 Love It!! March 9, 2006

I bought this Microwave to replace an older Sharp model. I have had very good luck with Sharp Microwaves and this new one is no different. It's a very good compact microwave for one or two people. It was very easy to set the clock and use right out of the box. I love the look of it. The buttons are very simple to use. I don't use my microwave for cooking that much, I use it mostly for reheating and defrosting. I am a single mom with one teenage son who never eats at the same time as I do so it comes in very handy. I do sometimes cook bacon and pototoes in it. It makes great baked potatoes. It you have more than two people in your family you might want to get a larger oven. I have been using Sharp microwaves for many, many years, they make a great product. I highly recommend this model and all Sharps for that matter.
Luxury features I never expected for this price, never March 17, 2007

Power-level settings of 100%, 90%, and right on down--I am amazed. I think the very-low settings are for drying food; can you imagine being able to do dried foods yourself? Then quick-buttons for nearly everything. It'll take a while to learn all the features but even right out of the box it was just so easy to use! All I wanted was a small simple one that wouldn't take much counterspace and never dreamed it would have all this, not for this price. My old microwave had just given out--after 23 years of daily use--and the one thing I wanted was defrost, that's all. I'd always used the microwave, on defrost, to simmer foods that needs long, slow cooking--with no pot-watching and no chance of burning. You ought to try that! Much better than on the stove--and this does have defrost, of course of course--but so many other settings that will be even better for slow cooking. Then you can choose to defrost meat according to how much the chunk of meat actually weighs, of all things--there's a setting for that too! Never heard of that! One more feature I especially wanted was for the light to go out when the door is open and here's why: The way to make a microwave last simply forever is to leave the door open a while after each use and let it dry out. Then it will last for decades--like my old one did. But wouldn't want to leave it open if the light stayed on, no; so another highly desirable feature right there. I just don't think a better microwave could be bought at any price, period--many more features aren't even listed here. The more expensive ones seem to only have features I'd never use anyway--a built-in toaster or something--so why pay for that! No, if it's microwaving you're after, this is just IT. Also, if you're wondering about size, it says compact but holds a regular-size Pyrex loaf pan with room to spare as it turns, or a big mixing bowl with a pretty big hen or whatever in it, so that's plenty big for most people. It's the design--there are scooped-out places in the inner walls that allow space for the rim of a bowl or a pan to turn. That's why it holds so much. And hey, it looks nice too--and is light enough that I can easily move it to clean under it yet it does feel as heavy and solid as can be. My hat is certainly off to the designers! (And as always, to Amazon! It got here in no time with Amazon's free SuperSaver shipping--days before I was told it would arrive!) I don't have a single negative to say after a week's use and every day am still discovering yet more wonderful things about it that save a busy person's time and energy--as well as money. Thought I'd let other shoppers know!
Excellent Microwave for use in tight spaces. July 24, 2007

The sharp r-230kk is an excellent microwave oven.I bought one for myself and another as a gift.Both were delivered double boxed to protect the unit.The only downside is the display is rather dim even in bright light.The cooking buttons are placed in a rather odd order,which takes some getting used too.Foods soups popcorn and the like cook to perfection.The oven door is a little clunky,but what do you expect for 70 bucks.A best buy with free super saving shipping.Thank you for reading my review 07/25/07.

Its a small compact microwave with an attractive black finish that hides finger prints better than the white magic chef that I had before... This unit actually holds more food than it looks like it can and considering how UPS tossed it over my gated fence leaving it on my front lawn in the RAIN all day until I got home from work that night instead of leaving it at my side door like I've told UPS a hundred times to do, this little microwave has to be unbreakable...
It defrost and cooks food quick and efficently, the rotating device in the microwave is durable and stable... My only complaint would be with button placement but I'm getting used to it...

Works fine. My only complaint would be that the buttons are a little small and in a dimlit kitchen(mine) it's hard to find and read them.
