LG MVEM1825F
Sharp R1214TY
If you're looking at over-the-range and over-the-counter microwaves and deciding between the Sharp R1214TY and the LG MVEM1825F, choose the LG. While it's a little less powerful, the over-the-range LG microwave offers easier, more convenient day-to-day operation. It offers a bit more internal capacity, so there's more room for larger dishes, and it's a bit quieter during operation. The LG's glass touch panel is more pleasant to use than the Sharp's membrane touch panel, and you can start simple programs, like cooking for three minutes at 100% power, with the press of a single button. While you have to hit more buttons to adjust the power level or set a specific cook time, it's still easier than with the Sharp.
