This microwave is good. It has a lot of power. Great price range. Easy to operate. Perfect size for me.

This purchase replaced another Sharp microwave that we had for about 13 years. It is smaller than what we had but holds a dinner plate and the small casserole dishes we use. The only thing I don’t like, and the reason for 4 stars, is that there isn’t a light on when you open the door. The light is on during cooking but is off when the door is open. So, when cleaning it, you need a light from some other source to see inside. Works well, have had to learn to adjust cook times as it is not as powerful as our last one but it was our decision to go for a smaller unit due to size of kitchen. Wanted the Sharp as we had Sharp in the past and have other appliances by them and have been very happy with those purchases.

I don't know if you all know, but Sharp was the innovator of the Microwave and supplies most of the other manufacturers with their microwave parts, so I always tend to buy a Sharp. The Sharp 1.1 mid-sized Carousel which is stainless steel, is basic with key features for defrost, baked potato, popcorn, has a light inside, and a beeper when things are done. So, nothing super special, but it does a great job of cooking, the carousel turns properly, the door is easy to open and shut. It's simply a breeze to use, as well as set up, you don't have to be a genius.
