| After only a few months casual use, the buttons failed to operate. I was never able to set the time or timer. One of the worst pieces of electronic equipment I have ever purchased. Less than a year later it went in the trash. I won't buy another Sharp product. I thought they had a good reputation and the microwave was no exception until, like most microwaves, it stopped working properly after a number of years. This particular problem is especially alarming, though: it turned itself on while unattended! Most of the microwave instructions I've read say not to use the microwave with nothing in it because it can be a fire hazard. Yet, from time to time, this thing would just start running on its own and it scared the heck out of me. It continued to function when I wanted it to, but starting up on its own was a definite hazard. I kept it unplugged when not in use, until I finally put it out with the trash. I contacted Sharp and asked if there was a safety recall for the model I had, but they said there wasn't one. I find it hard to believe that I'm the only person who had this problem before, and Sharp did nothing to make things better. I'm on my third Panasonic microwave, which tends to last more than five years at a time, and when they fail to work properly, they just don't work. I will continue to trust Panasonic and will never trust Sharp again. I can't afford to risk my house burning down while I'm asleep or away from the house.
