Sharp Introduces Five New Carousel® Countertop Microwave Models to the Canadian Market

Mississauga, ON – October 1, 2024 – Sharp Electronics of Canada Ltd. (SECL), a pioneer in microwave technology and a leader in the home appliance market, proudly announces the launch of five new countertop microwave models in Canada. Building on decades of innovation, the latest models offer advanced features designed to enhance cooking efficiency and convenience for Canadian households.

The new lineup showcases a range of sizes, styles, and features, all built with the consumer in mind. These models incorporate cutting-edge sensor technology, improved energy efficiency, and sleek, modern designs, perfect for every kitchen.

A Legacy of Innovation in Microwave Technology
Since Sharp introduced the world's first microwave with the Carousel® turntable technology in 1966, the company has remained at the forefront of microwave innovation. The revolutionary Carousel® turntable was a game-changer, providing even heating and faster cooking times, and quickly became the industry standard.

In 1979, Sharp took another leap forward with the development of an improved cooking sensor, controlled by a microcomputer. This advancement allowed the microwave to automatically adjust heating strength and time based on the food’s moisture levels, ensuring perfect results every time.

Further solidifying its reputation as a technological leader, Sharp introduced the world’s first microwave drawer in 2007, offering a groundbreaking solution for space-saving and seamless kitchen integration. This innovation gave consumers a new way to incorporate microwaves into their kitchens, without sacrificing style or convenience.

Introducing the New Carousel® Countertop Microwave Models
The five new models are designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s consumers, offering both premium features and versatility. Key highlights of the new lineup include premium Easy-to-Clean Stainless-Steel finish with stylish grey interior, LED light, convenient +30 Key, for Instant Start and adding time, easy to use Preset Buttons for popular foods and beverages, Auto Defrost for quick and accurate thawing, and Express Cook for single touch cooking for up to 6 minutes. The top three models add Inverter Technology, which maintains a consistent temperature for more even and precise cooking and defrosting, along with Sensor Cook Menu and four Melt/Soften settings, to perfectly melt cheese and even soften ice cream.
