Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its spacious 1-2/5-cubic-foot capacity and 950 watts of power, this space-saving over-the-range microwave oven comes equipped with a large 14-1/8-inch Sharp Carousel turntable, which nicely accommodates large casserole dishes. For added convenience and versatility, the unit features ten variable power levels; 13 automatic settings for reheating, cooking, and defrosting; and three venting options: horizontal, vertical, or recirculating. The oven's cook center and reheat center prepares or heats up to six servings of frequently microwaved foods automatically, while its defrost center automatically sets defrosting times and power levels for meats and poultry by weight. In addition, Minute Plus sets the oven at "high" with a single touch, and a popcorn sensor pops microwave popcorn automatically, regardless of package size or brand. Other useful features include auto-touch controls that provide precise, reliable programming with a five-digit, two-color lighted display; a work light and exhaust fan for convenient range-top cooking; and easy installation. The microwave measures 29-15/16 by 16-1/4 by 15-9/16 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased I did not follow advise of other review, I love this, January 19, 2005

By	James L. Strong "max4urmoney" (outside Tampa Florida United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this on Amazon to replace a Sharp microwave, which has served me well for several years. Based on the price, compared to other with similar features, this unit is the least expensive. I was also impressed with the comprehensive directions for installation. I am closer to being Tim (the toolman) Taylor than a professional at home improvements, so I followed the instructions with precision. The results were outstanding. Not only does it look GREAT where my old stove hood used to be, it passed my "popcorn" test, of which, I am particular. No scotching, full bag, satisfying and an extra plus, while I am beaming over my accomplishment, the beep sounds indicating the popcorn was finished, the display read "Enjoy". Am I ever! I have in my "digital locker",courtesy of Amazon, my own .pdf manual. What a great investment in money for the microwave and the time for installation of the unit.

Solidly built, looks great, came with lightbulbs for range light INSTALLED! No cons, but could have used some help with installing, as the manual recommends 2 people install, but I did manage nicely by myself. I would suggest an additional set of hands for final insertion, once preparations are complete. I have only owned this for a day, but, I wanted to tell my tale to give others an incentive, if they are on the edge, to jump at this opprotunity to snazz up the kitchen in a big way and for little out of pocket.

Panasonic wants like $300 for a comparable unit. I am pleased to pay 1/2 as much and get a quality unit such as this. You can even get this for $25 off before January 31st, free shipping (this dude is HEAVY!) and no tax, do the math, it is a steal!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good deal...works GREAT!, October 27, 2005

By	CantCU (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews

This microwave was a replacement for a different brand. But for $169 (and I found an online coupon to boot) it was worth every cent spent. Granted, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles my old microwave had, but what do we generally use a microwave for...reheating, defrosting and popcorn...so why spend the extra cash?

Installation was not quite so easy as others indicated as I was replacing a different brand, which meant drilling new holes in cabinet, and installing a new bracket behind the microwave, but still, for the money saved, well worth the effort. It does not come with a charcoal filter so be prepared to buy one separately if you are going ventless (do it at the time of purchase if you can find it on Amazon so you can save the shipping cost).

The rating I gave is due to the lack of features...basic microwave with few "extras", but the price made it 4 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value!, March 12, 2007

By	John R. Hunter (Clinton, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Much better price then most of the name brand models (approx. $300). Probably better quality the the cheap generic ones (goldstar,ropper etc.)Mine arrived not working, so i called technical support to see if there was a fuse or something that i could try. I was on hold quite a while so i took off one of the panels and saw that where the power cord attached to the circuit board was unplugged. So i reached in with a these very long forceps that i had and plugged it back in and it worked great.

Misses......

The exhaust fan is VERY loud, with only one setting. Perhaps the other similar models are loud too, i can not say.

The timer and clock use the same button for setting (just in a different order) so it's really easy to accidentally set the clock. Ours never says the right time because of this.

VERY HEAVY! You definitely should get some help installing this. You also must have an upper cabinet or soffit to install too. Maybe all the others are heavy too, I don't know for sure.

My only other complaint is that it doesn't come with the filter for the exhaust fan so you can use it without a vent. They could surely throw one of those in to sweeten the deal.


Pluses.....

Very powerful.

Exhaust fan works great!

Very good cook top light.

Nice looking.

Timer feature is good to have. I use it a lot.

Definitely saves kitchen space.

Better buy then any other name brand model and not much more expensive then the cheapo brands.
