this machine is nearly 1.5 to 2 minutes faster in cooking things than was our old, not so old, microwave (we have it in the staff kitchen of our nonprofit social services agency).

one of things that i like best about this oven is that i can make open face tuna melts using the grill function.

general functionality: the volume of the unit is good enough for most things you'd expect to be putting in a microwave...we've cooked small pizzas and batches of cookies in here already.

i'm cooking things i ordinarily wouldn't, because i'd have to heat up the oven.

that's a plus as i always like to be at least 6 feet from a microwave when it's running.it would be nice if the other buttons would do this; however i use the beverage button for other things in

i love the way it has a built in sensor so that i don't have to check on the food when i am trying to cook other things on the grill or wherever.

takes the guess work out of how long to cook most things.
from By kimrst, reviews.homedepot.com

Sharp R-320HQ 1200 Watts

$137.00 Est. at Amazon

from By Bongster, reviews.homedepot.com
the higher wattage takes a little getting use to and for most things cooked in a microwave the recommended cooking time seems to be based on an oven rated at 1000 watts.
from www.amazon.com
i havent tried all the pre-programmed features yet, but it is very easy to use and seems to do a good job of heating things up.
from www.amazon.com
this is a wonderful microwave oven that cooks things perfectly everytime (so far).
from www.amazon.com
i am having trouble adjusting to more intense heat...keep lowering the power for heating things and sometimes they still heat too quickly.

those two things, however, do not prevent me from giving it a 5-star rating.
from www.amazon.com
the install was easy for one person, it would have been easier for two people, but if you are handy and able to put other things together, this should be no problem.

from www.abt.com
my requirements from a microwave are not complicated - just that it makes frozen food edible and can be used to reheat things.
from www.abt.com
i like it overall.....have to heat things a little longer than in my previous 800 watt oven describe yourself: casual cook pros: easy to clean, quiet, simple display cons: prefer more power
from www.abt.com
it is the perfect size and though it's a little low on power, that just means you cook things a little longer, which also seems to mean more even cooking.

it heats things much faster than my panasonic did.
from www.abt.com
we've had a couple of things boil over and you have to be careful defrosting some things, but we are still getting used to it so maybe it won't be a problem for long.
from www.abt.com
[...]at any rate, the microwave is fine, although the sensor seems to take a long time and then overheats things.
from www.abt.com
some of the little things were missing in my last microwave, but this one has them: kitchen timer, adjustable "beep" volume, quits beeping when you open the door, optional reminder beep, add 30 sec.

the two things i didn't like about this unit is the door is pretty loud when you close it.
from www.amazon.com
in general, it heats things quickly and well and we love the look.
from www.amazon.com
cook maybe a minute more on alot of things, but for the size it is perfect, looks great as well...
from www.amazon.com
i would recommend this little guy to everyone, if what you need is an appliance that looks good, is small, and you only use it to heat up things.

from "The editor", www.abt.com
i've used the panasonic for many things, and the only adjustment i've had to make is that it cooks faster.
from www.amazon.com
the only things i'm concerned about are the tendency of the turntable to slide out of place while it's going around, and that the buttons are a little difficult to push.
from www.amazon.com
to cook things at less than high, you need to push the power level repeatedly, going from 10 down to 1.
from www.amazon.com
i would have prefered more info on the decal inside the oven so i didn't have to wait while things scroll by 6 letters at a time.
from www.amazon.com
i'm beginning to think that things like this should come with a mandatory 3 to 5 year warranty (at least) to force manufacturers to build less disposable products -- or at least that it should come

Sharp R-305KS Stainless Steel

from www.amazon.com
the buttons you need to press to turn it on make sense, it gets food warm pretty quickly, it's easy to clean when things get messy and it's quiet for a microwave.
from www.amazon.com
as a single person, i tested it on "real life" things:
from www.amazon.com
it is not too powerful (yes this is possible) so most things that say cook for 1 min actually do take 1 minute.
from www.amazon.com
a huge item like that is kind of a pain in the butt to send back, but things happen.
from www.amazon.com
don't buy things like this from amazon, buy from a local dept.
