This thoughtfully designed microwave strikes an ideal balance between simplicity and capability, making it a reliable kitchen companion. The straightforward controls and quick-press buttons eliminate confusion, while the efficient 1000-watt heating consistently delivers impressive results for everyday tasks. Its space-smart design accommodates full-size plates without hogging counter space, and the notably quiet operation won't disturb household peace. While the gray interior might make food monitoring slightly challenging, the solid construction and smooth-operating door mechanism reflect its built-to-last quality - something longtime owners particularly appreciate. Families value the child safety lock, though some wish its activation was more intuitive. The bright LED display ensures good visibility, even if it runs a bit intense at night.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This micowave was exactly what we wanted. We wanted a basic easy to use microwave that works well. This one does a great job. We didn't want a micowave thatwas complicated, cooks a 5 course meal or so computerized a thousand things can go wrong. This one fits the bill. Fits nicely on our counter, Powerful enough to heat things quickly and heats evenly. Easy settings and easy open door once you disable the child locks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick and Thorough I've been using the Sharp 1.1 cu. ft. 1000W Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave, and overall it's been a reliable addition to my kitchen. It reheats leftovers thoroughly, with food coming out evenly heated all the way through and no cold spots in the middle. It also does a great job with Orville Redenbacher's popcorn, popping nearly every kernel without burning. There are a few things that could be better. The popcorn setting struggles with AMC popcorn, so I have to adjust the time manually for that brand. There's also a noticeable hum while it's running. It's not overly loud, but you'll hear it. I also had to remove the child lock on the door, which was a hassle. Overall, it's a dependable, good-looking microwave that handles the basics well, especially reheating. If you can live with a slight hum and some trial and error with certain popcorn brands, it's a good value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Countertop Microwave This microwave fits perfectly on my counter and is just the right wattage for warming up and cooking easy dishes. I love the interior color of gray instead of white and it has been super easy to clean. Has a lot of nice features that I enjoy using. I do wish the clock were not quite so bright or that it could be dimmed but that is a small inconvenience. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrific Features! Our Sharp microwave is used *every day* for everything from small instant snacks to reheating plated meals. Seems like Sharp has delivered quality microwaves F O R E V E R because we've always returned to the Sharp product line after 'experimenting' with other brands, the Sharp long term durability is unmatched in our experience. The Sharp easy-use menu system and options give us the flexibility to maximize its use in our busy daily schedule. However, we do miss the rather trivial 'message' when a cooking cycle has ended, our previous Sharp microwaves displayed 'END' when the cycle finished - like I said, it's a trivial con, but we do miss it when things get busy around the kitchen! All in all, we wouldn't trade our Sharp microwave for ANY OTHER brand whatsoever!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Once a sharp always a sharp I’ve owned sharp microwaves since about 1990 and I got a new one now not because the old one broke but simply because it was seven years old and a little dirty. The new one is quieter and has better rubber grips so that it doesn’t slide around on the counter. Everything else is the same as the old which I love.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE this microwave We spent a long time looking for a good microwave that fit all our needs: high wattage (over 1100) , counter top, not loud, & not too big but big enough to have a good wattage. This microwave has surpassed my expectations! You can turn the child lock feature off, which is really nice because that was the only review that stuck out to me as being “bad.” I’d recommend this to anyone who needs a counter top microwave that actually warms your food evenly and quickly! It’s had no problems since purchased and I’d buy it again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 1.1 Cu. Ft. 1000 W Microwave Experience I had a previous Sharp model of the same rating for six years. This Sharp model is quieter than the previous model and well constructed. The touchpad menu is easy to use, with lots of features. I use it to heat or defrost frozen food and reheat leftovers. I use it to warm up drinks every day. Reheating pizza is my favorite, the taste as good as fresh. I like the bright display. As recommended, I wipe it clean after each use inside and out, to keep it in prime shape. I would recommend this same model to friends or anyone else that needs one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Microwave replacement This new Sharp microwave replaces our old Sharp that was very old. We loved our old one so much that we knew we wanted to replace it with the same brand. We like the new one even more, as it is a tad smaller so it takes up less space but just as expansive inside and powerful as our old one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replaced my 17 year old Sharp! My last, and greatest, microwave was a Sharp. It last longer than my marriage. And then one day it just wouldn’t turn on. I was frantic. Not at being without a critical (to me) kitchen appliance but at the loss of a friend. My microwave had been there for me when others weren’t. It listened to my morning groans. It helped with my party planning. It gave me warm milk for the nights I couldn’t sleep. So then began the hunt for a replacement. I knew my old model was no longer in production so I made a very scientific deduction - I compared pics and found my new kitchen helper. It’s perfect. It’s got a few bells and whistles I’m still figuring out but it’s my Sharp. I’m relieved. I’m proud of myself. I’m still grieving for the old one but life does indeed go on. Thank you Sharp for giving me a new lease on life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good basic microwave since I've had this microwave a short time I can't attest to it's longevity, but I did have another sharp carousel years ago that lasted a very long time, so I hope this current one will be similar. So far, I have no complaints. It's a very easy to use basic microwave that serves my needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect size microwave for 1 person Easy to use, and the perfect size and functions for someone who doesn't need or want more bells and whistles such as air fryer or convection capabilities. The spacious interior is well lit, and the controls are very user friendly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great microwave. It's nice & quiet, easy to operate, seems to be built well, not cheap. Plus, it looks great! Hope it continues with no problems.

Hi, what is the exact length of the power cord? I have seen answers ranging from 3 to 5 feet and 42 inches, which is quite a wide range. Could you confirm the exact measurement?

what is the height including legs

Asked by: jimr
Legs? No real legs. There's like a one inch "bottom" that runs across the whole bottom area. The actual height (all measurements) should be in the advertisement. I bought mine just under a year ago and the digital clock/timing lights started burning out after about 6 months! First, one, then another, and another. You cannot tell by looking at it, what time it is! I do NOT recommend this microwave. I was smart enough to buy the extended warranty (which I dont usually do) so I'm hoping when I take it back, that they will honor the warranty and either fix, or replace it. My last microwave lasted over 35 years and was still working just fine when I gave it away. But now days, nothing is built to last anymore. I miss my old microwave!
