Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Put Sharp kitchen appliances in your office break room

Probably the most common appliance in any office other than a coffee pot is a microwave oven. Sharp home appliances offer a wide selection of microwave ovens. If your office is large and the microwave can get a lot of use, you might want to consider purchasing a commercial model.

I recommend: Kitchen Supply Direct has nine models on display. Their Sharp stainless steel microwave models range from 1000-watt light-duty models, on up to 2100-watt heavy-duty models. P.C. Richard & Son offers an even larger selection of microwave ovens.

Buy specialty Sharp small appliances for your office break room

If counter space comes with a premium in your office break room, buy one of the built-in Sharp kitchen appliances. Sharp offers microwaves that install either under the counter or as a drawer. Another option is to purchase a microwave/convection oven that can do the work of a microwave as well as a traditional oven.

I recommend: AJ Madison has four combination microwave/convection ovens. With a Sharp microwave convection oven, you can combine the speed of microwave cooking with the capability of baking, browning and broiling that you get with a conventional oven. Some of the Sharp convection microwave ovens they offer are built-in models. Kitchen and Bath Products provides you the option of adding a built-in Sharp microwave drawer to your office kitchen.

Use Sharp home appliances to cool your office

While most offices today have central air conditioning, some areas of the building may not be as cool as others. If this is the case in your building, you may want to consider a Sharp portable air conditioner. With access to a window to remove the hot, humid air, the Sharp portable air conditioner can make a hot spot comfortable to work in.

I recommend: Sharp Electronics offers six portable air conditioners on their website. The Sharp portable air conditioner is easy to roll from room to room and just needs an easy-to-install outside vent and a window to work properly. SavingLots.com also has a large selection of Sharp portable air conditioners.
