I answered on the appliance forum, but we need the other dimensions to figure out what the extra .2 cu ft will mean to you. At 24" wide by 18" deep, back to front, it should mean .8" difference in height.

thanks rhome-according to the specs, the viking is 5 7/8", and the sharp is 7 1/8". so, its less than 2" difference. i'm just having a hard time visualizing. Or, better yet, trying to recall exactly what it is if anything that i'm going to run into problems with when i try to put it in there and if the taller height is really going to mean alot in the end. our coffee mugs would fit and so would plates, bowls, etc...i'm hoping for feedback from people who have the sharp 1.0 cu ft microwave drawer to weigh in on how much of a difference it would be to them to have the extra height. my current microwave only has 7" now if you only count the usable area on top of the carousel. it has a browning coil on the top that takes up space and if you take the carousel plate and piece that turns the carousel, it seems alot larger.

So far I've run into 2 instances where tall items won't fit in my older model Sharp MW drawer: some tall cappucino mugs and my egg cooker. I'm really bummed about my egg cooker not fitting. =(
