Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-230KW 800-Watt 4/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Microwave, White
Customer Review: Does it's job well!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am the sole user of the microwave, use it several times a day, and mostly for heating....rarely for cooking. I find that this microwave heats evenly & quickly, is a perfect size for my needs (not overbearing & bulky, not too tiny for larger meals/dishes), and has been working well for two years.
All of the buttons still work, the glass dish is still whole & rotating perfectly, the lever to open the door still functions smoothly, and it remains quiver free during operation....it does not shake or make any weird noises while it's heating my food.
The microwave could be improved if the interior light came on when you opened the door...the inside is lit only while the device is heating. Other than that, I have no complaints!
Customer Review: Serves its purpose but a little small inside
Summary: 4 Stars
I think it is a pretty good microwave but my only complaint is that even the little models keep getting bigger on the outside but not proportionately larger on the inside. Since we used ours mostly for defrosting, and heating up, all we need is something dependable. We read in consumer reports that the knobs and switches were just average so that wasnt a show stopper for us. That's because it works well and doesn't break down for a long time. In 6 years, we've owned two small Sharp "carousel" microwaves, each of which lasted for three years with no problems. Compared to our other home appliances, this is pretty impressive. Granted, their are few working parts and all microwaves are more reliable then things like toasters and blenders.Customer Review: "More than adequate for the price"
Summary: 4 Stars
I was downsizing when I purchased this microwave--both in size and in heat content. My biggest satisfaction with this product was that it fit the small space that had been created in my kitchen cabinet design for a microwave. My second goal had been to have an all-white product, which is hard to find in today's black or stainless appliance kitchens. I have no complaints about the heating quality or the control choices. My only reminder of a lesser-product is that the door makes the sound a metal door will make, when it is opened or closed. But this product is more than adequate for the price.Customer Review: Great Microwave
Summary: 4 Stars
I almost returned this microwave because the defrost function sounded, from the manual, so inconvenient to use. However, defrosting turned out to be much better than implied by the manual. I'm finding it to be very well designed and well-functioning. My only complaint is about the lighting. The clock is not back-lit,making it difficult to see, and the lighting inside the oven is not bright enough. Also, there is a mica plate on the inside wall of the oven chamber which is delicate and not cleanable. I think it should be protected somehow.Customer Review: Serves its purpose well
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this microwave as an addition to my dorm room. I would have liked a high-powered microwave, but restraints on space and money stopped me. For the price and for the size, this microwave works rather well. There are some extra functions, but I just use the regular microwaving. The only thing that I do not like about the microwave is that its internal rotating dish is not very stable, and is prone to shifting off its base with even a slightly unbalanced load. Even so, it was a worthwhile purchase.
