Sharp Carousel Model No. R-2A87 700 Watts Review

Right now I am on my second Sharp Carousel 700-watt microwave oven.  After getting about 3 years of use from the first one, some of the numbers on the keypad quit working - for instance, i had to set it for 60 seconds if I wanted a minute because the "1" stopped working.  I gave it away to a friend who was willing to put up with it.  Liking the size and features, I got another of the same brand and model.  I've had this microwave for about 3 years, too, and so far have had no problem with the numbers dying on me, so the first one may have been defective.  The Sharp Carousel does everything I want a microwave oven to do, which is mostly to heat water for my morning tea and to heat frozen dinners and reheat leftovers.  I don't do much more in a microwave oven except to make baked potatoes, and for this I much prefer it over using a conventional oven, as it keeps the skin from getting crunchy.  For this, the Sharp Carousel does a perfect job.
