Great microwave for the money and great cooking features. This is one of the best microwaves I’ve ever owned and the size saves me time. I can warm alto of food at once including large casseroles. I highly recommend it.

I was helping someone clean out an old shed. There was a huge vintage looking microwave he gave me for helping, had been stored in there for twenty some years. What struck me the most was how well kept someone had kept it, must have meant alot to them. I got it home and discovered it was made in 1986. It was a Sharp Carousel II ESP . Not a bit of rust anywhere, I was really amazed how new it looked, they sure made things better in those days. I plugged it in and it worked! I was so blown away after 31 years. I remember the first big ones made come at a pretty penny. Would anyone know what this one cost when it was new? I am so in love with this blast from the past. Almost thrown away. My lucky day. Man where does the time go.

for the amount of food my family heats up, this microwave takes on a lot of work. good quality and seems to last a long time. Even bought one for my in-laws for their retirement home to heat up left overs.

I got this for Christmas 22 years ago and other than a little rust inside where the turntable turns--it still works as good as it did when I bought it.

Your review would have been far more useful, Constance had you given us some indication of how much use it gets.
Whatever, glad to hear it's given such splendid service and don't worry about the rust as long as it's not eaten through the metal - that's the time to bin it!

My darn old microwave couldn't take it anymore. Purchased this brand and so far so good. Warms up the lunchs faster than the old one. Hopefully we can get several years out of it.

I have had this Microwave Convection Oven for over 25 years and it has been used on a daily basis since purchase. The convection part made cooking and browning food very easy. It cooked oven chips and steaks very well, nicely browned. The only fault that has occurred in over 25 years was the turntable rotator mounting broke preventing the turntable movement. However recently it developed an electrical fault so I new it was close to failure and a few days ago it finally failed. I will investigate whether more recent Sharp microwave combi's are built as well and built to last.

We had our Sharp Carousel from 1991 to 2011 and it was still working when we scrapped it. It was bought at the Yorkshire Electricity Board showrooms Hull for £249 and came with a 5 year guarantee (which was free - you didn't have to pay for many guarantees in those days)We got rid of it and the house(!) when we retired and downsized - meaning a large Microwave wasn't needed anymore so we have now got a smaller one. The Sharp was a testament to quality and durability.

Just broken after 21 years. I bet we can't find anything to replace it that lasts anywhere near as long or has given us such fantastic service. Use it everyday and solely for a few years when we didn't have a conventional oven.

Bought ours in 1986 and hardly used a conventional oven since. Took it to have it checked for leakage a few years ago - engineer told me 'you will never be able to get another of this quality'. Sad thought. It has been amazing, never even had to replace the light-bulb. The interior door trim broke off a year ago but Superglue came to the rescue. When it eventually gives up the ghost I think we will feel bereaved. Everytime I use it I just can't believe it has lasted so long.

I bought my Sharp Carousel 11 over 27 years ago and it has just given up what can one get that last so long in these days and age... It was so easy to use. I have even cooked my Christmas Turkey in it and it came out better than an ordinary oven. I loved the size of my micro wave oven, it was worth every penny.

We bought ours as a 'second' sale from South Western Electricity (SWEB) in January 1991 for £100. Used every day since then and its only just gone pop. Nearly 21 years with no service / breakdowns - even the light bulb was never changed. I wish I could buy the same again........

Given as a pre-wedding present, and used every day, almost exclusively for 10 years before we bought a conventional oven/cooker, this is still the best piece of kit I have ever encountered. So simple even I can use it, and so clever, that food never has that 'microdried' taste. Sadly the plastic door interior trim has dried out and fallen off, but still no microwave leakage detected. If only all equipment was made to last like this..... What didn't we like about it? Absolutely nothing!

We bought ours in 1991, and dare I say it, but it is still going strong. It is used every day, and we love the convection oven, faster and cheaper than heating up a regular size oven. The only thing I dislike about it is its size, but as it does so many things, I guess it needs to be big!

I still have mine. I'm 14 and my parents bought it when they got married. I think it's the most used thing in my kitchen, haha.

I have a sharps carousel 2 model I think R6261 I think we bought it early 80s from Debenhams cost around £250 apart from a waveguide change couple of 6.5A fuses blown and adjusted the fan blades still working as when we bought it dread to think what it would cost now if could get one.
