Sharp has unveiled its Celerity High-Speed Oven at KBIS 2026 and introduced a new “Golden Heater” system that aims to reduce cooking times significantly while maintaining the texture and browning expected from a conventional oven.
The 30-inch wall oven combines the Golden Heater with True European Convection and inverter-controlled microwave power, creating a hybrid cooking approach that blends radiant heat, circulating air and microwave energy in one cavity.
Sharp states that the system can cook a whole chicken up to three times faster than a conventional oven, reflecting a broader industry push toward time-saving appliances that merge multiple cooking technologies.
Hybrid ovens have gained traction as households prioritise speed and versatility over single-function appliances, especially in kitchens where space constraints limit the number of dedicated cooking devices.
The Celerity High-Speed Oven supports nine cooking modes, including air fry, grill, convection bake, convection roast and microwave options, allowing users to adapt cooking methods without switching appliances.
Sharp integrates inverter-controlled microwave technology to regulate power delivery more precisely than traditional on-off cycling, a method that can help maintain moisture levels while still achieving surface browning.
Broader kitchen lineup expansion
Sharp also expanded its Microwave Drawer Oven range with new Elegant White and Matte Black finishes, aligning the sliding-drawer design with current kitchen colour trends and built-in aesthetics.
The Microwave Drawer configuration reduces overhead reaching by installing below the counter and supports touchless operation through Easy Wave Open, reflecting growing demand for accessibility-focused kitchen layouts.
Sharp introduced additional countertop microwave models, counter-depth refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers as part of its 2026 suite, signalling a wider refresh across its premium appliance portfolio.
The company lists dishwasher noise levels of 44-49 dBA for new models, placing them within the quiet-operation range typical of mid- to high-end kitchen installations.
Sharp showcased the new appliances at booth S25091 during KBIS 2026 in Florida, although the company has not yet detailed pricing or retail availability timelines.
Further information on release schedules and regional distribution is expected following the show as Sharp rolls out its 2026 kitchen lineup across US retailers.
