Bought this Sharp microwave to replace our old one that served us well for 20 years, expecting similar quality. Sadly, that is not the case. Worst of all, the rotating boss does not engage properly with the glass turntable so that the glass plate often does not turn, resulting in improperly heated food. Others, elsewhere, have also commented on this deficiency. Points to faulty design. We returned the machine to the dealer and purchased another make.

I'm happy with the product. I know that I have it within a cavity without enough surrounding space so I leave the door open for a while to let steam dissipate. And, I'm always getting electricity cut off, so don't care about clock setting fading. In fact, it probably saves me money.

I got this for two reasons:
1/ I trust Sharp - they have been making microwaves forever
2/ It outputs 1100 watts - significantly more power than many others.
I read review before purchasing, so I knew what to expect and I am well pleased with the results. Its cooking time is 30% faster than my last one and I really like the simple classic uncluttered design.
Good unit, good deal.

By all accounts, this is a very good microwave, and I thought the purchase price reasonable, but it was not until I unpacked the microwave and had access to the installation instructions that I learnt that the microwave is designed for countertop use, and that if placed on an enclosed shelf (as was intended in my kitchen), that a space of at least 30cm above, and 10cm on either side of the unit is required. There's nothing on the box to indicate this.

We got this for our caravan based on 1/ its compact size and weight 2/ its powerful output 3/ Sharp reliability.
I am more than happy with it. It is small but very fast to cook and has simple clear menus. I trust Sharp, they are a proper Japanese band and I cannot ever remember having a bad product from them. Good unit!

This is a little powerhouse of a microwave - I had to adjust my estimates of how long to cook things because its got a much stronger cooking output than our last one. Its easy to use, well laid out keypad and menus and just over all works well. It might not suit a large family due to the smaller interior space but I find it just right. Very happy with it.

We chose the Sharp R-330 based on its low price but its performance has been equal to a microwave more than twice that. It is easy to use and efficient to cook. The ONLY negative - and it is just a personal niggle, is the clock doesnt stay illuminated when the microwave isnt in use and you have to touch a button to see the time. For most people that probably isnt an issue, but we dont have any other clock in the kitchen and are used to using the microwave time display for that purpose. But I admit I am being picky and the R-330 is wonderful value.

This is only a standard looking microwave but it is very powerful for its smallish size at 1100 watts. It cooks really quickly and can thaw the largest lasagna without trouble. I like it because it has the traditional look without being too flash or over the top. The menus are very clear and make good sense - I didn't even need to read the manual to get it going. Its very suitable for a couple although larger families would probably prefer something bigger. It suits me well and I think most people would be happy with it.

I like how the design is simple so it fits the decor of my kitchen. With 1100W of power, the food is cooked very quickly as is much better than my old 800W one. The only problem is that the clock doesn't show unless you press the button and it only shows for two minutes before turning off.

This Sharp Microwave model 330E (W) is great, it’s easy of use is great, put your product in to cook and then set the time and away you go, very happy with it indeed, it is a smallish unit that also looks great on the bench, and is easy to clean and keep in tip top condition

Not a bad microwave, still going strong after 4 years, cooks food evenly and fast. Not bad at cleaning it as glass tray can be removed. Size is to small for family bu great for single or young couple. I fine to display and buttons easy to use after reading the manual.

I brought this Sharp microwave for my Mum. I don't like this Sharp microwave because the display only displays the time of the day for 2 minutes then you have to press the clear key to display the time of the day for another 2 minutes. I don't like this feature at all

I do not like this microwave, there is no fan installed for air and moisture ventilation after each use. Therefore I've had to turn it off every time and leave the door open for it to dry.
Would not recommend this due to this reason, but otherwise it works fine.
