Two days later, the motor started making a loud noise, the turntable started spinning slowly, nothing was being heated and there was SMOKE coming out of one of the internal vents.SO ANNOYED - I will not purchase electronics from Amazon again; this is the 2nd item I have received that broke within a week. This item arrived from Amazon and worked right out of the box. Save your money and your time, this item is a piece.
So far so good. Decided to upgrade and get another SHARP appliance for my new place. Great Product. I usually choose sharp when it comes to certain kitchen appliances, i had a previous microwave from SHARP since 2001 and it is still running strong.
I am told it needs a new magnatron which seems to be a common complaint. This one lasted only six months. No more Sharp for me. I purchased this microwave as I needed a larger more powerful model. My previous Sharp was still operating after 15 years. Seems like this product should be recalled and Sharp should up their quality control.
I heartily caution anyone interested in a Sharp product to first check out warranty service availability.

Unfortunately, I did not ask if the location listed on Sharp's website was accurate. In June, 2009 the sensor feature failed causing sparks and loud grinding noises to emanate from the oven. I purchased a Sharp R-420LW in December, 2008 from hhgregg. I located Sharp repair services on the internet and called the listed number to obtain service. I then went to hhgregg where the original purchase was made and after a lengthy wait an hhgregg "manager" begrudgingly provided me with a 800 number that led to a repair service in a city some 240 miles from my location.
Sure, Mom, once I can get the door open, I can then get the manual, and then, I'll read the manual as to how to get the door open. "Well, see what the manual says about this," says my mother. I will do more research and find another microwave. I did a lot of research on this product and that is why I was twice as angry when I couldn't even open the door on this product. It was a Mother's day gift and I presented it to my mother. Amazon was good about refunding my purchase price plus the shipping(back).
