Sharp R-320HK 1200-Watt 1.2-Cubic-Foot Microwave, Black March 9, 2010
Fred Nureddine (ONTARIO, CA, USA)
Works very well. The 1200 watts makes this microwave oven fast in practically all functions. Sort of hard to program few applications.
 Excellent product February 15, 2010

I bought one of these from Amazon over a month ago and I love it and can find no faults with it all.
Every feature that I have used works well, the directions that came with it were ALL in English and easy to understand. From the first day I got it I have enjoyed using it and I use it several times a day.
This is a very powerful microwave and has the sensor cooking function on it and like that too but may be a little too much power for leftovers and a few other things but that is not an issue with this microwave. Simply set the amount of time to reheat leftovers or frozen dinners and reduce the power level and start.
I haven't bought a product in many years that I was 100% satisfied with but this one I am and I got one heck of a bargain on it to boot from Amazon.
This microwave wasn't available in any of the stores in my area and could only be bought online and you pay shipping charges, taxes and wait a week or two for it to come in and the prices were about $170.00 all total.
I paid Amazon $109.00, got free shipping and had it the day after I placed the order. They must have a warehouse in the St. Louis area.
If you are looking for a midsized microwave this is it.
Great size and color microwave February 4, 2010

This microwave fit perfectly on my counter, and the bisque color matches my fridge, double oven, and dishwasher. Am making adjustments to the increased power (1200 watts) as my previous microwave was only 1000 watts. Having a turntable was important also. I have other Sharp products and none have disappointed me.

I have been looking for a compact microwave. This oven ended up being bigger than I wanted (midsize) but had the functions I really wanted. I'm very happy with this unit. Good instructions, love the sensory cooking feature and I would not hesitate to recommend this oven.
 Pretty, too powerful for popcorn, weird power usage January 10, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2ZQ1FAVS3IXF2 NOTE: The video demonstrates the odd power use...the complete review is below.
I'm a basic microwave user - reheating items from the fridge, popcorn, water for tea, the occasional frozen dinner, rarely defrosting. This Sharp R-320HK 1200-Watt 1.2-Cubic-Foot Microwave, Black replaces a smaller Sharp Carousel that lost a lot of power in the last 6 years (tip: don't use metal in microwaves even if it doesn't spark ;).
Things I like:
Price
Light stays on when the door is open (the old one didn't)
Start/minute plus and other quick start buttons
Sensor - can be programmed for more or less time as desired
Size - not too big, not too small
Look - sleek, black
Things I don't like:
Too powerful - popcorn is burning before popping slows down
Buttons aren't the easiest to read/locate/memorize except for Sensor and Popcorn
Sensor isn't 100% accurate - lots of kernels left even after adding more time
Power draw is more than specs and Sharp can't/won't explain why
Loud clang when door closes
I recently bought an amp/watt meter and used it on this microwave. The power it draws is much more than the specs in the manual (max 1880+ watts/15.9 amps vs specs 1680 watts/14.2 amps) and ranges wildly - 1350 to 1870 watts in a minute in the video. I tested my old Sharp Carousel and the wattage fluctuated between 1200 and 1275 only for the same minute plus command. When I contacted Sharp about it they said they can only answer operational questions and suggested I take it to a repair facility (which would keep it a week or so to work on it). I was disappointed they couldn't respond to the question better and told them I'd rather return it to Walmart as defective rather than the trouble of the repair facility.
EDIT: I am returning it for a lower power Sharp Carousel - I've tried cooking about 10 bags of popcorn (Orville Smart Pop regular size) and every single one burns waaay before the popping stops slowing down. I'd estimate I lose about 20% of the popcorn - not a huge deal but combined with the lackluster customer service means a return with a defective tag.
