

The device is Packout compatible, attaching easily to the top of your Packout storage build, and has a carrying handle for easy transport. Milwaukee claims you can heat up to two meals using a single 5.0Ah battery.
In terms of similar products, Makita offers a 40V XGT microwave and an 18V LXT coffee maker, but Milwaukee’s warmer is the first battery-powered food warming product from the brand. This innovation could be particularly useful on jobsites lacking consistent power or traditional heating methods.
Price and Warranty
The M18 Jobsite Lunch Warmer retails for $199 as a bare tool, which includes two stainless steel containers. Additional containers can be purchased separately for $29 each or as a three-pack for $79. Milwaukee backs the purchase with a 3-year warranty.
The M18 Jobsite Lunch Warmer’s ability to heat food gradually over a period of time, rather than using quick-heating technology like a microwave, could be seen as a more gentle way to warm meals, potentially preserving the quality and texture of the food. This approach might be particularly appealing to those who value a hot, satisfying meal during their break.
