Overview
A 24 inch over-the-range microwave from Sharp with a 1.4 cubic foot interior, 1000 watts of power and edge-to-edge black glass over stainless steel. It doubles as the range hood vent, moving up to 300 CFM through a 2-speed fan.
The edge-to-edge glass front is the design choice that sets this apart from a typical stainless microwave, hiding the usual visible seams and control cutouts behind a single glass panel. Underneath that finish it is a straightforward OTR unit: sensor cooking menus for reheating and defrosting, a plus 30 second key for quick add-time, and a vent fan that can pull air up, out the back, or recirculate depending on how the kitchen is ducted.
- 1000 watt sensor cooking
- 12.8 inch turntable
- 2-speed 300 CFM ventilation
- Cool white LED display
Who it's for
Fits kitchens replacing an existing over-the-range microwave where 24 inch width and stainless styling matter, especially alongside other stainless appliances. Buyers who want a dedicated standalone microwave rather than a vent hood combo should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- 300 CFM vent fan with 3 ducting configurations
- Edge-to-edge glass hides visible seams
- Quick add-time key for fast starts
- Bright LED cooktop lighting
- 1.4 cu ft interior is on the smaller side for a family
Performance notes
The 2-speed ventilation system is rated to move up to 300 cubic feet per minute and can be configured for updraft, rear exhaust or front recirculating installs, so it adapts to different duct layouts. Sensor cooking uses onboard sensors rather than fixed timers to judge doneness on the preset menu items.
