I have a Sharp Half Pint microwave and I love it. It has
the controls on top, so it doesn't take up a lot of counter
space. I have always thought controls on the side were a
complete waste of space! Unfortunately, I guess not too
many other people agreed with me because I can't find it on
their web site.

I like this design (especially if the controls were on top)
and would take a closer look at it if I found it in a store.

If you want a built in... this looks very interesting!
