5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, March 12, 2007

This review is from: Sharp R-1211 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Over-the-Counter Microwave, White (Kitchen)

First let me explain why I purchased the Sharp "OTC". We recently updated our kitchen and decided on a standard hood vent for above our stove. When it came time to replace our Microwave that had been sitting on the counter, we wanted one that was a "space saver", i.e. Over-the-counter. There were very few to choose from! So we decided to go with the sharp.

I have not been disappointed at all! I was originally concerned about the installation. It was a breeze. The sharp is a nice size microwave as well, not a compact.

As for the 5 stars I've given it, I have very little complaints.

Pros: Big & powerful. Fairly easy to install. Great price (as compaired to Over the Stove types). This model has many great features as well. Sensor reheating, presets for popcorn, frozen foods,..etc.

Cons: Sensor reheat over heats food just slightly. Some reheating features are slightly complicated to use, so I don't bother. (lots of button combinations that I can't seem to remember yet)

I hope this was helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Over the counter microwave, February 24, 2006

This review is from: Sharp R-1214 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Over-the-Counter Microwave, Stainless (Kitchen)

As the only over-the-counter microwave I could find anywhere, Sharp filled a big need of ours. We recently built a new home and chose the gourmet kitchen from our builder. This offered a very nice double-oven and island cooktop but no microwave. The Sharp over-the-counter microwave was the perfect solution to save counter space.

I really like this microwave and don't understand ANY of the previous negative comments I've seen on it. It looks great, works great and was easy to install. The task lighting is really nice above our granite countertops. This isn't a cheap microwave but in our kitchen, it looks more expensive than it was. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an over-the-counter solution.

This review is from: Sharp 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Over-the-Counter Microwaves (Kitchen)

We bought this product about 14 months ago and installed it in our newly renovated kitchen about 10 months ago. When the microwave works, it's a good microwave -- works well, good looking, nice automatic sensors -- however, we've had some problems with it.

The big problem for us (and this is a big problem) is that in the 10 months we've had it one of the three internal fuses shorted out on 3 different occasions. Now that it's out of it's 1-year warranty the price of fixing that fuse looks like its >$100. Also, this microwave is going to be tough to replace becasue we've built the cabinet opening custom for this microwave.

I'm also going to complain to my kitchen designer and make sure that this appliance isn't going to be recommended to his other customers. Unreliable quality makes for an expensive appliance.
