Description & Features
The Thermador MD30WS microwave drawer brings premium performance and seamless design together in a sleek 30‑inch built‑in format, ideal for modern kitchens that value both style and convenience. With a generous 1.2 cu. ft. capacity and a 30" wide drawer opening, it easily accommodates a 20 oz mug, family‑size casserole dishes, and everyday cookware while keeping the countertop clear. One of its standout advantages is the MicroDrawer® design with touch “open” and “close” functionality, allowing you to gently tap the control panel to glide the drawer in and out—no handle required—making it especially convenient for island installations and for users of varying heights. Another signature benefit is advanced Sensor Cook technology, which continuously measures humidity inside the cavity and automatically adjusts power levels and cooking time, helping deliver evenly heated leftovers, perfectly cooked vegetables, and reliably fluffy potatoes without guesswork. The MD30WS also supports a perfectly flush installation in standard‑depth cabinetry, so the front sits cleanly in line with surrounding cabinets and other built‑in appliances, creating a streamlined, integrated look that’s ideal for high‑end kitchen designs. Inside, a thoughtfully arranged, turntable‑free interior maximizes usable space and simplifies loading, while preset cooking programs—such as options for melting, warming, and softening—offer quick, one‑touch solutions for everyday tasks like melting butter or chocolate or bringing ice cream to the perfect serving texture. Finished in stainless steel with specially crafted gray glass accents, this microwave drawer coordinates beautifully with other Thermador wall ovens and cooking appliances, giving your kitchen a cohesive, professional appearance. Intuitive electronic controls and a clear digital display make it easy to select functions and monitor progress, while the smooth interior surfaces are designed for quick wipe‑downs after use. Whether you’re outfitting a new luxury kitchen or upgrading an existing space, the Thermador MD30WS delivers a combination of premium build quality, innovative drawer‑style access, humidity‑sensing automation, and flush‑mount versatility that sets it apart from standard over‑the‑range or countertop microwaves.
