Keep the book handy for this till you get used to it. I had this same microwave for over 10 years. before it quit working. They haven't even changed the model number. I called sharp and ask why they hadn't, when I started looking for one, and wanted to replace it with something close to what I had. Was suprised to learn I could replace it with exactly what I had. I paid more for the one I bought 10 years ago than this one costs. Only prob. I had was. you have to shorten cooking time or temp on things sometimes. If directions say cook 2 to 3 min. 2 will usually do it My first Sharp Microwave was huge and lasted 28 years. It had a browning element you could pull down and brown or broil. I just got my 3rd Sharp. I picked a little smaller one this time. Easier for me to handle. I hope it lasts like the last ones have.
This product is or has... Sensor cooking that works well, A turntable that cooks evenly, The power to cook quickly!, Big enough to handle large items, Easy to clean

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Imported
We had the older model for 10 to 12 years and still worked. My wife wanted a new Microwave. We had such good luck with Sharp so we wanted the same brand. The new one is much quicker cooking than the old one. The only draw back is the previous one was American Made and the new one isn't. At this point we are very happy with the purchase.

What's great about it: The cooking power
What's not so great: Number keys color.
I like the microwave oven. It is much better than the one I h ad before. The only complaint I have is the color of the keypad on the front panel. It is so light that one has to make an effort. At least the color should have been a little darker.
I had initially received the oven with the front gas panel shattered. I called Best Buy Customer Service, and they immediately shipped me a replacement. The initial shipment was returned.

out.

What's great about it: Does all that's advertised. Looks good.
What's not so great: None to date.
My 12 year-old microwave bit the dust. I replaced it with the same brand and close to the same model number. I called Sharp to make sure that the dimensions hadn't changed.
Installation was a breeze into the same recess that the old one came out of. Very powerful! Very happy!

What's not so great: Lasted 23 months, no help from Sharp , I won't buy another Sharp product.
I haven't had any conplaint untill the product failed . The part that probally falled is still under warranty. But ths coct to have it installed,would have been close to the price of a new one. Just to open it up to find the problem would have been one third to onn half the cost of a new one. This doesnot justify getting it repaired.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
