Countertop Microwave Oven with Removable 12.4" Carousel Turntable, 1000 Watt, 1.1 Cubic Feet, Stainless Steel

I am going from an OLD B&D 1000w, 1.1CuFt microwave to this new Sharp unit. I am amazed at how quiet it works and how much more powerful this new unit is in comparison to the old. I also noticed the carousel tray rotates at a faster speed, if that even matters. The functionality of this unit overall is excellent in all ways. This well built, solid microwave is good looking with its sleek lines and simple interface. The push button door opener is new to me also and I like it better than having a grab handle. The child-lock is SUPER easy to disable and Sharp has placed instructions on a label attached to the outside of the door. This child-lock feature is a LAW and obviously, Sharp understands that nobody actually uses it and provides these simple instructions conspicuously on the door. For those that it matters: I have a very specific cabinet shelf that is sized rather tight. I needed a microwave that was no taller than 12" and needed to sit on a 12" deep shelf. This unit DOES NOT meet this need. The height is fine at 11.8" but the feet on the underside need a depth of 13" to sit properly. I am a woodworker and was able to easily add an extra 1 1/4" to my shelf, but I didn't want to do this and was hoping this unit would fit. It does not. The advertised dimensions otherwise are spot on. In closing, this is an excellent microwave that works great and is easy to operate. An Excellent Value For The Money - Highly Recommended

Got this microwave for my workplace - it's a reliable workhorse that is easy to clean and intuitive to use. Our last microwave was also a Sharp - it held up to daily use by our staff for *years*. This newer model no longer has the "sensor reheat" button, which only a few of us used - it's not a great loss and does lead to a more streamlined interface. There is plenty of room in the microwave to heat up your lunch (a large dinner plate fits) and it appears to be heating food evenly and thoroughly. The face is easy to clean without any complicated nooks and crannies, and the interior is pretty straighforward for wipe-downs as well.

Excellent microwave. Cooks evenly, looks great. Here's something I love, the popcorn button works perfectly with Orville Redenbacher which is a feature advertised on more expensive models only but seems to have leaked down to this model too (despite no advertising for it). I tested it... Perfect. The annoying child safety door lock is super easy to disable and *remains disabled* even if the microwave loses power. I've yanked the power and tested this. It's just like Sharp said. (Press 7 then 9, then hold 0 until it beeps). PS this is a new regulation for any microwave sold in the US after March 2024. Personally I think it's a bit nanny state to force manufacturers to ship microwaves with it enabled by default rather than optional afterwards... But it is what it is. Sharp make it super easy to disable and they even put a very large sticker on the microwave showing you how to do it. I think the company realise how annoying this "feature" is for people without kids, so they did their best to help us out. I dropped a star because closing the door seems a bit louder than usual, I feel like they could have dampened the closing a bit.. To me it's no big deal though.

Great quality, great price. Works perfect. I have had a Sharp microwave before, and I am happy to have one again. I recommend this microwave to everyone.

If you’re looking for a brand name that offers longevity, Sharp is the brand for you. My last Sharp microwave lasted from 1985 until this past summer. I missed it so much that I decided to shop for a Sharp and saw this stainless steel appliance matching decor model that I purchased. It works extremely well and cooks even better. It gives off no odors and fits well in the kitchen where my larger Sharp convection microwave stood for many years. Once you get used to the buttons and know that if you have an exact numeral cook, just press in the time. If it’s a minute and seconds cook, First press the time cook button, and then put in the time you need to cook your food. For example, if the food calls for five minutes and 15 seconds first hit time cook and then the three numerals. It’s that simple! I’m very happy with this purchase!

Note to Amazon: This microwave arrived safely but was delivered by USPS — and wow, it’s heavy! For future orders, please consider UPS or FedEx for something this size. My mail carrier and my back would both appreciate it. Now, onto the good stuff — this SHARP countertop microwave is absolutely fantastic. I replaced my 2-year-old GE that broke far too soon, and this one has been a breath of fresh air. It feels solid, looks sleek in stainless steel, and has an impressive amount of power for its compact size. The 12.4" carousel turntable is removable and easy to clean, and the controls are intuitive (no squinting or guessing required). Food heats evenly, popcorn pops perfectly, and leftovers actually taste good again. It’s also quieter than my old one, which is a big plus when I’m reheating coffee at 6 a.m. Two things to note: 1. The Unlock key must be pushed for the door to open to retrieve heated item. Solution: If you would like to disable the safety feature. You can do so by pressing the keys 7,9, then 0 (hold the 0 for 3 seconds). This action will disable the safety lock. The lock will remain disengaged until manually activated again. Which can be accomplished by repeating the disabled steps. 2. LED Interior light is very nice but not bright. Meaning after being accustomed to very bright interior lighting, this will seem dim. Still very nice! If you’re debating between brands, I can confidently say SHARP nailed it with this model. It’s powerful, efficient, and built like a tank — exactly what I needed after my GE gave up early. Highly recommend!
