2 out of 5 stars Not so good.   April 14, 2008

I have also had the handle melt and the display has failed and become unreadable.


3 out of 5 stars Looks pretty, but function is so-so   March 31, 2008
"CAT" (Boston, MA United States)
It looks lovely in our stainless steel kitchen, but after only 3 years of use, it has problems. Now the start button doesn't work, but the microwave is on nonstop whenever the door is closed. Started very suddenly. Will have to get it serviced. Great defrost, potato, popcorn functions.


2 out of 5 stars I have to tell the truth   March 27, 2006

I purchased this microwave from Amazon back in June of 2004. I had very little expectations knowing I was "cheaping out" with a microwave that was under $300. My feelings were, when it dies in 5 years or so I will replace it with a top of the line convection/ microwave. Well, I had really hoped it would at least make it to the 2 year mark!

Last week we noticed a 6 to 7 inch crack going through the plastic part of the door. Overall,it has performed ok. I learned very quickly that is is very hot and I always shorten cooking times and lower temperatures. DO NOT use the popcorn setting, my 11 year old son has set 3 bags of popcorn on fire using it. I supervised, so I know he did it right!

I also agree that the fan is very noisy and when it goes on automatically, you have to wait until it is ready to turn off. That process seems to take a long time!

I would like to say it looks good though and it will be a challenge finding a replacement that I like as much visually!



4 out of 5 stars pretty darn happy   August 15, 2005

Undaunted by some of the poor reviews, we purchased this microwave oven... mostly because it was the only one that my wife and I agreed was really cool looking. In addition to the good looks, we have been very happy with the features and performance. The inside is much roomier than our old GE and the Sensor cooking feature seems to work very well.
The push button handle seems to get hot when cooking on both front burners of the stove, but so far no problems at all other than being hot to the touch. We did purchase the extended warranty from the Amazon website... just in case.
Overall, it is a really good looking microwave that performs well and priced great.



1 out of 5 stars Disastrous design.   September 18, 2004

It may look pretty, but as an over the range microwave oven it provides nothing but headaches. Even a modest amount of heat from the cook top below causes the microwave oven's pushbutton door latch to deform (melt?) because Sharp chose to save money with plastic rather than metal interior parts. Thus, either the door won't close or one has to pry the latch open each time. The service technician who replaced the assembly (twice) said he had performed almost a dozen similar replacements in the recent past.

My advice, buy it only if you never plan to use the cook top below.
