Simple controls and good power for reheating or cooking fresh items. Revolving glass plate helps cook more evenly but still need to move center items to outside part way through for equal heating.

Unlike some smaller size microwaves, this one has enough power to get the job done. Easy to use and does have the 30 second button feature. I'm happy with this purchase for my office kitchen...

Small and compact which is what my daughter needed for apartment living . It has pretty good features and gets the job done . Cooking time is consistent, and you can’t beat the convenience of a microwave .

This Sharp Microwave is a great size for a medium to large kitchen and is very easy to figure out how to use. If you need a oven this is the one you should get.

I needed a white, semi-powerful microwave for a rental property that would fit in a certain space and this one did the trick. It is easy to use and cooks things fast....what more do you want from a microwave?!

Cute Little Microwave

We decided to downsize our microwave. When this one caught our eye we hesitated, thinking it would be "too small," (even though we were downsizing!), not powerful enough (our current one was 1200 W), but definitely "cute."
We don't regret purchasing this microwave for an instant. It is extremely easy to use, the panel is clearly printed and very easy to see. The interior is unexpectedly spacious, considering this is a "mid-size" model. Our large plates fit in the middle of the carousel quite nicely, without scraping the sides.
The instructions are well-written, clear and direct and very easy to follow for the 'technically challenged.'
We highly recommend this item.

This microwave replaced an earlier Sharp carousel model that had lasted me over 25 years. This one is improved in power and the options the buttons provide and so I love it even more than my previous one.

It's better than I ever expected it to be. You look nice in the store but it's bigger than I thought it was and it works like a dream I would definitely recommend it for anyone that likes warm food.

Reliable easy to use microwave

This is my 2nd Sharp Carousel microwave. The 1st one lasted more than 10 years and survived a cross-country move. The preprogrammed buttons (like popcorn) on this microwave are accurate and cook items well. If you want to cook for a whole number of minutes you can just hit that one number (like 1 for 1 whole minute, 2 for 2 minutes, etc). The only thing I don't like about it is that if you don't use a preprogrammed button or cook for even minutes you must hit Time Cook first and then the seconds or minutes and seconds. The Time Cook button is not immediately obvious or easy to find.

This microwave replaces another Carousel model that I bought 12 years ago. It's a bit smaller, but it's very easy to navigate and works very well on a variety of foods. I am very happy with this purchase as this model seems more substantial than other models that are much pricier.

Really nice basic microwave. Has plenty room and not that big a footprint. We got it to replace our built-in that died. Very reasonably priced, and can't' imagine any more features that we'd make use of. Good value and quality.

I was to find this microwave in white. Most of the ones that I saw were stainless steel, black or red. So far it is working well and I'm happy with my purchase after the sudden and literally burn out (with flames) of my other one.

Wanted white, choices were limited. Good size and power for limited countertop space. Cooks as it should and the settings are simple to
learn. Only negative is it's noise level is above my old Kenmore.
The metal case resonates more. But, acceptable.

Starting a new house from scratch I needed everything. Went to Best Buy and the young man showed me all my options for microwaves. Even pulled up the dimensions for me. This microwave fits in the area I have and it works perfectly for all my needs

A Little Clunky But Does The Job

This microwave is a good intermediate size and wattage. There is no problem fitting large plates, yet it doesn't hog the entire counter. It is easy to operate. It feels a bit clunky but maybe that means it's solid. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.

For its size and output, it’s a good microwave for the price. It’s basically the same as the Magic Chef, which I replaced it with and which lasted about 10 years. I’m hoping this will last as long.

We’ve had it only 3 weeks but it works great. Other people noted: 1. no interior light; however as soon as you open the door, the light comes on. 2. noisy: it makes less noise than my other one did. To me it’s really quiet.
3. the rotating glass inside makes noise; it happened to me once, but it was because it was off its track. No real problem. I’m very satisfied so far.

Sharp 1000kw microwave

This was a replacement for an oven that I had had for 20 years. I was sure I would not find one that I would like as much. However, this product fit the bill. Only 2 issues with it. It only has 1000kw instead of the 1100kw I had. I have had to adjust the length of time for heating by a little bit in order to get it hot enough for my taste. My old one would actually give 1 minute reminder beeps after completing the initial time. Most foods require leaving it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes after done. Because this oven does not give the reminder beeps I have to get up and set the timer for this extra time. Not bad otherwise.
