Claimed capacity (cu. ft.):
Capacity as listed on the product or packaging.
Watts:
This is the manufacturer's figure of the microwave power output. In general, the more watts an oven offers, the greater its cooking power-and the faster your food will be cooked. That said, differences in claimed wattage of 100 watts or less are unlikely to result in significant differences in performance.
About This Brand
Sharp sells a wide range of countertop models through retailers such as Target, Best Buy, Lowe's, Sears, and Wal-Mart. Sharp is planning to introduce a steam-assisted microwave oven. The company also offers the only microwave drawer on the market (in a single- or double-drawer unit). Sharp microwaves cost $70 to $800. Sharp over-the-range (OTR) models measure about 1.5 to 2.0 cubic feet with wattage ratings of 900 to 1,200 and cost $200 to $1,000.

Stainless/SS-look option Stainless-steel is stylish, but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging.
The original one was in the house when I purchased it. The house was built in 1997,and I moved in in 2002. The old unit died in February 2010 and I purchased the new one in April 2010.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Strength
price!, it's pretty, size
Weakness
none
The size is perfect, no too big, no too small. The price is even better. I found it for 159.99. I really like it. I don't have any complaints about it. I recommend it if you don't have a big kitchen like me and want to save money.
