Sharp KB-6024MS Stainless Steel 1000 Watts Convection / Microwave Oven

Pros: Powerful; attractive; easy to clean
Cons: Not as easy to use as I would like.

This microwave is one of the coolest new appliances I got as part of a total kitchen renovation. You have to be careful, however, because it is very powerful. It is not very intuitive - I am still trying to figure out how to use it.
It produces a nice light at night in the kitchen (which is helpful if you are up to get a drink or something). It is easy to clean up inside and has two options to open/close (push or pull or press buttons).

Pros: Large drawer size that can fit a lasagna sized pan.
Cons: Top of microwave cannot be seen to clean; smooth surface makes it easy to wipe.

We bought this particular microwave to fit in an under the counter space in a kitchen remodeling project. At first we considered buying a microwave that with a side-hinge opening door because we felt the price of the Sharp was too much. After all, we had just spent a small fortune on the new cabinets and money was tight. However, after working with our salesperson (who had sold us the dishwasher and the range) we worked out a deal and saved approximately $100.00 the Fine Lines price. Boy are we glad we did. We just love this oven. The different features are easy to use. The Sensor Reheat feature is fantastic. No more guessing at time or power level. I can also put a lasagna sized dish in the oven and not turn it. With a slight pull, the drawer oven opens automatically. With a slight push after the drawer has opened completely, it closes automatically. Instructions are intuitive -- a microwave for the kitchen appliance challenged!
