GE JE1460 1150 Watts

$138.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.abt.com
very powerful, heats so much faster than our last microwave; controls are relatively intuitive, easy to learn and practical; feels like its designed with the consumer in mind; beautiful looking
from www.abt.com
the controls do take a bit of getting used to - i often hit an autocook button when i want to do something with a timed cook, but it's just going to take a little time to get used to it.
from "JBJB08", www.abt.com
the controls are similar which makes it easy to use.
from www.absolutehome.com
many automatic controls.

2 RECOMMENDED by 7 people for CONTROL

Sharp R-426HS 1200 Watts

$180.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i love that the controls are behind the door, so it's a very sleek look (although you can do a quick add-a-minute thing with the door closed).
from www.amazon.com
part of what makes it so sleek is all the controls being hidden.
from www.amazon.com
it's easy to use even though the controls are on the inside.
from www.amazon.com
although we have no small children in our household, the safety feature with the controls and settings not available to be touched on the outside of the microwave is definitely a great feature.
from www.amazon.com
it looks beautiful with hidden controls.

Panasonic NN-H765 1200 Watts

$152.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.abt.com
i would and did buy it again.i love the inverter power control.
from www.abt.com
seems as good as the sharp (which had controls hidden behind door) that died, except we like having the controls on front of door (door opening radius is more comfortable.
from www.abt.com
the control panel allows for many special food & cooking settings, yet is simple to master.
from www.amazon.com
but it's also stupid, since there's no control over the power level.
from www.amazon.com
controls are intuitive, operation is smooth, power is excellent, size is just right.

Sharp R-1214 Stainless Steel 1100 Watts

$406.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.chefscorner.com
the 1100 watts power rating and the preset choices with sensor control, coupled with the turntable make it a great value, and the controls on the bottom makes it easier for shorter users to access.
from www.chefscorner.com
the control pad on the door adds a nice touch, as does the undercounter light.

Panasonic NNH965BF

$180.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.abt.com
we replaced a 1985 amana unit with this one; after 20 years, the old one seemed to have decreased from 1000 watts to about 850, and a power surge smoked the control panel.
from DarkHawke from Seattle, WA, clickfrom.buy.com
i even like the physical start and stop buttons, versus the membrane type for the rest of the controls.
from www.abt.com
wife did not like size or complexity of controls size.
from www.amazon.com
my only reservation is that the plastic covering of the control panel has already shown some bubbling.

Panasonic NN-SD667S 1.2 cft

$147.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the control pad is easy to use and, although i was hesitant about the pop-out knob when i was choosing it, i have found it to be a very handy feature.
from www.amazon.com
this is probably fine for many things, but for small quantities of food i think it's important to have more precise control.
from www.amazon.com
also, the only controls i use are power level (just for defrosting) and the time knob, so i would know nothing about the myriad other controls.
from www.amazon.com
the control pad is easy to use, and the pop-out knob is a nice feature.
from www.amazon.com
there is a way to ensure quality control and consistency.

from www.amazon.com
while there are other microwaves for over the range mounting (incorporating exhaust fans we did not need), the sharp was the only microwave i found with over the counter mounting and controls.
from www.amazon.com
i find it hard to believe that they are unaware of huge orders for this 'board' that controls the digital display.
from www.amazon.com
after a year the control panel went black.
