Review 1 for Sharp 2.0 Cu. Ft. Full-Size Microwave - Black
Best microwave I've had
Customer Rating
4.0
What's great about it: Big size, Big power, Great features
What's not so great: Start button, Defrost
My wife and I had a good microwave that died a few months ago, so we've been using the very small microwave out of our travel trailer in the meantime and it is just way to small and not powerful enough for our household needs.
We chose this one because it's big and powerful, but at a price point that agrees with our budget. We ordered online for in-store pick-up and it was expected to take a week to come in. To our surprise, it was only 2 days.
We've been using it for a couple months now and are very pleased with it. It's great at NOT burning popcorn, which was a big issue with our little microwave. We really like the Sensor Reheat; a feature we've never had on previous microwaves.
Overall, this is a great microwave. I would give it 5 stars if not for 2 somewhat minor issues:
1 The Start button location is un-natural. It's buried within some other buttons. The Sensor Reheat button is the natural location for the Start button and looks very similar to the Start button, so it's taken a bit of getting used to that.
2 The defrost cycle. On our old microwave, you could set your defrost and then walk away. It would prompt you to turn your food over, but if you didn't, it would continue defrosting anyhow. On this one, if you ignore the request to turn your food over, it will just turn off on you.

These are 2 relatively minor gripes about an otherwise great unit. Without those 2 niggles, it would be a 5-star rating from me for sure.

What's great about it: Great price, solid build, lasted years
What's not so great: Defrost feature takes a bit of getting used to
I've had this microwave for a couple of years and so far so good. Everything warms up evenly and is very big and easy to clean. I love the sensor feature especially with popcorn (never had a burnt kernel from this thing). The only thing I have a problem with is the defrost feature. Mine only gives me 2 seconds to enter the weight of what I want to defrost before it begins and also it does take some supervising for defrost (but does a very fine job at it).

What's great about it: Reliable, Quiet
What's not so great: Could use a scroll to choose function instead of so many different keys.
My first Sharp Micro wave was puchased Oct. 1991. It was still goung strong after 20 years. Couldn't get parts to fix door release button which wore out for the second time. This new Sharp Micro wave is so quiet. I just have to learn where the start key is located. Other than that I look forward to many years of service from my new Sharp.

We purchased this microwave to replace the same model. The first model lasted 2.5 years. This microwave works great while it lasts, we use it multiple times daily for warming and defrosting. I don't expect much more life out of any brand these days. This is a good value for the money.

What's great about it: LG has easy to push buttons and roomy interior. Easy to clean as well and looks great on my countertop.
What's not so great: The Sharp did not work at all, but the LG has been a great choice.
I just happended to have delivered to my home a defective microwave. It was very disappointing to install it, prepare to use it, and once the clock was set, not to have any of the buttons work! (The child lock feature was not on).
I was able to make arrangements with Best Buy locally to bring the defective microwave in and exchange it for a different make and model that was available in the store. I was sure to have it tested before buying it and bringing it home. It worked well in the store, and has been working well at my home. It is an LG brand, and has most, but not all of the features of the defective one, but I like it better, so in the end it did work out well.

I had the unit for about three years and it stopped working. I called sharp and they said it sounded like there was a part called the magnetron tube which was under warranty however the service repair shop that Sharp costumer service recommended was going to charge me $95.00 to repair.new unit cost $135.00. Sharp's response was to say they did not control price of repair shops. BAD DEAL/SUPPORT

My old microwave quit working just before the Christmas holiday. With company comming there was little time to research all the different brands and options that we could buy. Our microwave is built in and so our selection needed to be an exact fit for the opening. We came across the Sharp 2.0. The size was perfect and it came in black, which matched our other appliances. It was not stocked in store but was quickly shipped and very easy for my husband to install. We have been very pleased with this purchase. The interior is large, it cooks quickly and operates quietly....it was a lot of bang for our $$. Would definately recommend.

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Zero
Ordered this microwave to replace one that was 10 years old. It is almost the same model as the last one that lasted these 10 years. The old one still worked but was begining to rust on the inside. Not too apitizing. The new one has some nice features. It is 100 watts stronger than the last one and has a rice button. Cool.
It came when promised and is stylish and works great. We've had it now for about 2 months. The keep hot feature is great.
