I just bought a Sharp Microwave Oven Model R-248J(S)


Finally I came to a decision. On 7 November 2008, I bought a Sharp Microwave Oven Model R-248J(S) to replace the 18-year-old Sharp Carousel Microwave Oven model R-7H52 which came the end of its service life on 23 September 2008.

Some people say that microwave oven is bad for health. I would find out more on this topic. If you have any feedback, please let me know.

800W Powerful Output Power for Quick and Efficient Cooking
New Express Defrost Key with 3 Menus
New Pictorial Key Sheet for Easy One-touch
