Score: 79/100
GE Countertop Microwave Oven
Score: 80/100Rankings

The GE Countertop Microwave offers a generous 2.0 cu ft interior and powerful 1,200 W heating, making it ideal for families needing high capacity. Its large size and weight make it less suitable for small kitchens. Best for households with ample counter space that prioritize capacity.

Sharp's R1874T over-the-range 1.1 cu ft microwave delivers 850 W power, convection, sensor cooking, and built-in ventilation in a stainless-steel package. The unit's lower power and limited fan speeds can lengthen cooking times, and it's quite heavy to install. Suited for kitchens needing a combined microwave-oven-hood solution.
