Posted on by

In a world where form and functionality go hand in hand, the NEVO Microwave Oven stands out as a masterpiece of design and innovation. Resembling an upgraded IKEA or ACE toolbox at first glance, this unique microwave is perfect for modern homes designed with an industrial aesthetic. However, don’t be fooled by its appearance; it’s not just any ordinary toolbox, but a cutting-edge microwave that redefines cooking convenience and simplicity.

The NEVO Microwave Oven is a result of a creative vision aimed at streamlining traditional cooking methods and simplifying the user experience. The microwave boasts an intuitive user interface that makes operation and control easier than ever before. Navigating through a plethora of complicated options can be daunting for many microwave users. The NEVO Microwave Oven eliminates this confusion with its thoughtfully designed touch user interface. By offering a limited yet essential set of options, the microwave ensures that you can effortlessly control its functions. With just a few touches, you can quickly set the desired cooking time and power level, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your meal preparation.

When it comes to baking, many of us prefer to have a clear view of the meal’s top to understand if it’s done to perfection. The NEVO Microwave Oven comes with a see-through top, providing the freedom to observe and gauge the condition of the meal inside. This feature is aided with a built-in camera on top which is particularly useful when the microwave is placed at a height, as it allows you to view the cooking process from the screen in the front.

We’ve all experienced the frustration of using a microwave to heat beverages like tea or coffee, only to have them overflow from the cup, creating a mess inside the microwave. The NEVO Microwave Oven addresses this common issue with its top view feature to prevent any messy accidents, ensuring a hassle-free cooking experience.

One of the standout features of the NEVO Microwave Oven is its side-opening mechanism. Unlike conventional microwaves that allow access from just one side, this microwave is accessible from the top and front and back sides when opened, providing unparalleled accessibility. This feature is a game-changer, especially for those with limited mobility or tight kitchen spaces. However, it’s worth considering the counter space it occupies, which might not be ideal for users with minimal kitchen real estate.

Have you ever wished your microwave could make your food look more appetizing? The NEVO Microwave Oven makes that wish a reality with its strip LED light feature. The LED light uniformly illuminates the entire interior of the microwave, enhancing the visual appeal of your dishes. Whether you’re heating leftovers or preparing a gourmet meal, the LED illumination elevates the culinary experience to new heights.

The NEVO Microwave Oven is a remarkable blend of industrial aesthetics and intuitive cooking features. With its top-down cooking view, innovative side-opening design, LED illumination, and user-friendly interface, it brings a new level of convenience and elegance to the kitchen. Whether you’re a culinary enthusiast or someone who simply enjoys a quick meal, the NEVO Microwave Oven is sure to delight you with its sleek design and practical functionality. Embrace the future of cooking with NEVO!

Unique microwave oven design comes with a vertical-popping tray, like a toaster

Dubbed the Range Pop, this microwave isn’t quite like any other. It does have a door and a microwave tray, but they aren’t located on the front of the appliance. Instead, the door and tray both open upwards, allowing your food to descend into the microwave for heating, and ascend upwards when heated. This, according to designers at WINIA Co. LTD., “enables the user to keep their distance and naturally avoid contact with electromagnetic waves.”

The Range Pop’s new format presents a different experience that has its own set of pros and cons. For starters, the chances of electromagnetic waves leaking out through the chamber is reduced, and it’s easier to access your food without bending over or spilling something. On the flip side, the Range Pop requires vertical space – something that most homes and a few office canteens may not be able to provide… and unlike conventional ovens, you don’t get to see your food rotating on the turntable as it heats. However, the upper door does enable you to place food on top of the oven, thanks to a set of 4 colorful trays that fit right into the door’s slightly concave design! Those trays then slide directly into the microwave, allowing you to heat your food in them, and easily remove them once you’re done, so you’re never touching a hot utensil.

Designer: WINIA Co. Ltd.

The Range Pop takes a unique approach to the microwave experience in a way that does feel like it has a bit of a learning curve, but not for long. The microwave’s entire front acts as a display, working as a clock when not in use, for temperature selection before you warm your meal, and as a timer while your food reheats. You can place your food in two different tiers (something you couldn’t previously do in a microwave), and the lid of the Range Pop also has a small tray for adding water, so your food doesn’t become dry and rubbery – a trick that works especially well with bread-based items. The same tray could be used to add lemon water to help remove grime if the microwave becomes dirty after prolonged use!

Apple Watch-inspired battery-powered microwave oven helps heat food while camping

Posted on by

When you’re out camping or enjoying a picnic, the convenience of preparing a meal and the ease of heating a beverage/food are two important aspects for a good time. Portable microwave ovens have to an extent made this possible for us, but the traditional options have their own demerits: Unappealing design and power consumption for instance. Stepping up with a stylish new form factor and battery-powered design, the Campo is a fine solution to our requirements in the great outdoors.

Portable microwave ovens that work without electricity have made a huge difference to how we travel and camp. They make it convenient to cook a meal briskly or defrost frozen foods and heat beverages during the outing. The market is flooded with low-wattage microwaves for camping that include all the important elements of making a camper happy. Despite their minimum power requirement, however, these ovens tend to drain your car’s battery quickly.

Designer: Siyun Bae

Before you plug your microwave into the vehicle’s battery and end up draining it down to the point where your vehicle refuses to start; spare a thought for the Campo microwave oven. This is microwave powered by a rechargeable battery to let you do the heating and cooking without requiring continuous juice up from your car. It would be a good idea to just carry your microwave like a helmet and place it on a flat surface to begin preparing the meal instantly.

The Campo, inspired by the curves of an Apple Watch and the concept of a portable EV battery, is made in nature-friendly colors. Its helmet-like design, where the visor (the lid in this case) can be rolled up with a handle. Inside you have a magnetically fastened plate, over which you can keep the item you want to cook or heat and set the timer (which is displayed on the handle you can roll back down to start the microwave). The ease of portability is ensured by a locking mechanism on the side of the unit, which locks in place when the handle is rolled up or pushed down flat.

Given its appealing shape and design, the Campo could easily fit in the center console of your vehicle, so you can even enjoy a piping hot cup of joe while driving. In addition to its application in the outdoors, a microwave of this sort can come in handy during unexpected power outages or an uncalled backyard party, which turns a normal day into a surprising camping event.

This microwave’s swinging front door carries your MasterChef-worthy meal, hot and ready to eat!

The ‘50s were home to some of the most innovative pieces of design and technology for their time. Invented just before the boom era in 1946, microwaves have changed a great deal since their debut, and still, designers remain inspired by the microwave oven’s convenience and timelessness. Bringing his interpretation to the table, designer Keereem Lee designed Waiter, a 3D visualization of a microwave that features a swinging door with an attached glass plate so users don’t have to bend down to place their food inside.

Narrowly dubbed ‘America’s Golden Age,’ the ‘50s saw innovations like the transistor radio, hard disks, and the Barbie doll define an era. However, ushering in this impressive lineup of inventions was none other than the microwave. Lee’s microwave design, Waiter, takes the classic compact build of the traditional blocky microwave, rounds its edges, and revises the inside to enhance its usability. Microwaves are anything but inconvenient. Spurred to only up that convenience factor, Lee’s main door on Waiter opens up once its quick-release trigger is pushed and reveals an attached glass plate that swings out with the door. Conceptualized so that users wouldn’t have to bend down to place their food inside the microwave, Lee also outfitted the Waiter with a transparent hood so that users wouldn’t even have to bend down to check on their food’s progress.

Most of the operations on the Waiter are featured on the design’s top lid, where the main control panel to set the timer and function is located. Waiter’s heating methods are activated in the same fashion as traditional microwaves, users need only push the door open and set the timer. It’s Lee’s attention to details that sets his microwave apart from the rest. Moving the control panel’s and glass plate’s locations, Lee leans on this reconfiguration to help make the Waiter that much more efficient.

This wall-mounted microwave is the perfect addition to any tiny living space!

Today, it has become increasingly important to own gadgets and appliances that are efficient, effective and space-saving. When it comes to kitchen appliances such as microwaves and ovens, they do tend to be bulky and space-consuming. They’re complex to operate, and the whole process of inserting and removing a dish via the little door can be tedious. Hence designer Kevin Choi designed the Wall-Mountable Oven. Choi’s microwave is a smart one, that as its name implies can be mounted upon a wall.

Designer: Kevin Choi

Winner of the iF Student Design Award 2016, the microwave can be easily mounted upon any kitchen in the wall. Its dome-like structure creates an ergonomic form that is easy to access and operate. To be honest it almost reminds me of a Stormtrooper for some reason!

You simply press a button that brings down its front cover, which doubles up as the platform to place your dish upon. You then pull down the main cover, enclosing your dish within the microwave. The entire act reminds me of putting on a helmet, and then sliding down the visor, for some reason!

The main cover features a touch screen menu, where you control the settings for the microwave oven. Simply put in the temperature and time, and wait for your favorite snack to get heated up! Owing to the cover’s translucent nature, you can watch it cook away. Space-saving, intuitive, and not to mention fun to use, the Wall-Mountable Oven is the kind of modern kitchen appliance we need for our modern homes. Also, an extra brownie point for its cool futuristic looks!
