THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Sharp R-360EG is a 1.0-cu.-ft. countertop/home-use microwave with 1,000-W output and 120-V/60-Hz/13.5-A supply; color, input watts, sensor, tray size and trim remain unresolved.

Consider it for

Consider R-360EG if you want an exact 1.0-cu.-ft. Sharp countertop model with 1,000-W output, variable power and Compu Defrost. Verify the 120-V/60-Hz/13.5-A nameplate before installation. Check the full model label, actual color, glass tray size and original manual, because the historical Micoven/pale-green record does not prove those variants or a current Amazon offer..

Look elsewhere if

If confirmed finish, a known tray diameter, a model-specific trim kit or a manufacturer foodservice classification is necessary, compare a model with those facts documented. R-360EG's evidence is strongest for its stated size, output and 13.5-A supply.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The exact code is named in Sharp's family manual and separate catalog records distinguish R-360EG from sibling suffixes.
  • The manual lists 1,000-W microwave output, variable power, Instant Action controls and Compu Defrost.
  • The documented supply is 120 V/60 Hz/13.5 A, keeping output distinct from circuit requirements.

What to weigh up

  • The historical Micoven brand and pale-green finish do not have exact-model corroboration.
  • Input watts, sensor cooking, turntable size and trim compatibility remain unknown.
  • No exact current offer or manufacturer commercial-duty classification was established.

What the features mean for you

Keep Sharp R-360EG separate from sibling suffixes

Sharp's service manual names the R-360E family members R-360EG, R-360ES, R-360EW and R-360EZ, and the Encompass catalog lists those suffixes as separate codes. This record is specifically R-360EG. The frozen title's Micoven brand and pale-green description are not corroborated by those sources, so do not use them to override the Sharp identity or to describe other family variants.

Use the 1.0-cu.-ft. cavity and output carefully

Encompass identifies the exact R360EG as a 1.0-cu.-ft. home-use microwave, while the Sharp manual lists 1,000 W of microwave output. These facts help compare size and stated cooking power. They do not establish the glass tray diameter, so measure the actual plate and cookware before assuming a dish can rotate freely within the cavity.

Check the documented 13.5-A supply

The Sharp manual specifies 120 V, 60 Hz and 13.5 A for the single-phase grounded supply, alongside 1,000-W microwave output. It does not list a separate input-watt number in the cited specification excerpt. Use the amperage and supply for installation planning and the 1,000-W value for output comparison; verify the nameplate and full manual for the exact unit.

Consider its variable-power and defrost controls

The R-360E manual documents variable microwave power, Instant Action controls and Compu Defrost. Those functions provide control choices beyond a single timed high-power cycle. The reviewed exact materials do not establish a sensor-cook system, so leave sensor matching unknown instead of treating automatic defrost or an instant-start button as a sensor feature.

Keep a countertop description distinct from built-in fit

The exact-model parts catalog identifies R-360EG as a countertop microwave, and the service manual describes its operating and service details. Neither source names an optional trim kit. Use the original placement clearances for a freestanding counter location, and do not interpret the old product title or 1.0-cu.-ft. size as permission for a built-in cabinet installation.

Leave the pale-green and duty claims unresolved

The frozen title calls the unit pale green and assigns the brand Micoven, but the exact Sharp sources do not confirm those details. Encompass uses a home-use label, yet the reviewed sources do not provide an explicit manufacturer foodservice-duty classification. Preserve the brand as Sharp from the model documentation, keep finish and commercial duty unknown, and verify any current unit's label and condition.
