Title: Buyer Beware! Terrible quality, substandard parts.
Review: This microwave broke twice within 3 years, at which time I needed to replace it.I purchased this microwave from Best Buy in June of 2006. In December of 2006, it stopped working. I brought it to a Sharp authorized repair shop, and they replaced the magnetron (which generates the microwaves) under warranty. (They provided great service). In May of 2009, the magnetron failed again! No longer under warranty, I did the research, and the part alone, direct from the distributor would be $92 plus shipping. I decided to just buy a new microwave. I bought a GE at Sam's Club, equivalent size, more features, more convenient to use, for only $64!In addition to being poorly manufactured, The functionality of the controls on this microwave is terrible. Sharp has gone backwards with ease of use on this model.It used to be that Sharp made the best microwaves. The two Sharps I had prior to this lasted 9 years each. Their quality has gone way downhill.
