I live in a motorhome full time, so this gets a lot of use and near constant travel rattles and shakes. Still, it worked very dependably for four years.
Pros: it serves me well as my only oven and it's a microwave as well. On the broil setting, using the racks rather than a cooking tray, it serves as my BBQ as well. Efficient use of space.
Con: the over-range light is very dim so I have to supplement. Also, there are times when you do have to plan ahead because if you know that you will need to microwave something immediately after broiling something, you will want to have alternative heating methods at the ready so that your plastic microwave service does not melt. The white ceramic tray does discolor, but top can be restored with Soft-Scrub with bleach. Be very careful with the open/close button. We mickey-moused a solution after ours kept getting stuck when the door was closed. When we were more gentle with our closings, the problem stopped. The inside is stainless steel and is very hard to clean using manufacturer's instructions. The outside of the stainless steel unit it not stainless steel. It's silver plastic - something that is never made clear in spite of the increased price for what was sold to me as a stainless steel front.
My unit just broke. I'll be taking it out for an estimate and if needs, will replace it with an identical unit. I understand that this is a short life span for such an appliance, but I do think that constant travel may have had something to do with that. I would be disappointed if it happened in a permanent house.

I have owned 2 microwave convection Sharp Carousel's. One on the counter and one over the range. Both have lasted an extremely long period of time without any problems and were easy to clean. I believe my mom is on her 3rd in 25 years! I recently own a Kenmore Elite micro convection hood and 1) it will never heat to 450, 2) it takes a half hour to heat to 350 and 3) it died after 3 years!!! I recommend this to anyone looking! LOVE IT.

We bought the first one of these almost 4 years ago when we remodeled the kitchen. It has performed flawlessly as a microwave and convection oven. We did not use it as an over-range exhaust fan in that first installation.
I just ordered the second one for use above a small cooktop range in a small kitchen in a "mother-in-law" suite we're building for extended visits by family. I'm expecting the same fine performance.

I have been unable to find filters that fit this microwave. I ordered some through Sharp and they didn't fit. Sharp told me that I would have to get a service man out to install them. The service man could not install them and he called Sharp and was told that there was a design error and there were no filters available for this model. Sharp would not reimburse me for the expense of the service call. Otherwise, it is a great microwave/convection oven.

I've selected this model, because it is the only convectional microwave oven that fits my kitchen. Other models require some extra space in front of the microwave on the left side, to be able to open the door. It is not a problem for most kitchens, but if you have a deep cabinet to the left of the microwave that extends in front of oven, Sharp seems like the only option. Sharp has put a smaller door that starts about an inch from the left side of the microwave, so it opens freely.
So far I was not disappointed. I'm mostly using the microwave mode, convectional mode. It cooks well, and the menu is rather intiutive - what else do you need? Auto reheat works well and produces consistently good results. I was not getting very good result with mixed mode (oven + microwave) though.
There are some faults in this model, that I think Sharp should've done better, so it only got 4 starts:
1) The menu system could be better. E.g. the Start button on most microwaves also serves as 'Add minute' or 'Add 30sec', but here it would not do anything - one has to use dedicated 'Add minute' button. I got used to it, but my guests can't easily find this button.
2) The fan is very very loud. It has two speeds, but even with reduced speed, it is very loud. It does not look extremely powerful either.
3) The range light is generated by two small incandescent bulbs. I would expect energy efficient fluorescent lamps or LEDs for this high-end oven. They could've perfectly fit a long tube there, but have instead put old unefficient incandescent bulbs.
4) The interior is stainless steeel, but it is not very smooth, so it takes some effort to clean the microwave.
