We have had microwave for over a month now. No problems yet. We use it on average 5-10 times a day, and it has been easy for everyone to learn how to use. The last one we had was also a Sharp that lasted a very long time.

We purchased this microwave to replace a very similar Sharp that we had for eight or ten years. It had begun malfunctioning by randomly stopping and by sometimes starting when the door was shut forcefully.

We use our microwave primarily for timed cooking and for reheating, and this oven is doing a fine job for those purposes. I have also used the sensor cooking successfully for chicken breasts.

I have not noticed that it is noisy as I believe some have complained, and I have no trouble hearing the end-of-cooking signal from several rooms away. We are totally satisfied with this microwave so far.

Bought this microwave to replace a 10 year old Panasonic that died. Works well so far. Chose the Sharp after reading several reviews. Seemed to have the best rating for moderate priced units.

We received this product sooner than expected from Amazon, within 2 or 3 days of order. It heats more evenly and effectively than our previous microwave which was a Panasonic. We are especially pleased with the "sensor reheat" function which heats evenly to eating temperature and does not overheat food. At this writing we had only been using the product for one month, but so far we are completely satisfied.

We replaced our old microwave about a month ago for an updated model. This inexpensive microwave does all we needed PLUS many new features! Highly recommend!
