"The Insight Pro Microwave Drawer is not just about sophisticated design, but also about ease and convenience. It's positioned at a height that is easily accessible for a range of users and dishes can be inspected without removing them from the microwave to minimize spills and the maneuvering of hot plates," said Christine Lewis, senior director of marketing, appliances, Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America. "Now with the Easy Open feature, users can easily open and close the drawer just by gently touching the handle."

With the new Easy Open unit, the 1.0-cubic-foot-capacity drawer opens and closes automatically with a gentle pull or push of the handle. This hand-assisted mechanism allows for quieter and smoother operation, and makes it even easier and more convenient for consumers to handle dishes in the drawer.
