Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-1406 950-Watt 1-2/5-Cubic-Foot Over-the-Range Microwave, White
Customer Review: More Counterspace
Summary: 5 Stars
This microwave is the best one I have ever owned. Great user interface and I love having more counterspace. It has served us well for years! I definitely recommend it!Customer Review: Good deal...works GREAT!
Summary: 4 Stars
This microwave was a replacement for a different brand. But for $169 (and I found an online coupon to boot) it was worth every cent spent. Granted, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles my old microwave had, but what do we generally use a microwave for...reheating, defrosting and popcorn...so why spend the extra cash?
Installation was not quite so easy as others indicated as I was replacing a different brand, which meant drilling new holes in cabinet, and installing a new bracket behind the microwave, but still, for the money saved, well worth the effort. It does not come with a charcoal filter so be prepared to buy one separately if you are going ventless (do it at the time of purchase if you can find it on Amazon so you can save the shipping cost).
The rating I gave is due to the lack of features...basic microwave with few "extras", but the price made it 4 stars!
Customer Review: A good product for a good price
Summary: 4 Stars
The install was easy for one person, it would have been easier for two people, but if you are handy and able to put other things together, this should be no problem.
The light under the microwave is a great plus, we use it as much as the microwave when we are cooking on the stove.
The only issue we have with this is the fan. It happens to be pretty loud. We are not sure if this has to do with the fact that we have it on re-circulation mode as opposed to external exhuast, but that is the one thing we would change.
Other than that we are very happy with it!
We use the defrost option almost every night for meat and it is great-
Also pluses for two different popcorn options depending on the size you are cooking!
Customer Review: Decent For The Money
Summary: 4 Stars
I just finished installing and using this and it's a decent microwave for the money. It's construction is pretty flimsy though, (very thin metal), and mine came pre-dented right out of the box with a minor dent in the left side with some minor scratches.
The touch pad was also very loose and I had to use a thin washer behind it as a wedge to tighten it up.
Like I said, it's decent for the price and Amazon's free shipping made it an even better deal.
I hope it lasts longer than the last two Sear's "Galaxy" models that I bought. The first one went south in the first three weeks and the replacement didn't even last two years.
Customer Review: good basic microwave
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this microwave to replace my previous Sharp R-1449. This one is deeper, more plastic, and slightly more powerful. It seems reliable (only have had it 6 weeks), has a good vent and good stove lights. I wish it had a night light and a switch to stop turntable rotation though one can get around it by removing the turntable. My biggest disappointment was that it utilizes a different mounting plate than my previous Sharp microwave.
I gave it four stars b/c it does the job and it was inexpensive compared to other manufacturers. Incidentally, mounting instructions were very good.
