Found on Treehugger a space saving idea for that studio flat or college dorm, a microwave oven with an LCD TV/DVD built into the oven door. The best use yet, for a microwave oven?

I think it’s cool.
The perfect appliance for a Japanese apartment.
OMG! All I need is a toilet+recliner combination and I’m set!
That would be a good deal if the chicken came with it.
Can’t wait to see the remote for that….
(Actually if you’re in a small dorm room this might be convenient. But….)

Cook your food and Fry your brain.
Bah, it needs an ice dispenser.
I think a Roomba is also a contender. WTF
This is silly but many companies have been serious — for years — about building computers into refrigerators and hooking it to the ‘net.
I’m sure marketers like the idea because they can put advertising near where we consume a lot of items.
But does any CONSUMER want this? I don’t… especially if I have to pay more for my refrigerator in order to get advertising.
Now, of the advertisers would give me a FREE refrigerator, I might go for it.
That being said… I wouldn’t mind a computer in the kitchen for two main purposes:
1) To get AllRecipes.com
2) For a little entertainment while I cook (radio and news, esp.)
I’ve a great suggestion for a new product but cage match is down!
Now you can really have a TV dinner! 🙂
Now if someone would only invent a combination cell phone/refrigerator.
Why is this “idiotic”?
I cold have used this a couple of years ago in my first two one-room apartments, which were each the size of a small beehive.
How are you supposed to watch your food cooking? They need to include a camera that displays the inside of your microwave on the LCD display.
The American version is a mini fridge specially designed to keep beer cool.
This is a fantastic idea, I would be very suprised if this doesn’t take off.
It’s one of those .”why the hell didn’t I think of it” ideas.
Brilliant.

Does it make high def vegetables? 16×9 meatloaf?
You could watch Food Network while your lunch warms up…mmm good.
Check on your food during commercials.
Like #16 says, it needs an internal camera (CCD), protected from RF so it doesn’t get fried. Then one could probably see the food cooking a lot better than looking thru the normally tinted glass door, with course grid. And if the LCD had a PiP option, one could watch the food and the Tv program at the same time. Maybe they should just sell the LCD screens with tuners built-in, and let us stick them on whatever we want them.
