Some people say that mid sized microwave ovens lack the stylish looks and the heating power of their larger brethren, but the Sharp R-305KS 1100-Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven would take offense to that. This classy looking model sits comfortably on just about any countertop and its 23 automatic settings makes cooking and reheating a breeze. The Sharp R-305KS uses a 12 5/8” diameter turntable to evenly heat dishes inside its one cubic-foot oven. It helps prepare and reheat foods to perfection by using its defrosting, cooking, and reheating options, also including automatic settings for popcorn, softening, and melting.
The unit is only 20 ½ x 17 x 12 ¼ inches in size, and when compared to similarly sized models, the R-305KS’s 1100-Watt oven cooks faster and stronger. Sharp has consistently been known as one of the best microwave oven manufacturers when it comes to quality and features, and those who purchased the R-305KS agree that its options, power, and size were the biggest selling points. Some customers have complained that the microwave is a bit noisy while it’s working, though. A lot of power in a little size is what the Sharp R-305KS Microwave Oven offers, so you don’t have to make a lot of room to make a big meal.

Get The Scoop On These Microwave Ovens.
Customer reviews are a great way to research a product and find out if it truly delivers. Here are a few owner comments from Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven reviews.
What sold me on this Sharp originally was a review from another buyer. It noted that the interior cooking space is large enough for a dinner plate. This is true, and there’s still a little space to spare. The cooking options are well engineered and cooking is easy. There are many quick-cooking, re-heating, thawing etc. options pre-programmed so using it is easy. I wanted something that wasn’t as big as some of the standard sized ovens because of limited kitchen counter space.
I use stainless steel cleaner in a can to help keep this looking new (no smear marks). It wipes clean real easily. It seemed smaller than expected for some reason, but haven’t had to reheat anything that didn’t fit in it yet. That means more space savings on my counter. The specific buttons such as the popcorn button are right on time wise. No hot spots in our food like with some other microwaves.
