Sharp 1100-Watt Over-the-Counter Microwave - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)About six or seven years ago we redid our kitchen with a built-in microwave. It did yeoman's duty for lo these many years then started sparking and catching fire inside. Well, how long are microwaves supposed to last these days, anyway? Whatever I expected, the fact was that I needed a microwave with the exact proportions and hardware. With some trepidation I check online. Thankfully Sharp still makes the exact same microwave! Could I have gotten a bigger or fancier one with more features? I don't know. This has inside and outside lights, settings for reheating and frozen foods and water. And it's really big inside for its size. Besides, what do you usually do with a microwave? You melt cheese and reheat soup and yesterday's stew. It works great and cleans up very easily. Plus it fits in the hole where the old one was. Perfect. By the way, it showed up in two days.

Sharp R-1874 1.1-Cubic-Foot 850-Watt Over-The-Range Convection Microwave, Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item for two reasons, 1) because this is a Union Made microwave assembled in TN (the only American made microwave I've found) and 2) It has a convection oven that can double as a 2nd oven.
The styling on this unit is very nice, sleek and not overcomplicated, it enhances the look of my kitchen.
The microwave cooking is simple, with built in functions for thawing frozen items or popping popcorn, etc. You punch a button, it asks you how many steaks you are defrosting or how much popcorn you are popping and it does the rest.
Convection cooking is new to me, but the manual and recipe booklet that come with the unit have already produced salmon steaks with a white wine/basil sauce and cooked a pizza. I've found that in the heat of the summer I can use this oven vs. my gas oven and it cooks faster and doesn't heat up the house as much. There is also a function that combines microwave and convection cooking to get meals done even faster... there are so many things this machine does, I've yet to figure them all out.
A nice feature, you can turn the turntable on/off depending on whether you have a round or rectangular dish.
The unit runs on regular 110 voltage, so no complicated rewiring.
GE, Kenmore and Samsung all have similar units -all made in Korea, all for the same price or more. I chose this microwave because I was tired of complaining about outsourcing of American jobs and wanted to support a company like Sharp that is still making some of their units here in the USA.
