Sharp R-320HQ 1200 Watts

$138.00 Est. at Amazon

from By Bongster, reviews.homedepot.com
the higher wattage takes a little getting use to and for most things cooked in a microwave the recommended cooking time seems to be based on an oven rated at 1000 watts.
from www.amazon.com
we liked the size and wattage of this microwave, although we didn't think we'd need all the extra bells and whistles (sensors, especially) it came with.
from www.amazon.com
and since this is a 1,200 watt oven, i often need to choose a lesser setting to match with recipes created for my previous, less powerful, 700 watt oven.
from www.amazon.com
i'm not used to having such a powerful microwave, at 1200 watts you have to be careful b/c foods cook very quickly and powerfully, so you don't want to burn anything.

Panasonic NN-H765 1200 Watts

$162.00 Est. at Amazon

from By Cromby, reviews.homedepot.com
it also has over 1,000 watts of power which is a lot for a smaller microwave.
from www.thenerds.net
every thing else is what one would expect from a contemporary, full featured, powerful (1250 watt) microwave oven.
from www.abt.com
counter size was important but wanted large capacity, features, and over my last wattage of 1000 watts.
from www.amazon.com
it is is a "full size" oven but it doesn't seem any larger inside than our old 900 watt compact oven.
from www.amazon.com
with 1250 watts, it does reheat more quickly than older models so i would suggest reducing the time until you get used to your new microwave.

Whirlpool MT4078SKB

$114.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.abt.com
i like it overall.....have to heat things a little longer than in my previous 800 watt oven describe yourself: casual cook pros: easy to clean, quiet, simple display cons: prefer more power
from www.abt.com
there's alot of power packed into those 700 watts.it's absolutely wonderful and looks great too!
from www.abt.com
decently powerful for what it is (700 watt).
from www.abt.com
even though this has 100 watts less than my old mw (costing hundreds more--though it was bigger), it heats just as well.
from www.abt.com
it is the perfect model for us as we are retired and can wait the few extra seconds it takes to heat over the higher watt models.

Sharp R-426HS 1200 Watts

$184.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
with 1300 watts, it cooks faster than other microwaves i have had.
from www.amazon.com
first of all, it is stainless, it has 1200 watts, variety of programmed options and the control panel display is on the inside of the door.
from www.amazon.com
* slightly noisy but for a 1200 watt microwave oven, that can be expected.
from www.amazon.com
because of its 1200 watt magnatron it cooks everything very fast.
from www.amazon.com
also the high power wattage ensures that the food is cooked really fast.

Panasonic NNH965BF

$175.00 Est. at Amazon

from DarkHawke from Seattle, WA, clickfrom.buy.com
my previous oven was only 1000 watts, so the extra 250 this one pumps out results in surprisingly better results.
from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?features and options and high wattage what's not so great:?none "i absolutely dont agree with past reviews, i have had mine for 3 years now!
from "TheOptimist", www.abt.com
1250 watts!
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 Robert Sillitoe from Maumee, Ohio, clickfrom.buy.com
you need these cntrols initially because the 1250 watt power is more than enough to cook or reheat foods fast.
