(More customer reviews)My wife owned the same microwave but smaller,1CU FT when we married, she moved in with me and we stored hers in the basement for a year until we got a much bigger place.We started using hers which had more CU FT than the one I had, since we had lots of counter space.I noticed the door stuck and you had to constantly push the button for it to open, but I wrote it off as sitting in the basement for a year and getting mishandled by the movers.The thing lasted about a year and a half into till it died, my wife had owned it for quiet some time as it had been past to her by her mother.
The microwave did a decent job cooking, it wasn't great but none are.I wanted a bigger one this time so we went from the 1 CU. FT to the 2 CU FT.For the money, size and features Sharp was at the top of my list and I decided to stay with the brand.
I was pleased with the features, the sensors seemed to be off a little and the food came out cold which is fine, I would rather cook it a bit more than have the food fried.
About two months into owning the machine the door began to lock up on me just as the old one.Turns out I was wrong and it is a design flaw with the microwave.I mentioned it to my wife who clearly has stated in the past she wants nothing to do with any appliance purchases, she told me that the old one did the same thing from the time she got it, that's why her mom gave it to her.I explained to her that it would of been nice to know that prior to buying the same model.
It was my mistake for not doing my homework, so hopefully I can give you a heads up.The microwave runs fine and has lots of nice features, the major flaw is you have to continue to push the button, up to five or six times before the lock disengages.What good are fancy features if you can't open the door?
Their are a lot of nice microwaves out there with just as good features, which have doors that open with the first push of a button or pull of a handle.Be smart and choose one of them.
