Good (and Loud) April 22, 2006

This is my 4th Sharp microwave and I'm really happy with this oven. Like others have said, it is loud, but with 1200 watts that really should be expected. It's fast, plenty big, looks great, and easy to clean. One concern is in the door button. This is a stainless steel microwave but the button that opens the door is made of very cheap plastic. It's not been a problem for our family of 2, but a family with more people opening and closing the microwave might want to pay particular attention to how flimsy it is. All in all, though, I certainly recommend this product.

Microwave is powerful, but noisy vibrations emanate from its right side. It sits in a nook, so we were able to solve the problem by putting some foam padding between the right side and the wall.
 Great Microwave & Even Greater Amazon Service November 16, 2005

This is a great microwave, especially with the $25 discount Amazon is offering on kitchen purchases over $125. But let me tell you why this purchase was extra special. I was concerned about buying a microwave that had to be delivered (size, weight, fragile, etc) rather than from a local store . But the selection at local stores like Best Buy was so bad, I placed the order. Unfortunately, the day it was supposedly delivered by UPS, no microwave arrived. I called UPS to see if I could start a tracer, but UPS told me that Amazon had to start the tracer because they sent the package. I went to the customer service site, couldn't find a phone number, and used the e-mail system. I thought - great - that e-mail will disappear into the ether, I may never hear from anybody, and here I am without my microwave. That was about 8pm local time when I sent the e-mail.
The next morning when I checked my e-mail, I got quite a surprise. An Amazon rep wrote back, apologized my package had been lost, and re-ordered the item for me. Before too long, I had an e-mail the item was already shipping via 2-day delivery, and sure enough, 2 days later I had the replacement package. Wow! No hassle, no waiting, just great service. I couldn't believe it. I don't think I'll ever hesitate when I want to order something from Amazon again. I don't work for Amazon, they're not paying for this - I've actually never written a product review before. I was just so impressed with the customer service, I had to write.
The final chapter - the day before the replacement microwave arrived, the person who lives in the next cul-de-sac over from us, with the same house number, and with a street name similar to ours, showed up with the original microwave that UPS had mistakenly delivered to them. I wrote Amazon customer service an e-mail, and once again after a very quick response, I was able to arrange for UPS to come pick up the extra package. Thanks Amazon. You're great.
I love this thing February 26, 2006

Not bad April 30, 2007

This is my second Sharp microwave, the first one faithfully served my family through 14-years of everyday use and it will be sorely missed. I settled on the R-520lk as a replacement which is basically the same thing except it's black in color. As others have stated the door is LOUD, and I don't care for the layout on the control panel. For one, the display is too small and the buttons are laid out kind of weird. Even after one-month of ownership I still haven't gotten used to the controls on this thing.
On the plus side, this microwave works very well and the sensor reheat function is exceptional. In fact, this feature alone is worth the cost! During the spring and summer my family practically lives off the barbeque and I always cook extra for lunches and "leftover night." Using sensor reheat, this microwave does a fantastic job of reheating pork, chicken, or steak, and it always comes out moist and tender just like it came off the grill.
Minor complaints aside, this is a pretty decent micro and definitely worth the money.
