Sharp - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Family-Size Microwave - Stainless steel

Really like this microwave. My old one was the same size inside. but seemed to take up more counter space. This one is pretty "Sharp" looking and blends in well, I don't know the exact outer dimensions of either. My old one looked huge, so many useless buttons, flashing lights & noises. This Sharp microwave is very user friendly. Turn the knob to the time you want to cook and hit start, that's it. Press the knob, and it will stay flush with the outer surface,makes it really quick and easy to wipe the front. It would be great for mom,...... no more calls at 6am or 10pm - "the microwave is blinking & beeping, what button do I need to press?"

I needed to replace an older stainless steel microwave, and chose this model based upon its unique looks. It's worked fine, and is easy to operate. The "knob" can be pushed in or left out, making the front panel look very clean and uncomplicated. The stainless steel does keep fingerprints very easily, so beware that there will be constant wiping. I wish the digital timer wouldn't look like every timer since the 1980's, but thats something that doesn't seem to improve at this price point. Overall, a good buy for the price, and I am quite happy with the performance.

As stated, it works as expected. Except, for some odd reason after 4 minutes (or so) you can only time in 30 second increments (weird). The only real knock is the exterior is a real pain to clean, everything I've tried leaves streaks.

It's nice and light weight without being to small to fit most cookware. Does a great job, perfect popcorn setting. At first I was concerned about a dial versus being able to type in numbers, but it is just as easy. Looks very sleek and easy to clean.

I bought this micro because of the brand. I have a small carousel Sharp which was a gift. It still works well. This new Sharp has fewer buttons that have all the necessary functions. Easy to operate. Nice sleek stainless steel look.

Microwave works well and looks good in our kitchen. I specifically purchased this oven because of the handle (vs. a push button opener). On push to open models, as I had previously, the front was always fingerprinted as there was no other way to close the door without putting a hand on the black shiny front panel..it showed every touch. This oven fingerprints easily as well, but mostly confined to a handle and shows less.

My previous microwave's push button broke and I couldn't open my microwave oven. So I shopped for a microwave with a handle that I could PULL since I was tired of these buttons breaking. This is a good microwave. It took me a little to figure out the sequence to follow when cooking at a lower power level. I wish microwaves still had the option to turn off all that beeping when you push buttons. This one doesn't allow you to silence the beeping. I also miss a decent popcorn popping option. It seems all new microwaves just have these buttons based on the ounces of the packet you're popping except I'm not popping packets. All in all this is a good microwave. Looks good. Works well. Has a HANDLE.

Love this product! Fits perfectly in its spot! Like the knob...better than pushing buttona
