SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) For those with compact kitchens, a common dilemma is the ideal placement of the microwave oven. When every inch of space counts, finding the perfect spot for this vital appliance can make all the difference.
Deciding where to put a traditional countertop microwave can result in your tiny kitchen feeling even more cramped than it already is. That’s where the sleek and space-saving solution of the drawer style microwave comes into play.
“In the quest for both functionality and style, the game-changing world of drawer style microwave ovens can transform your compact cooking haven into a sleek and efficient space.” says Peter Weedfald, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Sharp Home Electronics Company of America
Here are some of the major benefits of this style of microwave:
1. Undercounter Elegance: Drawer style microwaves are designed to fit seamlessly under your countertops, providing a streamlined and sophisticated look. Unlike traditional microwaves that can occupy valuable counter space, drawer style microwaves can blend effortlessly into your kitchen cabinetry, giving you a clutter-free cooking zone.
2. Ergonomic Accessibility: One of the standout features of this style microwave is the ergonomic design. Positioned at a convenient height, they reduce the need to reach or bend over, making them more accessible for users of all ages. Say goodbye to the hassle of lifting hot dishes from an overhead microwave. With the press of a button or a voice command (depending on the model), effortlessly slide out the drawer style oven and you’re all set!
3. Multi-Functional Marvels: Drawer style microwave ovens often come with additional features. For example, select Sharp Microwave Drawer Ovens offer touchless operation, a concealed control panel and even integrated convection capabilities to enhance the functionality of your kitchen.
4. Seamless Integration: When it comes to creating a cohesive kitchen aesthetic, drawer style microwaves are the epitome of seamless integration. Available in various finishes and styles, these microwaves can complement your existing cabinetry, contributing to a polished and unified look.
So, where should you put your drawer style oven? According to Sharp Home Electronics Company of America, the original inventor, designer and manufacturer of built-in drawer style microwave ovens, here are a few guidelines to consider:
• Adjacent to cooking zones: Strategically installing your drawer style microwave close to your range or oven encourages a smoother workflow and allows for you to transfer hot dishes easily while minimizing the risk of spills.
• Island installation: Incorporating a drawer style microwave into a kitchen island is a popular choice. This central location ensures accessibility from all sides, making it a convenient and accessible choice for various kitchen activities.
• Integrated design: If you’re undergoing a kitchen remodel, consult with your designer to integrate the drawer style microwave seamlessly into your cabinetry. This could not only maximize space but also enhance the overall aesthetics of your kitchen.
