Title: Sharp once better quality, no longer; 14 months then dead
Review: Had very similar Sharp model in bisque that was solidly made and performed well for years and years, used daily. When it needed replacing, was delighted to find it in stainless since bisque impossible to get. However, was rather suspicious of the model when I found it displayed in a local store -- it seemed more flimsy than my old Sharp. When purchased, deliberately did not buy extended warranty, since I knew I'd switch brands if this one proved lousy.For 14 months it worked fine and controls similar to previous model; however, was noisier and tin-like (not really the robust feel of stainless, just the appearance). It stopped heating and I kicked it to the curb (actually, taken in for recycling). Now trying out GE with extended warranty. My guess is that manufacturers are putting better quality into models with convection and/or range-hood installation (higher priced more profitable).
Is the review positive or negative?
