Although I have not used all features and controls as yet, this unit really does the job well
Like my older and larger Sharp Carousel, which is still working after 20 years of use, it warms and cooks fairly fast.
I am happy with this purchase.

This microwave is the perfect size for our office beakroom. I wouldn’t get for home because it wouldn’t fit large items, but in the office everyone is using bowls or plates to warm up lunch and it works perfectly well for that.
It looks good too!

I bought this to replace a Sharp Carousel II which was purchased in 1989. That was a great microwave, and this new Sharp is even better! Plenty of power. Easy to operate. And most important, it cooks evenly. As far as I’m concerned, Sharp knows how to build a microwave.

Works great. It says it has fingerprint proof stainless, but that's not really true. It is better than my last microwave in that way and was not expensive.

Grandma's microwave finally gave out. This one is simple enough for her to operate and heats what she likes to eat. Plus, the sales person showed us that they use it in their break room at Best Buy. No better reference than 30 random people using something for more than a year, and no breakage.

Went everywhere to look a microwave and wasn’t sure what to look for and finally got this one and works great. I thought because it was cheap was a piece of crap. Not always the case still got by it. Still got it

This was a christmas gift for my pastor and his family. They say that it is awesome and love it. It works well for their family with 3 generations sheltering in place under the same roof they desperately needed a replacement of their old microwave.

Bought this microwave oven for my son’s college dorm room. It doesn’t take up much space as it sits right on top of his roommate’s mini refrigerator. It’s perfect for microwaving popcorn, heating water for coffee, etc. we are pleased with this purchase and it is reasonably priced.

Bought this to replace a less expensive brand hoping it'll last more than a year. You'll definitely know it's on when it starts. I thought the lack of a light when you open the door wouldn't bother me until I went to clean it and couldn't see very well.

So far, it’s working well. I knew ahead of time it didn’t have an inside light but I realize I miss having it. I have to get use to it has express time settings, & if I want to use for less than 1 minute I have to manually set it.

Heats like a CHARM! Sometimes I overestimate when I should underestimate the time because I’m used to having to do so on my old microwave. Also goes really well with the stainless steel fridge we have.

This is a fine small microwave. It gets used multiple time every day. Very pleased with it so far. Only quibble is that the inside light is only on when a cycle is running and not when the door opens like our old unit.

After I got I was worried it would take a lot of room.
Box looked a bit bigger but after I pulled the microwave out of the box it was a perfect fit...Although I could have gotten the bigger one and still have enough room.

Very good and strong and durable microwave. The only downside is that it doesn’t light up when you open it. It only lights up while its running. Other than that, im satisfied with my purchase.
