IKEA quietly dropped a new 3-in-1 microwave — and it’s perfect for small kitchens

If, like me, you have a compact kitchen, it can often be a challenge to store your essential appliances. And if you want to literally double your countertop space, IKEA has just dropped a new gadget set to solve all your tiny kitchen woes.

The GÅTEBO microwave oven is a freestanding appliance that features a grill and an air fryer function, making it a handy, all-in-one appliance that covers your cooking needs. With its compact size, it’s perfect for small spaces or can easily be tucked away when you’re not using it.

Best of all, it comes at a budget-friendly price of just $199, which is a steal for a multipurpose kitchen appliance and comparable to many of the best microwaves out there. Here’s everything you need to know.

If you enjoy crispy foods but lack the space for a humongous air fryer, this impressive microwave is a space game-changer. And since I'm always struggling for countertop space for my abundance of kitchen gadgets, this is a great multifunctional buy.

Simply use the included air fry tray to cook your favorite fried foods in no time, giving them that tasty crunch that you won’t get in a standard microwave. I also love the fact that it comes with a grilling function to easily give you that brown and crispy texture for certain dishes, such as lasagne. Additionally, if you're strapped for time or hosting a gathering, this microwave can come in handy to quickly rustle up a feast.

In fact, you won't need to use your oven as much since the GÅTEBO microwave can pretty much do it all. While you might assume an all-in-one appliance like this would cost a fortune, it's refreshing to see that it's just under $200, making it a worthwhile investment.
