Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-230KK 800-Watt 4/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Microwave, Black
Customer Review: An Overnight Transformation from Good to Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
Everything seemed right about this compact microwave when it first arrived. I have another Sharp model elsewhere that I love and had high expectations for this one. Size was perfect. Price was perfect. My son's girlfriend remarked about how quiet it was compared to her's of another brand. And it was! Then about a month after I started using it it began to make a terrible racket and has stayed that way ever since. It emits a constant sound reminiscent of a street being jackhammered! I still use it but stare at it expecting something to happen. I also noticed that when the room is dark I can see the interior light around the control panel. Makes me wonder further about it's construction. Reviews were a mixed bag and expect I'll be soon shopping for a new microwave.Customer Review: Bad Durability
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this microwave oven around 3 years ago and
were in general happy with it, except for the hard-
to-read, antiquated design of the clock/timer display.
However, recently most of the number keys on the touchpad
quit working when punched. Now we have to input a time
using the few keys that still operate, use some math to
figure out what the display will read when it has heated up
long enough, and then watch it like a hawk while it cooks.
There seem to be a lot of good reviews on this oven, and I
guess we just got a dud, because a microwave oven should
last a lot longer than this. But we're going to have to
replace ours when we can, and next time it's not going
to be a Sharp.
Customer Review: Defective!
Summary: 1 Stars
I ignored the reviews on this site and others that complained of a loud, tinny rattling sound when operating. I assumed that maybe it was an older model they were reviewing, or a fluke with a isolated batch of product. I got my package yesterday, set up the microwave, and upon using it for the first time I was disappointed to discover that the one I ordered was no exception. Brand new, out of the box, with a very loud, tinny rattling sound coming from somewhere in the motor. Very frustrating to have to repackage this, schedule a UPS pick-up, and send it back to Amazon for a refund. HUGE waste of time!!! I previously owned a similar Sharp model that was reliable for 10+ years, but this model is definitely a dud!Customer Review: Great little microwave
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this product about a month ago to replace a Samsung that finally died after years of use and abuse.
So far so good - it's easy to use, does it's job and does it well. I agree with the other reviewer who said it's good with potatoes - I've baked sweet potatoes in it and they cook perfectly!
My only concern is the keypad feels a bit flimsy - not too sure how that will hold up over time, especially if you're heavy-handed about punching in the numbers. Also, the buttons are on the small side which could be an issue for those with bigger hands. But overall, this little microwave is a big value for the price, so for now I'm rating it 5 stars.
Customer Review: Small size with plenty of power
Summary: 5 Stars
Its a small compact microwave with an attractive black finish that hides finger prints better than the white magic chef that I had before... This unit actually holds more food than it looks like it can and considering how UPS tossed it over my gated fence leaving it on my front lawn in the RAIN all day until I got home from work that night instead of leaving it at my side door like I've told UPS a hundred times to do, this little microwave has to be unbreakable...
It defrost and cooks food quick and efficently, the rotating device in the microwave is durable and stable... My only complaint would be with button placement but I'm getting used to it...
