MAKITA DELIVERS MORE CONVENIENCE WITH NEW LXT® CORDLESS HOT WATER KETTLE

New Kettle is powered by the same fast-charging 18V batteries compatible with over 300 LXT® products

April 13, 2022, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools and accessories, is announcing the release of the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Hot Water Kettle (model XTK01Z) that is engineered to provide hot water at the push of a button. This portable kettle is a convenient way to boil water whether on the job site or enjoying the outdoors.

“The new LXT® Kettle gives users the convenience of hot water, even when away from a power source,” said Wayne Hart, senior communications manager, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “It’s powered by the same fast-charging 18V batteries that are compatible with over 300 LXT® tools and products, so it’s an easy addition for anyone in the LXT® System.”

Boil Water Quickly Wherever Needed

The Makita Hot Water Kettle can boil 27 oz. of water in nine minutes from 50° when powered by two 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries (batteries sold separately) to provide hot water quickly and conveniently on the job site, while in the outdoors, or wherever needed. The dual-layer water vessel allows the Kettle to retain heat longer.

There is a convenient top handle for portability, and sensors on the base prevent operation when there is an uneven surface. There is also an automatic shut-off feature that turns off the kettle when the water reaches boiling. In addition, the boil-dry protection feature automatically turns off the Kettle if there is not enough water.
