How big is the 2.4L capacity in practice?

2.4 liters is large for a lunch box and holds a full meal, or enough to share. It is closer to a small casserole dish than a sandwich box.

Does it need to be plugged in to heat food?

Yes. It is an electric lunch box, so it heats from a power outlet rather than a battery. Plan for a socket where you eat.

It heats when plugged in, so it is best used where you have power. Carry it to the workplace and plug it in there.

The container is designed to hold food directly, so it wipes and washes like a food container. Check that the electrical base stays dry.

Anyone who needs a hot meal with no outlet nearby, or who wants a light box for a short commute. A smaller insulated flask suits that better.
