Tech Review: iWaveCube Personal Microwave |
|---|
March 24th, 2008 | Tech Gadgets |
Borrowing heavily from Apple in terms of naming their mini microwave, the makers of the world's smallest microwave have attempted to target the office worker with this diminutive device.
Put it this way, this is probably the smallest microwave that has ever existed, but it does have inherent limitations in design and function.
As you will see, my biggest complaint is that it is simply too small to help with warming most lunches and they should have called it the beverage warmer, in all fairness.
Measuring just 10.5" x 12" x 10" the iWaveCube takes up less than a cubic foot of real estate. That is extremely small. I think some people will buy this product just for that reason alone. The problem in reality is that a coffee cup, soup, or small sandwiches all fit
fine in this microwave. Some of the most popular lunches these days ( Lean Cusine) will absolutely not fit in this microwave. That is a terrible shame. Therefore, if you are heating coffee often ( I personally don't know too many people doing this on a regular basis)
then I suggest you buy the iWaveCube.
My final problem is with the price-$129.95? That is crazy: this item would sell many more at half that price. For $130 bucks I could buy a powerful and small coffee maker for my cubicle as well as enough coffee to keep warm all year long. C-
