Ratings & Reviews for Sharp 1.5-cu ft 1100 -Watt 23.9-in Built-In Microwave ( White )

Totally Dependable

This is our second one of the same model. The first one lasted 13 years with no problems at all. We basically used it every day and I also installed it myself. That’s why we bought the same as before.

Microwave

When it worked, it worked well. It stopped working within a year after we bought it. Fortunately Sharp seems to be willing to honor the warranty, but we're still without a microwave for the time being.

Solid microwave

I have used this brand/type of microwave from Sharp for years. I have had no problem with it except sometimes the rotation mechanism has gotten stuck. I try to clean it well in case that is it, and it doesnt happen often, but it is annoying. Otherwise, buttons are clear, heats well, doesnt take up alot of space

Over Counter

We started with this series some 22 years ago, and this will be our third, and we bought it as a backup. We simply take one down, off the wall bracket, and set a new one in. Our area gets a lot of power outage issues which fried the LCD screen in the original and is hard on the electronics generally. This series is great for us since it provides lighting over our coffee/prep counter.

Right Dimensions

Perfect for the space it had to go in. Use a silicone pad if your counter or cabinet is wood.

Direct replacement

This is a identical replacement of my original microwave which was purchased in 2004. It was just time to replace it.

Do not purchase

This microwave breaks more than anything I have ever owned.

Good oven, weak display

This is the only Over-the-Counter microwave I can find. All the other models are over-the-stove or countertop units. It works well and has a reasonable suite of features. The reason I gave it 4-stars is that I have two units and the display quit on both after 15 years. One oven was used regularly, while the other oven was probably used less that 50 times. All other parts of the ovens were still going strong, but without a working display, I had to replace them. By way of comparison, my other nam...

Great unit, short life span

Love the microwave but we have replaced the original one with the identical unit 3 times (so owned 4 of them) over the 20 years in this house. Thank goodness the same model has been available because it is built in to our cabinets, and changing the size would mean redoing our cabinets 😟

Love love our over the counter Sharp microwave

So happy with our Sharp microwave. We have only owned Sharp microwaves in the last 20-30 years!!

So good, got another

This is a rating in advance based on my existing unit which has performed very well for 6 years. I purchased the new unit to have a spare since this model is no longer being manufactured.I have a custom installation and new models unlikely to fit without significant cabinet modifications.

Sharp is dependable

This was a replacement for the R-1210 model. A very dependable and well-working m/w, but there are more modernand powerful models. The previous one lasted for 15 years!

My Second One

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the earlier version of this unit for nine years before it began to be unreliable, so to make life easy, I bought this unit and popped in into place in a matter of minutes using the old mounting plate - easy peasy. This oven does everything we need and more.

Under counter microwave

The microwave fit perfectly and works and looks beautiful!
