Our take
Sharp R-72A1(SM)V combines a 25-L microwave cavity with a grill, eleven power levels and eight auto menus. Its decisive limitation for a U.S. buyer is the documented 230–240 V / 50 Hz supply, which does not match a standard 120 V / 60 Hz outlet. Keep the exact suffix and regional rating in view; the current sources support a tagged exact-model search, not a direct historical-ASIN link.
Consider R-72A1(SM)V only for a countertop household installation whose verified supply matches 230–240 V / 50 Hz. Its grill and presets do not offset an electrical mismatch..
Do not choose this model for a standard U.S. 120 V / 60 Hz outlet, a documented trim-kit installation, confirmed sensor cooking or manufacturer-classified foodservice use. A plug adapter does not change its voltage or frequency rating.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- Sharp documents a 25-L cavity, 315-mm glass turntable and silver mirror-door finish for the exact R-72A1(SM)V model.
- Microwave output is listed separately as 900 W, while the grill rating is 1,000 W; the two functions are not conflated.
- Eleven power levels, eight auto menus, child lock, timer and two-step sequences provide documented control options.
What to weigh up
- The documented 230–240 V / 50 Hz supply fails the finder's standard U.S. 120 V / 60 Hz supply requirement.
- Historical ASIN B00QNEU6Z6 did not verify a current exact offer, so shoppers must inspect a tagged model search result.
- The reviewed sources do not document sensor cooking or a trim kit, and the manual limits the oven to household food preparation.
Specifications and exact model details
The key details
| Model covered | R-72A1(SM)V |
|---|---|
| Capacity | Sharp states a 25-L cavity; the U.S. matching profile keeps cubic-foot capacity null rather than converting the source-native figure |
| Microwave output | The manual lists 900 W microwave output; Sharp separately lists 1,000 W grill output |
| Cooking approach | Eleven power levels, eight auto menus, child lock, timer and two-step sequences; sensor cooking is not established |
| Installation options | Countertop-only household placement in the manual; no compatible trim-kit route is documented |
| Finish and turntable | Silver finish, mirror glass door and 315-mm glass turntable; Sharp lists 513 × 306 × 429-mm exterior dimensions |

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
A regional microwave and grill, with the supply limit first
Sharp's exact model page identifies R-72A1(SM)V as a 25-L microwave oven with grill. The operation manual lists 900 W of microwave cooking output, while Sharp lists 1,000 W for the grill. Those are separate heating functions; they should not be added together or described as a 1,900-W microwave. The combination may suit a household that wants both functions in one countertop appliance, but the electrical rating must be checked before considering capacity or controls.
Match voltage and frequency to the actual outlet
Sharp documents 230–240 V at 50 Hz for this exact model. A standard U.S. outlet is 120 V at 60 Hz, so the model fails the finder's normal U.S.-supply requirement and must stay out of that recommendation path. A plug adapter changes plug shape only; it does not make voltage and frequency match. Consider this Sharp only where the installation supply is independently verified against the unit rating plate and manual. The general different-supply reminder is not evidence that an arbitrary supply is compatible.
Compare the cavity and tray in their stated units
Sharp lists a 25-L cavity and a 315-mm glass turntable. Keeping these source-native figures avoids suggesting a converted U.S. matcher value that the profile does not use. The tray diameter is a practical starting point for checking whether a familiar round dish can sit and rotate, but it does not establish the clearance for every rectangular pan or container. Sharp also lists exterior dimensions of 513 × 306 × 429 mm. Measure the intended counter space and cookware, and follow the manual's clearance directions rather than inferring cabinet fit from exterior measurements.
Treat auto menus as controls, not proof of sensor cooking
Sharp lists eleven power levels, eight cook and defrost auto menus, a clock and kitchen timer, child lock, and two-step cooking sequences. These named settings can help someone who prefers guided choices or combines microwave and grill stages. The reviewed exact-model sources do not say that the oven senses food moisture and adjusts a cycle, so auto menus do not establish sensor cooking; leave that attribute unknown. Sharp also lists a high rack, but the sources do not prove that a particular seller package includes it, so check the included accessories before relying on it.
Plan countertop household placement
The saved model manual directs countertop-only placement and says the oven is for home food preparation, not commercial or laboratory use. The exact-model sources do not establish a compatible trim kit, so this should not be planned as a built-in cabinet installation. Someone who needs a flush surround or equipment explicitly classified for foodservice should choose an exact model with that use documented. A grill function does not make the Sharp commercial equipment. Leave the required counter clearances to the manual and verify the actual installation instructions for the unit.
Confirm the suffix and Amazon destination
The historical source row names R-72A1(SM)V and carries ASIN B00QNEU6Z6, but the old Amazon page did not establish a current exact offer. Use the tagged search for the full R-72A1(SM)V model rather than assigning that historical ASIN as a direct product link. Before buying, compare the listing code and regional supply with Sharp's documentation and the appliance rating plate. This is a source-based review, not a hands-on test; it makes no claim about present price, inventory, seller, buyer ratings or warranty availability in the United States.
Compare for your needs
For a standard U.S. 120 V / 60 Hz outlet, choose a documented U.S.-supply countertop model from the matching paths. Consider this Sharp only after separately confirming a compatible 230–240 V / 50 Hz installation and exact unit identity.

Before you buy
Can I use this Sharp with a standard U.S. outlet?
No. Sharp lists 230–240 V / 50 Hz, which does not match a standard U.S. 120 V / 60 Hz outlet.
Is the microwave output 1,000 W?
No. The operation manual lists 900-W microwave output. Sharp's 1,000-W figure is the separate grill rating.
What capacity and tray size does Sharp document?
Sharp lists a 25-L cavity and a 315-mm glass turntable; those source-native measurements are retained in the review.
Does it have sensor cooking?
The reviewed exact-model sources list auto menus but do not establish sensor cooking, so that attribute remains unknown.
Can I install it in a trim kit or use it in foodservice?
The manual specifies countertop household use and excludes commercial or laboratory use; no compatible trim kit is documented.
Does historical ASIN B00QNEU6Z6 prove a current Amazon offer?
No. The historical page did not verify a current exact offer, so use a tagged R-72A1(SM)V search and confirm the suffix.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.

The decision
R-72A1(SM)V pairs a 25-L cavity and grill with documented presets, but its 230–240 V / 50 Hz supply keeps it out of ordinary U.S.-outlet recommendations. Confirm the full suffix and rating plate before considering the tagged model search.
