5 out of 5 stars Great Product   March 12, 2007

First let me explain why I purchased the Sharp "OTC". We recently updated our kitchen and decided on a standard hood vent for above our stove. When it came time to replace our Microwave that had been sitting on the counter, we wanted one that was a "space saver", i.e. Over-the-counter. There were very few to choose from! So we decided to go with the sharp.

I have not been disappointed at all! I was originally concerned about the installation. It was a breeze. The sharp is a nice size microwave as well, not a compact.

As for the 5 stars I've given it, I have very little complaints.

Pros: Big & powerful. Fairly easy to install. Great price (as compaired to Over the Stove types). This model has many great features as well. Sensor reheating, presets for popcorn, frozen foods,..etc.

Cons: Sensor reheat over heats food just slightly. Some reheating features are slightly complicated to use, so I don't bother. (lots of button combinations that I can't seem to remember yet)

I hope this was helpful.

I bought this produce recently and so far so good. 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. I'm very happy and I thought the service through Amazon was great.

I bought the Sharp R-1214 because I wanted a more powerful range/fan unit over my cooktop and needed to replace the old micro/hood unit. I did not want to sacrafice counterspace so I purchased this Sharp R-1214. Installation was easy with the provided templates and it is very clean looking installed. The microwave is very powerful, and has more than adequate room inside. I like the sensor settings,task lights,and stainless finish. I would buy it again.

As the only over-the-counter microwave I could find anywhere, Sharp filled a big need of ours. We recently built a new home and chose the gourmet kitchen from our builder. This offered a very nice double-oven and island cooktop but no microwave. The Sharp over-the-counter microwave was the perfect solution to save counter space.

I really like this microwave and don't understand ANY of the previous negative comments I've seen on it. It looks great, works great and was easy to install. The task lighting is really nice above our granite countertops. This isn't a cheap microwave but in our kitchen, it looks more expensive than it was. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an over-the-counter solution.

Even though this is not the cheapest microwave that I was able to find for the space, it works just right for my needs. If it lasts a couple of year, I will be happy. Amazon had the best price for this particular unit.
