1 out of 5 stars Sharp builtin microwave   September 2, 2007
Keith (FL United States)
After a year the control panel went black. We're still using it. Would like to replace with a built in from a different company. I would never buy another sharp


1 out of 5 stars Bad Display Board Design   January 5, 2007
Dad1999 (Chelmsford, MA)
I have had 3 display failures. The first was a few months after I installed the unit. 'Customer Service' allowed the repair with out cost to me. However, I brought the unit home and the display failed immediately. I returned the unit and the display board was replaced again. This time I had to wait a couple of weeks for the part to arrive. Almost one year later to the day the display has failed again. 'Customer Service' will not pay for the labor but after persistence will pay for the part.

My recommendation is stay clear of this microwave. I am waiting for a class action suit to recover my losses.

One star is to high for the problems with this unit!



1 out of 5 stars Stay away from Sharp Microwaves!   September 30, 2006
A. Lindeman (Bloomington, IN)
I too had my display break after about a year. Same as others- when there was a minor electrical disturbance. Because I had memorized the functionality, I continued to use it- until the start button broke! Now it is worthless. Stay away from Sharp microwaves- they have multiple quality issues.


2 out of 5 stars Display Gone!   August 20, 2006
Duane A. Bennett
Just as the other reviewers, my microwave worked fine but the display went out after just a few weeks. Unlike one of the other reveiwers, I did not have the functions memorized. This unit was highly recommended to me by a reputable appliance dealer but it seems they, too, deny the display problem. The Sharp is the only microwave I know of without stove vents that mounts into the upper cabinets. This was a huge selling point for me but it was not worth the added expense of this now useless unit. Sharp needs to address this issue as it is too much a problem to be ignored.


3 out of 5 stars LED on the blitz again   February 15, 2006
Debbie Metzger (South Florida)
I loved this Microwave. I designed my new kitchen with this undercounter microwave as a feature. The task lighting coordinates with my undercounter lighting and the front door, the only part that shows is very sleek and looks great in my kitchen. During the first year of operation a power failure due to a hurricane knocked out the LED function on the door. This was coverered under the one year warranty and Sears did the warranty work and replaced the entire front door. The service person said Sharp was known in the industry as having very sensitive electronics and perhaps a surge protector would help. I purchased one and then during the second year of operation another power failure occured due to hurricane. This time I had a surge protector and I unplugged the mircrowave until the electric had been fully restored. Again I lost the LED function, this time I did not have a warranty. I contacted the surge protector warranty department and had to mail them the surge protector. They tested and replaced their product, but said the protector had not sustained any surge damage therefore, they could not warranty the microwave. The rest of the microwave is functional and I am still using it from memory since I do not have the LED prompts to help me set the microwave. I am currently considering whether to add a shelf and smaller countertop microwave or reorder the R-1210 which I like for its interior size and appearance.
