Looked at a lot of microwaves but this is the one to buy. I didn't realize how much prices have went up on everything. My old one was 21 years old. And a different model. I looked for several weeks before I decided on this model Sharp! And I am so glad I did! I love it! It has the easy clean inside so it can be wiped out easily. The door opens easy, it's quiet when it runs.! You won't be sorry!
Has a more refined style that I like. Wanted a microwave with specific functions - beep off, light on when running & door opened and 1100w minimum.
What I do like: + Extremely quiet - as in you barely hear it run * Keypad is softer touch. Not quite soft touch but better than others that you have to press the keys so hard that your fingers hurt
What I don’t like: * Keypad is not lit nor an option to do so. * Door makes such a loud noise when closing, regardless how gently you shut it. *Inverter function doesn’t work as well as another well known brand. But that brand only lasted 3 yrs. * Keypad function - seems all microwave mfgs are trying to reinvent the wheel. Why? Perfect the basic functions of a microwave instead of changing how the keypad works just so you can say you made a change or an improvement in your mind.
Love this microwave. Never had one that cooked this well and evenly. For a microwave... it looks good. Happy I ordered directly from Sharp. Free and quick shipping.
Works great. Knocked it down a star because it's hard to see the inside when running with the dark interior & lighting. Our old one, (wasn't with the inverter), had a white interior & warmer lighting, & it also would display 'end' when done. Unfortunately, this new one doesn't do that.
This unit replaces a 15+ year old Carousel. It can be a challenge for a company to maintain high quality for extended periods. Sharp does just that. When the old microwave finally quit there was no doubt it would be replaced with another one from Sharp. This new one carries on the company's exellent reputation. It is easy to use and very effective, just like the old one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this microwave as a gift. It is replacing an almost identical Sharp microwave that I have had for over 30 years (which is still going strong. I just set it out on the curb with a free sign on it so someone else could continue to use it). The new inverter technology is great! For instance it does things like defrost chicken without cooking it in spots (One of the many preset buttons). Another preset is called sensor reheat and it does so without having what you are reheating be scalding hot around the edge of the dish while still cold in the center. It has all the usual microwave functions like beverage, frozen entrée, potato, time cook, express cook, a kitchen timer, etc. If this one lasts as long as the previous one, it will outlast me! I could not be happier with this Microwave!
