very good intelligent purchase
We just ordered our 2nd Sharp microwave drawer. Our last one was 7 years old and we used it constantly. Worth the price. No on the counter type for us. My husband was able to install it also. Great product.

Great Microwave – Works Perfectly! + 1 Year later update + 3 Year later update!
Good product, works perfectly. Wish it came with more how to use instructions but itâs been fairly easy to figure out. I installed myself. Plug was already in place for a warming drawer which I replaced with the microwave. I read bad reviews & saw a few good ones before purchase. My purchase shipped quickly with no damage, I installed the next day and itâs been working great since. A little pricey but great product.11/2/2019 UPDATEI thought it would be helpful to others who, like me who felt a little, âon the fenceâ about purchasing this microwave. It is now just over one year later and the microwave is still purring along, just fine. Weâve kept it clean, so it still looks new and works perfectly. The 3rd photo is what it looks like after a year of use, and like I said, itâs like new!5/8/2020 UPDATEI’m back to let everyone know this little jewel is still purring along perfectly. Like I said in previous reviews, we have kept it clean and it still looks like new. This microwave is true quality. and still works just like new.

Wonderful microwave
I replaced the 13 year old one I had with this same model. I love that the drawer slides out at the touch of a button. My last one was in heavy daily use for 13 years, so when it was time for a replacement, I was happy that it was still available. It is reliable, fast, attractive, and easy to operate. Love it.

A Safety Hazard
We bought the KB-6524 about 2 years ago as part of a kitchen remodel. Recently, we we began to experience the same problems reported by Trina above. Shortly after starting the microwave, we would hear a loud buzzing sound, crackling, arcing and occasionally a flash of light. It would not always happen – very unpredictable. I called Sharp, they said I would have to take it to a Sharp authorized repair shop and would have to pay all labor and any parts that were still not under warranty. Fortunately, I had done a search online for similar types of problems with this model, and I found Trinaâs post here in Amazon. I printed it out, and took it with the microwave to the Sharp repair shop (65 miles away) and asked them to diagnose the problem. They called a few days later and told me that the printout of Trinaâs complaint on Amazon helped them diagnose the problem. They said it would have to have 4 new parts installed, including the stirrer, and new antenna. None of these parts are under warranty and Sharp will not pay a dime toward the repair. Itâs pretty clear by now that this is a manufacturing defect in the KB-6524 and Sharp should not only pay for repair but should recall all the units that are out there. This is a potential fire hazard. I will probably report this to the Consumer Safety Bureau. But for all people looking for a microwave drawer, I strongly recommend you go with Bosch or Dacor or one of the other top-line models. They cost more, but not if you include the repair bill youâre going to have to pay for your Sharp KB-6524 if you go that route. Avoid Sharp objects..UPDATE: When we went to pick up the microwave from the authorized repair shop, I asked to the electronics technician to explain to me what had gone wrong. He said the stirrer motor, antenna assembly (including clip and cover) all needed replacement, as mentioned in Trina’s comments. HOWEVER, he also told me that Sharp had put a bulletin out about this problem to its authorized repair shops. So not only does Sharp know about this problem and is not covering it under warranty, but it is leaving a known safety problem out in the marketplace. I will be filing a complaint with the Consumer Product Safety Bureau.UPDATE 2: 3 months and a few days after the repair mention above, which cost $200, the same problem started all over again. This time with smoke coming out of the top and back of the microwave. The authorized repairer said we would have to pay again to have it diagnosed and fixed since it was out of the 90 day warranty period. We had a choice – spend another $200 or more on this piece of junk, or take it to the dump and get a new microwave. We chose the second option – who knows how many times this would have to be fixed. And frankly it is just dangerous for us and our pets. We chose a countertop microwave from a different vendor which does not have any of the questionable “stirrer” technology that is in the Sharp model. It fits nicely into the area where the Sharp was. We are very happy with it so far. . As for the Sharp – a 3 year old expensive Sharp microwave drawer will be taken to the county dump with a prominent sign taped to it: “DO NOT USE – FIRE HAZARD”.

good concept
This is a great design concept. It gives you more counter space. I was worried about it making soup spill with jerky loading, but I haven’t found that to be a problem.The only reason that I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the interface is a bit clumsy. For pretty much everything, it requires too many key strokes to get it doing what you want. It’s like the old days of operating a VCR. way too complicated. It’s like you have to keep the manual out on the counter if you want to do anything other than run if for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. defrosting = difficult .. timer = difficult… resetting the clock = difficultIn summary: as long as your key objective is to get the microwave off of the counter, and you only plan on using it to reheat things at max heat, then you will love it.

There are opening and closing options. Just remember not to force opening and vloding
I love that is so quiet! No more clanking & clunking opening and closing to heat up my mug of coffee. The thing takes getting used is if you are tall it takes getting use to placement being down low since itâs a drawer and if you donât like to do squats I wouldnât recommend however for wheelchair customers it would be perfect. All I really need is to know is where the open/close is and the start/stop!My daughter told me she uses a damp paper towel in there most of the time since itâs an easy clean up if spill-overs occur. It is so much easy to cleaner without the rotary glass. Also those microwave covers to go over food are great purchased here also!! So over all LOVE IT!
