Will This Microwave Work In My Kitchen?

[Chetlaham]

Will this microwave replace my GE JVM1540SP1SS over the range microwave? All the reviews seem to talk about motor homes for some reason. No idea why this is?

If the dimensions matches with your old one, I don't see why not. Some trailers or RVs would have one as a substitution from a traditional oven. Even my uncle's trailer doesn't have a traditional oven either, just a microwave with a convection oven. I have a microwave with a convection oven and it's trash, I don't think they're worth having if you already own a oven. Even my oven has a convection and I don't like using the convection feature either. I'd like to replace my Whirlpool OTR with a Sharp when the time comes cause I've always liked that brand. Maybe I might also replace my KitchenAid dishwasher with a Sharp as well since a fellow member over on vacuumland replaced his Hobart designed KitchenAid with a Sharp and has nothing but positive things to say about it.

If Sharp dishwashers are anything like their microwaves, I can certainly see the positive feelings. If you ask me Sharp makes the best microwaves out there today. Their products are seriously designed and made for repair. I feel like Sharp is on pace to beat the major players. And I hope they do. The market desperately needs a Shark corporation in terms of seriously winning consumer sanctification putting its clients first winning their respect while putting competitors in their place for the joke that they are.

I don't know who makes the dishwashers for Sharp but wouldn't be surprised if they're made by Midea just like most of their microwaves. I'd prefer having a microwave that was made by Sharp themselves in Thailand like this R1514TY, that's about as close to the one we had up at our last cabin and I loved it so much. They were once made in America, my grandfather has one from 2000 that's still there and uses it almost everyday even from abuse. It even outlasted the old Amana from 1982. Sharp was once a popular brand but it appears they've been on a decline. They used to make vacuums and I thought they were excellent as I own three myself but I don't think they were all that popular so they left that market.

The units made in Thailand are the ones I'm talking about, they are the best IMO. I would gladly take on to replace my GE.

Sharp had a very good microwave back in the 80s. They were one of the first with turntables.

They’re over the range microwaves are one of the worst ones out there there’s so much cheap plastic in a sharp over the rage microwave you’re better off getting a GE no point in spending $700 on and over the range microwave.

I don’t know who makes the sharp dishwashers, but it can’t be anything much, there are so many good dishwashers out there and there’s a whole lot of junk.

Why do you want the convection if you already have an oven in your kitchen? Just go to Home Depot and buy the cheap Magic Chef microwave, after all, it doesn't seem like you take care of them. Why not just clean out the one you have?

It not that I don't care of them, its that they (at least my current GE) does not cook evenly.

How do these Sharps perform? There are a lot of positive reviews about them.




In general I find who ever uses a Sharp product becomes fanatical about them. And if they are anything like my counter top Sharp I can understand the sentiment and then some.

Chet I think that is all hype. Just get the Magic Chef.

I dunno, I don't see such reviews with non Sharp products. And they tend to match my experiences thus far even though there are those on here who insist not so despite never having used a Sharp.
