Our Verdict
Sharp SMC2266KS
LG NeoChef MSER2090S
The Sharp SMC2266KS and the LG NeoChef MSER2090S are both powerful microwaves, and you may prefer one over the other depending on your priorities. Both microwaves are large models, but the Sharp has a little more internal capacity, and it makes less noise during operation. The LG's glass touch panel offers more responsive controls, but while it's a little easier to adjust the power or set a specific cook time, you can start a simple program with a single button press on the Sharp. The Sharp is also quieter.
