Pros: Beautiful piece of machinery; quiet; efficient; tone, buzz, or silence options; cute chef.

Cons: Expensive

Review: This is a wonderful microwave and I love having it. The recipe section on it is fun and it's very easy to use. The choice of having a tone played or a buzz or even silence is nice. The chef on the screen is adorable. This microwave is a great toy for ...

Pros: Appearance

Cons: Catching fire Defrosting items that are not on the menu

Review: I purchased a DACOR DMT2420 in May 2003. It worked fine for a couple years, but yesterday, the waveguide cover inside the unit caught fire! The waveguide cover is a silvered piece of cardboard (often made of mica in other microwaves). Now I have to ...

Pros: Great popcorn maker...while it works.

Cons: Over priced, and unreliable. Shame on Sharp and DACOR!

The Bottom Line: I will never buy another Sharp/Dacor microwave.

Review: I bought the DMT2420 from an online retailer in July of 2005 to complement our other stainless appliances in the kitchen. I liked the large touch screen even though it put out way too much light at night and there was no way to dim it. It worked fine ...

Pros: The stainless look is nice, good size and has some nice features and settings.

Cons: Touch pad goes out within two years and is expensive to repair.

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this model because the touch pad is unreliable and within two years it will cost more to repair than the unit cost.

Review: This was an expensive microwave oven -- over $400. Shortly after the warranty one year period ended, the touch pad started to flicker. However, the oven continued to work. At about two years, the touch pad went completely dark and nothing would work. ...

Pros: High end look, touch screen has lots of neat features.

Cons: Completely unreliable. If you have to have one, get an extended warranty with in-home service.

Review: I've owned two of these microwaves. The first I put in a new house that I sold about 8 months later. The new owners reported the touch screen went out shortly after they moved in. Having enjoyed the microwave for the time I had it, I bought another ...

Pros: Microwave makes things hot

Cons: Very poor reliability. Dacor does not stand behind product. Avoid at all costs!

Review: Dacor DMT2420 microwave is a product that should be avoided. As others have reported the touchpad fails after about one year of use, typically just after the product is out of warranty. As it is a built-in you are stuck either replacing the entire wall ...

Pros: Looks nice in kitchen. Fun graphics on display screeen.

Cons: Didn't last long for such an expensive product. Needed costly repairs.

Review: I have owned this model (DMT2420) for four years. After one year the key pad broke and had to be replaced. Now it just erupted in sparks and burned up inside. I had to pay a repairman for a service call to be told it can't be fixed. I am sure I can find ...

Pros: Looks pretty

Cons: Unreliable and prone to early failure.

Review: We bought a Dacor DMT2420 microwave after the appliance store told us this was a quality reliable product. He lied! The rotating tray does not seat properly in its spindle. Rust appears inside the units along the stainless steal seams within twelve ...

Pros: Microwave looks Great, Gets your Food hot, Sensor works fine, nice buttons , Cool Touchscreen.

Cons: Brand New barely used the touchscreen burnt out a few months after the warranty expired.

Review: The Dacor DMT2420 is a great looking machine, Stainless steel, nice buttons and a really cool touchscreen . The microwave worked great the few times ( 15 - 20 times ) that I used it. Unfortunately the last time I used it, it was out of warranty and ...

Pros: Maybe it looks nice???

Cons: Poor quality; expensive replacement and/or repair;poor reliability.

Review: We purchased a Dacor microwave to match our Dacor stovetop/oven. About 6 mos later the touch pad stopped working; the pad was replaced and 1 year later the touch pad again stopped working. It is no longer under warranty and the cost for the part is $348 ...
