I doubt you’ll see many people on this site who are interested in this.  The 16 ounces for the pot and heater (I don’t know if that includes the cable) doesn’t include the battery.  The 30 minutes to bring a pint of water to a boil seems destined to make my alcohol stove look like a pocket rocket.  The other concern would be the “cooking requires a lot of energy, so larger batteries tend to be the best” statement.  From what I saw on the website, a fully-charged 30,000 mAh battery (that weighs around 20 ounces) will allow you to boil only one quart of water!  That simply won’t work for me.  You also give up the emergency option to use your pot over an open flame.

Car camping only to me. Over 100 dollars for a heavy heatable 2 cup container that does not include a heavy battery to deliver 100 watts continuous. Even one boil would put a dent in the battery (guessing) and then how will you recharge it.

I didn’t see how long it takes to boil water! The actual weight is 13.4 ounces according to the site, and many people are carrying battery packs these days. That’s way too long for cooking, though.

Marketing this product to backpackers and failing to clearly identify the energy (and weight) required to boil/heat water (this info is there but it is buried and is difficult to understand by the layperson) is at the height of deceit. We are a looong ways away from seeing a battery operated stove as a viable option in terms of “weight efficiency”. And claiming that this is a more “environmentally responsible” option because it eliminates fossil fuel usage is actually a bit insulting to those of us who actually care about climate change and are interested in the “biggest impacts” – backpacking stove fuel is not one of them.

Specially designed for and promoted to your up-market urban yuppie glamper.
Sounds like a good racket to me.

PS: long ago I think I remember someone promoting a really UL 2kW electric kettle. Really light.
The extra weight of a 5 km extension lead was not given.

To put this into perspective: to boil 2 cups of water from 20 C to 100 C in 30 minutes means that you are supplying 88 watts to the water.  Assuming that the power supply is 100 W you have barely enough power assuming no losses (which never occurs).
