NOTE THIS MICROWAVE IS 23 1/8 INCHES WIDE
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Sounds like a good microwave based on Amazon reviews, but beware the manufactures website lists the width as 23 1/8 not the 20.5 listed on Amazon, so it wouldn’t have fit in cabinet space.
Bad product; bad service
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Had OK Sharp MWs for years, but this was a lemon. Burned popcorn. Got noisy, then failed after 6 months. Local “Factory” service (Eugene, OR) was a hole-in-the-wall, looked like a Droid repair shop out of Star Wars. Decades-old MWs and parts stacked up to the ceiling. I had to call daily for 3 weeks to get it back. Then used sparingly for a month … got noisy and failed again.
Got an LG. We’ll see. My experience with this Sharp product is consistent with recent experience a wide variety of consumer products made in China: even when I get a good product, if I buy the same product again, then it’s different (e.g., garden nozzles, exercise shoes). So my guess is that there really aren’t “Sharp” MWs, just a variety of look-alike MWs made in any number of Chinese sweat shops with a Sharp label. No way to tell if your product came from the right sweat shop on the right day.
If service matters to you, then I’d go to the Sharp site, ID your local “Factory” service provider, and check it out before you buy. BTW, disregard my Cincinnati address. I’m in Eugene, OR now. But couldn’t change profile.
MY THIRD SHARP MICROWAVE
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is the third Sharp microwave I have owned. The other two lasted about ten years each. That should speak for itself.
Great buy
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Did lots of research and found great reviews for this unit. Totally agree with those reviews, it is very easy to use, very spacious. No complaints!
Do not buy Sharp Carousel Microwave!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
The reason you see everything from 5 star to 1 star reviews for this microwave is that it all depends if the product is working or not. If this microwave works it is functional and relatively easy to use, but if it konks out — you have a useless appliance. Sharp knows it is not worth repairing and in all likelihood another microwave will be purchased. Not even 9 months after buying this microwave it made a loud sound and no longer would heat. Personally I want something reliable and am tossing this microwave and moving onto another brand. I am having surgery in a month and will need a microwave and am at least thankful it did not stop functioning just after my surgery. But in all honesty it is not worth playing Russian roulette when you have other microwaves to choose from. Reliability is important to me. There are too many of these types of complaints about this Sharp microwave on Amazon. Why take a chance? Stay away from Sharp microwaves.
I love Amazon.com! I love my microwave!

I love this microwave! You are not going to find better price for such great quality!!
Just what I wanted
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my bedroom. It is half the size of the one I have out in the kitchen for the rest of the house to use which is all so a SHARP I have no complaints.
Think hard about stainless steel!!
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
As one of the other reviewers stated, it does look good…when it comes out of the box!
I do NOT have oily skin. Just the opposite. I’m a guitar player. Where other guitarists measure guitar string life in days or weeks, I measure it in months because my body chemistry is kind to metal strings. However, every time I touched the panel of the microwave to open the door or touched the door itself to close it, I’d leave a mark. Also, I’m NOT a neat-freak. These stains really jump out.
I found I was constantly wiping them off and not always successfully. I’d gotten so tired of it that after a few days I returned it to the store where I’d purchased it locally, took the hit from the restocking fee, and bought something white. Actually, white, black, red, wood grain, it wouldn’t matter as long as it wasn’t so-called “stainless”!
broke after 14 months….
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Wow, I’ve had an old sharp microwave made before I was born that lasted 18+ years and this thing only lasted about a lil over a year (14 months). It looks to be good quality but it isn’t. It just randomly died. I would highly not recommend this microwave to anyone and Sharp has lost my business with them. Looks great but will not last long and that is why it’s priced cheaply in most places. I think I’m gonna go buy an Amana brand microwave. Damn you Sharp!
Pleased with Sharp Microwave Oven

My Sharp Microwave Oven R-305KS is the best microwave oven I’ve ever owned. It’s a good buy.
Great product

I am very happy with this purchase. It’s sleek, easy to clean and it works great.
Great microwave!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This was exactly what I wanted and it fit perfectly in the space I have. It cooks well (& evenly) & is fairly quiet. A great deal for the price!
What a SHARP microwave!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I found the microwave to be compact, light for its just right size for two seniors, and key pad very functional and easy to use and understand. Two sharp seniors confidently recommend SHARP microwave!
It broke in a month
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Bought this a month ago, and in one month, it just broke with no clear reason. I tried to heat up some butter with the microwave. It started to run with unusually loud sound, but did not heat up at all. So the light was on, the turning plate was good, only that the sound was louder than it normally was, and it did not function as something that should produce heat. We did not move it, or touch anything. It just broke.
Returned it to Amazon.com, luckily it was still returnable, and got the refund soon after we sent it back. The warranty provided by Sharp only goes as far as free repair for one year (we had to either ship it or bring it in person to the nearest repairer, which is not the most convenient), and does not allow returning. So I am glad that it broke in time for returning to Amazon. Buying from Amazon is good. Given the mixed reviews here and my own experience, I think Sharp needs to work on their quality control. Also, the control panel is not the most intuitive for users.
It’s a good microwave.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
What else can you say about a microwave? The buttons you need to press to turn it on make sense, it gets food warm pretty quickly, it’s easy to clean when things get messy and it’s quiet for a microwave.
I like that I can get my relatively oversized dinner plates into it and it’s tall enough for my tallest drink glasses.
Sharp replacement a winner
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
After five years with my old GE microwave, I was reluctent to put it in the recyle bin, but after a year of burning food in the center of the machine, it was time. My new Sharp arrived and in a short time I was zapping my frozen dinners, warming my left over coffee, and softening the butter for my Christmas cookies. It was easy to use and the results are great. My popcorn comes out perfect with fewer “old maids” than than usual. I love it. Glad I made the swap.
Great Microwave !!!

This microwave was purchased as a replacement microwave that lasted 10 years. I just received it and it works fine.
SHARP MICROWAVE R-305KS
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Good Microwave. LOTS of power. Only complaint is that stainless steel is harder to keep clean looking than other surfaces.
Super Buy!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Prior to this purchase, I had a Sharp Microwave Oven and was very pleased with it, however; lightening struck and knocked it out and I knew I wanted another Sharp microwave. I like the looks, the way it cooks, and having a turn table so that the food is evenly heated.
Great Product!

Great Product! Bought product based on favorable reviews. I have had it for about two months now and so far its working just fine!
