So far so good
I've only had the oven for just over a week so the unit has had only minimal use. Overall we like the microwave and would recommend it. It's powerful and very quiet compared to the one it replaced. This stainless steel unit looks good and matches our other appliances. Our dislikes are minor things but annoying to us nevertheless. The door open button should be made of a material other than stainless steel. It shows every fingerprint that comes in contact with it. The light inside the unit is pretty much useless. It shines towards the open door and doesn't really help to illuminate the dark grey interior of the oven. Lastly and ironically we really dislike the lighted display. Its unnecessarily bright compared to our other appliances and as far as we know cannot be dimmed down like our alarm clocks. We hope to get many years of use from this microwave. Only time will tell.

Perfect solution
I reviewed ten or more with similar features and compared prices across many places. The value for the money is better than is expected. The features of this microwave are perfect.

Poor Interior Light
I'm replacing a 15 year old Sharp Carousel Microwave that was stunningly designed on the outside with a stainless wave. This new one to replace it, you can hardly see inside the light is so dim. Very surprising, since this is my third Sharp Microwave and not run into this issue before.

Sharp 1.1 cu. ft. 1000W Microwave
It is the quietest microwave we have ever owned! The interior lighting is great. It has a darker hue, which is easy on the eyes! The carrousel has a free floating glass plate, that I assume was designed to protect the motor from stress! But the best thing we like about this microwave is, when you open the door when it is beeping, the beeping quits! All the other microwaves we have owned, whether countertop, or over range, have all kept the incessant beeping after the door was opened! All in all, we think you won't go wrong purchasing this countertop microwave, and it is well worth the price!

Attractive, Feature Filled, and Works Great
Purchased this Sharp microwave to replace our previous Sharp that died after 18 years of continuous use. We were delighted to see that Sharp had a model similar to our previous one with all the same, convenient features. We like the grey interior, similar to our main oven. The interior light is bright and useful. The microwave sound is hardly noticeable, not loud at all. The time and temperature features are easy to operate. It heats well at whatever power percentage you select. We love the quick 30 second function and that numbers 1-6 are programmed to give you 1-6 minutes on high at the touch of one button. And we do very much like the illuminated clock that gives just enough light at nighttime to double as a kitchen nightlight. We find the kitchen timer handy for many uses. What's not to like? We wouldn't have bought any other model or brand. Thank you Sharp!

Thrilled with New Microwave!
I purchased this microwave after extensive research to find a quality unit after disappointment with other brands. Sharp had many good reviews & was reasonably priced. This microwave oven is stylish, easy to clean and user friendly. I chose the unit in black to match other appliances in the kitchen. It comes in 3 colors (black, white & stainless steel) to match any decor. Also fits nicely on the countertop at 1.1 cubic feet. This is a 1000 watt microwave, very powerful & effective at its job. There is a similar unit that is bigger with higher wattage but I chose this one to save on electricity. This model also has an LED bulb which should last longer than an incandescent to save energy as well. This oven heats evenly which is important for food safety. I've had other microwaves in past that seem to take forever to cook. This one is very fast for the wattage. Would definitely recommend this unit based on Sharps reputation, ease of use and price point vs. other models.

Reliable Microwave
We used several Sharp microwaves where I worked. Never saw a failure. When it came time for a new one at home, we purchased a Sharp. That was about 10 years ago. When I needed a second unit for a different floor, purchased a Sharp and it too has been flawless.

Worst Microwave I Have Ever Owned
I absolutely hate this microwave. Easy to use but never, ever heats consistently. A coffee cup can be hot to touch and the coffee lukewarm. I had similar years ago and loved it. Really disappointed. Doubt I would buy a Sharp Microwave again given this crummy experience.

Good basic microwave
It seems to me a bit quieter than our previous microwave. I took off one star because I dislike the charcoal-colored interior (hard to tell if clean) and the interior LED light which is weak and makes food look oddly colored.

Way Better than the 20 year old Sharp it replaced
This new one uses less energy but cooks faster than out previous one. Door latching is quieter and smoother. Much nicer than expected.

Needed a good microwave during kitchen remodeling
We needed a small countertop microwave to put in the dining room (our temporary kitchen). This was highly rated and proved to be just what we needed: easy to operate, support information was complete and straightforward, and the unit is attractive (we’ve received several compliments on its looks). Our new kitchen will include a new Sharp pullout microwave. Can’t wait to see how well it will perform.

Great microwave for your everyday needs
My Sharp microwave has made a heck of a difference when it comes to my everyday cooking needs. It reheats my leftovers with ease, melts butter without much effort when I bake and has a safety feature to click UNLOCK to prevent children from accessing hot foods after reheating.
