Overview

Sharp updated this generation with a gray interior, white LED display, and interior lighting, changes several buyers specifically called out as improvements over older Panasonic and Sharp units. The tradeoff for the larger capacity is size, one reviewer flagged it as noticeably big on the counter, so measure before buying.

What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who upgraded from older Panasonic or Sharp microwaves consistently call this one quieter and larger, with several saying they have to check the display to confirm it's actually running. The plus-30-seconds start and even heating get repeat praise. Criticism centers on the size being bigger than expected, the standard door lock some buyers wanted to avoid, and a workaround needed to enter cook times under a minute.
