What Customers Are Saying

The Sharp microwave oven offers a compact yet spacious design with easy-to-use controls and reliable cooking performance. Many customers are satisfied with its features and value, noting that it has lasted them several years, similar to their previous Sharp models. However, some users have experienced issues such as noisy operation, problems with the door lock, and the inability to silence the end-of-cycle beeping. Despite these drawbacks, the microwave is generally considered a good basic option that gets the job done, though the quality and durability may not be as high as older models.

Sharp tells me that the burned out light bulb is obsolete and can not be replaced. Obsolete because of a light bulb??!!!! Buy something else!

Microwave oven SMC1660KS favorite features

I did not realize how well a microwave oven could work until I tried this one. Over time, I got used to my previous oven losing some power. Upon using this Sharp unit the first time on the same "old" settings, my liquid food mixture boiled over. My first reaction: "Wow, this microwave really work!" My needs are limited to thawing food out. The features that I particularly appreciate are the space that accommodates my favorite large Cornell pot, the soft surface that makes the interior very easy...

Good midsize microwave.

Would Recommend

Powerful microwave. Decent size, relatively quiet. Features that you can use or override. Good fit and finish. Easy to operate. Has more features that I probably won’t use. Hope it lasts!

Solid Power, Great Space, and So Easy to Use

This microwave is fairly new as it replaced one that had troubles. From the moment I set it up, it just worked exactly the way I wanted it to. The 1100 watts of power is fantastic. Food heats up quickly and evenly every time, which is important to me. The 1.6 cubic feet of interior space is really great and fits everything I need. What I keep coming back to though is just how easy it is to use. The controls are simple and intuitive and it's pretty easy to figure everything out without the manu...

The door locks every time you use it! WHY???

Would Not Recommend

The door locks every you use it! Why? If this is a new safety feature, I'll do all I can to avoid buying any microwave with this kind of lock. I almost broke it trying to open the door. Several others did the same.

Microwave was purchased in Sept. 2025. Broke down this week (15 Feb. 2026) after it started arc-ing inside the unit when heating an egg pita and egg-and-sausage biscuit from frozen. Worked okay a few times in between, but the third time arc-ing was my final straw ...
