Sharp R-1406 Review

Sharp R-1406 Review by James L. Strong "max4urmoney" (outside Tampa Florida United States)

I bought this on Amazon to replace a Sharp microwave, which has served me well for several years. Based on the price, compared to other with similar features, this unit is the least expensive. I was also impressed with the comprehensive directions for installation. I am closer to being Tim (the toolman) Taylor than a professional at home improvements, so I followed the instructions with precision. The results were outstanding. Not only does it look GREAT where my old stove hood used to be, it passed my "popcorn" test, of which, I am particular. No scotching, full bag, satisfying and an extra plus, while I am beaming over my accomplishment, the beep sounds indicating the popcorn was finished, the display read "Enjoy". Am I ever! I have in my "digital locker",courtesy of Amazon, my own .pdf manual. What a great investment in money for the microwave and the time for installation of the unit.

Solidly built, looks great, came with lightbulbs for range light INSTALLED! No cons, but could have used some help with installing, as the manual recommends 2 people install, but I did manage nicely by myself. I would suggest an additional set of hands for final insertion, once preparations are complete. I have only owned this for a day, but, I wanted to tell my tale to give others an incentive, if they are on the edge, to jump at this opprotunity to snazz up the kitchen in a big way and for little out of pocket.

Panasonic wants like $300 for a comparable unit. I am pleased to pay 1/2 as much and get a quality unit such as this. You can even get this for $25 off before January 31st, free shipping (this dude is HEAVY!) and no tax, do the math, it is a steal!

Sharp R-1406 Review by Scott Corrigan (New York City)

We needed to replace our old unit and were astounded at the prices for over-the-range models. This is just a microwave! Then we found this one with the fan vent (which is sort of not great, but I don't think any of them have great draw if you don't vent them.) The power for cooking is great. The unit is relatively quiet. Plus it was easy to install. (We did it ourselves.) The only slight negative: the door is very lightweight. If I slammed it too hard, I could probably shatter the plastic. A great value for the money, though.
