I just would like to know what you who have them and use them , use them for? I am thinking if it will be useful for us or is the extra storage space more helpful.

I use it on Friday night- I put it on before shabbos, leave my food in there till it's time to eat, and we have hot food. (I don't use it after that as my rav holds I can't.)
Also, if I serve dinner to the kids earlier, sometimes I let the food stay warm in the warming drawer until dh and I are ready to eat.

A good oven will work as a warming drawer. I have a Wolf. The food stays moist and delicious for the Friday Sudar.

Have never utilized it as a warming drawer. Leave my food if my oven on shabbos mode for Friday night.
Once the oven goes off the warming drawer goes off as well
No need for it during the week

There are different halachic opinions on the use of a warming drawer on Shabbat and yom tov. Some say that you can put things in before Shabbat only. Others permit fully cooked, solid foods to be placed in a warming drawer (usually a warming drawer with any temperature controls removed) on Shabbat. CYLOR.

There are no temperature controls for my drawer so I don't believe it's a warming drawer. When the oven is hot, the temperature down below is the same as the outside outer door of the oven when in use - which is no more than a drop of warmth.
I use the drawer to store cookie sheet sized pans which don't fit into the upper cabinets.

That's a storage drawer under your oven, not a warming drawer.

A warming drawer heats to a relatively low temperature not to cook, but to keep things warm.

The one I desperately want:



Wolf warming drawer



Oven with warming drawer (note the controls)

I have a free standing range with an oven and a drawer underneath. The drawer has a temp control knob up to 450 degrees. Would that be a warming drawer or just another oven?
I think I used it once for cookies but otherwise just for storage.

I *luv* my warming drawer! I put Friday night dinner in there, and don't leave the oven on unless we are having guests (we usually eat from the Crock-Pot on Shabbos day). I think it is probably safer than an electric hot plate or traditional blech.

I use my warming drawer every week, instead of a bleach.
I leave food with liquid in it from Friday afternoon, for Shabbat day.
Dry food I put in on Shabbat day, but you need to AYLOR.

It keeps my kitchen counters clean and clutter free

Almost forgot to mention: a warming drawer can also be used for making yogurt, raising dough and dehydrating fruits and other foods.
