Does your staff kitchen cause you to have nightmares? You've actually already got your own mini-fridge in your cube/office, so that you can avoid the freakish festival that occurs in the community fridge. If so, you can now add a compact microwave to your collection.

The new iWaveCube Personal Microwave is compact enough to be hidden away in your office or pint-sized starter apartment. It's the perfect size (smaller than a cubic foot) to prepare your hot beverage of choice, reheat your leftovers (maybe!), or cook up a warm snack.
