FROM THE SHED TO THE SITE
Keep every meal hot.
Yakka Essential was built for the way Australians actually work — long drives, no kitchen, and a lunch break that's over before the queue moves. It's the simplest possible fix: charge it, pack it, eat properly.
Zero waiting.
Your break is short enough. Skip the queue and eat the moment you sit down.
Completely cordless.
No outlet, no inverter, no gennie. It runs off its own battery.
Even-heat technology.
No hot centre and burnt edges — just perfectly hot food, every time.
Built for big appetites.
1.5L capacity designed to hold a proper, energy-packed feed.
Got questions?
Everything you need to know.
How does a cordless heated lunchbox work? +
A built-in rechargeable battery warms your food gently and evenly. Press start, or set the timer and let it come up to temperature while you work.
How long does the battery last? +
Two to three full heating cycles per charge — comfortably a full workday, and most blokes get two or three days out of one charge.
Do I need power on site? +
No. That's the whole point. Charge it at home overnight and it runs entirely off its own battery all day.
Will it leak in my toolbox? +
The stainless inner seals shut and the outer shell is impact-rated. It's built to be thrown in the tray, not carried carefully.
Is it easy to clean? +
The stainless container lifts out and goes straight in the dishwasher. Wipe the outer shell down and you're done.
What if I don't like it? +
Sixty days, full refund, and you keep the unit — you don't pay return freight.
