Cons: none

I was unable to find the Sharp Carousel model R3W97, so until they add that one to the list, I am placing it here. I hope you don't mind.

Pros: Quick and easy to use, good quality for a low price.
Cons: Small

I am very satisfied with my Sharp R230B microwave. There are a number of reasons why this is a very good kitchen appliance. First off and probably most important, is the price. I purchased my Sharp microwave about a year ago for $110 - a real bargain....

Cons: stains can happen if not cleaned right away.

I have had the Model R230B for about 8 months, having gone from a much larger (older) Amana, without a turntable or timer, so I thought this would be a good model.

Pros: Reliable and accurate
Cons: None

Cons: Hard to clean; too sensitive to electrical surges

Cons: None
