We had an "older" GE "over the counter" (OTC) microwave that worked fine though I was updating the appliances for the kitchen and this SHARP fit the dimensions under the cabinet almost perfectly, sticks out 1/2". Appliances are not easy to look at on line even with the "enlarge" feature. This is one of few OTC models that is truly OTC and not over the range. This SHARP definitely looks better in person than the photos and it works great too. It makes slightly more noise than our old GE but the new and improved features far out weigh a little noise, might be the fact that this one rotates and the other was "br" or before rotation. The digital touch pad is very easy to use and looks neat and clean. Push the "Start" button to automatically cook for 1 minute, touch it twice for 2 minutes. It has OTC lights underneath and "ease of use" buttons for popcorn etc. SHARPS are known to be simple, elegant and well made. We hope it lasts a long time like our old one (the "Antiques Road Show" model as our contractor called it) and serves its purpose well. I would definitely order another one and will if the opportunity presents itself.
