Last refreshed Jun 13, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
Quiet operation, an accurate popcorn preset, and an easy child-lock override make this a solid mid-size microwave, though the door and control panel feel lighter-built than some expect.

Overview
At 1.1 cubic feet and 1000 watts, the Sharp SMC1162KS covers everyday reheating and cooking with a 12.4 inch turntable, 10 power levels, and a preset tuned specifically for Orville Redenbacher popcorn.
One reviewer with a much larger prior microwave found the smaller cavity and lighter-feeling door a step down.
- 1.1 cu ft capacity, 1000 watts
- 10 power levels with 2-stage cooking
- Weight and time defrost settings
- Express Cook button for up to 6 minutes
Who it's for
Kitchens, break rooms or dorms that need a dependable mid-size microwave for reheating, defrosting and basic cooking will do well with this. It is a step down in capacity for anyone replacing a larger, higher-wattage unit.

- Popcorn preset works well with Orville Redenbacher bags
- Child lock easy to permanently disable
- 12.4 inch turntable fits a full dinner plate
