Sharp R-1214 Stainless Steel 1100 Watts

$406.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.chefscorner.com
this microwave has the hanging advantage of an over range micro without the exhaust fan when you don't need one, and therefore size (24" wide instead of the usual 30") and substantially lower cost.
from www.chefscorner.com
overall, when you look at the features, the design, and the price, this one's a winner!
from www.amazon.com
this isn't a cheap microwave but in our kitchen, it looks more expensive than it was.
from www.amazon.com
even though this is not the cheapest microwave that i was able to find for the space, it works just right for my needs.
from www.amazon.com
in particular it looks great in the kitchen because it is one of the few available "over the counter" microwaves which means that it looks like a built in without the price.

whether it works or not i don't know...), remote unit is very cheap, oh and no handle and it's not exactly a thin lightweight (good for mounting i guess).
from www.newegg.com
it feels cheap and buttons are hard to press.

btw...to keep costs down, almost all manufacturers are going with a fixed base.

sharp refuses to do anything to help with repair costs because "it is so far out of warranty".

i was uncertain at first if i would be happy with this microwave because it was less expensive and smaller than the others, but it works great.

that's why for the price of $79.00 it was worth buying a backup for the hopefully not to distant future when this one fails for the last time.

i was cautious at first because of cheap price but tried it anyway with amazon's free shipping.
from www.amazon.com
it is nicer looking than anything i saw in target, costco, etc.
