What's not so great: Hard-to-read display
This microwave is awesome! It heats and re-heats both fast and throughly. I was used to and old (really old) microwave so the first couple times I used this one I got things a little too hot. But I adjusted my time and works great! The only bad thing is the display. You must be at eye-level or a few feet away to read it.

What's great about it: defrost ice-cream with no damage :) Turns rock hard bricks of ice-cream turn into an easily scoopable ice-cream.
We can't get enough of the "ice-cream defrost" button. It really works!!! It defrosts the ice-cream with no damage to the ice-cream!!!! :) Love it :)

What's great about it: Power and reliability
What's not so great: labeling size
This microwave is loaded with "preset" cooking times. The only recommendation I have is to make the labels easier to read. The preset cooking times work very well. I tested the popcorn on the mini-bag and regular bag settings and nearly all kernels were popped (mini-bag only takes 1 min 5 sec). This model does not have "sensor" cooking, but if you properly follow suggested cooking times or use the preset times you shouldn't burn anything. For the power, convenience and reliability of a Sharp product, Best Buy had the best price.

What's great about it: Everything!
I'm primarily using this microwave to cook frozen entrees when I am in a hurry. I love the programmed cooking times based on the entree sizes. They have taken the guessing out of how long to cook the entrees when the package gives a wide time range in the instructions.

Display is not readable when viewed from certain angles. Short-cut buttons are not helpful; I'd rather have a straight forward power and time settings. Other than these two short comings the microwave does the job.

What's not so great: display
I really like my new microwave with the exception of the time read-out. From certain directions it is not legible. I have to bob and weave to see if it is on full power, how much time is left, etc. I see that others have this same problem but in actuality it is minimal. The size accomodates large dishes, is easy to clean and has sufficient power for all cooking. One thing it lacks is the beverage indicator for reheating coffee, etc.

What's great about it: The Look !!
What's not so great: LED display
After my old Whirlpool died after many years of service, I wanted to buy something of the same size & power. After spending many hours of exploring different options, finally I landed in Sharp - mainly 'cos of the good reviews in Bestbuy website. I love the facts: it looks stylish with its silver & white color combo, BIG turntable, 1.4 cu for only 99$(bought it on sale). Its only been a week since I bought it & very happy about it. Hopefully, I can use this for many years to come without any trouble. The power is OK i guess - just more or less similar to my whirlpool model(though i expected this to be more powerful - its not). I use this mainly for re-heating food & not cooking any. The only MAJOR complaint is the LED light (same that everyone has been mentioning) - its crazy & irritates me a bit often. Other than that, the usage is v.easy, not so noisy, sleek & modern looking. Recommend to anyone who wants to try this model in Sharp :-)

What's great about it: Easy to set up, durable, great price, perfect size
This microwave replaced another Sharp that I had for 10+ years. It's just as sturdy as my old one yet still lighter. Packaging was excellent. The microwave was undamaged and in perfect condition on unboxing. It's simple to operate and doesn't disappoint. I got it for <$125.00, so it was definitely worth it.

I've had this microwave since the end of Oct. 2011. I didn't want to write a review till I knew whether I liked it or not. I would have given it 41/2 stars if I could, but didn't think my one irritations should cost it a whole star.
When you cook something, it dings to let you know its ready, then the light keeps flashing the word end, in the clock window, till you open the door, or push the stop/clear button. I've let it flash a while, and it hasn't seem'd to hurt anything. Also like others have said, you have stand back a little to see whats in the instruction window. Expecially if your tall. I don't even notice it now.
While its not sensor cooking, it does about anything I need it to do. by using the settings provided. Baked potatoes and popcorn, get done with the touch of a button. As with anything, read the book. Its easy to use once you do.
My First Sharp microwave lasted 28 years. Second Sharp over 10 , It was a 2 CU 1200 watt R530EW. You can still get that same microwave new at Best Buy. Sharp never changed their model numbers. It has lot of sensor cooking options, and costs less than 10 years ago. Its great.
I wanted something close to what I had but wanted to size down a bit to something I could better handle. This one is just right . Its bigger inside than most midsize, has a 14 inch tray which is larger than any midsize I found and I can't tell any difference going from the 1200 watt down to 1100. I was afraid I would. I don't think you can go wrong with this microwave for this price. Especially if it lasts, like my last two. Keep the door frame clean so it seals properly when closed. I'm told that helps.

What's great about it: good capacity and power
What's not so great: inefficient controls and impossible to read display
This model has good power and size (as advertised). However when positioned at counter height, you need to play limbo and lower your line of sight in order to read the display. As others have pointed out, from up close, with your eyes above looking down at the screen you see 'crazy diodes' where every diode on the display appears lit. I had to return the unit as it was unusable the way it is designed. every other microwave oven i've owned had a legible display at normal (on the counter) viewing angle.

What's not so great: nothing I can detect....
I am very pleased with this microwave, which replaced my 26 yr old one. It is working as it is supposed to, no problem with reading the front panel (have to don my glasses, of course, lol). I shopped online and having experienced Best Buy's great shipping/delivery service, they did not disappoint me. It was speedy and convenient.

What's great about it: Plenty of power, good looks, controls, great price.
What's not so great: Only quirk: LED display angle.
I'm happy with the oven. But one thing really bothers me. When I placed it on my kitchen counter (35.5" height) and plugged it in, I thought something was wrong with the display. My wife, standing back about five feet, said the display was fine. I'm about 5'10", and when I walk up to the oven to use it and press keys, the display looks like gobbly-gook. If I kneel down about five inches, or step back from the oven about three feet, it's fine. This was not a problem with my previous microwave. This display has a narrow range of angle of view, and maybe for someone five inches shorter than me, no problem, or if you hang it under a cabinet where it would be at eye level. But I have to do a knee bend each time I punch in the numbers if I want to see the result of my input. I would suggest to the engineers to angle the LED display a tad, which would eliminate the problem

What's great about it: Great value
What's not so great: not available in the store, but worth ordering online
This is our second Sharp microwave. It is just the right size for our family of four. We use it almost everyday. It was bigger and less expensive than other brands. The only drawback we had was that our local Best Buy did not carry the Sharp microwave in their store, but ordering it on online was quick and easy.

What's great about it: It's another well-designed Sharp microwave oven.
What's not so great: Product registration website has models R410xx and R-410xx. Only a Sharp employee knows the difference!!!
My new Sharp R-410LW was delivered on 3/24/2011 and replaces the only other Sharp microwave oven that I have purchased. This was a model R7650 that failed after 35 years of daily use.
The R-410LW has the same volume cavity with 1100 watts of power versus 750 and more features than I will ever need. It has a smooth white oven surface that will be easy to clean versus stainless steel in the event of a spill. Moreover, it is easy to set-up: 1. Unpack the box and remove all packing material from the oven. 2. Slip the Turntable Support into the motor shaft and lay the turntable on the support. 3. Plug it in.
Overall, it looks very nice in my home.
The purchase from Best Buy was very convenient.
