SHARP Stainless Steel Carousel 1.8 Cu. Ft. 1100W Countertop Microwave Oven (ISTA 6 Packaging), Cubic Foot, 1100 Watts

The previous Sharp Carousel 1100w model was purchased in 2005 and worked without flaw for over 16 years. I liked the power of the older model, so it was a no brainer to replace it with a like model. I will update this review as time passes.As noted in other comments removing the protective plastic film over the stainless was a pain in the @$$!

It’s a microwave. I use it to microwave stuff. I open the door, put stuff in it and hit a couple of buttons. It works and then I pull my stuff out all steamy hot. It was inexpensive, it arrived quickly and it’s easy to use. What more can you ask?

Good size, quality, brand.

We had the earlier model and were happy with it. The new model is operationally the same, however the panel layout requires getting used to. It is a non-intuitive layout. The only major flaw in the design has remained unchanged for several years. The light in the oven - if it goes out - can only be replaced by taking the oven apart. This is something that the average user should not even attempt to do. The light being incandescent rather than LED has a limited lifespan. The light on our earlier model went out after a few years and we just lived with it. This issue should have been addressed by the manufacturer. .

1st this is my 2nd Sharp Microwave Oven,Model# SMC1842CS/1843CM. My 1st one lasted nearly 1½ years worked flawlessly loved the oven. But they say all good things come to a end & mine got hit by lightning.I bought this 2nd unit keeping the same make & model just has wonderful features and is rock steady of a unit also quiet running.My order was FASTT from ordering it I had it in hand within just 13 hours as a Amazon Prime Member in Miami, FL. .. ! Packaged outstanding also. plugged it it all has been fine now for 3 months+.Sorry it took me so long for this write-up, but had a time in the hospital.. Haa NOT RELATED... ;-)

For the price, we are very disappointed that this microwave didn't last longer before overheating and completely failing to work. After reading reviews that clearly show there is a malfunction with this design, it's very unfortunate that Sharp did not issue a recall for this model. We have contacted Sharp and have not had a response, and assume we will be told there isn't anything they can do given it's out of warranty. We would suggest other buyers steer clear of this model that is potentially a fire hazard in your home.

This is probably my 3rd Sharp Carousel in 30 years. They work great and seem to hold up well even being used almost 7 days a week.

1100 power microwave. Very nice . Quiet. Great one touch defrosting. Options for meat poultry and seafood. This comes in very handy.The only drawback is the front control panel doesn’t light up so you can easily read it. But most microwaves don’t either. It could light up only when touched.
