Ratings & Reviews for Sharp 24-in 1.2-cu ft 950 -Watt Microwave Drawer ( Stainless Steel )
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the drawer-style design for its space-saving, ergonomic benefits and modern aesthetics, with many highlighting waist-level convenience and easy maintenance. However, a substantial portion report serious reliability concerns, including sparking, smoke, and fire hazards often occurring within 2-6 years, linked to magnetron or capacitor failures and referenced in a known class-action settlement. Several express frustration over post-warranty repair costs approaching new unit prices. Despite these significant safety issues, many customers still value the design innovation, though the reliability problems have eroded trust in the brand.

Would RecommendIt's very sleek. We have had this same brand since about 2013 with constant use. Just bought it again to replace our old one that went out. It's a microwave drawer and very spiffy looking. Works great.

Would Not Recommendwe have sharp in drawer microwave oven in 1 of our houses for about 6 years and has been perfect..... but apparently a problem with recent model.... sharp not covering apparent problems.... no thanks...!!!
Broke right away
Would Not RecommendLoved the space saving a look but the soft open and close open broke first but still work just had to pull harder to open and close. Then the smell of burning started, then sparks and then small fire in chamber. We stopped using it and got a counter top. We are redoing the kitchen and want to fell the whole with another drawer microwave but don't know where to trust.

FIRE HAZARD
Would Not RecommendCase Number 9394018. Unit came with the brand new house from the builder. Within a year, the unit almost burn the house down. After researching online.. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE! Contacted Sharp several time and keep being redirected every time. Sharp refuses to do anything about it. I will not buy anything from SHARP again, and will advise folks to take caution when purchasing any Sharp product.

Fire Hazard Don’t Buy
Would Not RecommendI purchased this and it worked for many years. It started sparking and burned a corner of the inside drawer. There is a class action lawsuit, but Sharp denied my claim because it’s been over 5 years. This should be a re-call. Ni I’m stuck because no other unit fits this space which was built around Sharp dimensions.

Lasted only 3 years - TWICE!
Would Not RecommendThe first one's magnetron went out. The second one started acting up one evening. The next morning, it was just dead. DO NOT BUY THIS OVEN!

LOVE IT!
Would RecommendThis is my second Sharp microwave drawer. My first one lasted a good 7 years. I absolutely loved it...never gave me any problems until the day it just wouldn’t heat up. My husband said it was the main component that went out and it would be more cost-effective to buy a new one. Here’s hoping this one lasts as long or longer!
Beware- Fire Hazard
Would Not RecommendIt’s 1.5 years old and only gets moderate use of a few times a week. It creates a burnt plastic smell and I only microwave in glass Pyrex containers

Avoid it
Would Not RecommendI had a near fire too. It started sparking . I don’t get the people that say it is easy to clean... It’s nearly impossible to get your hand in many of the areas to thoroughly clean it.

5 years old and I still love it
Would RecommendI took a chance on the Drawer style microwave. I read the reviews and as a whole I thought they were negative. But I love mine. We use it daily. Cleaning the top of it inside is a challenge. Cover your food it's easier.
FIRE HAZARD SHOULD BE RECALLED
Would Not RecommendSame issue as all of the others. Starts buzzing and smoking. You'll be lucky if it doesn't burn your house down. No longer works at all. Sharp refuses to do anything about it since it's out of warranty. Called 5 times. Sharp claim number 9226081. Filed a complaint with the BBB. This is a known issue, do yourself a favor and search this model number on the internet, you will see the amount of complaints with the same issue. DO NOT BUY THIS USELESS GARBAGE. SHARP WILL NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS...

Drawer microwave
Would RecommendLove the fact that it opens at a touch of a finger and I don’t have to reach up over a stove. My grandmother who is 84 loves this instead pulling on handle to open a microwave or reach over. This microwave drawer Is so ideal for easy accessibility.
