Microwaves
For Home Cooking Convenience Over-the-range microwaves offer space-saving solutions without sacrificing power, with popular options like convection cooking models that double as an air fryer and oven. A standout model, the LG Over-the-Range Microwave with EasyClean, provides 2.1 cubic feet of space, ideal for families needing ample room and fast cooking (up to 1,800 watts). Designed for user ease, features like the extendable vent system keep kitchens smoke-free, and smart technology options, such as Whirlpool's Scan-to-Cook, make cooking even simpler by syncing with apps to streamline meal prep.
For more high-end models, look for sensor cooking options that automate heating times and temperatures based on dish type, ensuring consistently even results. Microwaves with these smart controls are now highly sought-after in the U.S., especially in spaces where full-size ovens aren’t feasible, making it easy to bake, roast, and even broil.
Streamlined & Stylish Built-in microwaves add a seamless aesthetic to modern kitchens, often installed in wall or island spaces. With capacities ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 cubic feet, they provide substantial interior space without taking up countertop real estate. For premium options, consider models with sensor cooking, grill features, and convection functions—ideal for versatile, high-capacity kitchens. KitchenAid and Bosch built-ins are particularly popular, offering sleek designs and precise temperature control for reheating or cooking gourmet dishes with ease.
Luxury homeowners appreciate built-in microwave ovens that pair well with other high-end appliances like dual wall ovens, adding value and sophistication to the kitchen while reducing cook times. Options with flush install kits give a sleek, built-in appearance, which ranks highly among users looking to maximize both functionality and design.
Affordable & Accessible Countertop microwaves remain a popular choice for users who value affordability, compact design, and portability. Perfect for dorms, apartments, or secondary kitchens, popular options range from compact 0.7 cubic feet models to larger 1.5 cubic feet versions with up to 1,000 watts of power. Features such as quick-touch buttons and auto-defrost make countertop microwaves versatile for everything from popcorn to gourmet leftovers.
For luxury compact appliances, brands like Panasonic and Sharp offer inverter technology, which ensures more even heating, a feature that’s especially attractive to foodies and health-conscious users seeking precision.
Innovative & Space-Saving Microwave drawers are increasingly in demand in U.S. kitchens for their innovative, ergonomic designs that keep countertops and eye-level space clear. With a pull-out design, these microwaves integrate seamlessly into lower cabinets, making it easy to access and ideal for kitchens focused on accessibility. Popular options from Sharp offer up to 950 watts of power and come with features like auto-close doors and sensor cooking—features designed to elevate both convenience and luxury. They’re particularly popular in high-end kitchen remodels and are considered a staple in modern minimalist designs.
For the Ultimate Coffee Experience For coffee enthusiasts, integrated coffee systems are a top luxury appliance. Built into cabinetry, these machines offer barista-quality espresso, cappuccino, and more at the touch of a button. Features such as self-cleaning systems, milk frothing capabilities, and programmable drink options cater to personalized preferences. Miele and Bosch models are known for their cutting-edge technology, delivering consistently fresh, aromatic coffee experiences tailored to individual tastes.
Coffee systems have become a focal point in luxury kitchens, often designed to match high-end appliances, and are in demand among coffee lovers aiming to elevate their at-home experience.
