Sharp R1514

Pros: Fine product. The last Sharp microwave I bought is still working fine 6-7 years later.

Cons: The mounting template could be better.

Review: I bought this microwave about 2-3 months ago and it is the best microwave we've had. The sensor cook feature works properly and the door is just fine after having many meals prepared on the range-top 15.75 inches ...

Pros: utterly gorgeous

Cons: it's quiet, but I've had quieter microwaves

The Bottom Line: This is a great microwave and I love it. Only four stars because it's not extraordinarily quiet. But it is quiet.

Review: I've had the Sharp R-1514 microwave oven for 2 1/2 years now. I use it almost every day and I never have regretted my purchase. Why did I buy this particular model? I bought this microwave oven simply because it was the most beautiful ...

Pros: Loved the auto and pre-programmed functions.

Cons: Repeatedly failing LCD Display makes it unusable.

Review: I originally bought my R-1514 because my mother had installed it in both of her houses and I liked the way it looked. The microwave itself always worked perfectly well, I especially liked the auto-cook buttons. Unfortunately, the LCD display appears ...

Pros: Attractive, microwave works well.

Cons: Noisy vent fan that doesn't do anything.

Review: Congratulations for reading this before you buy, I didn't and found out the hard way that this over-the-range microwave doesn't vent! Oh, sure, it has a fan button, and it makes a lot of noise, but nothing is moved from under the unit. I can hold a ...

Pros: Clean attractive appearance

Cons: Becomes inoperable with even modest heat from cooktop below.

Review: It may look pretty, but as an over the range microwave oven it provides nothing but headaches. Even a modest amount of heat from the cook top below causes the microwave oven's pushbutton door latch to deform (melt?) because Sharp chose to save money with ...

Pros: Great look. The sensor feature is great. Makes good fish.

Cons: LED lights burnt out. Poor lighting over stove.

Review: We bought this based on the sleek look and the fact that the angled corners matched our bumped out angled stove. The LED lights started burning out before one year of usage. We got it repaired under warranty. However 18 months later the LED is gone ...

Pros: Attractive

Cons: Unreliable.

Review: Terrible!!! The LCD light which displays the power level, time and timer flat out broke on me after about a year and half--just after warranty expired. The microwave still functions, but imagine trying to use it without the ...

Pros: Decent size for home use.

Cons: Poor quality design/parts.

Review: I used the back burner on my stove for the first time today and then tried to open the microwave door, but it just jammed in and would not open the door. I managed to pop the door opener out and when I looked at it, the plastic was not aligned. It ...

Pros: Fantastic design. Best model if you are designing a stainless steel (and black) kitchen.

Cons: Serious design flaw-plastic pushbutton door opener is 14" above cooking surface. It melts.

Review: I purchased this model about one year ago and had it professionally installed by a construction company which was renovating my kitchen. About six months later, the push-button door opener jammed. I had it serviced to find out that it had melted. It ...
