Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless
Customer Review: So it looks good...big deal
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking for something a bit more powerful then the micro I had and this thing seemed to fit the bill from the specs but....
I found the food doesn't heat up all that much differently then the one I have that's over ten years old not to mention it leaves a lot of cold spots in the food. Heats up pretty unevenly IMO.
The keypad on the front developed a tiny blister on the power/on button cover and now it's become a rip...grrrrrrr.
I'm really unsatisfied with this thing and don't recommend it at all.
It looks nice though....but so does a tree.. I should have spent the money planting one..it would have served me better.
Customer Review: Works well so far; LCD fogs up
Summary: 4 Stars
Have only had for a few days, so perhaps a review is premature? Regardless, it arrived in good working condition, and is a microwave. Is there much else to say?
On the negative side, from day one, nuke one, the LCD panel fogs up from steam from the inside of the microwave I'd assume. Now, I'm no electronics design guru, but that can't be good sign for the life of the internal components.
It replaced my old Amana, which was over 20 years old, working like a champ, but starting to spark a bit. That thing was half microwave, half Russian nuclear sub. Somehow I'm doubting this one will make the 20 year mark.
Customer Review: Planned obsolescence
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the second Sharp microwave my wife and I have owned. Both worked fine through the warranty period then lost functions. In the case of the first - the clock/timer/display no longer lit making it difficult to set up anything more complex than reheating. The second developed a problem with the door latch this morning. Sharp has built in a safety feature that won't allow the oven to work when the door isn't securely closed. I suspect they are complying with a federal regulation. Fortunately, if I really slam the door, it will work, however, I'm sure it will crap out at the least convenient moment. No more Sharp nukes for us.Customer Review: Produxt Deficiency
Summary: 1 Stars
My old sharp performed perfectly for years, but the computer module finally failed.
The R-305KS Amazon shipped me won't let me enter cook time. It says "FOOD" but the number pad won't work, and zero won't emter.
Amazon's service is excellent. I ordered a replacement unit yestedsy.
UPS will pick up the unit today, and my replacement unit should arrive next Monday
(Today is Thursday.)
Sharp's quality control is deficient. I hope the replacement works OK, but if not I'll request a refund and select a different brand from Amazon.
Customer Review: Made it just past the warranty!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these for a relative-fit/function/operation seemed fine 'til just after the warranty expired, when most of the buttons would not operate. Since it was out of warranty, she plugged along since the one-touch button operations were 'bout the only thing she used. After a couple more months, the last few remaining buttons that did work gave it up. She has a display, but none of the control buttons work.
I've had a couple of Sharps over the years, and they seemed to be quality units.
I guess Sharp has now joined the ranks of those in a race to the bottom?
