Love htis microwave

What's great about it: one touch use!
What's not so great: nothing yet-- maybe, no melting feature?
My last Sharp Carousel micorwave last 14 years. I absolutely LOVED it. People thought I was strange because I was so fond of my microwave. We were going to replace it with an over the range micorwave but I absolutely could not find one that compared to my old one. So I gave up and continued using my old one until it recently died. Lo and behold, Sharp has a countertop micorwave with the same features as my old one!! (Their comparable OTR model is hideous!) The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because we have not had it long (a month or so?) and I can't be sure they are made as well as they used to be. But if they are, here's to 14 more years!
In my opinion Sharp has the best sensor features for the best price. I was going to have to order this from Amazon until I walked into Best Buy and discovered they are now carrying Sharp. So for less than $200 I got a microwave that works as well or better than my old one and I hope it lasts as long-- even half as long would be well worth it!
Best feature: One touch frozen food cooking. Never read the directions again!! Any microwave dinner of any size: one button. Any frozen vegetable of any size: one button. Now even the defrost buttons are one touch!

What's great about it: The size
What's not so great: The defroster
We purchased this microwave after our other microwave went out. This microwave is beautiful. It's stainless steel & very easy to clean. We also like the higher wattage.
The one complaint we have is the defroster. 1st, you can't defrost more than 3lbs at time. So if you are cooking for a family of 4 it gets really hard to defrost your meat. Our last microwave, we just put in the weight & it calculated the time. This one does this as well, but with the weight restrictions it can be annoying. Especially, when you don't know how many minutes it is going to take to defrost an item. You have to basically guess.
If you do have something that is less than 3lbs you can use the auto defrost where you choose your type of meat & defrost. I find this option to be very annoying. I am pretty busy around dinner time & want to press 2lbs and not have to worry about the microwave. This microwave every 2-3 minutes requests your attention. You must go downstairs and pull the meat apart. If you don't come to turn the meat the microwave will wait. The 1st time I didn't know this & was upstairs so I didn't hear the beep. I came back down 10 minutes later expecting to be able to continue cooking and there was my microwave saying turn over. When I pressed start it had 8 minutes left on the time. I don't know about others, but I do not turn over my meat or pull it apart. I tried using the 30% power setting for defrosting, but it seems not do defrost my meat.
Other than this 1 quirk, it's a great microwave. I would recommend it to a family member or friend. I just think people need to know about this issue.

What's great about it: Sensor cooking that works well
So far so good. Have had this for a couple of months and it works great.
The sensor cooking works better than I hoped and I use it all the time now. It is def a big one. Looks nice but only real SS in the front. It is good value as the ones that cost $100 more could not be better than this one.

What's great about it: Reliable performance and adequate power.
What's not so great: Minimal stainless steel ( front face only )
This product was a replacement for the same brand and series of microwave. Changed to stainless steel to match other stainless steel appliances recently purchased. Adjusting to sensor reheat vs the older model reheat by regular, small or large. Good quality and performance if you have the space.

What's great about it: size, price, reliability, performance
What's not so great: a tad noisy
The Sharp microwave was good. It cooks and reheats well. The settings for defrosting frozen rolls is nice. It still works. The order and shipment process was uneventful. The fact that I could take it back to a store for returns (although I have not had to use this feature) was a plus.

What's great about it: Does the job well
Very disappointed. This was a replacement for an older model from 10 years ago. After 2 weeks it just plain quit. And of course, you cant just take it back. Had to go about 35 miles to Warranty Service.
Warranty Service did a good job of repairing
As far as the microwave itself, now that it is running, it works well and i like it. Would have given 4 or 5 stars, but for the problem.

What's great about it: performs great
What's not so great: not for long haul
This model performed well while it lasted. My in-laws purchased this model in 2007 with a 4 yr warranty. So here we are in 2011, warranty expires in June, and no one remembered to buy another extended warranty. Now Nov. 2011 microwave decides to start flashing inside and there's a big burned spot in the wall. We have a backup microwave made by someone else from 1985 so we'll use that one for now.

This microwave replaces a Panasonic model that died on me after having it for 4 years. Good features, even cooking, easy to use, and 1200 watts is a good amount of power. Looks great on the counter too!

What's great about it: Uncomparable to other brands/models.
What's not so great: See how long it last.
Ok I bought it. Did alot of reserching. Best Buy $184 including tax. It is a huge. So do not buy this unless you have the space. I really do not need one this big but similar smaller models of other brands were only $20 cheaper. This was the highest rated on the web. I would be concerned about having this shipped this was packed for store purchases. Fit on my fridge. Has a night light and computer prompting to start you out and cook on a daily basis. Do not even think about buying the Sharp R410LK the door is really plastic. The plastic even bends when you touch it with your finger. How ever this models seems pretty solid. Beeping…one of my concerns…. the beeping is very low cannot even hear it from the other room and It is not beeping every few minutes after the food is finished demanding you attend it. It cooked my meal. Hope it last for a few years. It is a big investment considering I could have bought 3 of the really cheap ones for the same price. Will reture if problems.

This is an improvement over the last Sharp microwave. We enjoyed the white smaller Carousel 1000 W but it started acting up occasionally after many years of use. This one is a bit classier with its Stainless Steel exterior and larger size. It's also more powerful at 1200W. The sensor cooking is something the older model didn't have and so far it is fairly handy. We hope it lasts as long as the last one.
It IS a larger unit and fortunately our counter space fits it quite nicely. Measure your available counter space before buying.
