Sharp SMC1452KH 1.4 cu. ft. Black Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave Oven

I’m really impressed with this Sharp model—it looks modern and actually solves some of the most annoying "standard" microwave problems. First off, it has a physical handle (which is getting harder to find) and a dedicated button that lets you permanently disable the child safety lock. This is a massive relief for households that don't need to deal with a locked door every time they want to heat up coffee. The biggest win for me isn't even in the listing: you CAN mute the beeps. Despite what the Amazon Q&A or official description might say, a quick hold of the "8" or "0" button silences the unit entirely. This is a huge plus for late-night snacks or just keeping a quiet kitchen. While there are a few minor design quirks, the modern convenience features and the "secret" mute function make it a superior choice for the price. Pros: • Secret Mute Function: Silent operation is possible, giving you peace of mind and a quiet home. • Lock Control: Dedicated option to permanently disable the child safety lock so it doesn't reset. • Sleek Handle: Much more reliable and easier to use than the typical push-button releases that tend to stick. • Modern Aesthetic: Clean lines and a stainless finish that looks great on the counter. Cons: • Internal Lighting: The white light is surprisingly dim, which actually makes the interior look darker when it's running. It's tough to see if things are bubbling over. • Dated Roller: The ring the glass plate rests on looks and feels like a leftover part from an 80s model—a bit of a weird contrast to the sleek exterior. Verdict: If you value silence and want a microwave that doesn't treat you like a child with forced locks, this is a 5-star choice. It’s a great example of hardware that’s actually better than the manufacturer's description.

Very nice product. Work well and nice color. I am not disappointed. The size is not that big and not heavy to lift. I like the pre set cooking option and cooking time. Cook fast and heat the food even. I would recommend this product and name brand. I like that it black stainless steel that bring different to the kitchen

We just got this & (assuming it continues to work well) we love it. There's enough interior space for a dinner plate & domed splatter cover, and also for a tall casserole dish (but not a 13x9). Easy to operate, & we love the "add 30 seconds" button. I also chose this model because the government-required child safety lock against opening the microwave's door can be easily & permanently disabled.

Didn't arrive on time but once I got it loved it

I got this microwave to replace our previous one. This one is very quiet and heats up quickly.

Only had this microwave a month, so far so good. It heats very well and easy to operate, the buttons push easily. The unit I replaced was a 34 year old Sharp (made in the USA), that still worked well, just the door button was failing, this new one is made in China...hoping to get many years of good service out of this unit too. I would recommend this unit based on my past history with Sharp microwave and this new unit works well.

Very nice unit. Our old Sharp also 1.4 cu ft was 8 years old and we loved it. I am a tech but was unable to revive it. I can't believe how quiet this new model is. It also heats up food faster. You can program to shut off the beeping and the child lock if you wish.

After trying a couple replacements for our old Panasonic mw and looking at many, we ordered this one and love it. Very high quality. Doesn’t do popcorn quite as well as the more powerful 1200 watt. And defrost takes a little longer as do a few other things, but expected that from this 1100 watt unit. Follow up, this unit is very weak and seems to take twice as long to cook and defrost as my old 1200 watt microwave. Also door is already sticking.
