Sharp 0.8 Cubic Foot Compact Size Microwave Oven R-216FS

Date Published: 5/11/06

A spiffy little model, the Sharp Compact Size Microwave Oven R-216FS is very up to date with its stainless and black exterior.

In addition to looking good, users of the R-216FS report that this model performs as well as it looks. With 15 automated settings, it makes quick and easy work of small day-to-day microwave tasks such as cooking simple foods and reheating leftovers.

Beyond the basics, this model features an easy-to-use automated defrost program that excels at thawing small portions of foods such as chicken breast and ground beef. Equipped with an 11-5/8-inch turntable to promote even heating, this model will accept most luncheon-size plates, but not your full-size dinner plates. While too small for most families, this unit can easily handle the simple needs of a busy student or two adults on the run.

Equally at home in a wet bar or kitchen, the most popular function of this model is its almost foolproof program for preparing any type of microwave popcorn. Take one home today and you can be watching TV with a bowl of freshly microwaved popcorn beside you in no time.

Priced right, small, versatile, and simple to use, the Sharp R-216FS offers excellent value.

Pro: attractive, small, affordable
Con: too small for a family, limited interior space.
