Six cook options deliver perfectly cooked foods for up to six servings; six reheat options make it simple to heat six often-served foods including pizza, rolls, and muffins; and four defrost options quickly defrost meats and poultry by weight--a specific program for each category delivers excellent, even results.

We bought this when we did a kitchen remodel 3+ years ago, and it's still nuking along just fine. It looks great, heats-up perfectly, and has every feature my wife and I need. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Big learning curve for me and defrost is a pain, November 25, 2009

This review is from: Sharp R-405KS 1.4-Cubic Feet 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

I replace my 2nd crappy Kenmore microwave in 5 years with this Sharp R-408LS. I like it but it is a lot harder at first to learn and understand. The defrost cycle is a pain cause every 30secs it wants me to open the door and pull apart whatever I am defrosting this is called staging which is like 3 times for 1lb of ground beef (I call it retarded). I just open and shut the door and hit start to continue still a pain in the butt.

Kenmore you hit defrost pick whatever then the weight and forget about. If there a way to defrost and skip staging please tell.

Popcorn has 3 setting so read the back of the bag before popping to pick right size or stand and listen to it. Over all it is a great microwave beside defrost this baby is big at 1.4 cubic feet and 1100 watts it heats and pops popcorn fast.

If it last more the 2 years it will have out lived my last Kenmore if it last more then 5 years it will be better then Kenmore.

I would recommend you shop around I got this for $99 at my local Costco with tax came to $106.99. I would have hated to have paid $175. For $107 I can live with the learning curve and it worth it. I don't think it worth $175.

The only stainless steel is the door and I scratch the middle of the door cause Sharp put a sticker with glue that wouldn't come off but, that's ok. I am happy.
