Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-230KW 800-Watt 4/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Microwave, White
Customer Review: It didn't even last a year!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a normal, reasonable microwave user- I don't use it to conduct experiments for nefarious purposes or anything of the like...just want to heat up my breakfast in the morning! I've never had a microwave die on me less than a year into our relationship- that is, until I bought the Sharp R-230KW. Bought it in July 2009, it's early March 2010, and it shuts itself off every five seconds. Unfortunately, I didn't fill out their warranty card and can't find my receipt (that's totally my fault, I know!)- so it looks like I'll be out the money. When I buy a new one, I don't think it'll be a Sharp this time. Buyer beware...Customer Review: Good, Bad, but not Ugly

I've used this microwave for 2 1/2 years now.
I see the Amazon price has increased.
Several things I don't like about it.
* If the controls are below eye-level, it's hard to manage. I end up hitting the START button for a one-minute exposure most times. I find the details of cooking foods in this microwave too boring and complex.
*Generally, I detest the "touch" controls. Over time, the labels get more difficult to read, etc.
* The plate doesn't seat real securely on its tray.
The good point is it's still working.
(Next time, I will probably pick one up at Walmart.)
Customer Review: Failed after 6 months
Summary: 1 Stars
My family's original Sharp microwave from the 80s lasted forever, so I though it'd be a safe bet to go with another Sharp. Well, it's obvious that these newer models are not manufactured to the same level of quality as the original Sharp microwaves that most of us know and love. After 6 months, the clock started to fade, and the whole right column of the control panel, which includes the cook, 1-minute cook, etc stopped working.
I've resorted to using the "Popcorn" button, since that's at least still a one-touch cook. Otherwise, it's just an oversized paperweight. Very disappointed with this product.
Customer Review: IT'S SMALL...BUT A GOOD MICROWAVE!
Summary: 3 Stars
Hi, My old microwave went off and had about 10 years of service with an every day ware, so that was good anyway. I bought this one, just to get by until we move to Miami FL on April next year 2010. A friend of mine, will buy it from me plus most of my furniture.
This one is OK for what we need to warm up so far. The one we had before was bigger and had more power too, but I will buy a good one when I get to Miami next time
I recommed the Sharp Products because of the famous life and good reputation the products have. So that's it!
We like it very much, so far is doing a great job!
Customer Review: "More than adequate for the price"
Summary: 4 Stars
I was downsizing when I purchased this microwave--both in size and in heat content. My biggest satisfaction with this product was that it fit the small space that had been created in my kitchen cabinet design for a microwave. My second goal had been to have an all-white product, which is hard to find in today's black or stainless appliance kitchens. I have no complaints about the heating quality or the control choices. My only reminder of a lesser-product is that the door makes the sound a metal door will make, when it is opened or closed. But this product is more than adequate for the price.
