Sharp R-CD1200M TwinTouch Commercial Microwave 1200W

Overview

The Sharp R-CD1200M is a 1200 watt commercial microwave with a 0.75 cubic foot stainless steel cavity, built for restaurants, cafeterias and offices that need to reheat and cook at volume rather than home kitchens.

What sets this unit apart from a household microwave is the memory programming: 10 pads that store up to 100 custom settings, so staff can recall the exact time and power level for a specific menu item instead of guessing. There is no owner review data available yet for this listing.

• 1200 watt commercial-grade power
• 10 memory pads, 100 stored settings
• 4-stage cooking with double/triple quantity pads
• Stainless steel build with self-diagnostics and exhaust fan

Who it's for

Kitchens that reheat or cook the same items repeatedly at volume, such as cafeterias, offices and quick service counters, will get the most use from the programmable pads. It is overbuilt for someone who just wants to warm up a plate at home.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Four-stage cooking lets a single pad run through several power levels and times in sequence, while double and triple quantity pads adjust heating automatically when more portions go in at once. An auto voltage sensor and self-diagnostics are meant to keep the unit running through the voltage swings and daily wear of a commercial kitchen, and an interior exhaust fan helps manage heat buildup.
