Pros:
The carousel!
Cons:
Pretty small, pre-set timers aren't accurate.
Bottom Line:
It's a little too small and the pre-set timers are off, but as far as microwaves go, it can get the job done.

Pros:
Too many to list in 15 words. Without a doubt, it heats thoroughly.
Cons:
None, unless you bought it by mistake, while preferring a larger or smaller size.
Bottom Line:
Recommended...the Sharp R230B is frequently utilized by many in my office. We use it for anything from warming coffee to heating frozen foods. However, it does much more.

cute little microwave, nice features......except for the door

Pros:
1-800 customer service #, special defrost and safety features, nice looking
Cons:
door latch
Bottom Line:
With features that I actually use, and a easy-to-clean removable turntable, I think it is great for small families, or a single person - would be great in a dorm!
