Sharp R-55TS Warm & Toasty Toaster/Microwave Review

Sharp R-55TS Warm and Toasty Toaster/Microwave

In the aesthetics department this item is top notch for anyone going for a stainless steel look in their kitchen. Brushed steel on front, with a black glass window - black metal on sides. Surprisingly, this is more important that I would have thought.
It microwaves well, though at 650W. The controls are convienent, and fast - with a single "one minute" button to save time on reheats. Seems to cook very evenly.
A nice function is the ability to turn the sound off completely - ridding your home of one source of beeps and chirps.
The oven works well for cooking. The toaster works surprisingly well, but it takes close to 3 minutes for a slice of bread. In the toast department, I'd recommend a stand-alone drop-in style toaster.
You can combine cooking and microwaving in steps (thaw then cook, not both at once).

Sharp 1200-Watt 1.2-Cubic-Foot Microwaves Review

I'm not one to write reviews of appliances, but I have been very pleased with this microwave. When it's time to upgrade from a $39 dorm microwave, this is the one for you. Lots of bang for your buck.
I am particularly impressed with the sensor feature of the Sharp. When making popcorn, for example, you touch the "popcorn" button once and the overn turns on automatically. When the inside of the microwave reaches a certain temperature the sensor shuts off the oven automatically for ZERO unpopped and ZERO burned kernels. I'm considering calling the Guiness Book of World Records on that one.
Frozen meals cook evenly. I also like that the turntable is flush with the bottom of the oven.
Best Buy was recently selling it for $99 (I purchased it for $89), so $79 is an excellent price. Buy it and be happy.

With a 1-1/5-cubic-foot capacity and 1200 watts of power, this mid-sized microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation. Its Smart & Easy sensor takes the guesswork out of cooking by automatically setting cooking times and power levels for 10 popular foods.

Its defrost center features four defrost options that quickly defrost meats and poultry by weight with a specific program for each category assuring excellent, even results. Minute Plus sets the oven at "high" with a single touch, while a popcorn sensor pops microwave popcorn automatically, regardless of package size or brand. The oven's easy-to-use seven-digit, two-color lighted display includes word prompts, and its easy-to-set time-of-day clock offers added convenience.

Because I have an existing trim kit, getting a particular size is extremely important to me. Unfortunately, Sharp keeps changing its models. Fortunately, this one not only fits perfectly, but it has more features than the last one. And, it is less expensive. And, it works faster. The good: fast, attractive, lots of features, big. The bad: nothing really, except my wife wishes the buttons were slightly larger. I think microwaves are one of the few products that get better and cost less with time. Highly recommended.

With a 1-2/5-cubic-foot capacity and 1100 watts of power, this family-size microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation. The unit's 14-1/8-inch-diameter turntable ensures even heating, while 16 automatic settings take the guesswork out of reheating, cooking, and defrosting by automatically setting cooking times and power levels. Four defrost options quickly defrost meats and poultry by weight; six cook options come in handy for baked potatoes, fresh and frozen vegetables, rice, ground meat, and frozen entrees; and six reheat options make it especially simple to reheat items like beverages, pizza, rolls, and muffins. In addition, short-cut options make it convenient to melt, soften, and warm popular foods such as butter and cream cheese. The microwave oven also provides Minute Plus, which sets the oven at "high" with a single touch, and a popcorn key that pops microwave popcorn automatically, regardless of package size or brand. Other highlights include touch-pad controls, a five-digit two-color lighted display, and a handy kitchen timer. The microwave oven measures 17-1/2 by 21-5/8 by 12-3/8 inches.

Sharp 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 900-Watt Convection Microwaves Review

Wow, after reading the other reviews I had to throw my 2 cents in. It's big all right but that's the only point I have in agreement with the other reviewers.
I've had the R-930CS for almost a year. It really lives up to what Sharp says it does. It bakes, broils and microwaves -- all well! I use it to cook meat and it's done a great job on steaks, fresh sausage and chicken.
It also has a nifty feature called Sensor Cook, which is intelligent microwaving. It works for a number of foods including vegetables, frozen entrees and hot dogs. I use it for hot dogs, actually frozen hot dogs. I had no idea how long to cook a frozen hot dog. Not a problem. Slap a couple on a plate, hit Sensor Cook - Hot Dog and the oven does the rest. They come out perfect.
Would I get this oven if I just needed a microwave? Of course not. ( I'm not even sure what you use a 1.5 cubic foot microwave for.) But if you need a microwave and a regular oven all in a countertop package, the R-930CS is great.
The cleanup of this oven is easy too. None of the horror stories from the early generation microwave convection combos. This one is stainless steel on the inside. No protruding parts. It (so far) cleans up with a damp paper towels or sometimes with a bit of dishwashing liquid.

Sharp R-308KK 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Black Review

Sharp R-308KK 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Black
Average Reviews:

This Sharp microwave oven, with 1 c.f. of total capacity and about 0.8 c.f. of usable capacity (according to Consumer Reports), is a great performer. It heats food quickly and for the most part evenly. The turntable turns automatically and alternates between clockwise and counterclosewise turns. There's a lightbulb inside that lights up when you open the door or when the microwave is operating. The heat output is rated at 1100W, which is usually the power assumed by most microwave heating instructions on food packages - a great convenience.
There was a story I read a few years ago that looked into microwave oven safety, and Sharp came out ahead. So I feel confidend that this microwave oven, assembled in Thailand, should also be one of the safest. Of course, you should keep at least 7 inches away from the oven when its magnetron is generating microwaves, just to be totally safe. One guy complained about the "loud" door; yes, but it's designed to be safe. I'd never trade safety for a flimsy, "easier" door.
The LCD display is always backlit (in green), which is really nice, esp. if you, like I, use the LCD as a clock and also as a timer. (Clock is am-pm-agnostic 12-hour type, while timer has a maximum countdown of 99:99.) The Minute Plus feature is extremely convenience. The keys beep when you press them, but the beep and that "cooking finished" long beep can be turned off easily. You can also invoke a "safe" mode so that the buttons don't work, kind of like a "hold" feature on audio players -- great for families with kids who like to fiddle with appliances.
My only complaint is, like all Asian electronics companies, Sharp pays little attention to the user-friendliness of the unit. The keys all look the same and are about the same size. While they are responsive, sometimes you need to hunt for the keys you want to press. The End and Start keys, in particular, should have been made to stand out. Also, unlike many other Sharp models, this one requires you to press the Power button multiple times instead of just pressing a numeric button to specify a power level. Finally, the reheat/cook button works ridiculously complicated. All these anti-user features detract a full star from an otherwise really excellent appliance.
The all-black finish looks great and the oven fits well under most kitchen cabinets. I do recommend this oven despite the ergonomic issues mentioned above. For me, Sharp microwave ovens' reliability reputation, safety record and Minute Plus convenience are reason enough to recommend them highly.

Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless Review

Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless
Average Reviews:

I conducted a good amount of research before deciding on this Sharp microwave oven. I wanted my new oven to meet the following important criteria and have the following features:
* a carousel and be able to fit a dinner plate
* at least 1000 watts of heating power (this has 1100) to heat food fast
* classy looking, compact stainless steel design
* name brand reputation for reliability
* around 100 dollars or so, give or take a little
I've had good luck with the Sharp brand. My previous microwave oven was also a Sharp unit, I had purchased way back in 1995. It was a full-size unit though, and I wanted to get something smaller, in stainless steel, since we recently re-did our kitchen in stainless steel. 'Luck would have it' that our old 1995 Sharp unit broke down shortly after we re-did our kitchen in late 2005, so I jumped at the opportunity to get another Sharp. The new R-305KS works flawlessly, and cooks even faster and more even than my older, larger unit! I must have reaped the benefits of improved microwave technology over the last 10 years or so that i've owned the older Sharp oven. All in all, a SUPERB VALUE and a SOLID PERFORMER!

Four defrost options quickly defrost meats and poultry by weight; six cook options cook baked potatoes, vegetables, rice, ground meat, and frozen entrees; and six reheat options make it especially simple to heat frequently served foods including beverages, pizza, rolls, and muffins. In addition, Short Cuts makes melting, softening, and warming a snap; Minute Plus sets the oven at "high" with a single touch; and a popcorn sensor pops microwave popcorn automatically, regardless of package size or brand. Other useful features include auto-touch controls, an easy-to-read four-digit two-color lighted display, an interior light, and a handy time-of-day clock.

I bought this Microwave to replace an older Sharp model. I have had very good luck with Sharp Microwaves and this new one is no different. It's a very good compact microwave for one or two people. It was very easy to set the clock and use right out of the box. I love the look of it. The buttons are very simple to use. I don't use my microwave for cooking that much, I use it mostly for reheating and defrosting. I am a single mom with one teenage son who never eats at the same time as I do so it comes in very handy. I do sometimes cook bacon and pototoes in it. It makes great baked potatoes. It you have more than two people in your family you might want to get a larger oven. I have been using Sharp microwaves for many, many years, they make a great product. I highly recommend this model and all Sharps for that matter.
