Sharp R-330CK 1100 Watts Microwave Oven

Pros: Great Price/Great Oven
Cons: None

We have been very fortunate lately to have everything in our home go kaput at the same time. First our printer died and next it was our microwave. We had a Sears Kenmore Microwave from 1986. It lasted for 14 years and went through a major overhaul...

Pros: Defrost feature does not over-reach
Cons: User must be proficient at estimating volumes and weights

[This is a review of the Sharp Carousel R320D, which is not technically a member of the R330C series. I apologize for the discrepancy, but this was the closest category I could find, as it fell between the R230B and the R430C.]

When we bought...

Pros: Carousel, timed cooking, easy to set clock, easy to clean, timer, roomy
Cons: Compu-defrost pre-set timing is not suitable for my cooking

I Love It!


We have owned this Sharp Carousel for over a year and just love it. I had owned an Emerson turntable microwave for about 12 years before it reached the end of its lifespan. I loved the turntable convenience - no stopping...

Pros: One-touch settings, carousel, onscreen guide
Cons: Would be nice if the clock had a memory (for power outages)

My husband and I were given this microwave as a wedding gift two years ago. The microwave we had before this one worked great...we did not think we 'needed' another one. I am SO glad that we were given this product because we probably would have never...

Pros: Cheap, many functions, cooks evenly
Cons: Door sticks sometimes

I remember the first microwave I bought. It cost over $500, was absolutely huge, (it took two of us to carry it up the stairs to my apartment,) and it basically had two functions, cook, and defrost. It didn't have a turntable, so you had to manually turn...

Pros: Feature packed, affordable price, good instructions
Cons: You don't know you needed it until you have it!

Oh my gosh! This thing is fabulous! I thought my microwave was pretty good until I got this Sharp Carousel microwave. We have just recently remodeled our house and painted all the kitchen cabinets white (they were dark brown). I admit, it is vain, but I...

Pros: Easy to Clean, Heats up food HOT
Cons: I don't have one

This microwave which I have at work is perfect for those who need or want their food in both timely fashion and piping hot. Of course, that's what microwaves were invented for, but we all know there are some microwaves out there that just don't cut it....

Pros: All the pre-set features
Cons: Turntable to close to door

This is our second Sharp microwave. Our first one we bought in 1988 and it lasted for 10 years. Really it would of went on longer but the light on the inside went out and rust had started to appear on the bottom. The first time I saw the moving turn...

Pros: Sensor cooking, Minute Plus, Value
Cons: Shape, Door handle

Ok, with a name like "sharp" I couldn't avoid using it in my title. The great thing about this microwave is that it really is sharp. I wanted a midsized microwave for small stuff: popcorn, reheating, baby food, etc. and after looking at...

Pros: easy to use, efficient
Cons: may need minor adjustment to preset times.

This past Christmas I received a real surprise under the tree. A new microwave oven! This was something that, being a College Student, I wanted but couldn't really afford. So I was pleased beyond words.

I have waited a month before writing...

Pros: Sensor Cook function
Cons: Size

Ever find yourself checking and re-checking to see that your food in the microwave is hot or not. Sharp has come up with the Sensor Cook function that removes all the guesswork. I find this function most useful especially when re-heating leftovers. Just...

Pros: Sensor cooking, smart display screen
Cons: Can be a little noisy, takes up a lot of counter space

We have owned the R-330C for a few years now and it is fabulous. We have never had any reliability problems like the other reviewer (those poor people!). The sensor cook feature is the piece de resistance with this model. Simply select your food ...

Pros: Great features, performance, design. Simple intuitive design.
Cons: Keeps breaking down. Two units so far had to be replaced.

I honestly wish that our experience with the two (2) Sharp R-330's we have purchased was positive.... but not. We researched a lot of microwaves and compared prices/functions. We decided the Sharp 330 was the best bang for the buck. The first one we ...

Pros: QUICK HEATING UP, PERFECT SIZE, ROTATING BOTTOM, HAS A 10$ MAIL-IN REBATE
Cons: NONE

Well, I haven't bought a microwave in about 10 years. I just wanted to get a bigger oven. I didn't think there would be much of a difference in anything except the size really. After I brought this one home and tried it out, WOW! It cooks so fast and...

Pros: When it worked it was a great product!
Cons: It didn't work for very long....

My husband bought me this microwave for Christmas this past year. I have had it for a total of 5 months and it already isn't working! I have had good luck with Sharp products before, and figured this one would be just as good. When I opened my present, I...
