Great countertop microwave!

[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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

sharp microwave with inverter technology

We had a Sharp microwave that finally wore out. Bought the new Sharp with the inverter technology and wow....what a difference. I have excellent hearing and even I can't tell when it is running. The buttons are very easy to push unlike our old Sharp microwave. This one cooks everything so evenly. With our old Sharp I would have cool spots and would sometimes have to stir it and then finish cooking. Our old microwave had three beeps when done cooking. The new one has 5. I thought it would drive me nuts but the sound is not loud. There is a bonus however with this new microwave. If you don't like the beeps you can shut them off. Overall we are absolutely thrilled with this microwave.

Very nice Microwave. Only suggestion is reducing the loud noise when closing the door. Could use some sort of rubber cushion to dampen the loud slam noise.

I am comparing this to the 18 year old Amana Microwave it replaced, so the bar is set high. I have been using it for about 2 months. On the plus side, this unit is SO much quieter, barely a whisper. I questioned if the fan was working as the top surface of the unit became hotter that I was used to. A visual inspection from the rear confirmed the fan was indeed working. Could Sharp have increased the fan speed with a little more noise to keep things cooler? Using the unit is easy, especially the single key stroke "add 30 second feature" on the start key. Keys 1-6 are that many minutes, also instant start. Too bad 7-9 could not be user programmable or set to something other than 30 seconds, like 10 or 45 seconds. They work when setting the cook time et al. There is a "memory" function initiated by the Zero key, but when we had a one second power blip it forgot everything. I have not done much with the programmed keys except to soften butter. Not sure how Sharp determined what size of the object to be heated using the presets. I need a video demonstrating these features.
The one downside is the internal lighting. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The light comes on when the oven is in use or the door is opened, just like my old Amana, which is good. My issues are, 1- the dark interior does not reflect the light, and 2- more importantly, is the back right corner of the oven is always in the dark, no light hitting it. Yet when the door when open the door is well lit. The placement of the light needs adjusted so the all of the interior is luminated. No reason to shine on the open door.
I am satisfied with the SMC1464HS unit, it is a keeper. Will I get 18 years out of it? That might outlast me.

End of cooking alarm (5 beeps) cannot be disabled

The end of cooking alarm (5 beeps) cannot be disabled even though user manual gives a process to disable that alarm (confirmed by Sharp customer service). This blatant error in the supporting documents gives me doubts about the microwave's other features. If I had known that end of cooking alarm cannot be silenced I would not have purchased this item. Very disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
