Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-230KW 800-Watt 4/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Microwave, White
Customer Review: MICRO WITH NON ILLUMINATED CLOCK & CAROUSEL
Summary: 1 Stars
THIS MICRO-WAVE HAS A CLOCK THAT'S NOT ILLUMINATED, AND THE CAROUSEL
LIGHT DOESN'T GO ON WHEN OPENING THE DOOR !!!! ONLY ON WHILE MICRO
IS ACTUALLY TURNING, THEN SHUTS OFF BEFORE YOU TAKE IT OUT OF THE
OVEN..I HAD TO PUT THIS MICRO NEAR THE SUNLIGHT, BUT AT NIGHT EVEN
WITH MY KITCHEN LIGHTS ON YOU MUST STAND NO FURTHER THAN 2 FEET AWAY
TO VIEW CLOCK CLEARLY. (I HAVE 20/20 VISION). I FIND IT ABSURD THAT
SOMEONE WOULD EVEN MANUFACTURE A MICRO-WAVE WITHOUT THESE TWO MOST
IMPORTANT FEATURES..OBVIOUSLY I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING
THIS ITEM.
Customer Review: not what they said
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the review for the Sharp and a few said that the light did not stay on when the door opened. I called the Sharp company, and they say it did, lights stay on as soon as the door is opened, on and after. That was a blatant lie. The light is on when you push on only. When you close the door, it closes with a loud "bam", no matter when pushed gently or just closed, so I just leave it open til I need to use it again. That crowds the counter space. The see-through window is awkward to see through, probably design fault. I would not recommend buying this particulr model.Customer Review: Don't buy

This microwave is very small, a dinner plate barely fits inside, but this is a good thing when you have a tiny kitchen. I was also able to overlook the flimsy door and the fact that it had less power than my previous microwave, I adjusted times accordingly. However I am giving this microwave only 1 star because I have to return it after only having used it for one month due to paint chipping off the interior. I replaced my previous 9 year old microwave because it just started to chip paint and yet this one chips after only a month. Very disappointing!!!Customer Review: Great Microwave
Summary: 4 Stars
I almost returned this microwave because the defrost function sounded, from the manual, so inconvenient to use. However, defrosting turned out to be much better than implied by the manual. I'm finding it to be very well designed and well-functioning. My only complaint is about the lighting. The clock is not back-lit,making it difficult to see, and the lighting inside the oven is not bright enough. Also, there is a mica plate on the inside wall of the oven chamber which is delicate and not cleanable. I think it should be protected somehow.Customer Review: Great Little Microwave
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my Sharp R-230 800-watt microwave in June 2003, and it's still working great!! Red, black, and stainless steel are nice, but white is timeless so it's a good choice.
I primarily use this for heating things up and defrosting. Once I tried to replace it with a countertop oven but quickly put it back when I realized how much it was needed. It's quality built, just the right size, and has a control panel that's dependable and nicely laid out. All told, I feel I got a lot for my money in this little microwave.
