Every microwave oven I have bought, used or experienced allows the user to punch in the number of seconds and press start to heat a cup of coffee. This one has you read the instruction book to find out how to do this basic operation that has become intuitive using most microwaves. That aside, its smallness is just right for a small space utility microwave. Therefore, I will read the book and find out how to get seconds rather than minutes when punching up the numbers.

This microwave, purchased less than 2 years ago, is such a disappointment! Within a couple months of purchase the finish on the interior bottom began cracking and chipping away, and a discolored patch appeared on the interior microwave emitter panel that got bigger and bigger with time until eventually, last week, it emitted a small but fierce "lightening storm"---and died. I chose Sharp solely on its reputation, which seems to have been a mistake. I'm giving it 2 stars rather than 1 because in

This microwave stopped working suddenly after 3 months. We don’t even use it that much. Lucky I got the warranty but bet it will take forever for a replacement

Good basic appliance for the price. Low powered and door a bit difficult at times, but functional, compact and affordable.

The best thing about this microwave is that it takes a 10 11/16th inch dinner plate. Also the size. My counter space is limited and this is perfect.

My first microwave -- a Sharp "Carousel" -- lasted twenty years. The second, which was observably of lesser quality, also a Sharp "Carousel," lasted nine years. Not only is this smaller than I expected, but also the quality is even less than that second. I worry it won't last for even nine years.Three stars because I generally like the product.

Bought it for the compact size but love it for so much more! Works great and feels substantial, not flimsy. Very attractive and easy to clean

Very happy with this powerful but space saving oven. We still have the Sharp carousel microwave we received as a wedding present nearly 37 years ago in operation in our office kitchen. Hopefully this little oven will last half as long!

The size and style of the microwave was what I expected. The product however has an exposed screw underneath which scratched my counter top. Sharp tried to resolve but sent over sized rubber covering. The second attempt resulted in sending me another Sharp microwave. Unfortunately, the 2nd microwave had same issue of exposed nail. I am trying to resolve by having them send me label so I can ship one back as I don't need two defective microwaves. Sharp has not been prompt to reply and resolve…
