Replacing One Sharp with Another!

Recently, our Sharp microwave played out. It had been an excellent microwave for some 10 years. In that time I replaced the inside cover for the magnetron once, That was the only maintenance it needed in a decade of use. I figured since it was so reliable, I would replace it with another Sharp product. I found one that matched the old one in power and bought it. It is great! It has everything we need, and I love the 30 second feature in the start button. It will add 30 seconds each time you press it!

This microwave is big. I got the white which has a true white outside and inside color. I have had it for about a month now and it is easy to operate and heats and cooks evenly. There is enough room for a large casserole dish with lid inside. Love the round button to open the door and the larger clock display.

The interior on this unit is one of the largest for a counter top model. Controls are easy to use, and plenty of power at 1200W.

My sharp microwave is larger than my LG was. I liked the smaller size, but am liking the larger space inside for cooking. Works great and is easy. Lots of neat features.

Nice full size microwave. I bought this to replace a Panasonic Model NN-H965WFA that died after 2 years of daily use. I would have given this 5 stars but the controls are harder to read and use. Very small print on the controls and setting the cook time is more complicated than the Panasonic.

In order to get my perfect microwave I had to return the first one which overheated and shut off the first time we used it. However, we have had the replacement for about a month and it is working well. It has a lot of cool features. Popcorn button that you can pick the weight of the bag to get a better pop. However beware of the ice cream button unless you like ice cream soup. Overall a good product.

This microwave is perfect in the kitchen for making small meals, heating leftovers, or cooking large amounts for dinner guests. The white color looks so nice in the kitchen.

Good performing microwave. Lots of options to choose from in setting cooking times. Interior large enough for large size plates and other dishes. Nice turntable for even heating.

My wife and I have purchased Sharp microwaves for over 30 years! These are very dependable and long lasting! We are getting 10-12 years life span out of every oven! Very easy to use and very dependable for its cost! I highly recommend this size and brand (Sharp)! Bought on sale with free shipping, other retailers couldn't beat this offer!

We are very pleased with the size and wattage of this microwave. Wish it was a little bit more quiet while in operation.

Read the reviews before buying and this doesn't disappoint, it's 1200 watts and works fast and is quiet while running. The only thing is the door is loud when it closes, they could have put a little more padding or insulation into the door, if you want to use it at night you have to hold the button in and close it quietly. Otherwise it works great and can hold most everything as far a size.

Beep signal drives us crazy

This microwave works well although the sensor reheat tends to over heat food. The triple beep at the end of the cycle drives us nuts. It beeps and then does it all over again as a reminder in about a minute. There is no option to turn off this "feature". I would happily turn off all sound if that was an option but it is not.

This unit is working out well. It has a larger interior than our last unit but doesn't take up much more space. The power levels and great sensors work quite good as well.

Does the job, but is a step lower than previously

This model replaced my older, slightly lower power Sharp microwave when the old one died. This one has 'simplified' controls which are not as intuitive nor as convenient as the previous Sharp microwave. For example, the old one allowed any length of cook time to be entered in one step, and then started. This one has short times (up to six minutes) set from the keypad with one touch, but longer times require selecting a power setting first, and then a cook time. The automatic additional 30 second selection (one minute on previous microwave) cannot be used in most settings, so when wanting to add time to beverage for larger than the programed amount, you have to wait for the first cycle to end, clear it, and then add additional time.

Great microwave overall. Love the large size and ease of use.
Only problem is the never ending beeping after use until you open it or turn it off.

Couldn't be happier with this Sharp Carousel in its first month. I was surprised how well potatoes came out, i'm used to a convection oven so didn't think it would do as well with a simple baked potato, but it's great! It also has a "soften" setting.. and recommend you use a bowl for softening butter, because it was a total meltdown. It pauses the "nuking" to do it over the space of a minute, but in a full minute it was toast. (See what i did there....lol)

We replaced a Sharp Carousel from the 1990s with this very similar model. The sensor cooking is a great feature and it cooks the food just fine. We miss our single button "dimmer plate" and "beverage" buttons. This number pad has the "0" on the right side instead of where it is on every other keypad in the world. This is a great product for the price.
