Sharp R-216LS Compact Size 0.8 Cu-Foot Microwave, Stainless Steel
I purchased a Sharp microwave oven, which worked fine for 7 weeks.
I used it to heat soup, and for oatmeal in the morning.
One morning it just broke.
The door closed, the light and fan came on, but there was no heat.
It emitted a burning plastic smell.
Sharp service told me that I needed to have a Sharp-authorized technician examine it before it could be replaced.
Unfortunately, the nearest Sharp-authorized service location is a two-hour round trip drive for me. They don’t accept shipments, nor are they are not open on weekends.
This means that in order for me to obtain warranty service on this relatively new product I would have to *take a day off work*, as it is too far to drive on my lunch hour.
Also, one cannot return a product to Sharp for examination; as per the warranty you must “hand carry” or ship the item to a service location (if your service location accepts shipments).
So I believe my current options are:
1) find a local microwave service place, and pay for the service myself
or
2) throw the oven away
I recommend not purchasing any Sharp appliance unless you know that a Sharp-authorized service location is close by.
Best Regards and Good Luck!

Light weight, compact, style is modern, works great warming the food. One of the better reviews & looking @ stores considerig the guidelines for the dorm were no more than 1,000 Watts.

Just like another reviewer, I had a difficult time removing the sticker on the front door of the microwave. By the time I had very carefully rubbed off the adhesive, there were 4 prominent scratch/scuff marks on my new microwave. Sharp customer service was very uncooperative and unresponsive in helping me resolve the issue of a new microwave with blemishes because of the adhesive they used on a sticker which didn’t need to be there in the first place. They directed me to the nearest authorized service center where they said I would have to pick up the tab if I wanted a new door. I chose this microwave for 2 reasons, it’s small size fit in my cabinet space and it looked clean and modern. Well now it looks cheap and ugly. Let’s face it, a microwave is a microwave, it heats up your leftovers, boils water, and pops your popcorn. What you’re left with is an appliance that fits your style or decor and a company that will back up their product should problems arise. In my opinion, Sharp is not a company that backs up their products or cares about its customers–I will NEVER buy another Sharp product again!

I was very upset when they put a sticker on the front of the microwave and I was unable to get it off. So now the microwave has scratches on it from scrapping it off. And i don’t like that the time on it isn’t noticible. But it does heat my things up.

I have not seen it. I purchased it as a gift for my granddaughter’s bridal shower. She has received it and loves it!
