Introduction -< b> Sharp microwaves are well known workhorses. They excel in one very important category. They seem to last forever. The first microwave I ever saw was a Sharp. I pretty much got to know Sharp as "The microwave company" over the years. ...

Bad product/bad service
by rossjf ,Nov 30 '09
Pros: Pretty; looked nice in kitchen Cons: Cooked poorly Short life Poor service
Had OK Sharp MWs for years, but this was a lemon. Burned popcorn. Got noisy, then failed after 6 months. Local "Factory" service (Eugene, OR) was a hole-in-the-wall, looked like a Droid repair shop out of Star Wars. Decades-old MWs and parts stacked up to the ceiling. I had to call daily for 3 weeks to get it back. Then used sparingly for a month ... got noisy and failed again.
Got an LG. We'll see. My experience with this Sharp product is consistent with recent experience a wide variety of consumer products made in China: even when I get a good product, if I buy the same product again, then it's different (e.g., garden nozzles, exercise shoes). So my guess is that there really aren't "Sharp" MWs, just a variety of look-alike MWs made in any number of Chinese sweat shops with a Sharp label. No way to tell if your product came from the right sweat shop on the right day.
If service matters to you, then I'd go to the Sharp site, ID your local "Factory" service provider, and check it out before you buy.
