Can't Read the Digital Readout
The digital readout shorted out right after the warranty. Everything gets microwaved one minute at a time. Cannot see what time it is or know how much time is left until things are done. Sharp provided no assistance. The circuit board costs over 0 plus labor to fix. We have been "microwaving blind" ever since. Will not buy from them again.

From Sharp Minds come Dangerous Products!
Please note this review specifically relates to the R-2110JW model. However it may influence your decision making.

The Sharp "smart Carousel" design uses rotating magnetrons below the surface of the cooking chamber instead of rotating the food on a carousel. The rotating mechanism under the cooking chamber malfunctioned. As a result arcing occurred between the parts causing a fire and smoke. The unit was turned off in time to avoid a fire spreading to the surrounding cabinets. If no one had been present in the kitchen at the time a serious fire could have occurred.

The defect was bad enough. I consider myself lucky the damage was only to the microwave. Dealing with Sharp customer service was even worse. It has taken over two months to resolve this problem. Sharp offered me a replacement but couldn't get a new unit in white. We suggested paying the difference for an upgrade. We paid the difference for the upgrade...the sharp couldn't find it in white...even though I was able to locate a unit in white in about 5 minutes online. After giving up on a replacement and requesting a refund they "generously" offered me 3 for a product I paid 2. A product that endangered my home and family and had left me without a microwave for two months.

I've enjoyed Sharp products in the past but after this incident I can not recommend doing business with them under any circumstances.

Decided to review while looking for a micro to replace this one!
There are not many choices for "over-the-counter" models out there, I wanted to see reviews of other models because I have to replace this Sharp model which is finicky at best! When it is working, the "Compu Cook" is so complicated I have to pull out the manual. But a more serious problem is that the microwave turns on all by itself, so we have to keep a bowl of water in it to avoid a major catastrophe, and occasionally the appliance blows a fuse, I noticed another reviewer had the same problem with the fuse as well.

Very Satisfied
It was hard to find an over the counter microwave-
so I am very happy that it really works well.. has
lots of bells and whistles but is still easy to run.
Arrived in 2 days in perfect condition.

Buyer beware!
We bought this product about 14 months ago and installed it in our newly renovated kitchen about 10 months ago. When the microwave works, it's a good microwave -- works well, good looking, nice automatic sensors -- however, we've had some problems with it.

The big problem for us (and this is a big problem) is that in the 10 months we've had it one of the three internal fuses shorted out on 3 different occasions. Now that it's out of it's 1-year warranty the price of fixing that fuse looks like its >0. Also, this microwave is going to be tough to replace becasue we've built the cabinet opening custom for this microwave.

I'm also going to complain to my kitchen designer and make sure that this appliance isn't going to be recommended to his other customers. Unreliable quality makes for an expensive appliance.
