Sharp R-1874 1.1-Cubic-Foot 850-Watt Over-The-Range Convection Microwave

We have had Sharp Microwaves for many years and when the Microwave Convection Oven in our Motor Home got tired we shopped around and found that the Sharp R-1874 1.1-Cubic-Foot 850-Watt would be a perfect replacement due to it's measurements and the fact that the door opens within the framework of the Microwave Oven, not hinged on the side.

You will be surprised at the amount and size of food this Sharp R-1874 1.1-Cubic-Foot 850-Watt oven will accomodate. It cooks everything from meatloaf to pound cake evenly and locking in juices. Finding an over range (gas) with convection and a good extractor fan proved difficult and so we decided on this Sharp product.

• 850-watt, over-the-range convection microwave browns, bakes, broils, crisps, and roasts
• 2-color, 7-digit, interactive display; Smart and Easy sensor settings
• 1.1-cubic-foot, stainless-steel interior with light; 13-inch turntable provides even heating
• Built-in exhaust system; hood light, powerful fan, low and high racks included
• Outer Dimensions: 29-15/16 by 16-11/32 by 15-9/32 inches
• Inner Dimensions: 13-13/16 by 8-1/16 by 17-1/8

Sharp R-1874 Convection Microwave is better designed than the one before with 2 extractor inlets placed to handle the heat from the gas range very well , a large ceramic turntable that is easy to clean PLUS it can be selected to "not rotate" which permits bigger dishes to be used as needed.

We had a tight space on either side due to the exiting cabinets and most newer Microwaves cantilever out from the side and would not work for our application. I was a little afraid that 850 watts in power would not be enough power but it seems to work very well. On the convection side it works great, seems to heat evenly when baking rolls browning nicely. 

Best of all Sharp R-1874 Microwave Oven has a "keep warm" feature that allows warming serving plates as well as keeping unserved food ready for "seconds" without the whole reheat cycle. The convection oven not only bakes and roasts, but setting at 100 degrees, I use it for raising bread, and 150 degrees, I'll bring a steak or roast up to room temp before searing and cooking.

I think at 150 degrees it's faster and safer than having it sit on the kitchen counter as recommended in my cookbooks. I'm a better cook! Buy Sharp - 1.1 Cu. ft. 850 Watt Over-the-Range Convection Microwave Oven.
