Sharp Half Pint Microwave Oven

First off, ignoring price, this is a great microwave if you need/want something for a small room, office, apartment, etc. Let's talk about what it is. It's a small microwave. That's it. It's "Sharp" in that it's very aesthetically pleasing. I actually keep it in my office where we're not technically allowed to have our own microwaves. I work in IT, however, and this little beauty doesn't even look like a microwave. People think it's some kind of new server! :)

Other than the slick looks, it seems well built enough. The door seems remarkably light weight compared to the rest of the unit, but not to any kind of alarming degree. The turntable inside seems to be of thick durable tempered glass.

Here's what the microwave isn't, and doesn't even try to be...it's not a full featured high powered microwave. It's not for cooking Thanksgiving dinner. It's for reheating leftovers, warming up beverages, cooking popcorn, and similar small tasks. It's 600 Watts of power,...Read more

I bought this microwave for use in a 2006 KW 600. After I removed the plastic spacer off of the back of it, it fit into the closet in my truck and secure the hard door with no problem. I believe that the plastic is there to make sure there is an air gap behind the microwave. I just make sure that I slide it forward a couple of inches before I use it. It has worked perfectly off of the 1800w inverter in the truck. You just have to add a minute to most cooking times because it is only 600w and recipes usually assume 1000w. I have run it simutaneously with my 5c Mr Coffee or my 2 slice toaster with no problems. I use it at least twice a day. Hopefully when it gives out I will be able to get another one.
Yes, it does fit a full-sized dinner plate. The reason it is a cube shape is because the magnatron is in the top and not on the right side.

I have had a sharp half pint for years and it has delivered service without fail. Just recently the door spring broke so I went in search of a reploacement. The Half Pint size fits my limited kitchen space to a T so I went back to that reliable product. I could not get a green replacement (matches my kitchen decor) so I opted for a black one. Still works wonderfully. My only issue is that the black one does not have a viewing window in the door like the green one. I never realized how much I used that viewer until it was gone. Otherwise the product is more than satisfactory.
