I don't know who made it. I just know that I've been happy with
their microwaves. It doesn't surprise me that they are outsourced.
I don't expect a department store to have it's own manufacturing
facilities for every kind of home appliance.

But they must have some stringent specifications. Sharp is one of
the brands I returned before I bought the "Kenmore Elite" branded
MW (They seem to have 2 "brands", Kenmore, and Kenmore Elite).

And even after it started to fail, I took it back and got the same
model again. For $60 less as a floor model.
