  We found this microwave on sale at our local Sears store.  We wanted a stainless steel or stainless steel look without giving up certain things from our previous microwave, like the turntable or options, but didn't want to spend a fortune either.  We found it with this one, and got even more options...

Most Helpful Critical Review

My last Sharp microwave lasted 7 years. This one lasted 1.25. Of course, it stopped working right after the warranty was up. One morning, it just stopped heating anything. No big explosion or any warning, it just doesn't work. It costs $40 just to have someone look at it with no guarantee of repair....

The Sharp microwave is the perfect size for our limited counterspace. The stainless steel matches our other appliances and looks great. It heats everything a lot faster than our old microwave, which was also made by Sharp, in 1999! I hope this one lasts as long. We were looking for another Sharp Carousel microwave, and were happy to find it at Sears. The price is great, especially for the stainless option.

It replaced a Panasonic that only lasted five years. The Sharp we had previously was still working when we had to replace it because of space. We are well satisfied with current purchase. Hope it lasts as long as original original Sharp.

Perfect size and very modern looking. Very easy to operate and cooks evenly and quickly. Warning: It is very heavy to lift/carry

Very happy with this purchase.

Great for campers!

We use this in our Camper for road trips, it works great! All you need to clean it is mild soap and warm water. It's not too big but is still sleek and stylish. Burritos or those frozen dinners for on the go evenings would never work without this oven.

A New Start

     We just moved in to our new apartment 3 weeks ago. We couldn't buy everything we need all at thesame time so we need to concentrate first at the basics like kitchen stuff. We shopped around and found couple of microwaves at different stores but it's not what we were looking for. Finally found one at Sears. It's a Sharp Carousel 1cft. 1100w microwave oven that falls on our checklist which are 1.reasonable prize (coz we're tight on our budget) 2.stainless steel(it matches the other stuff in the kitchen) 3.powerful(for cooking rice,etc) 4.easy to use(coz we have a 9year old daughter)....

Nice Features

Touch pad has nice feel. I especially like the "minute plus" feature. Glass plate nestles in a depression in the floor of the oven; easy to replace after cleaning. Note that the front window is not made of glass; it "gives" when I exert pressure to clean it, Time will tell whether this will affect the microwave's lifespan.

gud to buy

 Overall I am very pleased with the microwave. It heats great and the functions are wonderful and easy to use. I did however think that the door could have been a little more sturdy, it seems very lite and loud when you shut it.

Good item.

This Sharp microwave replaced my Sharp Carousel II that I had purchased new 17 years ago. Works well.
