In short
Yes, if you'll use it for more than plates. A warming drawer keeps food like a lasagne warm until everyone sits down, and you can cook in it too. It comes in 2 sizes and fits neatly under a coffee machine or microwave, so it takes up no extra space.

What is said in the video
You can have warming drawers underneath coffee machines and microwaves and things like that. So naturally people just assume this is for coffee cups and this is for plate warming. So straight away people think it's an expensive product that you're not really going to use. However it's so much more than that so if you have a lasagne or something like that like you can use it for cooking and there's loads of different options in there and then obviously you've got two sizes so you can use it for basic things like plate warming and cups but you could also use it for keeping things warm.
A nice secure place to keep things warm but you can use it for cooking and I think that's really lovely to be able to utilise something like that.
