Pros

It have a very sleek and modern look. It is stylish, reliable and has many more functions than your average microwave. You need to read a manual folks to get the best from the product.

Sensor reheat function is fantastic. Reheated foods come out the perfect temperature. Steak, steamed veggies and potatoes; all different densities.

We have the sharp stainless built in faceplate kit and were impressed that this microwave was able to use the same kit. The fgm feet fit the sharp trim rails correctly. The only noticeable difference is that the dacor display panel is backlit in blue....  Read More

Quality


The flexible setting of this 1200watt micro is great for all types of food.


This microwave has plenty of power to heat quickly, yet the sensor reheat function is fantastic.


We purchased this in 2008 and its now broke, we have it built-in using the sharp rk51s27 trim kit, this trim is designed for a ...  Read More


5 or 19 inch high trim, but this will not fit our cabinet.

Price


The price from amazon saved us almost $80 over the best retail store price.


We purchased the sharp r-530es for only $306.


A new display and control board was nearly the price of a whole new microwave.


I purchased the sharp r-530es for $199 and it fits perectly inside my viking trim kit.

Shipping


And it arrived, even during the christmas season, much earlier than predicted.


Works as described and was promptly shipped.

Packaging/appearance


Looked beautiful and elegant, but was damaged during transport, thus had to return it.

Competitiveness


The dacor model also shares the same trim kit as the sharp so you can just swap out the sharp for the dacor.


Finally, be aware that sharp makes most of the microwaves on the market and lets other brands label them as their own.


During a chance conversation with an appliance repair person, he told me that sharp manufactured the dacor and might be cheaper!


A local sales rep told me that sharp made all of viking microwaves and tht the r-530es is the exact same microwave.

    The only noticeable difference is that the dacor display panel is backlit in blue

    The one downside is that the dacor costs significantly more 699 for the privilege of having the dacor label on your microwave


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The sharp replacement smc2242ds costs 230 but requires a different trim kit which runs an additional 325 but is still nearly 150 less than the dacor model without the trim kit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Thats because manufacturers dont want to invest their resources factories equipment and labor in making lowermargin inexpensive appliances that lie outside of their primary product focus
