This Sharp Microwave is Great for a Family. Its Large size is a big plus. Easy operation and nice finish and very powerful. We had an LG oven before and it is a JUNK ! It lasted only 2 years. Our "old" Microwave was a Sharp also and its still working after 20+ years! My rating A+++

I agree with the other people who say Sharp has lost its sense of what "Quality Control" means. I bought a Sharp R-520KS to make my kitchen complete since I was remodeling. I thought a counter-top unit would be a better choice than a built-in model. I also have an early 90's Sharp Carousel that still works without flaw. So when I unpacked this unit I was pretty jazzed. Unfortunately it wouldn't start. Although the door seemed to close all the way, it was not latching properly and there was nothing I could do but return the unit or call for service. I decided to return the unit and call my kitchen contractor back so he could build an enclosure for a more expensive GE range-top unit. I'm also very disappointed in Consumer Reports, they gave good ratings to this model. Something's just not right these days. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like all the sub $300 microwaves have QC issues.

We have had a Sharp microwave oven like this, for almost 10 years. It still works but it needs a little persuasion to get it to run. We decided to get a new one for Christmas. The oven works great! BUT, after a week we noticed that the inside finish is cracking and peeling. We had to go back to using the old one. Amazon will replace the oven or refund the purchase price, and even pay for the return shipping. Very good customer service from Amazon.
