Sharp Microwave Size Guide for Jordan | Cartiva

A household of two or three people in Jordan is usually served by a Sharp 34 litre microwave. If you heat wide trays or want to brown a whole chicken, move to 43 or 62 litres with a grill.

Sharp in this catalog is a microwave line. The litre figure is cavity size, not the carton. Grill is a separate function and is not on every model.

The published models and what they do

The R-34CT(ST) is a 34 litre solo with membrane controls in silver, so it heats with microwaves and has no grill. The R-77(ST) is also 34 litres but adds a grill and digital controls. The R-45BR/BT(ST) is 43 litres with a grill and push buttons in silver. The R-562CR/CT(ST) is 62 litres with a grill and soft-button controls in white. Choose solo if you only reheat and defrost.

Capacity and function together

Figures come from the product names. Measure the shelf depth in your kitchen before a 62 litre unit.

How do you choose capacity?

• Count dishes, not only people: Two people heating a deep plate daily may be fine at 34 litres. A wide oven tray will not fit 34 litres even in a small household.
• Buy the grill only if you will use it: Browning needs the R-77, the 43 litre, or the 62 litre. The solo R-34CT will not grill.
• Leave ventilation behind the unit: A microwave exhausts heat. A cabinet with no rear gap, especially around 62 litres, heats a small kitchen.
• Match the front color: The 62 litre listing is white. The published 34 and 43 litre units are silver. That is a kitchen detail, not a performance difference.

Jordanian kitchens and power

Household supply is 230V, which suits these countertop units. In older Amman flats, check that the breaker can carry a microwave together with an oven or kettle on the same line. In summer, a microwave replaces lighting the oven for a short reheat and keeps the kitchen cooler. Larger cavities are heavier to carry up stairs in Irbid and Zarqa where there is no lift.

Microwave buying mistakes

• Reading 62 litres as suitable for every kitchen without measuring the shelf opening.
• Expecting browning from a solo model.
• Placing the unit in a closed cabinet with no vents.
