Sharp SMD2489ES 1.2 Cu. Ft. Stainless Microwave Drawer Oven

We bought this microwave as part of a kitchen re-model. Replaced the over-the-range microwave we had for 30 years so we could install a power vent instead. This is a very convenient option instead of an over-the-range or countertop oven. We've been using it for about 3 months, and so far, we are very happy with it. The convenience was worth the premium cost, and Alexa compatibility is great. It heats foods evenly, even though there is no turntable. The HEIGHT of items that fit into the oven is limited--a few of my taller glasses don't fit in the oven, but a change in my daily habits fixed that. One minor complaint: while you can OPEN the oven with a voice command, you can't CLOSE the oven with one.

Had it for a few weeks, I like the drawer feature and hidden control panel. The one big negative is it's so loud. Ridiculous Loud.

We bought this microwave for our new home. I absolutely love it! Not having it on the counter is a huge plus. I haven't experienced any issues with it.

My drawer microwave is well located in the island of a newly renovated kitchen and works beautifully.

The drawer design is very convenient for an under-counter installation like ours. This unit replaced a traditional designed microwave that required kneeling to use. However, the Sharp is not quite as powerful requiring longer cooking times. The main design flow of the Sharp is the timer function, that every microwave should have and be easy to use. On this model, there is no dedicated timer button; rather it is embedded in the button to access the microwave's settings (clock, wi-fi, alarms, etc.). Sharp, for some reason, placed the timer feature (used frequently) second in the settings behind clock (used rarely). Consequently, it is easy to reset the clock when you think you are setting the timer. There are other ease of use features missing from Sharp that where part of our previous microwave. Despite the minor shortcomings, the microwave is working well for us.

The microwave works well. No exploding food! The "wave to open" feature does not work well.

We love the sharp microwave wave open drawer. Works great.

Recently did a kitchen remodel and we wanted a microwave drawer. Before making the decision did my due diligence and looked at reviews and found that Sharp is the only true manufacturer of the drawer model so that narrowed our decision and the exact model was narrowed by the features of it. I love the option of motion door opening. I leave that turned on but i have had it open when it wasn't intended but that was user error. We place the drawer near a location that we stand in front of and dry dishes so the motion option is accidentally activated. But again it not the drawer fault but be aware of your placement. I am confident that if it was in another location it would not be accidentally activated. Just standing in front or walking way will not cause it to open. The option to use the Sharp app to operate it is another nice feature. The Wattage power is excellent and performance in reheating or cooking has been spot on. The interior size of the drawer is excellent for our use and no complaints there. The close drawer options are great. You can nudge it closed or select an option on the pop open control panel. While speaking about the panel and reason for our decision the glass control panel and not a plastic surface. We use the microwave daily and it when the panel starts to show wear. Hopefully it would not happen with the glass and removing fingerprints it a simple wipe. The hidden panel is also another reason for our decision. We've owned the microwave for several month and do not regret our decision. This a superior product.

Terrible product. The panel shorts and the microwave dies. When I got it serviced the repairman told me it was full of cheap electronics and that he saw most of them only last a few months. I use mine rarely and it only lasted 2 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this microwave for our new home, and it not only looks fantastic but it also performs better than any microwave we’ve ever owned. Highly recommended

The Sharp 2489ESD is a very good microwave. The only objection I have with it is that it doesn’t have a rotating plate like most microwaves have. Since it’s missing this feature the food doesn’t get hot evenly across.

I have been using this microwave since our remodel was finished on January 23 2025. So far I love it. And am pleasantly surprised at how well it works. I am hoping it will work for a long time.

The App for my Google Pixel phone is not available and some features are only upgradable using the phone app, like the wave to open.

the drawer microwave works well, but I wish the panel was lit while using so I could see it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this microwave and glad that we bought it from Slyman Brothers

This product worked well for us over the last two years and looks good. Then last week we started smelling burning and noticed sparks flying in the back of the microwave. Even with nothing in the microwave at all, this still happens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First unit had a glitch but Sharp was responsive and got me a replacement in a timely manner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are not early adopters of new technology so converting from an over-the-cooktop microwave to the drawer was big! And we love it. It’s easy to use. Stays cleaner because removing the heated containers from the drawer is easier and safer than from an eye level microwave.

Purchased a few months ago and couldn’t be happier!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We previously had the traditional door style microwave. When we underwent a home remodel we decided to try Sharp's microwave drawer. Can't tell you how wonderful this item is. The drawer feature makes access much easier. Also, there is no rotating turntable inside to clean and it heats extremely well. Highly recommend. Love it!!!
