makita is releasing a portable microwave that runs off the same battery as its powertools (like you take the battery out of your power drill and plug it into the microwave)

Ryobi makes a hand vacuum that uses their battery system, its really nice to not have to throw away a bunch of plastic when a battery cell that you cant remove dies.

huh

it's really quite cool

we hate to fangirl over a commercial project but this one is fun and inventive

(although please note that these battery compatibility ecosystems are a tool for corporate hegemony through lock-in, and that's almost certainly the business incentive behind the microwave)

in reply to @Malacoda's post:

yep! our drill and vacuum are both black & decker and have the same system. use one in either and keep the other charged for when the first one dies. genuinely one of the best things that's been done with home hardware
