I bought this microwave to replace one at work that suddenly quit working. I needed one that was full size and at least 1000 watts. This microwave is great. It has multiple presets for defrost, reheat and cook, works flawlessly and looks sleek. I highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Was nice while it lasted, April 4, 2006

Well this microwave looked nice, and heated food quickly. The settings for specific foods were way too complicated, so I never used them. Unfortunately, it stopped working within two months. It worked just fine, no signs of problems, up until one day, it just didn't heat anything anymore. I lost the receipt, so I couldn't get it repaired.

I wouldn't recommend this microwave, generally, not just because of my problem with it, but because of the complicated controls. There are easier to use microwaves out there. Incidentally, the website I bought this from (not this one) said that it had a sensor. It doesn't.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great except for one thing, June 25, 2008

This review is from: Sharp R-308JS 1100 Watts Mid Size Microwave, silver (Kitchen)

This microwave is nearly perfect. It is a good medium-large size, looks nice and does not show excessive fingerprints. The controls are easy and useful and it performs well.

The only thing that really annoys the heck out of me is that the clock/time display is very difficult to read, particularly from an angle or a distance. There is no contrast. You really have to be looking straight on, up close, to read it. My previous microwave had a display that was very easy to read, so I don't understand why this one is so difficult. It is going to bug me for the lifetime of this microwave, because it's too much of a pain to return it to Amazon.
