Sharp KB-6524PS 24-Inch Microwave Drawer Oven, 1.2 cu. ft., Stainless Steel

Good product, works perfectly. Wish it came with more how to use instructions but it’s been fairly easy to figure out. I installed myself. Plug was already in place for a warming drawer which I replaced with the microwave. I read bad reviews & saw a few good ones before purchase. My purchase shipped quickly with no damage, I installed the next day and it’s been working great since. A little pricey but great product.11/2/2019 UPDATEI thought it would be helpful to others who, like me who felt a little, “on the fence” about purchasing this microwave. It is now just over one year later and the microwave is still purring along, just fine. We’ve kept it clean, so it still looks new and works perfectly. The 3rd photo is what it looks like after a year of use, and like I said, it’s like new!5/8/2020 UPDATEI'm back to let everyone know this little jewel is still purring along perfectly. Like I said in previous reviews, we have kept it clean and it still looks like new. This microwave is true quality. and still works just like new.

We just ordered our 2nd Sharp microwave drawer. Our last one was 7 years old and we used it constantly. Worth the price. No on the counter type for us. My husband was able to install it also. Great product.

I replaced the 13 year old one I had with this same model. I love that the drawer slides out at the touch of a button. My last one was in heavy daily use for 13 years, so when it was time for a replacement, I was happy that it was still available. It is reliable, fast, attractive, and easy to operate. Love it.

We bought the KB-6524 about 2 years ago as part of a kitchen remodel. Recently, we we began to experience the same problems reported by Trina above. Shortly after starting the microwave, we would hear a loud buzzing sound, crackling, arcing and occasionally a flash of light. It would not always happen - very unpredictable. I called Sharp, they said I would have to take it to a Sharp authorized repair shop and would have to pay all labor and any parts that were still not under warranty. Fortunately, I had done a search online for similar types of problems with this model, and I found Trina’s post here in Amazon. I printed it out, and took it with the microwave to the Sharp repair shop (65 miles away) and asked them to diagnose the problem. They called a few days later and told me that the printout of Trina’s complaint on Amazon helped them diagnose the problem. They said it would have to have 4 new parts installed, including the stirrer, and new antenna. None of these parts are under warranty and Sharp will not pay a dime toward the repair. It’s pretty clear by now that this is a manufacturing defect in the KB-6524 and Sharp should not only pay for repair but should recall all the units that are out there. This is a potential fire hazard. I will probably report this to the Consumer Safety Bureau. But for all people looking for a microwave drawer, I strongly recommend you go with Bosch or Dacor or one of the other top-line models. They cost more, but not if you include the repair bill you’re going to have to pay for your Sharp KB-6524 if you go that route. Avoid Sharp objects..UPDATE: When we went to pick up the microwave from the authorized repair shop, I asked to the electronics technician to explain to me what had gone wrong. He said the stirrer motor, antenna assembly (including clip and cover) all needed replacement, as mentioned in Trina's comments. HOWEVER, he also told me that Sharp had put a bulletin out about this problem to its authorized repair shops. So not only does Sharp know about this problem and is not covering it under warranty, but it is leaving a known safety problem out in the marketplace. I will be filing a complaint with the Consumer Product Safety Bureau.UPDATE 2: 3 months and a few days after the repair mention above, which cost $200, the same problem started all over again. This time with smoke coming out of the top and back of the microwave. The authorized repairer said we would have to pay again to have it diagnosed and fixed since it was out of the 90 day warranty period. We had a choice - spend another $200 or more on this piece of junk, or take it to the dump and get a new microwave. We chose the second option - who knows how many times this would have to be fixed. And frankly it is just dangerous for us and our pets. We chose a countertop microwave from a different vendor which does not have any of the questionable "stirrer" technology that is in the Sharp model. It fits nicely into the area where the Sharp was. We are very happy with it so far. . As for the Sharp - a 3 year old expensive Sharp microwave drawer will be taken to the county dump with a prominent sign taped to it: "DO NOT USE - FIRE HAZARD".

Works great! I was concerned in fitting this in an IKEA cabinet but it fit perfectly in their 24" cabinet with a few modificationsFirst The space where the cabinet attaches to the ikea rail system Is right where the power is supposed to be. As we already ran the power we had to move the attachment point lower by drilling some new holes for the bracker and just attached it to the wall off the rail (IKEA provides hardware attach off rail) if we caught this earlier we would of just used a recessed outlet and had the power moved elsewhere.The second modification was having to drill new peg holes for the shelf the microwave would sit on as the standard holes left us with a 3/4 gap at the top.Third the screws to attache the microwave barley do not line up with the edges of the cabinet so we had to add a 1/4 shim for the screws to bite into. Make sure to pre drill the holes. You can see hole close it is to working in the pictureAnd lastly this microwave is 5" shorter then IKEAs so you will need a 15" bottom drawer (or 10" and 5" or 3 5" drawers) vs the IKEA standard 10". If you did the customer drill hole a 15" will 100% fit.As far as the microwave we love not having to bend down to use it. Having no carousel make what you can put in the microwave much larger then a standard microwave. The only complaint is motorized close/open can be a little slow at times.
