Summary: Great Features BUT NOT FOR POPCORN!! 2008-08-01
Comment: I have used Sharp microwaves for quite some time (R-510H previous to this one)& love many of their features [minute plus, hot water button, keep warm function, audible signal elimination & the ability to set multiple cooking times so it will continue to cook at different powers, etc.) The Sharp R-320 has all of these features but I find it interesting that some reviewers say it does a GREAT job doing popcorn while others say it burns the popcorn in the center of the bag & I would like to share my experience with all of you on this point. Both my brother-in-law & myself are popcorn addicts & we both had owned this particular microwave at the same time. In essence we have tried EVERYTHING in trying to pop pocorn without burning the kernels or not burning anything in the bag but having 60 to 70 unpopped kernals left in the bag, because that is what it would take NOT to burn any kernals & obviously that is quite a waste. I even tried to "warm up" the bag at 30 seconds at 30% power & then try it- it helped somewhat but still did not resolve the bigger problem! Anyway this is what we discovered: if you pop a bag of popcorn with high butter content [or high fat content] it did a fairly good job of popping the entire bag without burning anything. HOWEVER if you like light butter, 50% less fat, or any kind of low fat popcorn, FORGET IT, as it will not come out as desired. We did not always just use the popcorn sensor button either as we tried putting in many different times manually but to no avail. This microwave really does have alot of terrific features but be informed about the popcorn situation if that is important to you. In any case we both returned our respective microwaves & both bought the Sharp R-402J & we are in popcorn heaven!!! Low fat or not it does a fantastic job with the popcorn at around 1:30 at high-not one burnt kernal!! (and not too many unpopped ones either!!) You do lose some features [hot water & keep warm] but we are very happy with this product. Also the display is much easier to see than the R-320 for those of you who are interested. I believe Amazon had the best price on this model last time I checked but that has been a while so check around in any case. Take care everyone!

Summary: I love this microwave! 2008-07-22
Comment: I love using this microwave. It has several time-saving features and food comes out beautifully cooked. The only negative is that the door is light weight and sounds a bit tinny when you close it. For the price, this is a great product.

Summary: Needs improvement 2008-04-28
Comment: This is the second Sharp 1500 Watt Microwave we have owned. We purchased the second soon after first one developed problems after 8 years of satisfactory use. The new one seemed to be basically the same except for the extremely loud noise generated when the door is either closed or opened. I have hearing aids and do not appreciate the noise which sounds like a large tin box being dropped. Our earlier unit opened by pulling on the door. To open this one you have to push on a large lever which pops the door open. The mechanism is so stiff that the act of opening the door usually slides the oven across the counter into the backsplash. This is not an expensive unit but I think they could have done a little better on sound control.

Summary: Great microwave, but wrong dimensions on website 2008-03-13
Comment: This is a great microwave, I love all the features. My only problem is that the dimensions listed on the website have the height as: 17-1/4 and depth as: 12-1/4. Actually those numbers are reversed. This could have been a problem with our counter tops, but I like the microwave so well, that I got over the fact that it was deeper than I wanted. I've informed Amazon that they have misinformation on their website, but it hasn't been fixed as of the writing of this review.
