GE JVM6175SKSS vs Sharp R1214TY

If you're considering both over-the-counter and over-the-range microwaves and looking at the Sharp R1214TY and the GE JVM6175SKSS, choose the GE. While the over-the-counter Sharp microwave cooks a bit faster than the over-the-range GE, the GE is more convenient to use on a daily basis. It's a bit larger, making it easier to heat and reheat bigger dishes. The GE also makes it easier to start both simple and more complex cooking programs, since it requires fewer button presses in both cases. It includes dedicated mute and lock buttons, too, which are handy if noise is a concern or if you have small children.
