Our Verdict
Sharp SMC2266KS
Samsung MS19DG8500SR
The Sharp SMC2266KS and the Samsung MS19DG8500SR are both large countertop microwaves, but the Samsung offers better performance for day-to-day use. It cooks food a bit faster, and it's also quieter, making it a good choice if noise is a concern. The Samsung is also easier to use. While neither model makes it easy to change the power level or set a specific cook time, you can start a simple cooking program with just one button on the Samsung.
