Sharp R230

Pros: one touch buttons, express defrost

Cons: some of the one touch buttons do not get used

The Bottom Line: I owned this microwave for eight years and have never had a problem with it. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Review:
My microwave is another kitchen appliance I could not live without. I have the Sharp series 230 carousel, model R-410AK/AW. This is the only microwave I have ever owned. I purchased it eight years ago and it still works like it did the day I...

Pros: Many useful functions

Cons: none

Review: There was not a category for this exact model of a SHARP MIDSIZE MICROWAVE, so I hope that it is ok to put it here. I am sure that my experience with this particular model goes to tell that all SHARP microwaves are of good quality. My...

Pros: Easy to clean, heats evenly

Cons: none

Review: I was unable to find the Sharp Carousel model R3W97, so until they add that one to the list, I am placing it here. I hope you don't mind.

This Sharp Carousel midsize countertop microwave is sharp! I don’t even have to boil water for tea...

Pros: Quick and easy to use, good quality for a low price.

Cons: Small

The Bottom Line: Quick and easy to use, good quality for a low price

Review: I am very satisfied with my Sharp R230B microwave. There are a number of reasons why this is a very good kitchen appliance. First off and probably most important, is the price. I purchased my Sharp microwave about a year ago for $110 - a real bargain....

Pros: lots of features, lock-out, easy to use

Cons: stains can happen if not cleaned right away.

Review: This section is for the R-230 series of Sharp mid-range microwaves. My microwave is part of the series and even uses the same instruction manual. I wanted to point this out first so that there is no confusion!

There were many...

Pros: VERY easy to use. Nice design, powerful cooking without overpowering your kitchen space.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Easy to use without abuse of food. Sharp looks fine in kitchen, cooking everything from muffins to chicken. Great price, eliminates wasted time and frustration each day and night.

Review: Once upon a time, there was a standard, giant microwave. His name was Mike. Mike was a pretty good microwave, he would heat up hot cocoa, hot dogs, soups and many things from his old school days chum, Chef Boyardee. In addition to these skills, Mike...

Pros: Too many to list in 15 words. Without a doubt, it heats thoroughly.

Cons: None, unless you bought it by mistake, while preferring a larger or smaller size.

The Bottom Line: Recommended...the Sharp R230B is frequently utilized by many in my office. We use it for anything from warming coffee to heating frozen foods. However, it does much more.

Review: Naturally when the boss asks us to purchase something for the office the majority of us are going to seek out the very best item at the lowest cost.

It was requested that I go shopping for a microwave. My boss requested, "Don't get one too...

Pros: 1-800 customer service #, special defrost and safety features, nice looking

Cons: door latch

The Bottom Line: With features that I actually use, and a easy-to-clean removable turntable, I think it is great for small families, or a single person - would be great in a dorm!

Review: I have had the Model R230B for about 8 months, having gone from a much larger (older) Amana, without a turntable or timer, so I thought this would be a good model.

If you asked my husband, he would say the reason we got this one was because it...

Pros: Quick, easy, even a man can use it!!

Cons: Men may stay clear of the kitchen for fear of being asked to cook something.

Review: Can you actually live with out a microwave? These days, I doubt it. A year and a half ago, we decided that it was time to get a new microwave, considering the fact that the one we had was a relic from times gone by. Seriously, it was a...

Pros: Reliable and accurate

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Make sure you buy the model with COMPUDEFROST, which is different from express defrost.

Review: My friend had just bought the R230DW and I had to have one of my own. I scoured the internet until I found THE Sharp Carousel with CompuDefrost (very important feature that I will discuss below).

I have always been a...
