Customer Response

Problem with filters
I have been unable to find filters that fit this microwave. I ordered some through Sharp and they didn't fit. Sharp told me that I would have to get a service man out to install them. The service man could not install them and he called Sharp and was told that there was a design error and there were no filters available for this model. Sharp would not reimburse me for the expense of the service call. Otherwise, it is a great microwave/convection oven.

Flimsy door construction lasted 16 months
Bought the Sharp R-1874 in November 2006 and immediately noticed that the entire unit appeared to be of flimsy construction. Now the door will not seal properly and it will only work in the micro or convection mode if the user continually keeps pressure on the latch. A ridiculous situation.

Sharp USA was no help and a repairman gave me a $230 quote to fix it.

Top Notch Price, Delivery, Quality!
I was a bit put-off by other reviews critical of packaging, delivery, installation problems, and quality. In my case at least, Amazon and Sharp scored 100% in all categories. I do find that a small hydraulic jack helps immeasurably when single-handedly positioning the unit during installation. And the manual was misleading regarding exhaust fan orientation. It's often the case that manual updates lag product improvements.

Problems
What Sharp Corporation designer ever thought of incorporating two screws, each about a foot long, to be inserted, blind, from front to back in order to pin this unit to the wall? Our installer finally had to give up on the use of these two impractical items.

Other design problems are:
1. The control panel is not backlit and so cannot be used easily in a dimly lit room.
2. The internal light does not adequately illuminate the food.

Don't order this from Amazon! Save yourself a BIG headache.
I ordered this from Amazon because of the low price, and they were offering free shipping and $25 additional off that day. I received the microwave and it was damaged due to poor packaging. I arranged for a return and replacement. Very easy. Second one came damaged. Amazon took it back but will not even try to replace it again. Now I found that they charged me an extra $25 even though my invoice says $431.95. I'm very disappointed in Amazon.com at this point. Why are they still selling this online, but refuse to ship me another? Interesting.... I'm going with the Dacor over the range from a local dealer. It's more money, but I know it's right and if it's not, the company will stand behind it, unlike Amazon.
