Should You Include a Microwave Drawer in Your Kitchen?

[@ThePinkHammerLA]

We have one qnd as long as you use a splatter dome you’re fine. Cleaning is only a pain if you forget to use the dome. Hire a house keeper and include microwave cleaning in your package❤

[@Toni_Snark]

I had one- hated it. You can’t even clean the “ceiling” of the thing without breaking your neck or knees. It was just awkward. It was a Bosch and looked good on paper, but I wouldn’t have another.

I love my Sharp drawer microwave oven. It is super reliable and easy to clean and operate.

[@bluedrummajor2876]

I've used countertop microwaves for most of my life. I rented a room for a few years in a home that had an over the range model. It was horrible. I would prefer to use a countertop in the future, but if for some reason I was confined to a wheelchair then I would definitely want an undercounter microwave drawer.

What is required for the heat to escape for a microwave drawer that’s installed in an island? Are there issues with these overheating?

[@Stephanie-rf9xs]

Six years ago we renovated our kitchen to include a microwave drawer and we’re very happy with that choice even if it did cost us $2,000! We have never had and problems with our microwave drawer!

[@KK10155]

damn $2000 dollars just for the drawer?

[@Toni_Snark]

@@KK10155 it did microwave in that drawer. 😅

[@cherylwilson9037]

How do you clean the compartment? The drawer is easy, but the food that gets on the side and in the back?

[@drwisdom1]

There is a spot for a microwave in between our above counter cabinets. But they aren't very deep so we have to use a baby microwave (Black & Decker $70) so it doesn't stick out. I use it every morning to heat up water to make my cup of coffee in an Aeropress. I also use our microwave to reheat my coffee when I don't drink it fast enough. Other than that I can't figure out other uses for microwaves that don't turn out better using our toaster oven, Wolf range, or outdoor grill. So I need a reason better than heating coffee to justify buying an expensive microwave.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Microwaves target moisture...Quick reheats are the best in my opinion before the food turns dried out

[@jasonwyrick3212]

How do I use the discount rebate for the brands you mentioned?

[@drwhoeric]

Several observations. Another big negative or microwave drawers is you lose that extra drawer or cabinet space. When it comes to cabinets, I am a believer of "More Drawers, Less Doors". I do not like the idea of trim kits as many times they are not good with heat dissipation.

[@RobertMuldooJP]

very informative---thanks for posting

[@elainelin1517]

I was really excited to find out that Sharps makes a microwave drawer WITH convection. Thank you for that! But, I'm somewhat skeptical about due to the negative reviews. Is there another brand that makes microwave drawers WITH convection?

[@YaleAppliance1]

No..Sharp makes all the drawers

[@AA-sq1xz]

@@YaleAppliance1 I was thinking about getting a wolf drawer microwave. But you're saying even this wolf brand is made by sharp?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Yes I am

[@latmcb9863]

Still debating this for my next home. I love the idea of a microwave drawer, but think it looks like a real pain to clean it. Would love to hear anybody's thoughts about how hard these are to keep clean. Thanks!

[@YaleAppliance1]

I didn't think it was that bad.....although we didnt spill much.

[@winstonelston5743]

A major consideration is, when the kitchen already has very limited storage and countertop area, is it worth losing space that is already in short supply? OTR is the only logical solution.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Except they are not good vents

[@westhamwilko]

Love your videos 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@admjamiroquai]

Regarding the Sharp convection microwave, are there any reviews on how good both the microwave and separately the convection functionality are? I haven’t been able to find anything in depth

[@YaleAppliance1]

Great product.....Love the convection combo.

[@lindsaypetry4958]

Where can I find the rebate you reference in this video?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Have to buy the other appliances...Thermador and JennAir both have rebate forms

[@theonemodifier]

Just a matter of time before the drawer doesn't work. One person said it would automatically open while it's on.

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

Where do these microwaves vent?

[@YaleAppliance1]

through the front

[@salvatoreshiggerino6810]

Why can't you just have the same microwave but not over the range? Why is over the range and under the counter the only two options? I'm not talking about trim kits for countertop units, units designed from the ground up to go in a standard cabinet are pretty common in other countries.

[@YaleAppliance1]

You can do that...you can hang it from the cabinet as well or build it in.....

[@AndrewX192]

What about the sharp R-1214 over the counter (not range) microwave?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Its a bit dated looking.

[@lorrilewis2178]

I'd rather have one over a wall oven.

[@YaleAppliance1]

You can do that

[@kennixox262]

Absolutely not! Once the thing dies it will be difficult at best to find a new model to fit in the hole. Just get a good counter top microwave and be done with it.

[@YaleAppliance1]

The new models are the same...all made by Sharp

[@kennixox262]

@@YaleAppliance1 I figured as much but in 10 years will this hold true. Time will tell. In my kitchen, a modern high end kitchen, the Panasonic sits on the countertop. There is plenty of space and should it die; out with the old and in with the new. Too bad I ditched my old Amana Radar Range years ago. My view also includes built in coffee machines. My wish for counter top microwaves is the return of the drop-down door.

[@planesandbikes7353]

microwave should never be put below eye level imho.

[@chrissym9514]

Where’s the part about how to get one for $500?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Buy any of the premium brands JennAir, Thermador, Monogram and apply the rebate to the draw.

[@f270]

Great business for Sharp!

[@YaleAppliance1]

Monopoly......

[@georgedoolittle9015]

Terrible idea effected no way should ever be bought or used unless has some type of "carrying tray" or vessel to insert what is to be cooked within to keep the mechanical aspects clean I agree with that comment totally and as a separate item for purpose of cleaning hence separate kind of bathtub with handle. Drawer style dishwashers and refrigerator freezer for kitchen island great idea tho...pull out frozen glasses for pouring beer and wine into etc. great idea for activating a true social space which is the point of doing all this have thousands of people over for big time bashes and good times and the like. Long silver strong buy😊

[@thihal123]

generally hate anything wifi connected for appliances. It’s an unnecessary point for data breach, privacy issues, and problem shooting. The basics of a kitchen appliance is to cook, or mix, or blend, or some such. Ditch the fussy “connected” experiences.
