Microwave ovens are the jack-of-all-trades in a kitchen. They’re nifty assistants that help make working in the kitchen much more seamless, whether it’s popping popcorn or reheating leftovers. Their designs however, are typically never ideal; these clunky appliances are often hulking silver monstrosities that occupy a large space on countertops.

Samsung’s Microwave Oven with Grill Fry series is a gamechanger in the field. The microwave adds a dash of personality to the kitchen with its stylish and compact design. Opt for a pop of colour with a cool mint or a sweet pastel pink, or choose to go sleek and minimalistic with the black and white options. The smooth glass surface complete with a full glass control panel gives the microwave oven a lustrous surface whilst maintaining its easy-to-clean attribute.

6. Miele Blackboard edition refrigerator

You can conveniently jot down dinner menus, grocery lists, or whatever that comes to mind; the smooth surface allows the scribbles to be easily wiped off.
