Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp 1200-Watt 1.2-Cubic-Foot Microwaves
Customer Review: Major Pluses; Irritating Minuses; Great Service
Summary: 4 Stars
The Sharp R-320HK delivers high power, a 1.2 cubic foot oven, and many features with a small footprint that will fit in many kitchens with limited counter space. The Carousel feature was a major factor in my purchase. BUT the keypad has several drawbacks: The tiny lettering is light gray on medium gray; my elderly parents could not even read the numbers, which were shadowed in addition. I ended up putting sticky labels on, after finally getting Sharp to agree it would not invalidate my warranty. An irritating problem is that in order to select one of the TEN power settings, you must keep pressing power. It takes six punches to get medium (50%) and eight punches to get defrost (30%). And since this is a 1,200 watt oven, I often need to choose a lesser setting to match with recipes created for my previous, less powerful, 700 watt oven. Then, while cooking, the display only reads "COOK," not "DEFROST" or "MEDIUM" or "30%." The door makes a very loud snap when closed. All in all, I will keep this based on my favorable history with Sharp ovens, the oven size versus the small footprint, and the carousel. I have compensated for the hard to read keypad with sticky labels, and I just grumble each time I have to choose a power setting. Sharp has GREAT service. The carousel started acting up during the warranty period, and Sharp had an authorized repair facility within five miles of me. Most small appliance dealers make me go seventy five miles from here. I carried the oven in, they had the motor, and I carried it home in time for supper. I would DEFINITELY purchase Sharp again. And purchasing through Amazon was easy, cost effective, and with quick delivery.
