Overview
Rated at 1000 watts with a 1.5 cubic foot interior, the Sharp R1514TY is an over the range microwave with an Auto Touch panel hidden behind the door and a 14-1/8 inch turntable sized for family meals.
Its shorter height compared to other over the range microwaves and a front vent option make it useful in kitchens with limited clearance above the cooktop or a shallower cabinet depth. Not every account was smooth: one reviewer described a door latch failing repeatedly and difficulty getting warranty support.

Who it's for
Good for anyone replacing an existing Sharp over the range microwave, or installing in a kitchen with reduced cabinet clearance where a shorter unit or front vent option matters. Buyers who have had trouble with Sharp's warranty process in the past may want to weigh that risk.
Pros and cons
- Shorter height than many over the range microwaves, useful for tight cabinet clearance
- Straightforward installation, especially when replacing an existing Sharp unit
- 11 cook settings and 4 reheat options cover most everyday cooking
- Front vent option fits shallower cabinet depths
- Door latch failed repeatedly for at least one reviewer
- Warranty and repair support described as difficult to reach in that case
- Stock work light is dim without an LED bulb swap
