Sharp R-426HS 1200 Watts

$184.00 Est. at Amazon

from ConsumerGuideProducts.com
the sharp r-426hs full size microwave oven boasts a clean, uncluttered design with hidden controls.
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.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
now the control panel looks bright and clean.

Sharp R-1214 Stainless Steel 1100 Watts

$404.00 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.

Sanyo Microwave

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.
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.
