Size is good for a medium sized microwave. Fits a standard sized large plate. Buttons and features are nice. Only con - the light only stays on when the microwave is running. As soon as it stops and you open the door, it’s dark inside. I would much prefer a light that is on even after the doors opened. Otherwise it’s a decent microwave for its price.

This microwave is very simple to use. My mother is not electronically inclined, and this was ideal for her, it fit her place better than her old one the perfect size. I deliberately picked a Sharp Carousel, because the old one I gave to her was a Sharp Carousel, it work fine for about 20 years. So far it’s off to a good start. And by the way thanks for having it in white.

We went from an old style microwave (600) Watt with NO turntable to a 1000 Watt...its taken some time to get used to, especially for my elderly Mom :( Its not a bad microwave for the money & It works really well, so far? I’m not giving it 5 stars because there is no light inside & our old 1 had a light :( My Mom can’t see real well & she wasn't happy about it, but we are making it work.

This microwave is compact and fits in the limited space we have. It's roomy enough on the inside that the platters we use frequently fit inside perfectly which allows the turntable to spin without getting stuck. It's so easy to use that we didn't even have to read the owner's manual. We love it!!

Compact size but powerful enough for anything.I need to do. Lightweight. Have to hit cook time button to set seconds under 1 minute, or to set 90 seconds. Just different then I’m used to. Also light does not come on when you open the door, only when the door is closed and the microwave is running. Unable to tell these things when you buy one that’s display in the store but not plugged in.

I just moved into my first home and I couldn’t decide on which microwave would not only fit but go well with the other appliances that I bought. I came upon this item as it was the only white microwave left at the time and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made. It’s the perfect size and it works just as well as any other microwave. I would highly recommend.

The sharp microwave oven has easy one touch settings the 30 second button is very handy the one touch popcorn setting works great but requires you to push it multiple times for bigger bags example small bag one push medium bag push it twice and so on great product and price

The microwave works as it should and was a fair price in my opinion. Wish the light stayed on when the door was opened though and not just when the microwave was running. Also wish you didnt have to push time cook before entering the amount of time you wanna warm you food up at.

I appreciate the options on the key pad. Especially the add 30 seconds. And I like how once the cooking/heating is complete, it beeps at the end and that is that. My last microwave kept beeping every 60 seconds, or whatever, as a reminder. That drove me crazy.

I had to sadly retire my 20 yr old Sharp Carousel due to paint chipping off the ceiling of the interior. I went with this model in white for a change from the old black oven. It was a nice change. I do miss the button setup but I am getting use to pushing the "time cook" button. I DO really miss the light on when opening the door. It would have been great if that had an optional button for eith on or off. It wasn't a deal breaker. The oven does do baked potatoes better than the old oven but seems to take longer to boil 2 cups of water. OH, and the end time beep is really loud. Too bad it doesn't cut off the three beeps if you open the door. Overall I'm really pleased. I just hope that it lasts as long as my first one.

This microwave was given as a gift to our daughter and son-in-law. The report back was a 4.5 and would have been a 5 if it had an interior light. This complaint was often mentioned in other reviews, but we chose if its other features. They noted that it is easy to use and performs as expected.

So far, I like this microwave very much. It's easy to use, I have an older home and was happy that I could find a white one. The price was the Best Buy. It was priced $24 cheaper than Amazon. They also delivered it the same day I ordered it.

Attractive, clean design with simple operations. Part of the decision is the size, which fits area in my kitchen. Downside is the the push button release for the door---that spring mechanism has failed on my last two Sharp microwaves after several years of use,
past the one year warranty. Everything else worked fine. Hate to add to landfill for one simple mechanical flaw that renders the unit inoperable. Reported to Sharp and their accommodation was to offer to sell me a new one at price that was more than Best Buy. Also the motor is noisy. Otherwise a decent value.

I am really happy with my new microwave , before i had smaller one (700cc) . I was looking for bigger one with good quality, i'm glad i found this sharp brand , very strong and my food is warm very consistent. Time set up is very friendly, and there are many options to warm different kind of foods. I'd recommend this brand to a friend that is in need for a bigger microwave.

In replacing my old microwave I wanted the new one to have a smaller footprint on my kitchen counter. I got the smaller footprint, and a whole lot more. It actually matched the capabilities of the old one. Loaded with features and power, it really stands tall. I can't be sure but I think my popcorn taste better.

Works great!
Good Value!
The only con is that the interior light does not come on when the door is opened.
The light does come on once the microwave is activated and running.
