    A Quick Look at the Sharp Microwave Oven.

    Recently purchased this Sharp microwave oven to replace an older version of this same model. This is a very quick look at it. The oven is large enough to accept any container that we have around the house and any prepackaged food item that we've purchased. One immediate difference is with the internal lamp. The old unit had a lightbulb that emitted a warm white light just like a standard incandescent lightbulb. This new model has a bulb that emits a light that is more bluish in color. The unit is very quiet during operation (much more so than the older version that it replaced). Programming-wise, it operates identically as its older counterpart. The oven cooks food fairly well. No issues heating things such as soup, frozen foods or heating coffee & other hot drinks. All in all, a good choice for a family-sized microwave ove

    I had this microwave shipped to me. It came in with the side bent in. I called Best Buy and they told me they would have someone come and exchange it. Instead, I got an e-mail stating I had to wait for UPS to come and get it. It will take up to 10 days to refund my money. This is very disappointing. I expect better from Best Buy.

    This is the best microwave I have owned so far. It is very quiet and has very simple to use quick cooking functions. I have not gotten into any of the more advanced functions, but I don't really use those anyway. Great size, super quiet and heats very well and even.

    Like others say, it is big, powerful and quiet. I like everything except...the door unlock button. You have to click a separate button EVERY time you want to open the door after cooking. Very stupid and unnecessary. May be a deal breaker. Will use a week and see if I hate as much as I do today.

    This is our third microwave over a 30-year period. We consistently come back to Sharp Carousel because it does exactly what we need it to. It's large and powerful enough to heat and cook everything we need it to.

    This is a spacious and powerful microwave. Just like the barbershop in Coming to America, it's My-T-Sharp! This replaced a 23-year old spacious and fantastic Sharp Platinum Collection bought open box at Best Buy all those years ago that finally gave out with a flash behind the wave guide cover. I figured that it was easier to just replace than repair after more than two decades. And so I had to pick out another Sharp microwave. This has all the bells and whistles I wanted, such as excellent sensor reheating and space enough to reheat an entire Pyrex pan of lasagna, as well as the new inverter tech. It amazes me how people won't bother to read. You don't have to unlock the door each time. Sharp published the all too easy instructions to disable: https://shop.sharpusa.com/child-resistant-door-lock-support/?srsltid=AfmBOooln6koOFQjx_u3f7h9DfWXjFxohtAOOuNlBFFFnok3NBeHwKiW

    So Quiet I Thought It Was Broken

    This microwave is beyond! It is unlike any other microwave I have ever encountered. The Inverter technology completely changes the microwave game! It cooks evenly... Gone are the days of burnt around the edges and still frozen in the middle. On top of that, it is so quiet that the first time that I used it, I thought that I had gotten a defective unit because I couldn't hear it!

    I purchased this item because our microwave broke. I wanted one that had similar features and was as large as possible and as powerful as possible to fit into my kitchen. Unfortunately, I have a built-in microwave situation. Not even in a hood, one not a countertop one. It’s very hard to find built in microwaves. This works. It seems to meet our needs although it might be a countertop one. I like that the light is white instead of being incandescent. It’s easy to clean. It’s very spacious on the interior and it has one touch cooking and sensor cooking sensor reheating. We use it every day! It was an excellent value.

    This microwave is powerful and SUPER quiet! Its massive inside too. Had it for a few months now without any issues. Installed it in a cabinet using the optional wall kit. Install was easy and unlike the microwave we replaced, you didn't have to screw a bunch of ducting etc to the microwave. It just sat inside the cabinet on holes that matched the feet location. Wall kit is linked below. This model was not listed but after contacting Sharp they informed me that it would fit, and it did. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sharp-30-in-built-in-microwave-trim-kit-for-smc2266hs-silver/6600456.p?skuId=6600456

    This microwave is so quiet we had to look through the window to see if was actually working. The door lock safety feature has taken a while to get used to and the door release button is pretty hard to push in. Overall, it is the best microwave i have ever seen. I would definitely recommend.
