Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless
Customer Review: Three Month Review
Summary: 3 Stars
I waited three months to review this oven so I could get to know it first through daily use. It really heats everything up very well, fast and evenly. I haven't really used the special programmed things like the melt feature or different heat levels enough to say anything about them. I mostly reheat leftovers and coffee, and it does a great job with that.
I researched ovens thoroughly before choosing this one. I wanted an oven that had a lot of power, and this definitely has it, but I would have preferred a smaller size if I could have found one that just had basic buttons and not all the Popcorn and other programmed fluff settings. The oven itself has a rather cheap hollow feeling to it, like the sound and extra-light feel when closing the door, but the oven itself works well. The only problem I found has been intermittent, and this is that sometimes (probably 1-2 times a month) when I hit the Start button I hear an extra click and the clock blinks out, I lose the programmed heating time and the clock time. I have to reset the clock and re-enter my heat time. This, of course, has never happened to my husband, only me for some reason. A minor inconvenience, and one that had I bought this from a local store I would have taken back and exchanged.
Actually, if I hadn't already returned the first oven Amazon sent me, I would have returned this one as well for exchange. The first oven they sent me had a dent in the top surface, and the white enamel was chipped and peeling off the inside. Now that I think about it, I had to return an expensive digital camera recently because after working with it a month it appeared to be a lemon. Personally, any higher priced or bulky products I plan to purchase I think I will get from a local retailer even if they're a little more expensive. A local retailer dealing face to face with customers usually tries to have better quality control, and if I have to return something the process won't be a long drawn out ordeal through the mail. Sometimes less expensive really means cheap.
