If you like your lunch hot but prefer to pack home-cooked meals to school or work, then this new solar-powered “smart” lunchbox is what you need.

What is SunnySide lunchbox?

SunnySide is the first-ever solar-powered smart lunchbox in the world. Equipped with a built-in solar panel and a 10000 mAh power bank, SunnySide keeps your food fresh for up to 20 hours, heats up your food in just minutes, and even charges your phone.

And it’s not just about the heat! SunnySide also lets you enjoy a tub of ice cream on the go or keep your favorite salad fresh and crispy for a long time, thanks to its direct induction technology, cooling elements, three fans, and a thick layer of insulation.

SunnySide features a sensor screen that allows you to control the internal temperature of the lunchbox, which can also be adjusted through the SunnySide app. The app also tracks your calories, recommends recipes, and alerts you if the lunchbox is running low on power.

SunnySide comes with dividers that let you store your salad, soup, and rice dish separately and enjoy them the way they are meant to be eaten.

What’s the inspiration for SunnySide lunchbox?

“SunnySide was born out of my desire to not eat flavorless microwaved meals,” said Michael, founder of SunnySide, in a press release. “After reviewing the market I couldn’t find a lunchbox which addressed all the lunch issues I encountered, like when I work from the park and want to keep my sandwiches and veggies chilled or to heat the food cordless, so this inspired me to come up with this innovation.”

Where to buy SunnySide lunchbox

The crowdfunding campaign for SunnySide is currently live on Kickstarter, where SunnySide is available starting at $59 instead of its $125 retail price.
