Glad I gave it a chance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I hesitated at first to buy this microwave because of the dark interior. However, it isn't bad due to the interior light, and splatters don't show as easily (which is also why I hesitated to buy it...I may not clean it as often!) Having to re-learn a new control panel every few years is a pain, but this one has been simple. My old microwave must have lost some power because this one cooks very quickly. I am very happy with this purchase.

Works great but I just have a couple complaints.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave works great and is very quiet. I would have given it 5 stars but I don’t like it that the inside is black and the clock is very bright which I consider to be too bright.

New Sharp Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just what my wife wanted to replace the Sharp Carousel microwave that she had for years that wore out. The only thing she didn't like was the black interior. Makes things too hard to see.

Good Choice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave unit cooks evenly, is fairly quite as well and has preprogrammed settings for one touch operation or you can manually set any time. I definitely would recommend it. The only negative is how load the buzzer is when finished and even when you open the door it still continues to go off. Not a big issue though, just pointing out only con I see.

Great appliance for my kitchen
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My (very) old microwave was having issues and needed replaced. My employer has two of these Sharp units and I knew that it would be a good fit to my counter, besides the quality and confidence I experienced at work. This unit gets lots of use daily and is working flawlessly. It is exactly what I was expecting from Sharp.

Mrs
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Gentleman came in with the product. They took down the old microwave which was attached to a shelving unit above it. They cleared that away, and the new unit just sat on the counter. They were in and out of here in 30 minutes. Great job Best Buy!’.

Reliable, Quiet, User Friendly, Sturdy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the silent mode option that can be turned on/off to eliminate all that beeping! This is the second time I purchased a Sharp carousel microwave -- the first time was in 2010 and it still works! This new one is slightly larger; and I wanted one in white. Thank you, Sharp, for making an excellent product.

Staying Loyal to the Sharp Brand
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Sharp because it was similar to the Sharp Carousel that I owned for 30 years until the start button broke away. The dark interior makes it difficult to see if the interior is dirty or clean....but light interiors were not readily available, so I sacrificed that preference. I've been very pleased with it. It is reasonably quiet, and the only problem was that for 30 years I just entered the time and pressed start. Now I have to press Cook Time, enter the time and press start. It's difficult to remember after doing it the other way for 30 years! It was a very affordable microwave, especially at Christmastime.

Looks good and heats food
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When i opened the door the first time there was a very strong chemical smell coming from the inside. I put a box of baking soda inside, closed the door and let it sit unused for a full week. When I opened it again and removed the box of baking soda, the smell was still there not quite as strong but still unpleasant, so i put a fresh box of baking soda in and left it for another week. After 2 weeks of waiting, the smell was very faint. So I used it for the first time. So far, i am satisfied with how it works, But, every now & then, when I open the door, I can still smell that same chemical odor. On the plus side, the control panel is easy to read and the oven works & does heat food and beverages quickly. If it is still working 2 years from now, I might give an extra star.
