Most outdoor adventures are much more enjoyable with a cold beverage. The Makita 18V X2 LXT Cooler/Warmer Box takes that to a new level allowing you to use this to cool your beverage, freeze items or even keep them warm! The cooler has four cooling modes capable of holding constant temperatures of 15°F, 30°F, 40°F, and 50°F, while also having two warming modes capable of 130°F and 140°F. It operates using one 18V LXT battery with the option to insert one additional battery for extended run time. It can also operate from a 12V/24V vehicle plug, or corded AC power. There is a large, easy-to-read LED display allows you to check the temperature and remaining battery time. For added convenience, it has a USB charging port to provide power to common devices like phones and tablets.
The MAKITA X2 LXT 12V/24V DC Auto, and AC Cooler / Warmer Box is water-resistant (IPX4 rated) for improved operation in harsh job site conditions.
The MAKITA X2 LXT 12V/24V DC Auto, and AC Cooler / Warmer Box is a smaller cooler and would be great for boating, short camping trips, or even daily use on the job site. The ability to grab your tool batteries and use them in your cooler is amazing. For longer runtimes, a portable power station will run this for upwards of 30 hours with the 12-volt adapter.
In our testing, we found that in the 30-degree mode, we did not freeze water. That might not be the case for all of these coolers so please do some testing before you leave canned beverages overnight at 30 degrees. Being a person who loves very cold canned beer, I was disappointed there was not a 35-degree setting so I did not have to worry about a possible broken can from freezing.
The best use for this cooler is to put something cold in it and let the cooler maintain the temperature. The same goes with the warming side. While it will work to bring things up or down to temperature, it will take a significant amount of time.
Why would you expect the thing to freeze water when you have it set at 30°? It’s only 2° below the freezing point. If you want to freeze water, set it to the 15° setting. I’m thinking the 30° setting was purposely put there by the manufacturer for beer
Yea, 32 is the temperature liquid water begin it's phase change to solid and it's not instant.
I just got the Hikoki version from Japan, but the 25l version , Metabo HPT needs to bring this to the USA. Main reason it's larger, has split zones, charges the batteries, USB out 12v out as well, 12v in, ac in, warm and cold.. You should really send a note to Metabo HPT and really tell them hey this would be good
If DeWalt finally delivers their usb-c bi- directional charger, you could use it with a generic 12v cooler.
What's nuts is that unit has a compressor. I would've thought it was just a cheap thermoelectric unit. I wouldn't be surprised if a big chunk of the cost is the reversing valve. I can't thi k of anything else that needs to be a heat pump at that size. Or maybe it's just using a resistive element for heat.
Why haven't they made that a small like backpack unit as a personal heat pump.
That, I think people would pay big money for, probably run Into weight issues though.
Great review of what I would say would be real world tests. Thanks!
More details on the lasting of battery would have been great...
Great channel, solid review 👍
I'm pretty sure this is a 3rd party product, as Hikoki has the exact same cooler, except it's green. I mean _exact same_ cooler. It takes one or two batteries, or plugs into wall, same everything. It's not available in the US, though
The Hikoki is actually a bit larger, has two sections and has a drain plug. A lot of Makita and Hikoki tools are very similar. The cordless trim routers share bases.
@@misha030302 I see. They're very similar, though
@@misha030302 that's awesome it has a drain plug so u can put ice in it if u run outa battery
@@jacksmith2315 The new 50L Makita has a drain plug
sure? - to my knowledge Hikoki also charges the batterys, and can do freeze/fridge at the same time
The market price has been set too high on this cooler based on the performance. Looking for a different brand and a price tag that makes sense. Thanks for sharing and I'm sure Makita is thanking you as well. LOL
I wish ego or Dewalt made one of these, I have a ton of both batteries.
Just run a battery adapter, metabo cooler is much cheaper and has so many bells and whistles, I only have DeWalt batteries and even better a 10 ah that I use with an adapter to keep the cooler running for hours and hours
It seems really weird to me that if I run out of battery power and do not have an outlet available I can't simply add ice and use it as a traditional cooler in a pinch.
Totally weird 🤣
Preach
Just open the lid and dump out water/ ice.
Just put an ice pack in it.
@@chrisgeeseka5168 He said there would be a danger of the water getting into the electronics. And why carry "just in case" ice packs? It'd take away from how many beers I can fit!
Heat is something I would never use. I like ICE. What the cooling watts????
Awesome job. You did it. Love them tall boys.
The fuse on the 12v car socket has blown and now the cooler turns on but does not cool. It’s probably in short circuit protection mode but how can I reset it ?
I'm with everyone else. They really dropped the ball by not putting a drain and allowing you to use ice.
I owned a dometic compressor cooler, and you could not put ice in that either. They’re not designed for ice. That’s why you plug them in. If you want to put ice in there, use ice packs, or put the ice in Ziploc bags. Easy Peezy
Your 5.0 battery are either junk or weren’t charged, becausea any of the 4 of my 5.0 batteries being used on either of my Makita coolers will last 6+hrs at 30*.
If the batteries are plugged and you plug it into the wall, does it charge the batteries as well?
I ordered one online yesterday at $59.99 and it's being shipped from China! Worse case, if it don't work right OR electronics take a dump I'll use it as an extra small ice chest!
sounds fascinating. a makita original.
Why not just turn it all the way down to 15 degrees and see how long it takes to freeze? Also, they should have put a drain in for ice.
Not a scenario that anyone would do. If you wanted to freeze something, you would freeze the cooler alone (30 mins) and put stuff in it that is frozen or put very small items in to freeze. This is not meant to freeze larger items. If it was, it would go down to 0 degrees like your home freezer.
I feel like hacking these to make them charge the battery when plugged in. Then we can leave them plugged into trucks aux power full time
Hi there m8 how long does it take to get down to 5 degrees?
30 minutes if there is nothing in it. Overnight if it is packed with warm beer.
Range of price.
Can you cook a chicken in there?
Not hot enough to get the chicken to a warm enough temp. Steak, yes.
@@WorkshopAddictsous vide!!
Hahahahaha. I just clicked the link and looked at the price. If it takes thatobg to cool. I'm not paying more than 200 for that POS
It's 800 😂
Waste of money
🙏✝️🙏AMEN🙏✝️🙏
Waste of money. What’s wrong with just using a traditional ice cooler people for a whole lot less money. Would have like to see you pull that cooler around with that ridiculous handle.
Que también sirve para calentar ! Pobre !
