Nice cheap but functional unit that does everything you need for a low price. This isn't a model kitchen unit but a very solid tabletop unit.

Nice microwave for an inexpensive price. Only complaint is that it's only 1000 watts. Most cooking instructions are for 1100 watt microwaves. Thank goodness I found a conversion chart!

Compact in size, good for my family of 4. Takes 2-3 mins to reheat food right out from the fridge. This is to replace my 15 yrs old bulky Sharpe Carousel.

Very happy this microwave. Works well and looks nice. It is a little noisy as other views mentioned. Only had ours about 5 weeks so hoping the noise doesn't get louder.

If your first buy is a lemon, return it immediately, which is what we had to do with our 1st Sharp purchase. Best Buy was very good in replacing it at the store. We are very happy with this microwave. It does everything we need.

I am very pleased with my new counter-top microwave. It is mid-size, so cannot accommodate large dishes — but it is perfect for warming and cooking smaller to average amounts. I use it several times each day — a valuable new addition to my kitchen.

This is quite big for its size but heats the food really fast. Got the open box variety for a very good price.
Color is a little off putting, but everyone has their own preference. Does what it is intended to.

Nice product. Simple to use and warms/cooks nice.
However the glass plate that sets on center notch is rather difficult to replace when removing.

My son and I picked this out for his birthday. It replaced an ancient microwave and he says that it works great. He loves the size and the wattage, which heats twice as fast as his old one.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. A little small on the inside, but that is due to the size I bought. Great brand with an ease of use that anyone can operate.

Microwave died in less than 8 months

I bought this microwave less than 8 months ago and yesterday it completely stopped working. When I tried to use it, it made a very loud humming noise and there is a slight smell of burning plastic. The food in the microwave was not heated at all. I think the magnetron stopped working but for a cheap microwave like this, the repair would cost more than the original unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My old microwave quit working and I bought this because Sharp is usually a good brand and the wattage was what I needed. It also is a bit bigger than the microwave I had before but not too big, which is just what I wanted!

I bought this Sharp microwave to replace my old Sharp Carousel microwave, which lasted for 25 years or so. I figured I stick with Sharp. I also like the key pad design which makes it easy to use.

Bought this to fit in the small space I have and it was cheaper than replacing the broken rotating glass in my old one. use mostly for popcorn and quick heating items, but haven't really used to cook.
