What's great about it: Roomy and attractive
What's not so great: Display is funky
I'm so glad I chose this microwave. It's spacious and powerful for the money! I would have given five stars but the display is a little odd. If you're not looking at it straight on, it appears distorted. Definitely NOT a dealbreaker, though!

What's great about it: Powerful - Heats food quickly
What's not so great: Clock display is unreadable except from directly in front
i replaced a Sharp that I was happy with thinking this was the same thing. For the most part, it is. The turntable, cavity and controls are all about the same as the 5 year old model it replaced. The clock display however, is another story. If you put the unit on a counter which is standard height, and then stand in front of it to use it, you cannot see the digits, you see all the elements. I'm only 5'8" so it's not like I'm amazon or something. Having to bend to see the display is irritating.

What's great about it: largest unit that would fit my microwave shelf
What's not so great: hard to read display
I read the other reviews about the clock/settings display being hard to read except directly in front at eye level and it is absolutely true. Fortunately my unit sits on a shelf at the appropriate height. It heats the food evenly. I would have preferred a wall-hugger type plug so I could push the unit closer to the wall.

What's great about it: Easy to use; cooks really fast; plenty of room for large items
What's not so great: Nothing so far
I ordered this microwave for our office at work to replace a tiny one that we had. It used to take forever to cook a frozen entree for our lunches. Now, they cook in package time. We don't use all of the features, but it works great for what we need and it's very easy to use. It's also very deceiving from the outside. When you open the door, it's much bigger on the inside that you'd expect. It's used by at least 9 office staff members and we've had no problem with it in the month that we've had it. I would definitely recommend this microwave. You get a lot of microwave for the price.

What's great about it: works well and right size for application
What's not so great: display visability
Used for basement bar location and works great. Only complaint is about angle of view for the display. You have to be looking at it straight on or else display is illegible. Other than that, it's great.

What's great about it: GREAT SIZE FOR THE KITCHEN
What's not so great: CAN'T SEE THE BUTTONS IN A DIM LIT ROOM
THE ONLY COMPAINT I HAVE AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE SELECTION BUTTONS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED....
YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT ONES TO PUSH UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG ROOM LIGHT ON.
ALSO THE TIME AND MINUTES COUNTER IS A BLURR TO READ UNLESS YOU BEND DOWN AND LOOK STRAIGHT AT IT...

The product works as advertised. The higher wattage warms larger foods more evenly so that you do not have to warm and stir as often.

What's great about it: Plenty of cooking power and reasonably quiet
What's not so great: Digital timer clock display is absolutely awful
I bought this microwave for my girlfriend because I've had a Sharp Carousel microwave for over 10 years and it has been great.
The new one works fine, but the digital clock is horrendous. I had read complaints about it in reviews prior to buying the unit. People said it was hard to read and I figured maybe they were being finicky. Not so. If the microwave is on a countertop and you're standing a few feet in front of it, when looking down at the clock, the digital display looks like a jumble of bright green lines. So you have to back away and bend down to the level of the digital display panel to read the clock and set the timer. Really aggravating. It''s hard to believe that design engineers at Sharp screwed up something so simple on an otherwise nice appliance, but they did.
I wanted to return the unit, but we used it a few times and figured I'd get charged a restocking fee.
Don't buy this microwave unless you plan to mount it at eye level.

What's great about it: Easy to use and inexpensive
What's not so great: Button to open the door
So far so good. A relatively inexpensive microwave, with all the features I need. I would have preferred to be able to open the door by pulling the handle rather than pushing a button, but it is not a big deal.

What's great about it: one button start
What's not so great: the display is very hard to read
I hate that the display is so hard to read unless you stand off center to the microwave. If you are within pushing the buttons range, you can not read the display, it looks like many X's.
Other than that, very happy with this unit.

What's not so great: Doesn't last
Worked fine for about a year of moderate daily use by two people. Then while popping popcorn one evening it started arcing and shooting sparks and flaming out of one of the inside panels into the interior of the oven. Fortunately we were nearby and saw it before a fire started. Also found a few other reviewers who experienced the exact same thing after about a year of use. Didn't expect to have to replace it so quickly given what we paid for it.
