Sharp Countertop Microwave Oven

Microwave ovens are a great convenience. As they have evolved, most have developed very similar updated features. When looking to select one for your home, there are a few things you'll want to consider before making a purchase, small differences that set each model apart.

First, the size of the microwave, both interior and exterior. You'll want an oven which sits on your counter without taking up too much workspace. You'll want an interior capacity which will suit the foods you intend to prepare. For larger meals or larger families, the microwave will need more cubic feet. Be aware that some ovens with the same capacity have a different interior measurement, which may not always fit your cookware. This oven offers a nicely-sized, slightly over 14-inch turntable.

Larger ovens often come with additional quick select features for heating a variety of items. The Sharp has nine easy presets to handle common foods, plus its popcorn sensor adapts to various bags and brands. More powerful ovens prepare food faster. One key cooking, a machine which will store and retrieve instructions, and an auto defrost are very helpful shortcuts for which to watch. In the Sharp, eleven power levels are included, along with a defrost for meat (by weight) and a Keep Warm Plus which holds food at serving temperature for 30 minutes. Word prompts and a seven digit two-color display make it easier to navigate the menu. Prompts are helpful with touchpad ovens, especially when they are more complicated. Finally, consider any special features or accessories included and the warranty offered. In this cleanly-designed Sharp model, the control panel is hidden behind the oven door, easy to access but out of sight.
