I bought this Sharp white microwave to replace a microwave that was showing inside wear. I ordered white so it would not make my countertop look overwhelmed. It does an excellent job with features that were more than I had before and are perfect for a countertop microwave. I don’t think the noise of this microwave is at all unusual. I am pleased with the purchase and purchase experience. I’ve had it a short period of time, however, at this point I would purchase this item again.

The Sharp - Carousel 1.1 Cu. Ft. Mid-Size Microwave in white, is a good, but not great value and has plenty of features that make the use of it very easy. The add 30-second button allows additional, 30 sec., increments to be added WHILE the microwave is on; which while not absolutely unusual, is not found on all microwaves in this range. The one-touch buttons are accurate to their respective categories and the turntable is not as noisy as some other competitors'. The only weak spot is that the cabinet is not as solid as older models of the same brand and flexes a bit too much in my opinion. Aside from that, it is a good performer at a good, but not great, price.

I want to first start out saying that this was sort of a gift to my grandmother because her microwave was really old and didn’t work properly. I was essentially replacing what I thought was a stronger microwave with a slightly smaller and slightly weaker one but I was definitely surprised with the new one’s efficiency. Granted that this microwave wasn’t exactly cheap, I managed to get one in the same color as her old one and has the brand I stand by like the one in my house. I bought this model because I can trust Sharp for its quality. My mother bought the one we had in our house nearly 15 years ago for a huge discount and it works well to this day to put things into perspective a bit. I must say I appreciate the express buttons where you just tap on 1-6 and you get 1-6 minutes in a few seconds. Plus there are no more accidents involving changing the clock instead of setting the operational time. Overall this is an excellent replacement microwave, it warms things evenly and quickly even on the 30sec interval option and the design is great and more modern.

The microwave works well and actually has more power than I expected. I do wish that the light would come on when the door is opened (it is on of course while cooking), but I guess you have to give up something at this price. Overall an excellent buy for the price, and since it's a Sharp I expect it to last a long time.

limited color availability at BestBuy of white microwaves lead us to purchase this unit. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality build and the ease of use. Operationally easy to deal with it is very powerful for the use that we are in need of, reheating food and fast cooking potatoes. Excellent choice for an everyday use item.
