Strengths: Sharp Reputation - Reliable and Leading Brand in Making Microwave Ovens, Good Price, Compact and Energy Efficient, Made in Thailand not China, Looks Nice, Warms up food quickly.
Weaknesses: LCD doesn't have backlight and numbers are not lighted. They are just black numbers on grey, which you can't see in the dark, unless you turn the light on. But it's ok, we don't cook in the dark. :)
Summary: Our GE microwave oven died after 10 years of use, which I think is a good life span.
Therefore we needed a new compact microwave oven and this was the best considering its price, quality, design and outlook. I've spent many hours browsing for microwaves and reading reviews.
My first factor was reliability, 2nd factor was price, 3rd factor was compact size and nice outlook. I was guided by great reviews written for R-230KK and posted on PriceGrabber and Amazon.
Then I found that Wal-Mart has absolutely identical microwave (R-209KK) with the same capacity, wattage and even the same look. I compared models R-230KK and R-209KK on SharpUSA.com, they are identical. It has 15 automatic settings and 4 defrost options, which is plenty for us.
I paid $54.88+ tax, which is not bad for a quality item.
Pricewise, this microwave was the best choice.
My choice was based also on the reputation of Sharp microwave ovens. Although I was reading reviews and checking prices for other brands too, I was 99% sure that I'll buy Sharp microwave. Because Sharp is a reliable and leading brand in manufacturing microwave ovens. If you're looking for a compact and reliable microwave with a budget price, this is probably the best model to look favorably at.
