Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless

We have had this for a year, give or take, and have not had a problem yet. With that in mind it is a microwave. My last one lasted 10 years or more. I expect this one to as well. it seems sturdy, it cooks well. It is not too powerful (yes this is possible) so most things that say cook for 1 min actually do take 1 minute.

We do not use this as much as other appliances but when we do we are confident it will work. It is easy to clean too. Easy to use, easy to set the clock, easy to open, etc. It fits all the dishes we use in the microwave. It is bigger inside than the one it replaced, but that was 10+ years old so I would hope this one has more internal room. It has the same external dimensions as the old one, give or take.

It works, enough said about that.

Our old microwave was too large to fit in the space designated for a microwave in our kitchen remodel. Plus we'd gone to stainless steel appliances so this model fit right in. It is still large enough to take my biggest microwave cookware. It cooks quickly & the turntable is a definite plus.

We're very happy with it.

Good size microwave. Used very little but only lasted 2 months.
Will try to deliver to a Sharp service center and will report back.
Not so easy to figure out the controls. After 2 months it makes a noise and does not heat up the food.

This is the perfect medium-size microwace. It has buttons for defrost, popcorn, melt, soften, warm and reheat. It is simple and easy to use. It is not too small and not too big and fits nicely in the space in my kitchen.

I needed to replace my GE Overrange Microwave (which magnatron broke after only three yrs) and decided with so many bad reviews of the more expensive brands to go ahead and try the Sharp R-305KS. So far, so good! It fits my countertop and looks really nice. I find it easy to use. The only thing in comparison to the GE model is that it takes a little longer to cook food thoroughly and sometimes there are uneven areas (but I haven't used a microwave that cooks food perfectly even anyway). As long as this microwave outlasts my GE (which now serves as a breadbox) I'll be happy. I'll be happier anyway just because I didn't have to spend a fortune on this one!
