Do you like your Electrolux ICON convection microwave?

Comments (5)My baking/mixing area is opposite the sink. At first I went crazy running back and forth the 7 feet to the sink after the 2T. of water I always needed and thought it would have been good to have had a prep sink on that side of the room. and then I thought, "You big sissy! You are not crippled yet. Walk those 7 steps after it. It's not like you'll be making 100 trips!". And so I got over it. So if you do move everything there- where is your water? Water is pretty easy to wipe up....See MorePoll: How often do you use your microwave?
Comments (63)At my old house, the MW was located at about eye level for me. It was crazy--I had to use a stepstool to see if things were turning or overcooking. I am 5'2". At my next house I purchased the undercounter Sharp drawer MW which I loved and all the tall people in my family thought was crazy too low. See picture. Our current rental has the MW about neck level and I admit it works great. I use it every day to re-heat my tea/coffee. I actually use it to heat the water too since I can't find my kettle. I used to have a instant hot and got spoiled by that. Here in the rental we use a tempered glass measuring cup and heat 2c of water then use that as a "pot". It kind of takes away from the whole "ceremony" of making tea and enjoying it but we now have simple uses created from necessity. And of course....the old makin' bacon that everyone has mentioned. My son is always making bacon in the MW. I also am a good leftover eater. I love to reheat a serving of spaghetti squash or something from last night's dinner. I don't like cold food, so almost all of my food is heated. I considered putting the MW in the walk-in pantry at the house we are building, but ended up finding a place for it in the island (drawer MW again)....See MoreDo you love your microwave/convection oven?
Comments (15)We're on our 3rd Panasonic microwave/convection oven over the past 30 years. It is a good size and I use the microwave part more, but really find the convection part handy when I do need a second oven. Also the combo function works well for quickly heating something without the typical microwave sogginess that sometimes goes with it for pizza or a wrap etc. Ours have lasted quite long although we only got about 13 years from the last one (first one was 19 years). So now we have a new one which is almost the very same as the last only in stainless steel and slightly different controls. They come in white and black also I believe....See Morefriedajune
