Customers are saying
Customers highly appreciate the microwave's power and quiet operation. It is also considered user-friendly and reasonably priced. The compact size and attractive appearance, particularly in stainless steel, are additional positive aspects. However, the lack of an interior light is a common complaint, and some users have concerns about the build quality. The absence of a cooking timer is another notable drawback.

Is this normal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The oven seems overly hot when I use it. Is this normal for this product. I am a little nervous using it. I have never had a microwave that is this hot.

Great microwave.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased the clearance, floor-model. No problem at all. Size is good. Simple to use. We use our microwave primarily for reheating food and boiling water. This is just what we wanted. Not a lot of bells and whistles but plenty of programmed options. Great value!

bought it on sale! great quality!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i bought this mainly because of the $30 off sale price which beats the price of lesser-quality brand names from walmart/target/sears. so far, it has been the perfect microwave for our kitchen due to its size (not too big), color (white complements the color of our cabinets) and power (1000 watts). -cooks evenly -operates quietly as compared to our previous microwave oven)

The next day I tried to heat up something and the control panel didn't work. The 2 button registered as a 4 aqnd the 7 button registered as a 9 and the microwave refused to cook.

Easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Smaller unit than what we were replacing so the power was not as high as what we were use to and heating items took longer. After a month the unit stopped working (would not heat) and we had to replace it.

I've always liked Sharp Microwaves!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't normally write reviews, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up in hopes that you'll have a different experience than I did. The Sharp microwave R-309YW that is shown on this website is an older model, so it might not be what you actually receive. I did a search online before deciding which microwave to buy. I've always owned sharp microwaves, and after reading the reviews I decided to buy this one. I needed it quickly so I didn't order it online and went directly to Best Buy instead. They have a lot of microwaves on display, including the one you see in the picture online. I was able to quickly point it out to the salesperson and make the purchase. All was good until I took it out of the box and set it up. It's not the same as the one on display at the store, or the one shown here online. Sharp has changed the features, but kept the model number the same! If you want to see what the newer version is like I'd suggest going to the Sharp website. On the newer version you can no longer just press the number keys and then start. They are now designated as express keys. If you want to use them as number keys you have to press the power button first. Unfortunately the power button is small and not easy to notice right away. The number buttons are also smaller. I'm not sure what else has changed between these two versions of this microwave. I actually wanted the convenience of just being able to press the number buttons, so I was quite disappointed! If I want 15 seconds, I want to press 1, 5, and start.Not find the small power button first. Maybe this wouldn't matter to you. This newer model is very attractive in white. I like the looks a lot! Other things I've noticed so far: The light is only on while cooking, not with the door open; There are three beeps when the cooking is done. These happen all at once. There's no way to stop that from happening, even if you open the door. Early in the morning I'm trying to be quiet, so I don't really like that feature; The feet on the microwave are not rubber, so it does slide around a little. This might be common these days, since the microwaves are not as heavy as they used to be. They also marked up my countertop when I first pushed it into place, but easily cleaned up with a sponge. I hope this review helped. I would certainly recommend this microwave to a friend IF they hadn't changed the numbers layout. But if that's not important to you then you might like this microwave. I'd be happy to respond to any additional questions you might have.

Disappointing quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't buy this product again. Out of the box it was wobbling and after 2 days there was button damage. We had our last microwave for 20 years... This one won't last 20 months. It's also very noisy.
