    Customer Reviews:
    good basic microwave
    I bought this microwave to replace my previous Sharp R-1449. This one is deeper, more plastic, and slightly more powerful. It seems reliable (only have had it 6 weeks), has a good vent and good stove lights. I wish it had a night light and a switch to stop turntable rotation though one can get around it by removing the turntable. My biggest disappointment was that it utilizes a different mounting plate than my previous Sharp microwave.

    I gave it four stars b/c it does the job and it was inexpensive compared to other manufacturers. Incidentally, mounting instructions were very good.

    great!
    great microwave at great price. i bought one from amazon.com last month for $199. it arrived in one week. no shipping charge. looks great. works great. installed easily. (professionally installed for $65.) nice clean lines. easy to operate. hit the button once for one minute. hit it again for each additional minute.

    $150 of Repairs in 5 Years
    We’ve had an earlier model range hood style Sharp oven for five years. We’ve had to replace the circuit board and it has gone through three door handles. There is no one in our household who misuses appliances, so the door handle problem—plastic that is not strong enough to withstand the pulling pressure of the door catch— simply shows the inferior quality of Sharp parts. I’ve actually hoped that the oven itself would stop working so I’d have a legitimate reason to replace it; I can’t bear the idea of throwing out a functioning appliance. This is why I give it 2 stars. But this machine will have cost me $150 in repairs if I replace the broken handle again.

    A good product for a good price
    The install was easy for one person, it would have been easier for two people, but if you are handy and able to put other things together, this should be no problem.

    The light under the microwave is a great plus, we use it as much as the microwave when we are cooking on the stove.

    The only issue we have with this is the fan. It happens to be pretty loud. We are not sure if this has to do with the fact that we have it on re-circulation mode as opposed to external exhuast, but that is the one thing we would change.

    Other than that we are very happy with it!

    We use the defrost option almost every night for meat and it is great-

    Also pluses for two different popcorn options depending on the size you are cooking!

    Decent For The Money
    I just finished installing and using this and it’s a decent microwave for the money. It’s construction is pretty flimsy though, (very thin metal), and mine came pre-dented right out of the box with a minor dent in the left side with some minor scratches.

    The touch pad was also very loose and I had to use a thin washer behind it as a wedge to tighten it up.

    Like I said, it’s decent for the price and Amazon’s free shipping made it an even better deal.

    I hope it lasts longer than the last two Sear’s “Galaxy” models that I bought. The first one went south in the first three weeks and the replacement didn’t even last two years.
