Sharp KB-6100NS Stainless Warming Drawer
Designed to coordinate beautifully with Sharp’s microwave drawer oven, this 30-inch-wide electric warming drawer installs below the microwave for additional heating space–great for use in an island or open-plan kitchen. The warming drawer’s large-capacity stainless-steel interior measures 22 by 24 by 6 inches for 1-4/5 cubic feet of space that easily accommodates oversized plates and serving dishes. A half-size wire rack comes included for stacking one item over another. To use the appliance, simply open the drawer to access its concealed Auto-Touch controls with indicator lights. Press the “power” button to turn the unit on (or off); choose from six precise temperature settings: 90, 125, 150, 175, 200, or 230 degrees F; and set the timer for “Continuous On”, 30 minutes, or from one to four hours in one-hour increments. The control panel wipes clean easily as needed. In addition, variable humidity control located just inside the drawer can be set to “moist”, which closes the air vent to keep casseroles, oatmeal, eggs, pancakes, or vegetables from drying out; or it can be set to “crisp”, which opens the air vent and allows moisture to escape, keeping foods like tortilla chips, pizza, and fried foods perfectly crisp. Other highlights include an exterior “on” indicator light, automatic shut-off at the end of the preset time, and ball-bearing glides that fully extend the warming drawer for maximum convenience and accessibility. The 450-watt UL-listed warming drawer with its handle measures 26 by 30 by 10-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Thermal Spa Bath Mat
this is not as good as a Spa, but for the price & convenience, I like it. It is rigid but once you get seated on it, it is comfortable. I have a textured bottom tub so of course the suction cups do not stick. I run a few inches of water in the tub, add my Dead Sea Salts, and get in & finish filling it up. Don’t turn it on until you get in & finish filling the tub. If you do not have one of the deeper, bigger tubs then I’d suggest getting one of the overflow drain covers so you can fill the tub up some more. It makes taking a bath a lot more enjoyable & after a hard day at work, it soothes all of my aches & pains. It has a lot of bubble action. I hope this helps anyone, I would recommend this.
