A new microwave that's very small: about one cubic foot.

I know there's a race to make electronics smaller, but this is this a little ridiculous. Inventorspot reported today on the world's smallest microwave, which made its debut at this springs Chicago International Home and Hardware Show.

The IWaveCube is so named because of its dimensions: about one cubic foot. That doesn't leave a lot of cooking space. I mean, what are you going to cook in it? The only place where I can see this being useful is in an office break room. I gather that people in an office setting generally only need to heat up small portions of food or cups of coffee, and the IWaveCube could handle that without taking up too much space.

No word on when it'll be available, if it's not already. Do you see this being a useful new kitchen tool?

I can't see spending that kind of money on something to reheat a mug of coffee. It would end up being a knick-knack on the top of my full size microwave lol.

I can see the use of something like that. When we moved into our current apartment, we didn't have a microwave and planned to buy one in a week or so. That stretched to several weeks, then months and then never. Haven't missed it much except when I have to reheat some leftovers and I don't want to wait the half hour it can take in the oven. A mini microwave I can stow when not in use would come in handy in those times. Or I can just learn to be patient ... :)

I have a microware that is 13x13 and it can fit a whole dinner plate in there, the "walls" are very narrow.

I like the handle, but does it fold down?

The microwave I used for 15 years had about the same capacity; like Rachel's, it could hold one dinner plate, and that was sufficient.

My new place has a big micro over the stove, so the old one has been relegated to the bedroom closet upstairs. I use it to heat up my Bed Buddy in the winter. Very convenient!
