Customer Reviews

Popcorn for the record books
I'm not one to write reviews of appliances, but I have been very pleased with this microwave. When it's time to upgrade from a $39 dorm microwave, this is the one for you. Lots of bang for your buck.

I am particularly impressed with the sensor feature of the Sharp. When making popcorn, for example, you touch the "popcorn" button once and the overn turns on automatically. When the inside of the microwave reaches a certain temperature the sensor shuts off the oven automatically for ZERO unpopped and ZERO burned kernels. I'm considering calling the Guiness Book of World Records on that one.

Frozen meals cook evenly. I also like that the turntable is flush with the bottom of the oven.

Best Buy was recently selling it for $99 (I purchased it for $89), so $79 is an excellent price. Buy it and be happy.

Best Microwave I've Ever Used
This is a wonderful microwave oven that cooks things perfectly everytime (so far). It uses whats called "sensor cooking" so there is no need to guess about how long things should cook. If you want to reheat things from the fridge, just hit the sensor cook key, the oven starts automatically, the oven decides the amount of time needed and reheats it perfectly. No standing there wondering how long is long enough, no constantly having to waste time opening &uncovering to check if the food is ready. My experience with microwaves says things will be overcooked or undercooked everytime & you need to either stop it early or add extra time, NOT WITH THIS OVEN!!! it also has sensor settings for specific foods, such as frozen entrees, meats, rice, & veggies. Also easy to use, hit sensor and the number that corrosponds with the food you'll be cooking and you're good to go. Simple and easy. Say you use sensor cook to cook something that requiries turning over during the cooking cycle, no problem, the oven will stop, beep, the digital display will read "turn over." Most of the info you need is right there on the oven key panel so no need to keep the instruction book handy to continually check to see how to use this or that feature. The oven even has a help menu on the digital readout. While I haven't experienced no unpopped popcorn kernals, I can say the VERY little kernels remain unpopped. The oven even differentiates between the regular sized bags and the new snacked sized ones. This oven makes microwave cooking even faster because you don't waste time constantly checking the food for doneness. My local K-Mart sells this oven for $109, Walmart wants $99, so the Amazone.com price of $79 is definitely a bargin and with the free shipping, how can you not think this is one of the better purchases you'll ever make.

Excellent!
I bought this microwave through the PC Richard store in my area, (not Amazon) but wanted to write a review about it anyway. I read the other reviews and they almost scared me off from buying this model, but I'm SO glad I ended up buying it. It works really well. All the features, like the sensor cooking take the guessing out of how many minutes to cook something for, which I love. The popcorn button works flawlessly. I'm not used to having such a powerful microwave, at 1200 watts you have to be careful b/c foods cook very quickly and powerfully, so you don't want to burn anything. But, I love it and am very happy with this model. I highly recommend it!
