 "Nothing sharp here" 2010-06-12
By Charles Baron (Los Angeles, CA United States)
Recalling how fast Amazon ships on book orders I naively believed the same would apply to a microwave oven. Forget it. And not only was delivery slow it was late. A product made in Japan was shipped to Los Angeles from New York state. Go figure. Does Amazon provide this kind of shipping info before you order? No. Now to top it all off the product is flawed: the exterior of the control keypad is apparently a piece of plastic stuck onto the underlying surface, which has since developed air bubbles that will not go away. It looks shoddy; it feels shoddy. Recommendations: 1) Don't buy small appliances through Amazon; 2) Don't buy this microwave oven.

 "Power Level can't be entered directly" 2009-12-20
By The Finance Buff (USA)
If you use microwave oven to defrost and you'd like to enter the time and power level directly, good luck. On my old oven, I go Time -> 2:00 -> Power -> 3 -> Start. On this oven, the power level can't be entered directly. You have to press the Power Level 7 or 8 times to get it down to 30%. Terrible usability.

 "Sticker" 2009-07-02
By Wowly (CA)
Be aware the door is plastic and they place a sticker on it that cannot be removed without damaging the plastic. I sure wish I had just returned to Target.

 "Panasonic or Sharp? The Light Made the Difference" 2008-06-19
By RainyDay (San Diego, CA)
I've had this microwave for three weeks and am very pleased. I previously owned a Panasonic which performed well but died after 3 years.



I decided on the Sharp based on very good reviews but most of all because of the utility light that turns on when the door is opened and during cooking. The Panasonic was only lighted during cooking; I found it inconvenient to check food "in the dark" when I opened the door.



The door does have a loud, distinct "clunk" upon closing. I find it noticeable but not disturbing.



The Sharp has the utility light, cooks well, has good defrost features, and a very fast (one touch) minute button for cooking. I'm glad I chose the Sharp over the Panasonic.

 "Love it!!" 2007-11-03
By kksox (East Longmeadow, MA)
I had the older version of this microwave. I owned that for about 8 years and the panel with the digital buttons, numbers burned out. So I could never see what time I programmed in. The door kept getting stuck closed too. For the price and the wear, it is a great product, that is why I chose to buy another one. I have had it for 6 months or so and it is so similar to my other one, I needed no instruction. It is very easy to use, and durable. Very good power for a smallish microwave. Go for it!!

 "worth the gamble" 2010-03-15
By J. Falkenberg
The microwave isn't as powerful as I'd like but it gets the job done. It just takes a little more time. The convection feature was ready in ten minutes and works great. I read the negative reviews about people getting lemon ovens and leaving them at a repair shop forever, but I decided it was a great price and worth the gamble. It sounds louder at lower power settings, and the turntable makes a racket sometimes, both of which are mentioned in the handbook and are no cause for concern.

 "Nice, but not a work horse" 2010-03-09
By Pierce H. Thompson (Erwinna, PA)
We have owned our Sanyo Microwave Oven with convection and grill for almost two months, and have attempted to test all functions in order to write a complete review. We rely heavily on reviews to help us decide what to buy, so we did our best to evaluate this oven. At almost $180.00 it is not a trivial purchase.

The design is sleek, and the controls easy to use -- but as other reviewers cautioned, keep the booklet handy!

The microwave functions -- cook, auto menu cooking (limited to microwave), auto reheat all work as well as our last microwave -- a G/E over the range.

However, the conbined functions -- micro plus grill, convection plus grill, leave much to be desired.

The roast chicken function -- a combination of micro and grilling is neat and works well -- but does not save time, although it probably saves energy and kitchen heat compared to cooking chicken in a standard oven. When the chicken was taste-tested our family concluded that it was pretty good chicken and assumed that the time to cook was materially reduced -- which it was not. It was agreed that in a "time-bind" they would eat this chicken, but preferred standard oven baked. Given that the chicken took about ten minutes longer than it would have in the oven, the saving was a hot kitchen in the summer, and probably many BTUs.

Combo 1(Micro and Convection) works well -- but it is not fast! Nor are there timing guides. (More on this later)



We have not used Combo 2 (Microwave and Grill) for anything but hot dogs. Too slow by half! Steak is a treat for us, so we cook it with much ceremony outside -- but my experience with grilling hot dogs fo lunch caused me to turn on the broiler in our "real"stove to finish them.



Combo 4 (grill and convection) is rather a joke. Today, in anticipation of putting our review on paper, I took two defrosted quarter pound hamburgs and put them on the grill rack. Dialed in 20 minutes on Combo 4 and walked away. At 20 minutes, the hamburgs registered about 100 degrees F. internal -- as in not cooked. I added another 5 minutes and temped them and got to 120 degrees. Another 6 minutes got them to an edible internal temperature of 140. Thirty minutes to "grill?" two hamburgers?



The convection function alone works well for small quantities of food. But, it is important to note that this is not a convection oven -- in other words an oven that cooks more rapidly than a "standard" oven.



So, what is this neat little oven good for? As a micro it's great. In the same space as a micro you can heat dinner rolls on convection when your main oven is tied up, or bake appetizers while the roast is roasting in the main oven.



What's missing? A recipe book would have helped. The first time I cooked hamburgs using Combo 4 I figured they would cook faster than the time to heat my T-Fal Compact Multi-Grill (rather a waste for two burgers!) and I was dead wrong! (The reason for today's test.) If there had been a booklet or time sheet that indicated 30 minutes to cook two thawed burgers -- well T-Fal would have had the whole job rather than finishing it up!



For people who live in dorm rooms (I was once one of those!) who want all the functions of an oven and a micro in one box -- I would have been glad to have this Sanyo. But -- a recipe book that might indicate time to cook various things -- would really help.



Are we glad we bought this oven? Well, yes. But, and this is important, it is not a Micro/Convection Oven -- nor does it claim to be one.



This oven is a great microwave -- we are very happy with the micro functions. It is also a nice "auxilliary" oven for entertaining -- as long as you can work out the times. It probably saves energy over heating up our main gas oven for small things and will likely keep heat out of our kitchen in the summer.

 "Horrible, stay away." 2010-01-18
By Y. Erez (New York)
I read all the reviews on this page and blindly clicked that "buy now" button without putting too much thought into it, and I had to come back here and warn you guys. This is a COMPLETE waist of money. I can only assume the other 5 star reviews are fake and written by the manufacturer / stores because this thing BARELY functions as any of the mentioned utilities.



THE MICROWAVE



This is the less defective feature on this device. The microwave works ok, but with the most confusing, unintuitive controls ever (just look at the picture of the controls and see if you can figure it out). The microwave work, but I didn't find a way to change it's power settings, and accessing all the preset programs is a pain every time you do it.



THE OVEN



This is the WORST part of this device, and you can clearly see that this is not a functioning oven simply because THERE IS NO TEMPERATURE CONTROL. What kind of oven doesn't have temperature control? And after 2 months in use, the grill bars are rusty and whenever I try to use them they smoke up the entire room



PLEASE do yourselves a favor and get a separate toaster oven / microwave. I made the mistake of combining them and now I'm paying for it :(

 "The Good, Bad, and not so Ugly" 2009-12-19
By William Mills (Los Angeles, Ca)
Simply put, the price makes this product choice one, regardless of the minor flaws. If, that is, one must have a combination microwave/convection oven, and works for a living. I had hoped to chuck my old convection oven and circa 1990 microwave. Mission accomplished on the old convection oven, but the old microwave is still around. Why? Well, the Sanyo Microwave was simply not as powerful, and more importantly one must remove the rack from the Sanyo to microwave. It was easier just to throw stuff in the old microwave then rotate out the rack. Which brings me to my convection issue, the oven is not as powerful as my old one and the space is significantly smaller, no more pizzas, unless they are mini ones.

So the good is the ability of less picky individuals to rotate out the rack, and accept the weaker power of the microwave/oven. In doing so they acquire a combo unit and can ditch the old products. The bad is the smaller size, annoyingly small oven rack, and popcorn that even at full power takes 3.30 minutes. Less important is that the minute setting function and other options can only be accessed with the door open. This is annoying as well. Just put all the damn commands on the outside so I don't have to open the door,Sanyo. Finally, the unit is not bad looking and matches my silver themed kitchen.

So for us working class folks this is the unit of choice. If you are affluent, and shop Amazon then drop five bills you cheap thug and buy the name brand, larger, more powerful, and classier unit.

 "A good alternative to having multiple machines" 2009-12-09
By FRMEADOWS (New York, USA)
I bought this product because we did not have the space for both a microwave and a toaster oven/convection oven. We have two young kids and making things quick is what we needed. While the grill feature does not do the best job of really "grilling" like a grill would, it does heat up hot dogs better than the microwave feature does AND I can "grill" bread and get it toasted. The convection part has worked out fine, though probably not as good as a full sized oven. BUT, it is perfect for small items.



The controls are different because it uses a dial to control some features like time and such. I will not say that is better or worse than button controls, just different.



I am glad we purchased this product because it has made making meals easier especially defrosting meats, bagels, etc.

 "Stopped heating after 7 months" 2010-03-10
By David Brubacher (San Francisco, CA)
We bought this unit to replace a nearly identical version that had been in our home for ages and had finally died. After only 7 months of very infrequent use, the heat function stopped working on the new unit. It looks like it's working, but nothing gets hot. I guess you get what you pay for...

 "Good value, plenty of even power" 2009-12-19
By M. Stewart (Texas, USA)
This microwave is nice and compact, yet it has a roomy interior that will handle just about anything. The turntable rotates in both directions, allowing more even heating of foods. I have had excellent results in reheating leftovers.



The keypad is quick and easy enough to use for your standard time input of minutes and seconds. It is also easy to use the keypad as a count-down timer; just punch in the minutes and seconds, and "Timer". The one-minute button is just a single push; no need to hit "Start" also.



The "shortcut" features are extremely complex and end up taking more keystrokes than to just punch in the time. To use the "Popcorn" shortcut button, you have to punch that button several times, depending on the size of the bag. Some of the shortcut keys have been useful, but deciphering how many times to hit the button will require a lot of practice or keeping the manual handy. The "Power Level" button requires pushing it up to ten times to select 90%, 80%, .... levels.

 "Noisy But Nice" 2009-10-21
By C. Stuewe-Portnoff (Columbia, MO USA)
This microwave looks good and operates well, as microwave ovens go. What I wish I'd known: (1) It's noisy. Specifically, it's loud when operating and the door cannot be opened and closed quietly. (2) The keypad for setting time and power level is not intuitive or self-explanatory - requires reading the manual and memorizing sequences for different functions. (3) Food is not always evenly heated, and popcorn will burn before it stops popping, unless the power level is reduced. This model is larger than most compacts, a couple of inches too big to fit on many standard microwave carts, so it's taking up counter space - my fault, should have measured for this before ordering. All in all, it does the job.

 "Great Value - Very Powerful" 2009-08-30
By Renee Bradley
This microwave DEFROSTS PERFECTLY with no cooked edges. I've only had this unit for six days but I am thoroughly impressed. This replaced a GE that cost four times as much and quit working after only 2 1/2 years (and didn't perform nearly as well as this Sharp). At this price, even if it lasts only a couple of years, I feel it will have been money well spent.

 "Smells Bad and Food Taste Bad!!!!!" 2010-02-03
By Brooke J. Franklin (ks)
We used this in our office and after about 6 months we noticed the microwave made a high pitch squeal and when you would open the door it kind of smelled like it was burning up-like melted plastic. It still works but now our food is starting to be tastless, except for a metalic and plastic taste. Cant be healthy! We are throwing it in the trash and getting a new GE! By the way this was bought in store not online.

 "One month is all it was worth." 2010-01-27
By Sean B. Daughtry (Virginia)
We received this Microwave as a gift for Christmas to replace the 11 year old one that worked fine but was outdated. This CuisinArt microwave looked very nice and worked just fine out of the box for exactly one month. Now everytime you close the door, it turns on by itself and stays on. It just goes and goes and you can't press any buttons to stop it. The only way to stop it is to unplug the darn thing. Now we don't have a microwave because last week, I gave the old one to a good cause. This just happened so I can't comment on how the return of this product will be, but I would certainly steer clear of buying this junk and I would also recommend you NOT buying any small appliance over the internet. There are some purchases that are great to buy online but small appliances isn't one of them. Save your money and frozen food and DO NOT BUY the CuisinArt CMW-100 Microwave! It has a mind of its' own and is quite dangerous.

 "I love This Microwave" 2010-01-08
By W. Thomas
This is a great microwave. It is so sleek looking, both inside and out. I have used it everyday. I admit, I have to keep the instruction booklet on my cabinet by it, as I am using it to actually cook my meals. I don't use it just to reheat food. I would recommend this microwave to everyone.

 "Best looking by far" 2009-12-23
By Lucky Girl (In a good place!)
Excellent product for the price. If you are short on space, this unit looks smart inside and out. The outside side panels are NOT stainless - they are gray, so if you're trying to keep a clean look that matches fridge/stove/etc, a cubby or nook to place it in would be best. I've actually had people exclaim out loud when the open it... the inside is gorgeous.

This is my third Cuisinart product. My experience with customer service has been great, especially the man who ran the warehouse that my coffee maker parts came from. Send in your warranty card: if anything goes wrong you have a better chance of smooth dealings.

 "::cannot clean the spatter off of a spatter prone gadget:: Look elsewhere" 2009-12-16
By Neema Kharva (Seattle, WA USA)
UPDATE: no joy of clean :( - Updating review to 1 star



The bad, no the real REAL bad



- You CANNOT sanitize this puppy completely.

here is why: anyone who has used a microwave has experienced a splatter here and there. I am no exception either. Up until now, I would grudgingly ignore the door after making sure the rest of it was sparkling. Last night I re-heated some ravioli in marinara sauce and forgot to cover it. So I got a huge tomato splatter in the interior and yes I earned it. Fair enough.



I just called Cuisinart this morning and they told me, the door is not designed to be cleaned!!!! Hello?!!! NOT DESIGNED TO BE CLEANED? Ever heard something so illogical? If you are rolling your eyes at that, listen to this. The lady then went on to advise me that I should use a paper towel to cover the door every time I microwave.



I will post pictures another time, but please save your money and don't buy one of these until the engineers at Cuisinart rectify this obvious design flaw.(after ALL the gadgets they manufacture - they did not foresee this? do they test these things before they put out to the public)



Funny, even though the joke is on me.







The good:



- Good looking - and in my kitchen, and I am sure in yours :) - that is a must

- Compact, does not occupy too much counter space (if you put it there, that is). I put mine on a wine stand that is about a foot wide.

- handy in a crunch - is stainless steel friendly and therefore great for reheating food without having to transfer it to 'microwave' safe containers first. I cannot live without this feature - spoilt - I know

- great price point

- I am sorry to disagree with other users who found this junk - I have owned one for two years, and have never had a problem with it. (who know, my almost negative review might be my undoing)

- mostly easy to clean - cleaning the door is a whole other ball game



*** The three stars were because the product lasted me flawlessly for so long. It still works.

 "Nicely working with no complaints" 2010-02-08
By W. Annis (Alaska)
This is a great buy for its' price. What sold me on this Sharp originally was a review from another buyer. It noted that the interior cooking space is large enough for a dinner plate. This is true, and there's still a little space to spare. The cooking options are well engineered and cooking is easy. There are many quick-cooking, re-heating, thawing etc. options pre-programmed so using it is easy. I wanted something that wasn't as big as some of the standard sized ovens because of limited kitchen counter space. Judging from the dimensions in the initial ad, this oven looked like it would fit well where I wanted to put it. It's a convenient size and fits well in several places. The clock on the front is well placed and easily readable from anywhere in the room. The stainless outer framework looks nice and is easily cleaned. The door is noisier than I would have thought but this was noted in the review that I read pre-purchase. This doesn't bother me at all. The interior compartment is well lit and ventilated. I bought this oven replacing another Sharp that I'd had since about 1992 that was still working well, although causing electrical interference with audio equipment in an adjacent apartment. This machine does not. I've never had a bad experience with Sharp brand appliances and was brand specific when shopping for this replacement oven. Power output is sufficient. I haven't used this oven for cooking raw materials but its many options for doing this are documented in the instruction materials and easily understood. I think this is a great product.

 "Looks Great" 2010-01-30
By Dorothy A. Lafreniere (Oxford, ME USA)
This fit perfectly into the space I wanted. Dimensions were correct. Heats very evenly and the turntable works smoothly. Easy to clean. Happy that we purchased this for ourselves.

 "Open, Sesame!" 2010-01-30
By J. Pringle (Tucson, Arizona United States)
Alas, the door would not open for love or money. Imagine the frustration. Whether it jammed at the factory (my guess) or during shipment, it had to go back to Amazon. Still, I give the experience Three Stars. Sharp is a respected brand, it was indeed a very handsome appliance offered at a fair price, and Amazon was probably blameless.

 "Works for a while, but..." 2010-01-29
By Solanales (Saint Paul, Minnesota United States)
We purchased this little Sharp microwave a couple of years ago. It worked fine up until the last six months or so. The touchpad buttons have been going dead, one by one. We are left with the "minute plus" button and a few remaining number buttons to do most of our cooking at the moment.

 "Caveat Emptor" 2010-01-26
By renaissance man (IL USA)
While I can't vouch for the microwave breaking down as other 1-star reviews report, I can confidently say this is perhaps the worst purchase I've ever made. Originally attracted to the Sharp R-305KS for it's "Best Reviewed" mid-sized microwave oven from a popular and objective online review service (no, not CR), I sadly ignored the growing number of 1-star ratings and bit the bullet.



What's the most important "feature" of a microwave oven? Well, now I know that it's "heating evenness," something I've always taken for granted with microwaves until owning the Sharp R-305KS. Nearly every time this microwave is used to reheat leftovers, my wife or I (or both) are faced with returning to the microwave to re-reheat our meal because of cold spots in the food. This was never a concern with our old 1000-watt microwave.



I could mention other cons (buttons wearing, popcorn setting burns popcorn, hard to keep clean), but not heating food evenly is enough to justify the 1-star rating. Perhaps I got a lemon? Maybe, but at this point 25% of reviewers have given it one star. Not good.

 "The best micro convection around!" 2009-07-12
By S. Romo (Vancouver, WA)
I have owned 2 microwave convection Sharp Carousel's. One on the counter and one over the range. Both have lasted an extremely long period of time without any problems and were easy to clean. I believe my mom is on her 3rd in 25 years! I recently own a Kenmore Elite micro convection hood and 1) it will never heat to 450, 2) it takes a half hour to heat to 350 and 3) it died after 3 years!!! I recommend this to anyone looking! LOVE IT.

 "This is my second one of these" 2009-01-12
By L. Straight (Southern California)
We bought the first one of these almost 4 years ago when we remodeled the kitchen. It has performed flawlessly as a microwave and convection oven. We did not use it as an over-range exhaust fan in that first installation.



I just ordered the second one for use above a small cooktop range in a small kitchen in a "mother-in-law" suite we're building for extended visits by family. I'm expecting the same fine performance.

I have been unable to find filters that fit this microwave. I ordered some through Sharp and they didn't fit. Sharp told me that I would have to get a service man out to install them. The service man could not install them and he called Sharp and was told that there was a design error and there were no filters available for this model. Sharp would not reimburse me for the expense of the service call. Otherwise, it is a great microwave/convection oven.

 "Great microwave and convectional oven" 2008-10-13
By Michael Entin (Seattle, WA USA)
I've selected this model, because it is the only convectional microwave oven that fits my kitchen. Other models require some extra space in front of the microwave on the left side, to be able to open the door. It is not a problem for most kitchens, but if you have a deep cabinet to the left of the microwave that extends in front of oven, Sharp seems like the only option. Sharp has put a smaller door that starts about an inch from the left side of the microwave, so it opens freely.



So far I was not disappointed. I'm mostly using the microwave mode, convectional mode. It cooks well, and the menu is rather intiutive - what else do you need? Auto reheat works well and produces consistently good results. I was not getting very good result with mixed mode (oven + microwave) though.



There are some faults in this model, that I think Sharp should've done better, so it only got 4 starts:

1) The menu system could be better. E.g. the Start button on most microwaves also serves as 'Add minute' or 'Add 30sec', but here it would not do anything - one has to use dedicated 'Add minute' button. I got used to it, but my guests can't easily find this button.

2) The fan is very very loud. It has two speeds, but even with reduced speed, it is very loud. It does not look extremely powerful either.

3) The range light is generated by two small incandescent bulbs. I would expect energy efficient fluorescent lamps or LEDs for this high-end oven. They could've perfectly fit a long tube there, but have instead put old unefficient incandescent bulbs.

4) The interior is stainless steeel, but it is not very smooth, so it takes some effort to clean the microwave.

 "Beware the Bummer Oven " 2008-10-12
By Spinner (New York, NY)
I had to buy this model microwave because my kitchen built-ins were constructed to fit an earlier Sharp model in this line. I loved the old one, even though it only lasted 9 years, but this one has been a tremendous disappointment.

First off, Amazon does not tell you until AFTER your purchase that they subcontract out delivery to a third party who prohibits you from speaking with the driver via his cellphone and thinks nothing of dropping the ball re customer communication: I wasted an entire day waiting for a delivery man who did not ring my bell as instructed and had instead delivered it to my super, which no one bothered to tell me. The delivery was an extremely frustrating fiasco. Amazon needs to take more responsibility vis a vis decent delivery services.

Next point of disappointment: I paid two men to install this monster. (It's practically 80 lbs. and impossible to install solo). So they get it in and fitting properly into the drop-in shelf designed to hold it. Then comes another surprise: Every time I turn it on, it makes a tremendous rattley racket not unlike a jet turbine - nothing at all like the smooth, quiet operation of its predecessor. This noise is so loud you can't even think about listening to NPR or a fellow kitchen occupant during the oven's operation. If I press firmly on the door of the microwave while it's on, the noise mutes, but who can stand in front of the microwave pressing on it every time you zap a potato? I'm not sure if the ace delivery company rattled something loose inside this particular appliance, or if this series model contains a design flaw, but the noise is really horrible.

There's more: I was very impressed with the ease of baking in this oven - the programming is simple enough for a liberal arts major to grasp quite easily. But every time I use the convection function (closely following all the instructions re appropriate containers, elevating the foodstuffs off the rotating plate, etc.,) the oven gives off a menacing odor exactly like you sniff in a terrible electrical fire. There is nothing in the manual concerning either the noise issue or the smell issue.

I'm in NYC, where there are very few options when searching for a specific appliance (I tried to find one locally that would fit my shelf space), but if I could have, I would have previewed this model at a local retailer and seen how it worked there before springing for such an expensive lemon. Because this behemouth is such a hassle to remove and install, it's the kind of thing which, if you do buy it, you should buy with a guarantee of local on-site service. So far, this oven's cost me $1,000.

 "The best micro convection around!" 2009-07-12
By S. Romo (Vancouver, WA)
I have owned 2 microwave convection Sharp Carousel's. One on the counter and one over the range. Both have lasted an extremely long period of time without any problems and were easy to clean. I believe my mom is on her 3rd in 25 years! I recently own a Kenmore Elite micro convection hood and 1) it will never heat to 450, 2) it takes a half hour to heat to 350 and 3) it died after 3 years!!! I recommend this to anyone looking! LOVE IT.

 "This is my second one of these" 2009-01-12
By L. Straight (Southern California)
We bought the first one of these almost 4 years ago when we remodeled the kitchen. It has performed flawlessly as a microwave and convection oven. We did not use it as an over-range exhaust fan in that first installation.



I just ordered the second one for use above a small cooktop range in a small kitchen in a "mother-in-law" suite we're building for extended visits by family. I'm expecting the same fine performance.
