Meet the iWavecube
This is the arena's smallest microwave oven, the iWavecube.
A couple of weeks ago, the company behind the iWavecube, iCubed International , contacted me to see if I'd be interested in test driving one of their small microwave ovens. I turn down many more of these offers than I accept but there was something about the description of this appliance I found intriguing. I was skeptical of course but I agreed to have them send me one of their models.
Right now there's a black iWavecube sitting on my kitchen counter and I've been putting it through its paces for a week now. As soon as it arrived I was struck by how small it is. It takes up .73 cubic feet of space, that's less than a square foot for the decimal impaired. Its actual dimensions are 10.5"W x 10"D x 12"H and I can see it fitting in all kinds of tight spaces.
The interior dimensions (8"W x 8"D x 6"H) are just large enough to accommodate a coffee cup, a frozen entree or a bag of popcorn. Considering that I use my microwave as a butter melter exclusively, it makes sense to minimize the space I devote to having a microwave oven. I think that holds true for a lot of people. Despite its small size, it's still a 600 watt appliance and that's plenty of power for its intended uses.
Another component I like approximately it's miles that its controls and display are at the top of the unit. If I don't sense like putting the clock, its unset clock doesn't taunt me whenever I stroll into my kitchen.
The iWavecube is available in three colorings proper now, black, silver and white. There are greater colorings in the pipeline but for now there are 3.
But again to its intended uses for a moment, iCubed International has been compiling consumer remarks on their internet site and they're uncovering all kind of neat makes use of for this microwave. Aside from the expected uses like heating cups of soup or boiling water for tea, iWavecube clients are using their appliances to do things like heating shaving soap or hair conditioner in a bathroom. Optometrists and dentists are the usage of them to heat up moldable plastics. Physical therapists use them to warmth up gel packs. These microwaves simplest weigh 12 pounds and include a carrying handle so people are traveling with them or taking them camping.
I'm sure none of these uses had been predicted when the product became being evolved but the iWavecube's actually come a protracted way from the dorm rooms they had been meant for.
The iWavecube retails for $99 and is available at Office Depots everywhere and you can buy them from iCubed International directly through their website .
Make no mistake, this isn't always an appliance you'll be cooking complete food in. But genuinely, what number of humans use a microwave that manner? If you are searching out a compact way to warmth up small matters, the iWavecube may be a solution.
