Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-1510 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 1000-Watt Over-the-Range Microwave, Black
Customer Review: Great microwave, little tough to mount
Summary: 4 Stars
Its a pretty big and heavy unit so having someone around to help mount would be a good thing. I found that sometimes the clips in the back have a little trouble popping in all the way, unless its lined up just right. I didnt like the wall mount screws a whole lot as well as the fact there is only 4 to hold on the whole bracket (they note that you should have at least 2 in studs). They have holes drilled in the mount all the way across, so what I did was located two studs, drilled some 1/16th pilot holes in the bracket where they were and sunk (5) 1 3/4" drywall screws in each stud from top to bottom of the bracket to attach it to the wall. I didnt want to worry about the microwave falling off and either seriously injuring someone or smashing my new ceramic top stove.
Also be careful if drilling the top cabinet mount holes with the microwave in place, the bit can easily destroy the screw hole :) I ended up replacing the two small upper cabinet mount screws with 1/2" self tapping bolts. So the cinnimon powder doesnt quite sit level up there in the cupboard.. but the microwave is definately not falling out of my wall!
As for functionality, the microwave is nice and powerful, the unsightly buttons are hidden behind the door (you punch in the settings when you open it). A note of caution, dont put anything in it without the carousel tray to heat. I had a small paper nacho bowl in there and it almost started the glue on fire in 20 seconds.
Another note... The carousel tray does not ship in this box well, mine arrived broken in half. My only option was to ship the whole unit back (weighs like 80 lbs). I lucked out because my old microwave was a Sharp and the carousel tray is identical.
