SHARP Countertop Microwave Oven with Removable 10.6" Carousel Turntable, 900 Watt, 0.9 Cubic Feet, Stainless Steel

Took a lot of searching to finally find this little gem. Kept reading all the reviews on other microwaves and was ready to give up then got to page 3 or 4 of the search results and saw this little worker bee. It is small but mighty and relatively quiet. I thought it couldn't be cooking well as it was so quiet but it does the job in the time you enter. I angled it so it fits nicely into a corner space, but initially had it flush against one wall and it still did not take up a lot of counter space. The child lock mechanism is easy to switch off, if you don't need it. The clock was easy to set and easy to see in darkened room but not glaring. The timer buzzer is not annoying and I think I read (yes, I read the manual) you can turn that off, too, but I haven't tried it as it doesn't bother me. The inside is plenty big enough for largest plates we have. The opening is large and easy to move things in and out. The inside is nicely lined so it is very easy to clean. I wasn't sure about the "Popcorn" programmed timing, but very easy to use and cooked the snack bags perfectly. I recommend this microwave highly!

Smaller than the one that I had. however seems just as efficient and works very well, cheaper than the older one to buy and run.

First week of ownership and it is great right out of the box. This is the first small microwave I have owned that fits where I need it but does not feel like a downgrade or compromise. Attractive, solid, quiet, this Sharp unit heats very evenly. Though it is compact and not much bigger on the outside than our old 700W Black & Decker, this 900W Sharp has a bigger interior and a larger turntable so it handles larger bowls and plates. It heats more thoroughly and evenly in 1/3 to 1/2 the time. That little increase in wattage from 700 to 900 seems to result in vastly improved cooking power with no more cold spots! Can't speak to longevity or durability as I haven't had it that long. At almost twice the price of my old microwave I am hoping it lasts (the other one still worked after three years but the interior paint was peeling!). This Sharp seems well made though it is not particularly heavy. It has all the features I wanted: more powerful without being bigger, single button reheat, defrost, vegetable button for frozen or fresh, two-stage cooking, Express minutes buttons, + 30 second button. All are working great out of the box. Packaging was solid so the unit was in perfect shape upon arrival and was easy to unbox and set up on my own. Few small microwave models seem to be highly rated by Consumer Reports and the few that were did not have express buttons or a +30sec button and I can't go back to a time of not having those features as I use them all the time. Another important factor for me is the ability to disable and turn off the child lock on this microwave. We neither have nor host children so the idea of having to go through extra steps to open the door of the microwave every time seems like a punishment. The new machines with handles have a physical mechanism you must grab/engage every single time (kind of like on a disposable lighter) so this push button machine having the ability to permanently electronically disable the child lock using a keypad code seemed the way to go. That said, there are some reviews that say the lock button fails on some Sharp models so we have fingers crossed this unit does not experience that. Despite the slightly higher cost than other makes, I think this unit is a good value considering it has so many features and performs above most others in the small microwave class. It feels like a huge step up from the B&D and as we use it often it gives a big boost to meal prep/quality. It is a pleasure to use. The interior light is LED and a bit cold white for my taste but it also will probably last longer than old fashioned bulbs and consumes less power so no harm no foul. Highly recommend this Sharp microwave and so far would buy again.

This microwave replaced a Sharp 700 watt Carousel microwave. We love the increased power and slightly bigger size. Food cooks quickly and evenly. Body is attractive, and controls are easy to read and use. The beeps stop when you open the door (an improvement over our last one). The display is annoyingly bright, but I found a solution: Save the blue film which protected the trim. Cut 2 pieces and layer them over the display (one layer is not enough). Voila! Display now easy on the eyes and slightly blue. Slight complaints: The door clangs when you shut it. The interior light is weird (gray and yellow stripes). The gray interior takes some getting used to. But these are pretty minor things. All in all a great microwave for our family of three. It seems a good value. Hope it's as durable as the last one.

I got this because it was slightly more powerful than my old one, but not much larger. It seems to work well, the carosel doesn't pop up or slide around, the child-safe lock is easy to disable, the instructions are clear and it isn't super loud--The sound seems average to me. My only complaint is that the display light is so bright it seems like I geft a light on in the kitchen at night. Some folks might appreciate that--free nightlight!-- but I cover it with a towel at night to dim it. I've only had the product a few days but I've used it several times a day and it works as expected. I would recommend getting it shipped in an amazon box-- I did this and the out box was badly damaged but the manufacturers box and the item were just fine. Without the outer box I think there may have been some issues there.
