5 out of 5 stars Works great, and looks great, even after 2.5 years of use   July 3, 2008
Jason Rodgers (Las Vegas, NV USA)
My parents first bought this microwave, and I did a lot of research and ended up with the same one. I must be honest, the main requirement for me was size and looks, so this is not only huge but was the best looking unit (at the time at least, I don't know what is out there now). Anyway... I have loved this thing since the day I got it. I use it at least once a day, and haven't had any problems with it (knock on wood*). It's very powerful, and will boil a mug of water in less than 1:30. I also use the 'sensor reheat' button a lot, and must say it usually heats up any dish perfectly (95% of the time, the other 5% it just didn't heat it enough). That includes differing sized dishes! I also use the quick 1-minute cook-time increment trick of just hitting the start button. You can hit the start button multiple times in a row to go for 1,2,3... minutes. Anyway... I'm really happy with my investment, and so far mine and my parents (they've had there's for about 3 years) are still going strong. Great unit!


1 out of 5 stars don't waste your time or money!   May 27, 2008

I bought this microwave less than three years ago. After about 6 months it broke and I had to bring it to a service center to be repaired (just stopped heating). It was under warranty but still a huge inconvenience to bring it in. Now less than two years later the same problem is happening and it's no longer under warranty. I won't waste my time getting it fixed when it will probably cost the same amount of money to buy a new one. I really hate the attitude of "just buy a new one." Things should be made to last, not so cheaply so that you just buy a new one when it breaks. I'll never buy a Sharp microwave again.


5 out of 5 stars Safety with efficiency and great appearance too!   May 5, 2008

Recently we purchased the SHARP R-426LS Family Size Countertop Microwave.
Although we have no small children in our household, the safety feature with the controls and settings not available to be touched on the outside of the microwave is definitely a great feature. It does take a bit of time to get used to opening the door to choose your settings, however. This particular model has many features to choose from to make your cooking more efficient. You need to read the booklet and learn which of the many settings that are available are best for your uses. Again this is more sophisticated that some of the other microwaves we have owned. Some may find it cumbersome to use some of the settings, but if you perservere, it will be worth your time. Last, but not least we find the style of this microwave to be a great improvement. Although we use it on our countertop, at present, should we decide to use it above our stove as many do, it can be installed that way as well because of the special feature of this model. That is not the case with other countertop microwaves. We also find this size works well with larger dishes/bowls/plates, etc. which one uses for all type of microwaving and defrosting. After researching many other makes and models of microwaves, we find this Sharp to be the best, and it was also reasonably priced.

This microwave looks like no other I've seen. Overall, it works well - it's quiet and cooks/warms/defrosts well. It's missing a button I used to use all the time (the "quick minuted" button), it has limited "defrost" buttons, which leaves me guessing which option best fits the meat I'm trying to defrost, and sometimes button-pressing patterns are confusing or repeatative (in order to use the timer, you have to push "timer," enter the time, and "timer" again).
