Pros: Sleek, nice features, large turn table Cons: Not meant to be over a stove where the heat keep melting the parts. The Bottom Line: Will not be purchasing another "Sharp" microwave like this. from Shopping.com

Pros: attractive, largest turntable in its class, exhaust fan, light, easy to read and use

Cons: none that I can think of

The Bottom Line: The Sharp Microwave Oven R-1405 is easy to use and a cinch to clean. You can cook, reheat or defrost at the touch of a button.

from Shopping.com Pros: attractive, largest turntable in its class, exhaust fan, light, easy to read and use Cons: none that I can think of The Bottom Line: The Sharp Microwave Oven R-1405 is easy to use and a cinch to clean. You can cook, reheat or defrost at the touch of a button. from Shopping.com I bought this microwave to replace my previous Sharp R-1449. This one is deeper, more plastic, and slightly more powerful. from Amazon.com We've had an earlier model range hood style Sharp oven for five years. We've had to replace the circuit board and it has gone through three door handles. from Amazon.com On the right side of the microwave behind the metal grate where all the wiring is, I could hear sizzling. The internal wiring was melting and that was causing the smell and smoke. In searching for a new microwave to replace this one, I read in Consumer Reports that Sharp brand microwaves are a "repair-prone brand." from Amazon.com For the price I don't think you can beat this Sharp microwave. I just wanted a basic microwave that did the job. from Amazon.com I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this microwave--what I was looking for was a dependable, nice-looking product that wouldn't break the bank. Since I use my microwave for the basics--heating, defrosting, popcorn--it wasn't necessary to have complex capabilities. This Sharp was very reasonable, so I was somewhat skeptical until I read the reviews. This is a wonderful oven--nice-looking and streamlined (no door handle sticking out), very even cooking (more so than my last microwave which was significantly more expensive and different brand), a good over-the-stove light (it's a single light that is just as effective as the two I previously had), large turntable, user-friendly features. from Amazon.com Microwave is easy to install - it's heavy, though, so you'll need 2 people for the install. One thing it did not come standard with that most over-the-range units do is the filter for recirculating air. (If your home is not vented for the over the range microwave, you will need this filter.) You can buy it for $6 from Sharp on-line. The keypad is not as "pretty" as some of the other more expensive units, but that's something I could look past for the $200 in savings. from Amazon.com I'm happy with the microwave so far (had it for 2 month). The installation is very difficult for a single person but, as the saying goes, if you are having less of a problem then the men of Apollo 13 then you have no problem. The turntable is very useful, the dials are easy to understand and over all 950W are the power you'll need. The fan is strong and has more suction then an intern in the White House. from Amazon.com
