Amazon.com Product Description
With a 1-2/5-cubic-foot capacity and 1100 watts of power, this family-size microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation. The unit's 14-1/8-inch-diameter turntable ensures even heating, while 16 automatic settings take the guesswork out of reheating, cooking, and defrosting by automatically setting cooking times and power levels. Four defrost options quickly defrost meats and poultry by weight; six cook options come in handy for baked potatoes, fresh and frozen vegetables, rice, ground meat, and frozen entrees; and six reheat options make it especially simple to reheat items like beverages, pizza, rolls, and muffins. In addition, short-cut options make it convenient to melt, soften, and warm popular foods such as butter and cream cheese. The microwave oven also provides Minute Plus, which sets the oven at "high" with a single touch, and a popcorn key that pops microwave popcorn automatically, regardless of package size or brand. Other highlights include touch-pad controls, a five-digit two-color lighted display, and a handy kitchen timer. The microwave oven measures 17-1/2 by 21-5/8 by 12-3/8 inches.

Customer Reviews

Good purchase.
Always had good luck with Sharp microwaves. Pleased with performance. I am disappointed with the "plastic" window on front door...scratches easily.

Excellent microwave.
We needed a family sized microwave and this one had all the features we were looking for (minute plus, well-lit clock, preset cooking for popcorn, baked potato etc).

We have been very satisfied for the past month. We noticed that it is a bit quieter than others before. We have owned Sharp microwaves before. We did research a lot before buying and considered other brands. This one had the value for the money and the size we required.

Microwave Oven
My old microwave was a Goldstar which gave a good 8 years of heavy-duty service. There were a few things I didn't like about it though. The white door-mesh made it almost impossible to see what was happening in the oven and there was no way to program a preferred cooking time for one-touch operation. Also, I didn't care for the completion tone. When the oven gave out, I immediately went to Amazon. I wanted a black oven for better visibility inside and low cost. Soon, I resticted my search to this model. The fact that shipping was free cinched the deal. My oven arrived in a big box with the picture on the front (no birthday surprise on this one), and I found the oven to unpack easily. A useful tip: Don't tear open the flaps as I did, just remove the big staples.
One reviewer commented that the buttons seem to quickly wear out. I had the same experience. After only a week of use, I noticed that the buttons were starting to "tear". However, I now believe that this is NOT the buttons tearing but rather some kind of protective film. You know how some TV screens and MP3 players have that disposable clear film on them that comes off, IF you discover it's not part of the actual screen? It seems to be that stuff. I could find no mention of it in the manual and I'm too lazy to call product support about it. I'll just let the film wear and see about getting rid of it later. In any case, I'm past warrantee. I still don't have programable timing on one-touch and I still don't care for the completion tone. Funny how cell-phones have endless ring-tone options but no manufacturer seems to be aware of how annoying some ovens completion tones are. Why not make them programmable,also?
