Sharp R-402JKT 1-2/5-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave, Black

We reciever this microwave quickly. My microwave died after 35 yrs. and I was so happy it arrived fast. It is easy to operate and the instructions are very easy to follow. I really like all the features and the pre-set settings are very accurate. The 4 defrost settings are a real treat to me. The demenions are accurate but I didn't realize the wall plug was large so this microwave sticks out 2 inches more in front beyond my shelf edge. My old microwave's plug laid flat against the wall. I am getting use to this and it in no way affects the performance of the product. If I had known it would take up another 2 inches in deepth beyond the listed deminsions I would have purchased a smaller unit so it would fit my space better.

I really researched before I bought this microwave. I had owned a Sharp, one of the first carousel type ones, for 21 years, and it still hadn't died, but was slowing down. I knew I wanted another Sharp and had space constraints, so after doing quite a bit of looking, I chose this one. And I am definitely not sorry! I was a bit daunted at first by all the buttons and choices, but the prompts are a huge help, and it really wasn't hard to figure out at all, especially considering my old one had barely any options. The only thing I would change - Sharp, are you listening? is that the door is very loud when you shut it. There are light sleepers in my house, so I find that sometimes, early in the a.m., I have to leave the door hanging open until they wake up! That's the only reason I gave this item a 4 instead of a 5. Performance-wise, feature-wise, you can't go wrong with this microwave.

This product replaced our still working but rusted 1991 Sharp microwave. That microwave and this one are made great. I slam the door in my haste and it takes it and asks for more. I had to get used to how much more powerful this one was than our last. Cooking times have decreased dramatically which is nice. Controls are easy to use. There is a button that you can press quickly cook (one-touch) in increments of one minute. I use this frequently. Highly recommended. I can't see how you could go wrong with this one.
