This replaced a similar Sharp full size microwave - and we love it - so easy to use, we did not have to use the manual to do the basic things we want to do. And - Amazon's delivery was fantastic!

Our previous Sharp Carousel was the best microwave I had ever used, until this one! We love it and it is so very similar to our 10 year old model that fizzled out. Amazon made the shopping very easy and the price was excellent.

This microwave replaced an old Montgomery Wards brand we had since 1985 (and was still working, but slowly). The Sharp is like night and day -- everything gets done quickly, and the buttons for the individual types of food (warming rolls, defrosting meat, etc.) work perfectly, with the food coming out ready the first time.

Microwave is nice, except that it did not last more than 15 months. Was not used very much, so should have lasted many years. Will cost about $80 to repair the heating element, since only the part is covered under warranty, not labor. So much for cheap products from China! Not the cheapest solution in the long run when you have to spend $140 every year for a new microwave!!

and then it burned up while warming up leftovers for 30 seconds. Luckily I was right there and yanked the plug right away as soon as I smelled the smoke. Reading the reviews here it doesn't seem like an isolated case. Of course right after the warranty expired. Went out in the trash today.

We have only had the microwave for a couple of months and are very satisfied with how the unit heats and functions our only complaint is the size of lettering on controls. In low light conditions they are very difficult to read.

Replaced another large microwave I had. Size is good and heats well.
A little different than my Panosonic but learning!Husband loves the pop corn setting!
Price was right as well as the size!
Would only consider one with a caurosel as it heats more evenly. Can slow down the power so things do not bubble over.
So far so good!

Bought it from Bestbuy about 18 months ago. Worked well until 2 days ago when it automatically starts whenever the door is opened. Kind of weird.

Product worked fine with very light use (1-2X/wk) for 19 months....then suddenly started sparking and shooting flames. To be fair, whilst researching other comments, it seems that this is a typical lifespan for current microwaves in this price range. My previous Panasonic unit lasted 12 years, so perhaps I have unreasonable expectations. However, points must be deducted for potential house fire, loss of all possessions, fiery death etc.

This microwave was a replacement for a Sharp that we had for 15 years. This one didn't even last for 2 weeks with limited use reheating items. It started working intermittently, timer would count down and after a while the microwave unit would finally kick in. Finally the same day the microwave unit would not run at all.

Tried unplugging it to reset the electronics but no luck.

I'm very disappointed in the quality of the current Sharp microwaves. Would have given it a zero but that isn't possible. I will be buying another brand locally.
