I see that it has a very large plate for fitting larger items inside to be microwaved

Moved into a new home and the microwave there was ancient and unpowered, so went looking for a new one. It’s actually difficult to find one like this. Most have the “too much” or “too little”. “Too much” being why need an oven with having that, too little being toaster could heat it better. This one is slightly on the larger side for a counter top one but fits well. The stainless does well with keeping fingerprints off but the button pad isn’t as well, but nothing even remotely bad. It has the turn table inside. I love having all the options for softening butter, ice cream, etc...I did not read the whole manual to set the clock and stuff but it is set up with the “quick minute”-meaning when you just press 1, 2, 3, or 4(etc.) it will cook for that many minutes (1=1:00..) It also has a 30sec button. So yes very easy and quick. But you can’t just enter 45sec, you have to first press the power button and then put in the time you want if it not the basic round times of the quick minutes. This feature can be nice but can also be a bit iffy. The power is so strong, I think is 1200w...popcorn that took almost 4m now takes barely 2m. The sensor reheat I like, it has cooked my food evenly and thoroughly but my teenage boys just like using 45secs and get their food reheated. Of course with the boys comes splattered food in a brand new appliance of course. I was able to wipe up spaghetti sauce off of white walls with no staining or residue, nor even a hard cleaner needed! Now we have only had this for about a month with no issues but I expect it to last a few years without losing power or any glitches. I will update my review if I have any issues. I would definitely recommend this and urge you to buy this one or one of similar features instead of the cheap models for $100.

Excellent power plenty of room easy to use plenty of useful features and pre programmed settings it is a little big but worth the space it takes

This Sharp - 2.2 Cu. Ft. Full-Size Microwave is the best. It is very large and you can cook multiple things at the same time. I had the exact same model prior, but lightning and a power surge during a storm fried my old one. New one does well. Very well priced at Best Buy. New model has some changes tho. Before you could just punch in time, this one has preset times to use (eg: 1-6 mins), so that isn't the same, but its OK, there is another button to push to go back to just time. I highly recommend this one. It is truly one of the best one's on the market. NO, I'm not paid for this review and NO I didn't get it for free, altho I wish i would have.

A GREAT MICROWAVE WITH PLENTY OF ROOM AND HAS GOOD POWER TO DO WHAT YOU WANT IT TO DO. REAL EASY TO OPERATE. REALLY LIKE ALL THE FEATURES IT HAS.
