"Good basic microwave" 2010-01-30
By Suzi Crazy (PA)
This is a good basic microwave. I used to have the same model but an older version which lasted so long that I don't remember when I bought it... 10 years? anyway, it is the basic same design as my old one but I have to say the buttons and commands got smaller and not as clear to read because of the panel color combination between the background and the button labels. I guess my eyesight went down too, but still. The tray rotation seems to be a bit noisier than with the old one too. I basically use the quick 1-minute button only to heat up cups of water or nuke left-overs. I never use any other settings so this is good for me.
I hope this one will last as long as the other one, no reason why since it is probably the same basic stuff as my old one, in newer and lighter body.
"Somewhat disappointing --" 2010-01-07
By JNagarya (Boston, MA)
I had a Sharp Carousel II for twenty years almost to the day -- bought 1/10/90; died 12/20ish/09. It was the smallest of the Sharp microwaves available then, and this is the smallest available now. While on one hand this model ups the wattage from 600 to 800, on the other the internal vertical measurement is less by almost an inch. I expected the same internal dimensions (if not more, given the increase in wattage); and can't fathom why they would be reduced. What that shrinkage does it make it a bit more difficult to buy accessories for it: the internal vertical measurement is 7 inches; I've already had to rule out a rice cooker I had in mind.
For comparison, the internal measurements of the Carousel II were:
11 3/4" Wide, 7 3/4" High, 12 3/4" Deep.
The internal dimensions of this oven (note caveats):
12 1/2" Wide, 8" High*, 13 1/4 Deep.
_____
*Measuring from top to bottom at the front edge, and accounting for the turntable system, it is 7" High. Inside, though, it has a "depression" in its "ceiling," so may be near 8" there; but then one must negotiate how to get a 7" High accessory past the narrower opening.
In addition, though this oven is 13 1/4" deep -- an inch deeper than the Carousel II -- it has a turntable system diameter of 10 3/4". The Carousel had a turntable system of some 11 7/8".
_____
The Carousel II cooked fine, and that it lasted twenty years with daily use is impressive. This one also cooks well, and I hope it lasts twenty years. But I also wonder if I should buy a second microwave one size larger.
"works good and guiet so far" 2010-01-07
By Chloe Yoon (NYC)
I have had this item for a month, it's too early to review. So far don't have much complain. I basically use only 2 functions, heating beverage and cook sweetpotato.
cons: With my previous one, it only took 7 minutes for 2 potatos but it takes almost twice time to cook the same amount of sweetpotato.
pro: it has quiet sound (button, operating). love that.
"Nearly perfect" 2009-12-11
By D. Jewell (Indiana, USA)
I reserved a star simply for the one thing that I found wrong with this otherwise perfect microwave...the turntable noise. When we first got it, I nearly packaged it back up because the turntable was incredibly loud. Now that we have used it a few months, the noise is gone. Went from a giant microwave to this smaller version and don't know why we had a big one in the first place! I like the fact that the light on this microwave comes on only when cooking. I also really like the small size, the light weight of the machine, and the sleek design. I purchased this microwave based on other reader's reviews and the fact that there is a bank of about 30 at work. These little guys at work take a serious beating and, other than a few of the turntables not working, heat very well. The ones at work are a few years old now, too.
I do not regret this decision in the least!!
"Can't do without the minute button..." 2009-12-11
By Rose P. (USA)
Yea, I got my Sharp back. I had a Sharp for 5 yrs. and decided to get a new one when I discovered that the plug seemed to be corroding. It still worked fine, but to be safe I got a Hamilton Beach at Walmart...wow, what a piece of junk which I returned. So happy with my new Sharp. 800 watts works well for me, it heats evenly and what I have always loved about the Sharps is the minute button which starts automatically when pressed and can be pressed multiple times. I use that function constantly...so easy. I really like the smaller size, too. If this lasts 5 years I will be happy. Am giving it 4 stars cause the display is not lighted, but still am happy with this purchase. PS - another good thing - the popcorn button, which if pressed once starts automatically, is just right for heating a mug for coffee or tea (2:35)....press once and it's done!
