"First Rate at a Great Price"
Sharp looking sharp, full of features and shortcuts. One button function for most common usages (such as popcorn or reheating a dinner plate). It takes up very little space but has a lot of power for a small microwave. If you have a small kitchen you could do a lot worse than this little gem.

"just as we expected"
microwave is for apartment, so we didn't use it ourselves. However it is just as we expected and that's fine. The microwave cover came a day or so later. We prefer it to the one we were using, so we put our old one in the apartment.

"Pretty but very basic"
I was forced to replace my old 800 watt microwave which I owned for about six years. I was stunned that there were very few small microwaves for sale in the stores (I live in the Chicagoland area - we have just about every store imaginable). I had done my initial research online and settled on a Sharp, since they all had favorable reviews.

I really chose this one for its looks, and I am sorry I did. I didn't really think about the features my old microwave had that I had grown dependent on - the "quick on" feature that I could just press "quick" then "5" to cook for 5 minutes, and even the green glowing LED time-of-day light. My advice - if you are replacing an old unit, really think about the features that you use the most, and look for those in your replacement.

This unit is pretty, but subject to fingerprinting (stainless steel - duh). It is very lightweight - it almost feels like a can that can dent. I hate the LED display - I can't see it when the sun is bright in my kitchen. It is a little slower to cook than my last 800 watt machine. For a basic machine it is OK, but for everyday kitchen use, keep looking.

"A little dynamo"
I loved this little dynamo so much I bought another one for a future back up.
It has a lot of different options for microwaving food. They seem to work great.

It's not fancy, it is louder than a full size, and there is no light except when its running and the lighting is poor at best. It is very small and is best for warming up food and liquids not cooking something from scratch. But in real life that's all I did with my big microwaves of the past.

I had a custom kitchen put in and the area in the cabinet to hold the microwave was based on the dimensions for this size model. That's why for the price of $79.00 it was worth buying a backup for the hopefully not to distant future when this one fails for the last time.

I would recommend this little guy to everyone, if what you need is an appliance that looks good, is small, and you only use it to heat up things.


"A good temporary replacement"
This item is a good temporary replacement until I get my OTR microwave/convection oven. I needed something in a hurry and this fit the bill. It looks good, works fine, albeit a bit small inside. I think it would be great for one person.
