# Portable Lunchbox Ovens 'HeatsBox' Warms Up Home-Cooked Food for Lunches By Joey Haar | Published 2016-11-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatsbox References: [heatsbox](http://www.heatsbox.com/) Packing a lunch for work is often a healthier choice than buying prepared food every day, and HeatsBox, a product by Swiss start-up Faitron, makes it easier and more delicious to bring one's meal in to work. The [portable device serves as a lunchbox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-box), but it is also equipped with a built-in oven that lets consumers eat their meals as if they were prepared fresh. While most office kitchens have a microwave, heating food up in a microwave is far from optimal, often leaving one's meal full of unpleasant cold spots. HeatsBox uses an [85 watt oven-like heater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rangemate) to warm up food, guaranteeing that the meal inside will be evenly heated. HeatsBox also comes with the same self-cleaning system in many newer oven models, saving time and making it easier to bring to work day in and day out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Lunchbox Ovens:** The trend of portable lunchbox ovens is disrupting the traditional lunch market as it offers a more convenient and efficient way of heating up food for professionals on-the-go. - **Self-cleaning Systems:** The trend of self-cleaning systems in portable lunchbox ovens is offering a more hygienic and time-saving solution for professionals who need to quickly clean their lunch container. - **Healthier Food Choices:** The trend of bringing homemade meals to work with portable lunchbox ovens is encouraging healthier eating habits among professionals who are looking for a more affordable and nutritious alternative to eating out. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Service Industry:** The food service industry can consider partnering with portable lunchbox oven companies to offer office workers more food options and solutions that cater to their busy lifestyles. - **Small Appliance Industry:** The small appliance industry can leverage the trend of portable lunchbox ovens by developing and marketing innovative models that cater to the needs and preferences of professionals and students. - **Office Supply Industry:** The office supply industry can integrate portable lunchbox ovens and related accessories into its product offerings to provide workers with more personalized and practical solutions for their lunchtime needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Infrared Heating Lunchboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatwave-go-n01.md) - [Scheduled Self-Heating Lunchboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchgo.md) - [Steam Heating Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfheating-lunch-box.md) - [Compact Desk Food Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reheatly.md) - [Branded Electric Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crockpot-go.md) - [Self-Heating Solar-Powered Lunchboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnyside-lunchbox.md) - [Self-Heating Messenger Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willtex-willcook.md) - [Tubiform Solar Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubiform-solar-oven.md) - [Oven-Like Microwave Cooking Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rangemate.md)
