   This appliance works much better than my last sharp. As for noise protest I didn’t find it to much different than my ancient microwave. Only terrible part about stainless steel is that you see all the fingerprints everywhere. Really liked the speedy service.

   With too much research, I matured on this terrific microwave. Every brand of microwave seems to have a malfunction-no help horror report. So in the end, if you chance having a microwave at all, this one seems better than most, if not all. It works splendidly without any conundrum with noise or mechanical parts. My experience with Sharp Carousels has been 5 stars. At home and work they have been dependable, efficient, excellent looking, and low-priced. Both the 2.0 and 1.4 cubic foot Carousels are commodious enough for large casseroles. When I calculated my kitchen twenty years ago, I made two not more than-counter cabinet spaces to tuck in a medium and a large “countertop” microwave. I bought Carousels and have used them simultaneously nearly day after day. They have been fantastic workhorses. The smaller one lost some of the digital show to no effect a few months ago, then made nasty modest arcing noises last week and promptly was sent out to pasture. Last year I bought new stainless steel appliances (including Bosch dual fuel slide-in range– the dream machine), and so I chose the stainless steel Sharp R-408LS Carousel 1.4 cubic foot/1100-W with a 14 inch turntable from BJ’s ($99) as a substitution. The contest with the other appliances was so excellent that I replaced the 2 cubic foot/1200-W with Sharp’s R-520KS microwave as well. The show pads are lightly different, but better than losing size in the 1.4 cu. ft. The Carousels contest the Bosch oven door design remarkably, including the rounded window corners. My kitchen looks better than when it was really new with this addition. Knowing that these two new appliances are untried in the long term, I can only say they are 5+ stars as week-ancient additions to my kitchen. The microwaves do everything I want powerfully and promptly. The cost, especially with Amazon Prime shipping, closed the deal.

   I bought the Sharp R-520KS Microwave to replace my ancient White Westinghouse that stopped working with Thanksgiving. I did alot of research before I bought this one. I was worried I wouldn’t find a microwave that worked as well as my last one. The excellent thing is that I could finally replace my white microwave with stainless steel to contest the appliances in my new house. Now I had an excuse to replace it. I was looking for a powerful 1200 watt microwave large enough to fit large dishes in, and this one had some of the best reviews, a decent price, and the stainless steel look I wanted. I also needed a counter top develop since I have no under cabinet space to place one. This microwave works fantastic! I also like how the hegemony panel doesn’t have elevated buttons making it simple to wipe clean with no chance of food or whatever thing getting stuck in the buttons. It has some nice features like the hot water button (you tell it how many cups to heat), small plus button, keep warm setting, and many others. I’ve probably used the hot water and small plus features the most. There are sensor heating buttons, reheat buttons, and defrost buttons, although I haven’t had a chance to use them as much yet. The ones I have used so far work fantastic! My only minor protest is the same as everyone else’s, the buttons all look the same and the start/small plus button and stop/cancel button are located in the midst of all the other buttons making it hard to characterize them promptly. Not too much of an issue, but it would have been nice if those features were located on the bottom or the corner of the show and were different than the others. It wouldn’t keep me from purchasing this microwave since everything else is fantastic and I’m sure I’ll get used to them soon. The microwave is also pretty large, so you can fit alot in there. I’ve heated a cup of water and a dinner sized plate of food at the same time. All in all, this microwave works fantastic, looks fantastic, and was practically priced. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice looking, powerful, counter top microwave.

   Earlier Sharp microwaves have been fantastic, but this develop beats the others we’ve had in features and alacrity–and this newer develop cost a lot less. We haven’t yet used all the features this microwave affords, but we know we’re going to be saving a lot of cooking time

   Like it! Like it! Like it! My Sharp microwave of 10 years finally died. It had survived numerous moves and the door was really held on by strapping tape. We looked around at other microwaves and found we couldn’t beat the price for all the features offered by this develop from. This one was built with the same quality as my ancient one and I don’t doubt it will last as long.
