Makita PACKOUT is nearly here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3yVpJ2lq9anZ7c

[@chir0pter]

Finally a microwave oven I can take backpacking

[@stauker.1960]

I thought you said bikepacking, and I was imagining this taking up an entire rack for a cross country tour.

[@Salah522]

Lol

[@Serrendip56]

🤣🤣

[@OctogonOxygen024816]

​@@stauker.1960 honestly, perfectly doable

[@loktom4068]

Ouch! Back aches.

[@Silky_boi]

Would’ve been cool if they made it with the option to plug into a wall and car outlet like the cooler.

[@Gerbyq]

It probably pulls a lot of current.. wall socket should ofcourse work, but most car outlets go up to like 100 watts i.e. 10 amps at 12V

[@petermiddo]

​@Gerben De V. It depends on the plug. The smallest Anderson Plug is 50A, but they have 125A and 175A plugs. Having said that, very, very few of the Anderson plugs (of any size) I've seen are cabled for the Amp draw over the (return) run length.

[@Jako1987]

​@@Gerbyq It should be able to charge batteries with 12V (or AC) and then use the battery to operate. Then it doesn't need peak power from the outlet. Cost reasons maybe?

[@mfbfreak]

That would require a whole extra inverter, either 230v to 40v, or 12v to 40v, and add heavily to the cost. It would also pull way too much power from any 12v car accessory circuit - you'd need a direct hookup to the starter battery for it to work. I do think that by now, Makita would have a market for 230v powered "battery replacement modules" because they have so many things that run on these batteries. Those would be fairly easy to design - just a big fat off the shelf power brick and a battery shell with some intelligence to fool the appliance into thinking it's running on a battery. I reckon that for 25 bucks in production cost and 100 in consumer cost you would be able to sell one. A 12v to 40v one is not very standard and would cost a lot more.

[@pqrstzxerty1296]

40v at 800W is atleast 20A drawn. How many minutes with these two battries can you microwave for ?

[@elomuskreal]

Makita has been making some weird tech lately, and i love it so much

[@harry..flashman]

s wonderful

[@highvis_supply]

It seems Makita chose 500W because that is the default cooking indication for all microwave meals in Japan. (Meals tend to have 500W and 1200W timing)

[@ProtoV33MK1]

Meanwhile, with all the ones I've seen in the US, you're lucky if they tell you the wattage they used for the one set of times they give

[@trevorm7013]

Got my microwave almost 3 weeks ago now and at first I was a bit skeptical of it, almost regretted the thousand bucks I spent but now after using it for a couple weeks I love it, it doesn’t take as long as I was expecting it to and it’s remarkably practical. How can you not love it!

[@redone823]

Not loving the price tag but it's a first of its kind.

[@HDXFH]

@@redone823 expensive way to kill batteries

[@FAB1150]

​@@HDXFHeh, at 800W it will pull 20A which is not that high for those cells. Probably healthier than running it in a drill and having it kickback

[@wearetheremnants1615]

Apocalyptic food warming device .. 😂

[@ddjohnson9717]

thousand bucks? did you go for a gold plated one? holy shit you meant the Makita one. it is 1180$, thats insane! at this point just get a power bank station and a top line real microwave instead. You gonna get more than 2 use of it at a time too.

Should’v brought the 18v heatgun to heat up your chips. Who says Makita doesn’t have an air fryer🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@Off-gridPA]

Be cool if they come out with a stand mixer too. Power tools in the kitchen!

[@TorqueTestChannel]

This is unreasonably cool

[@JessicaFEREM]

I think this microwave has a lot of wasted potential. if they added a wall socket and charge the batteries automatically, they could market the microwave as a main microwave that still works in an emergency. also the small size would be perfect for an RV, they could have a 12v input that charges all the time and uses the battery reserve to cook.

[@daveys]

I agree. If it did mains and charged batteries it’d be even more useful. Same with other tools like the radio, that needs to be able to charge batteries too.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

They make a radio that charges batteries now.

[@JessicaFEREM]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL they just need to make more things like that. But they're on the right track

[@daveys]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL - I did suggest that to them ages ago but I bet everyone who saw it said the same too. Same idea with the site lights, the fan, the coffee machine etc. Make them a charger too!

[@wshyangify]

The objective of this microwave is to wear out your stash of overpriced makita batteries so they can sell you more 😁

[@ronsamson537]

Any convenience appliance should also be a battery charger. Just like a work site radio it should have a corded option so it can be both corded and battery powered and can charge batteries when plugged in.

[@aleksandersats9577]

See this is marketing at it's finest. Makita probably does this so more users have to buy the charger separately

[@dannytovar9284]

Milwaukee has already thought of that I have a work late that scored it as well and charge his batteries

[@joseislanio8910]

@@aleksandersats9577 not only that, but the ability to use it with a power cord would save batteries. Guess they want to sell more batteries

[@Atolm4]

No idead how true this is, but I recall hearing once that some building sites or site operators do not allow any corded appliances.

Release date for that has been pushed back so we probably won't see it until the end of 2024

[@Sphyxx]

Makita has made all sorts of things that work with their batteries and I bet there's one of these in a construction site all covered in concrete, dings, scratches, paint and dirt yet still works like it's new

[@kylefowler5082]

I've been in construction for 20 years and always ate my lunch cold and probably will until I retire haha. Makita needs to make an xgt inverter power station. If Milwaukee and Dewalt can with their 18/20 volt platforms surely Makita will with their 40v line.

[@thenakimakkara]

Actually Makita has one coming up, only to work with the backpack battery

[@AllenCross]

Best review you've done, by far, not least because of the screw-ups, faulty guesswork, and your honest enjoyment of the device...all on show for our amusement (excepting edits for F-bombs), even in this primary channel video. I and, I think, most people prefer this kind of 'Hey, I stuffed up! Fun, tho', eh?' approach over the cocky, supremely (over-)confident - thus, unwilling to admit even ignorance & simple errors, etc. - take we get from most reviewers. .

[@radioactivekitty9174]

I have one of these on order! It's been on order since launch, quite literally, with a forwarder to get it to the US. My forwarder FINALLY got it in from Makita, so I'm hoping I can get one over here across the pond in the US quite soon...

with this, you could now say, "hold on, im charging my microwave." And I love it. but the compact dewalt bt speaker box, of which I have two, is by far my favorite tool battery compatible, applaiance ever.

[@RonLaws]

the oven capacity is also about half the volume of a typical 0.8-1.2KW Mains powered oven, so i recon that has a role to play in the cooking time. I think they could make a wall adapter for it that just occupies the battery slots with a connector the same way the back pack does.

[@SolarMinerPH]

This is nice. You can probably jerry rig it to a battery so that you can use it on an rv or something.

[@chaon93]

In an RV id rather just run a normal microwave off of a Powerstation or off the RV inverter.

[@brownbanana18]

I run a type 3 wildland fire engine during the fire season. Mostly in California but other western states as well. We basically live on that truck for 2-3 months. I would say 3/4 of the time, we are in the woods. And the other 1/4 we are in hotels. So the would actually come in very handy. But I imagine not necessarily for everyone. Definitely cool.

[@chrisj.1608]

i have to say overall i think this is a great idea! where i live a lot of construction goes on and i legit see people with cheapo microwaves with extension cords on the back of pick up trucks i would look at this as a good investment if i worked construction

[@TLDRDad]

One thing I noticed in heating up the food, which is true with a standard microwave or even when boiling water, having food covered makes a huge difference in the time it takes to warm up. This is proved, anecdotally, in this video as the left overs and big Mac heated up pretty quickly compared to the ‘healthy meal’.

[@woodworkingphoto8083]

Never ever boil water in a microwave. You can superheat the water and scald/blind yourself. Please be careful, it's not worth losing your sight for.

[@Bobo-ox7fj]

It's a matter of the water vapour being confined to the dish or spread around the entire compartment. Same amount of energy in a smaller space means higher temperatures

[@scotts1668]

Just so u know there was variables u did not account for that makes u look silly using words such as anecdotally. Such as a ceramic bowl absorbing the heat rather that paper which "anecdotally" showed it absorbing heat by him referencing his inability to touch it comfortably and the food not completely warm

[@practicalguy973]

The future of camping will have a full kitchen of battery appliances for dinner lol

[@DrBovdin]

Are those 500 W RF? Most modern stationary microwaves I have come across recently tends to max out at around 800 W RF, but they are rated as maybe 1200 W on the electrical end. So if you get 500 W RF it may be a great idea. It does need a way to connect it to mains power and/or car power (at least a charging mode for the latter), but if we get that in the next iteration, I am more than happy to overlook the omission in this version. This is a great idea, despite having a few design flaws.

[@Aderin.]

What is this microwave for, is it for building and all that. I love that

[@astro-snake]

Battery density will also drastically improve, once innovations like Teslas 4680 cell design are picked up and implemented by others. It’s nice to see a company like MAKITA experimenting and putting out new products so frequently

[@perfectdiversion]

I think the 4680 cells have less energy density than the 2170 cells

[@astro-snake]

@@perfectdiversion You’re not wrong currently. To be more specific, 4680 cells have the potential to have ~5x the energy density of 2170, but don’t yet because it is a new technology that hasn’t matured, unlike the old 2170. It can be done, but to manufacture at scale is a different game that will take time.

[@raymondo737]

​@@astro-snake Jeez, ... you surely must be munching on marketing slides for breakfast. Tesla's 4680 have energy !!!density!!! of ~245-250Wh/kg. Panasonic's current crop of 2170s have ~270Wh/kg. The 4680s have 5 times the energy capacity per cell, because they are over 5 times the size of a single 2170. No wonder BS marketing companies are doing so well on the other side of the pond. There will be no 5 times jump in the energy density of li-ion batteries, because the current ones are already at 70% of the theoretical maximum. Li-Ion batteries are a mature technology, well in the territory of small-incremental gains and diminishing returns.

[@alesksander]

@@astro-snake 5× is volumetric density number because battery is bigger. Currently this 4680 is aprox 244 Wh/kg vs 270-290 Wh/kg for 2170. There is a reason why 2022 Model S uses 1865 battery cells.

Puff the pickle, rock the double though. 👍👍

[@DanteYewToob]

This is cool as hell.. for everyone making jokes in the comments, if you don’t understand why something exists then it obviously wasn’t made for you. Lots of people work in very remote places, off grid and still need a warm lunch. No one is going to climb down a massive windmill or drive 5 hours into town from a logging site to grab a hot burrito from the convenience store. Being able to have something hot to eat is huge deal when you work hard or are miserable… it’s a small comfort that makes hard work bearable. Sure, it’s expensive and niche.. but it’s probably bulletproof and made in small numbers for now. That doesn’t mean the idea itself isn’t good. Again, this wasn’t made for everyone, if you think it’s ridiculous that’s fine. It obviously wasn’t made for you! It was made for the guy who saw it and instantly started checking prices because he’s sick of cold coffee, and food. This is also a cool option for vanlife/campers. When the weather is nice just bring the whole microwave outside with you to cook and eat wherever you want!

[@ronnienarvacan5897]

What's next, cordless induction cooktop? Wow! Overlanding or carcamping will never be the same.

[@programmer437]

The one use case I can see is for camping SPECIFICALLY in the situation that your inverter can charge batteries but not provide enough wattage to run a microwave. You’re basically using the batteries as big capacitors.

Is the wattage rating on an AC microwave both the motor and megnetron combined or is it just the magnetron? I don't know, but this could explain it heating almost as well as an AC microwave with a higher wattage as this does not appear to rotate so it wont cook as evenly hence the, "almost".

I am trying to figure out what you would need that for. Makita is a elecrical tool maker, making tools for construction sites, Workplaces and stuff like that. Everywhere you would advertise such a thing for has to have electricity anyway. A normal Microwave is way cheaper and more powerfull. Ofcourse there would be niche activitys like camping you could use that for but then you would have to pack about 15 Batteries to really get work done. I think Makita just made it for the memes like the Kettle and i love them for it!

If there was an option to use a mains power adapter/ genset/ powerstation i would go for one. But only using only 40v batteries is a piss poor design choice considering the runtimes it would be a poor onsite choice. Considering the number of extra batteries you would need onsite, not to mention recharging the bloody things. Thanks for the video, interesting if expensive novelty item really without alt power choice.

[@Muscovy7]

The reason it isn’t only half as powerful at 500w is the more compact heating space. A 1-1.2 kW microwave has triple the internal volume to heat up and the microwaves have to travel through more air particles.

[@Nk-bc1qb]

Here in the States, lots of guys carry microwaves on constructions sites. Definitely my Mexican buddies, cuz their wife’s cook! American wives don’t do that crap anymore sadly. So they heat up their food every day with micros and it smells amazing and makes a tear drip from my eye when I sit down to open up my gas station lunch of a bar of some sort, maybe a donut and a RedBull lol

[@awesomegmg956]

Saddest comment I ever read. I would (if you have not got one) suggest Japanese wives’ banto, easily heated with 12v bento boxes

[@practicalguy973]

Hey man gas station pizza sub is awesome in the microwave!

[@wearetheremnants1615]

Just so burger patties and boiled eggs cold cooked the night before

[@chistinelane]

Im scared of whoever the hell came up with this idea and saw it to completion. You don't go against drive like that.

[@ridhobaihaqi144]

Yes! The technology!

[@patriciaribaric3409]

You are funny!!! I love the idea but not the price. They need to cut that price in half or add extra batteries to rotate. My pickle preference is that those who don't want their pickles will hand them over.

Great, now we can re-enact that one simpsons episode where their car had a microwave built-in.

[@Mic_Glow]

Gimmick gift for executives/ partners or VERY niche stuff for actual workers... At remote building/ emergency site there will be a generator. And at a non-remote one there will be some source of 230V.... Only use this could have is medium range job site (if it's 15 minute drive home, then you just go home for dinner, if it's in middle of nowhere then you have a generator...) where there is no power because of a fault, or unanticipated need to turn off power to do work safely, and you didn't bring a generator. But for some reason brought this microwave and food that needs to be heated up. 10/10 cool stuff

[@acehawk45]

this would be cool to use when you go Rving or lmao camping i know some new folks will get this for camping cause they don't want to use an open fire to cook real meals

[@chatboss000]

There are camp stoves too which probably have more energy density. Or MREs (surplus or civilian) at that rate.

[@justpoppinthings]

I'm disabled now but having this on a job site would have been amazing

[@kenspaceman3938]

Cool! Now I could just pop that microwave in a backpack, weighing ”so little”, and then buy some cheap hotdogs during a nice bicycle ride with the family. And it’s so small…AND cheap also!😉 I love the video, just my kinda swag.😉 Still, in a car, maybe a small 50€ microwave and a 12-to-220V converter would function and be a little cheaper?

[@last_raven]

How many batteries do you need to have spare to run the full Makita kitchen?

[@craftymulligar]

A lot of times here in the states it would be cold anyway the fries to.

[@chargerification]

Never thought id see the day

[@NeutralSmith]

It would be nice if there are also going to be the XGT coffee maker and cooler. No need for different batteries for your lunch break appliances.

[@BubbafromSapperton]

The coffee maker I saw only makes one cup on a battery!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

There are already 4 XGT Coolers

[@richardbaker8928]

You'd need a couple of Sherpa's to carry that and the batteries you'd need for a weekend trip

[@Chris-iu5ol]

"We now stick the bacon in there..." 😂 Pickles, not for me!

[@1Rab]

Finally, a microwave i can monitor while in the shower

[@tiggytheimpaler5483]

Finally a way to heat my food at work

[@trolojolo6178]

If they make it a hunch bigger, you can wear it as as backpack and store your stuff inside. Australian backpackers will go nuts

[@sammyfriant430]

Have you ever tested the makita hr009 thinking about getting it but can't find any reviews

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Not yet.
