Sharp KB6524PSY 24 in. 1.2 cu. ft. Built-In Microwave Drawer Oven

Works great! I was concerned in fitting this in an IKEA cabinet but it fit perfectly in their 24" cabinet with a few modifications First 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 picture And 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.

I was an early adopter of this oven, buying serial no. 673 some 18 years ago. I moved to a new home and bought another because we love it. A minor manufacturing glitch with a loose power connecter shouldn't have happened, but it's a great product. Now on our third home construction project, we bought another without hesitation. After heating something like a tureen of hot soup, one can safely lift it with both hands up to counter height *much* more safely than with a countertop or over-the-range microwave. Highly recommended for aging in place scenarios from a safety perspective alone, but more than worth it from a convenience standpoint. Sharp got this one right, and I'm happy to give it an enthusiastic recommendation.

And what’s more, the microwave functions properly and quietly. The various cooking options are easy to follow and match up perfectly with the results we have experienced. No more stretching upward and dragging out hot dishes from a microwave over a stovetop. Simply push Open, hum a few bars and then lift the bakeware up and onto a counter. See what you’re doing without danger of being burned. Also no danger of dropping and breaking hot dishes or the glass top on a stove. (I’ve seen that happen before.) No spills because of tipped hot dishes. What can I say? We love it. Incidentally, we had ordered the same exact Sharp drawer microwave originally from our local big box store. Every day we received an email that delivery was delayed by a day … for a whole month, and then they just canceled the order on us. When we ordered from Amazon, we were given a four-day delivery date. The microwave arrived at our door on time and was operating in our kitchen that afternoon. Love, love, love.

First of all. I want to comment on Amazon’s delivery to the room of your choice. This is a fantastic service. So very helpful. If you’ve shopped for a microwave locally, then you’ve seen delivery charges from $50 to $125. This was shipped FREE. Plus, the price was about $5 less than Lowe’s and Home Depot The microwave itself is or has been perfect. We love it. No complaints Thank you Amazon.

This is actually a PSY, and not a PS model number. I checked with the seller to make sure it was a PSY. After speaking with SHARP's customer service, I was told that the PSY was an updated version of the PS. That is what I was looking for. I purchased a PS in 2015, and that model was plagued with issues with its Magnatron tube. We experienced the same thing a month ago...the magnatron tube stopped working..it 'popped', so I had to junk the whole $1000 microwave. I have a cabinet hole cut out in a kitchen remodel in 2015 that fis the PS, and was assured by SHARP customer service that the PSY would also fit. It does, and looks and works exactly the same. Let's hope that the PSY lasts longer than 5 years for the price. I wouldn't have purchased this same thing if another drawer microwave would fit into my cabinet hole. The PS was a great microwave when it worked, but I feel that 5 years is too short for an expensive microwave to break, one that was used only once a day max. I'm hoping that this is not another $1000 5-year investment. Otherwise, I love this microwave!

Be very wary of buying this microwave oven. It gives me no pleasure to write this review, because I have been fooled three times with these products. Ten years ago I bought the first one, thought it a brilliant idea and would save kitchen counter space. That was partially true...it did save counter space. This past year I bought a third one, because the first and then the second had lasted only an average of three years. Felt I had no choice because the custom cabinetry would have a gapping hole where the microwave belonged. The third lasted a few months, purchased September of 2024 and by January of this year it was making a loud buzzing sound. Contacted Sharp and they sent out a repair service ... parts had to be ordered and three visits from the service person to get it fixed. Being as three of the main components of the microwave were ruined, I asked that instead of a repair we get a replacement. That was denied. We did not have a working microwave for over 5 weeks. March 13th the microwave blew arced, flamed and blew a small hole in its top when I had it on a one minute reheat of a biscuit. Several back and forths with Sharp, photos provided, description of the event, more than once and ultimately was told that Sharp would do nothing because it was caused by the microwave not being kept clean. The microwave was clean. Since then I have found that Sharp lost a class action lawsuit stating that certain of their microwave drawer ovens contained an issue that caused arcing through the waveguide which could cause the microwave to malfunction. Sharp paid over $103 million to class action members. There have been, also, numerous complaints to the Better Business Bureau.

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 UPDATE I 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 UPDATE I'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.

My Sharp drawer microwave is so much more than I even hoped for. It is convenient. The button to open and button to close OR easy pull to open or easy nudge to close and it finishes opening or closing by itself! Love that! I had to REPROGRAM myself to go easy to get it opening or closing, then let it finish all by itself. I was impatient because it takes 2 seconds rather than 1/2 second that I used on my previous microwave to jerk it open or slam it shut. It's good for me to slow down for 2 seconds! There are more single cook options than I have used yet. I really like the push START once to get one minute cook time, 2 pushes for 2 minutes, etc. Can do the same to add a minute while cooking. SENSOR REHEAT and SENSOR COOK buttons are useful, but as in prior microwaves, I have to still keep a check on how it's cooking. It seems to cook evenly, but I probably will get a windup turntable if I can still find one. It holds a 9"x13" pan with room to spare. The 1000W power cooks fast. Love it! Love it! Love it!
