Great buy, November 10, 2009
SHARP MICROWAVE R-305KS, November 10, 2009Pleased with Sharp Microwave Oven, November 5, 2009MY THIRD SHARP MICROWAVE, November 2, 2009Do not buy Sharp Carousel Microwave!, October 30, 2009The reason you see everything from 5 star to 1 star reviews for this microwave is that it all depends if the product is working or not. If this microwave works it is functional and relatively easy to use,… but if it konks out -- you have a useless appliance. Sharp knows it is not worth repairing and in all likelihood another microwave will be purchased. Not even 9 months after buying this microwave it made a loud sound and no longer would heat. Personally I want something reliable and am tossing this microwave and moving onto another brand. I am having surgery in a month and will need a microwave and am at least thankful it did not stop functioning just after my surgery. But in all honesty it is not worth playing Russian roulette when you have other microwaves to choose from. Reliability is important to me. There are too many of these types of complaints about this Sharp microwave on Amazon. Why take a chance? Stay away from Sharp microwaves.
