Microwaves have been around for decades, but microwave drawers are a bit newer in homes. They are popping up in luxury kitchens everywhere since they can be neatly tucked away. 

With a microwave drawer, there is no longer a swinging hinged door in the front, but rather a drawer-type opening that fits snugly underneath the countertop. You open it just like you would any other drawer, sliding it out and placing your food into it from the top opening. 

It is convenient, sleek, and comes with a long list of benefits. 

Why Are Microwave Drawers So Popular?

As much as we don’t like to admit we use the microwave for cooking, sometimes we do. There is no denying the fact that it is fast and convenient. And on those days when pulling out the pots and pans just isn’t going to happen, a microwave can mean the difference between a warm meal and a cold bologna sandwich. 

But, if we are being real, then it is safe to say that nobody wants an ugly, bulky microwave taking up their beautiful countertops. It is definitely more about the space and added bulk than it is the benefit of fast food.

Ding, ding! That’s right – the reason microwave drawers are so popular is because they give you the best of both worlds. They do not take up unnecessary space and they still provide quick eats! It is the optimal solution.

The True Meaning of Sleek

Webster’s definition of the word sleek is “smooth and glossy,” as well as “elegant, stylish.” And that is quite accurate when it comes to describing THOR Ktichen’s undercounter microwave drawer. It is beautifully designed to fit under the countertop without taking up any precious counter space. 

A smooth, classy stainless steel finish not only allows the microwave to fit in and look uniform with the other appliances around the kitchen but it also gives it an incredible shine. 

Finally, the fact that it fits flush to the cabinet and doesn’t contain any protruding knobs makes it so easy to operate – and maneuver around. It has soft lines, an elegant look, and is very stylish. 

All in a microwave? Oh yes. Only from THOR Kitchen.
