 Doesn't last February 11, 2010

The microwave worked well, however the documentation was poor. The manual doesn't describe many of the functions. It has defrost, soften, but only gives you "food 1, food 2" etc with no indication of WHAT food the setting is for! Then after only having the oven for 1 year, it died spectacularly with sparks and fire inside. Sigh.

I opened up this Sharp R-408LS Microwave with high hopes of having a nice microwave with all the advertised features. What a disappointment. It would not heat anything. Not even the popcorn feature worked. I packaged this right back up and returning for a full refund. I will not be purchasing another Sharp product. Don't these companies test these products before sending? I guess not!
 Big learning curve for me and defrost is a pain November 25, 2009

I replace my 2nd crappy Kenmore microwave in 5 years with this Sharp R-408LS. I like it but it is a lot harder at first to learn and understand. The defrost cycle is a pain cause every 30secs it wants me to open the door and pull apart whatever I am defrosting this is called staging which is like 3 times for 1lb of ground beef (I call it retarded). I just open and shut the door and hit start to continue still a pain in the butt.
Kenmore you hit defrost pick whatever then the weight and forget about. If there a way to defrost and skip staging please tell.
Popcorn has 3 setting so read the back of the bag before popping to pick right size or stand and listen to it. Over all it is a great microwave beside defrost this baby is big at 1.4 cubic feet and 1100 watts it heats and pops popcorn fast.
If it last more the 2 years it will have out lived my last Kenmore if it last more then 5 years it will be better then Kenmore.
I would recommend you shop around I got this for $99 at my local Costco with tax came to $106.99. I would have hated to have paid $175. For $107 I can live with the learning curve and it worth it. I don't think it worth $175.
The only stainless steel is the door and I scratch the middle of the door cause Sharp put a sticker with glue that wouldn't come off but, that's ok. I am happy.
 Not sure yet, but there are issues November 21, 2009

Bought this at BJ's in NJ in Oct 2009. Seemed like a decent product for $99. I usually keep the box until I know it works, but the old one was completely dead so I chucked it. I kninda regret that. Now, after a month of use, we have had the 15 amp breaker blow like 4 times. The first time, we had heated up several dishes of food with no cover over them. The last thing was a small pitcher of water. unlike another reviewer on here who said that heating water produced no vapor build up, the heated, uncovered water released SOOOOO much vapor that the time display on the keypad fogged over and the breaker blew. We have since been covering the food with a microwave proof cover and the water with wax paper as suggested with somewhat beter results. The breaker still blew, but not nearly as much fogging of the display. This unit does draw a lot of power. The only other thing plugged into its outlet is a small sony boombox type radio. If it is on when the microwave is on for more than 5 minutes, the break blows. Going to try a 20 amp breaker to see if the problem goes away. I have to say, this is the first microwave I have had that seems to have poor ventilation. Most blow hot air out the top or back with some force, but not this one. Seems odd. My final veridict is still out on this unit until I see if the higher breaker works. I still think that the poor ventilation is a problem that would make me not recommend this product, though.
Great and great looking microwave but not all stainless steel November 11, 2009

This is a great microwave. It has all the features you are looking for and unlike a lot of the cheaper models all of the buttons and features are intuitive so you don't need to read a product manual to figure out how to set the clock or adjust the cooking settings. It is very powerfull for an 1100-watt microwave and heats food quickly and pretty evenly.
I bought mine at Costco in October 2009 for $105.00.
The only thing that is misleading about this product is the name "stainless steel". The only stainless steel is on the door of the microwave, the rest of the microwave is covered with a silverish epoxy paint. But it looks good and cleans up nicely and you can't get a "real" stainless steel microwave for this price. If you have all stainless steel appliances this will fit in nicely.
