    Arrived in perfect time and condition.
    A bit long winded compared to my last one, but once you know what you’re doing, it’s very easy.
    Mostly just use the microwave option, as the grill works, but the microwave gets splattered.
    Done cheese on toast in it, and it did work.
    The Start button on the keypad is starting to bubble already though.

    Easy to use and clea
    Great value for the money. Easy to use. Smaller than I expected but there’s not a lot of choice if you want a 800 watt microwave. Does the job.

    Thus far this has been really good. I have reused the grill function but everything works fine. It’s easy to use and looks good too. It could do with being a centimetre talker inside to accommodate some of my ready meals. But apart from that I’m really pleased with it.

    Makes a not bad attempt to distribute the heat to the pot during heating. 50% in the middle.
    “easy to use”, “easy to clean” and “value for money”
    It’s little difficult to use the Digital Touch Control

    In general I like this product. However I am a bit scared of grill option as I see smoke coming out. So I am a bit worried about my safety. Is this normal?

    Good Value
    Good little microwave.
    To get a “cook” for under 7 minutes you have to turn it all the way around and back again. If you dont all you are doing is defrosting. Isnt clear from looking.
    There are different heat levels and can be used to grill / half and half etc I havent tried those functions yet.
    But for what I require its the business.

    So far been a good microwave I took away a star because it’s not that easy to use right out the box it doesn’t have a 0-9 numerical pad… Instead it has 3 annoying buttons to set how long you need and the beeping while setting the timer is more annoying than having to go see my mother inlaw

    Nice roomy microwave, good power, simple to use.
    Technically it also has the ability to grill, like a huge toaster-oven. But we just use it as a good-sized microwave. The wattage is good, so it cooks things a lot faster than our previous microwave.

    We aren’t demanding microwave users, but it does everything we want.

    This is good value for money but there is a drawback. The control system Abel is not illuminated although the photos look as though it is. You need a bright light in the kitchen to be able to see it.

    Sharp Microwave oven.
    Although it works well it would be better if Sharp had included a cookery book. My only complaint is that the plastic film which covers the panel on the front is torn already and is coming off. I think that Sharp should make some adjustment to this model.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersAn Excellent Microwave
    Our 20 plus year old microwave broke down recently, so my mother decided to ask me to help her choose one. I instantly fell in love with this product because it is easy to use, has all the same functions and features in the same place, which is good for my mum, who suffers from a small bit of memory loss. However, the added addition of a grill makes this so awesome. A quick tip, if you want to make pizza, or pop the fish in the microwave to grill, use the mixed combination power, not Grill Only feature otherwise you will waste time and effort. After knowing the correct features and functions, this microwave is a pro from a top class Japanese company. Thank You!

    No precise timing.
    My previous Microwave had digital buttons and initially I found this microwave difficult to set for precise timings.
    However, I have now got used to it. I do feel that I maybe have to wipe up condensation too frequently.
    However, I realize that this is probably due to excellent sealing of the unit.

    Compact and User friendly
    This microwave replaced our old one which was getting rusty under the plate. The dimensions were perfect for the small space we have available. It’s extremely easy to use for defrosting and everyday cooking. The only slight negative is that the quick start button has to be pressed exactly in the middle which sometimes means having to have 2 or 3 go’s at getting it started. Perhaps if it was bigger it would solve the problem. Otherwise EXCELLENT! Also having a push button door opener is great so it can be opened one handed.

    Great little microwave for the price.
    Needed a small microwave and this fitted the bill. A little too small as it doesn’t fit a standard size dinner plate. It does do a great job though. The plastic wheels under the glass tray move around more than I would like and I’m always having to adjust them.

    Not a lot to say about a microwave, it heats up food well and also has a grill option.
    Bought this after having a 700W cheap microwave. It’s good value for the price, this 900W microwave heats up food a lot quicker than my old microwave. There is also a metal rack for grilling, and although I’ve only used it once, the grill does heat up food quite quickly. The controls are touchpad and easy to clean and doesn’t take up much more space than my old microwave, so it’s ideal for a small kitchen worktop. It also has presets for heating coffee, pizza and making popcorn.

    It works like a 700 watts instead of 900 watts
    I got this item because it looks great and it is huge for the money. I used it against my old 750-800 Watts microwave and it is not as good as my old one. I did try different settings and type of food or beverage and it was always colder than the old microwave.
    I am looking for something more powerfully than our old one and therefore i am going to return it back. I do recommended it if you are looking for a budget big 28l microwave.

    This microwave performs well as expected. I haven’t used the grill function yet so can’t comment on that. Easy to clean. Build quality seems good. One small issue is with the button design. Whoever decided to put the clock adjustment buttons next to the timer buttons needs to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror as it’s quite easy to press the clock adjustment button when adding cooking time, leading to all sorts of drama.

    Speed of delivery was excellent and I would recommend this item (with caveats).
    Being a ‘family’ of two (SWMBO and “him”), and with our ‘old’ microwave ceasing to function three says ago, ordered this – and it arrived yesterday.
    The manual was easy to follow – I (and “him”) now have another timer available in the kitchen :).
    My only regrets are that the microwave rice pack we used today was too tall, so I had to ‘flatten’ it slightly (and will be the same with any other micro rice packs) and the splash guard we had for our old microwave is too big.
    Otherwise (so far) wonderful.

    The inside plate was the same size as my old microwave, so I was hopeful the inside would be the same size. It’s a bit smaller, but all my plates and dishes fit, so that’s good. As it is a 900w and my old one was 800w, it’s a bit different but it’s easy to work out the different times.

    I bought this to replace another Sharp microwave which had begun to rust inside, but that was after 10 years at least. This has a grill element which I thought I would try. I mostly use a microwave for warming up, rather than cooking, and it doesn’t require a degree to work out how to programme it. It sits neatly on my work top without dominating it.

    So far so good, happy with the product but I would like to say that the buttons on the panel are not properly aligned with the action. E.g. if you press ON button at the middle, it won’t work unless you press on upper half of the button (and bit outside).This is not a flaw, just a suggestion to improve.

    Overall the product is what I needed. Just a couple of issues that have taken away a star. The door opening button is so stiff and causes the microwave to move every time I open the door which is also loud on closing too. But the biggest issue I have is the display panel is so hard to see at night it would be better either illuminated or in a more reflective paint.

    Only minor downside is the door doesn’t sound very solid when it’s being closed, just a bit tinny.

    Microwave
    Good microwave oven for the price only niggle is that the grill takes forever to grill bacon etc due to the fact that it goes on and off on the built in cycle and the grill rack needs to be taller so food is nearer the grill element apart from that I am happy with my purchase

    Big Capacity and easy to use.
    I wanted a big capacity microwave with a high energy. Didn’t really want the grill function but the price was good compared to other large capacity microwaves, so the grill is a useful bonus. However it does reduce the useable capacity in terms of height. once you twig that you have to press the “Microwave” button multiple times to get the lower energy settings it’s very easy to use. If you want to use multiple periods at different energy settings you have to open the door to change settings each time. Once you have finished, removed the food and closed the door, open and close the door again or, for some strange reason it will “ding” again after a few minutes. Disconcerting but not a problem.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGood Buy for £65
    It is very easy to use: It does jacket potatoes ,pizza in the microwave call up menus. It has a microwave timer; also a cook timer if you want to cook a range of items. Also grill & microwave combinations. I didn’t personally think that the grill was very effective ; ie a metal stand which you cannot put in a microwave! The grill stand should have been ceramic or heat resistant plastic ; able to withstand combined cooking.65 :- it was a good buy for the money ! The previous one was rusting around the door sill; might leak microwaves, so I got rid of it.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersAll good so far!
    So far so good. Lovely cheese on toast with no mess. Not sure I’d use the grill function for bacon or sausages (how would you clean up?) But fab for general browning.
    The only slight reservation so far is that the off/on control knob is hard to turn, relying on a strong finger grip and a rather slippery knob. Not a great combo. However, the controls are easy to understand. And if one overturns them accidentally I gather it’s ok to push them backwards…

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersReally great product.
    Really happy with the purchase, easy to clean, the grill is fast and the combi programs makes everything easier and faster.
    Fits in small spaces, looks really good and is lighter than my previous ones.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGood value microwave.
    A good looking microwave with timer and grill options which I have yet to use. Power strength is fine cooking most vegetables in 2 to 3 minutes. Easy to use with a good instruction booklet.

    Golden Review Award: 196 From Our UsersWhy must it beep so much?!
    My 3rd Sharp microwave. The 1st was a big combination job, brilliant and long-lasting; 2nd was also a combination, but didn’t last very long. This time I decided I only needed a very simple one, but it had to be big enough to take my 30cm dinner plates. Bizarrely, this combination one was 20 cheaper than the simple one, so I went for it. I haven’t used most of its features, but it works fine for simple heating up, that being all I need it for, but it beeps excessively! The door button is easy to use, and it opens gently enough. One has to press the ‘microwave’ button before entering a time, which is pretty annoying – it should default to microwave – but the start button does default to 30 seconds microwave, and one can add to that with the time buttons, so not too difficult once one gets used to it.
    It beeps every time I press any button, and five times at the end of the programme – and it won’t shut up if I immediately open the door, nor will it let me activate the Stop/Clear button while it’s beeping. If I neglect to take my food/drink out of the microwave, it beeps (twice) again five minutes later, which can be helpful, but it also beeps (twice) five minutes after I have taken it out! Why? What is the point of that? Mobile phones can be set for silent operation of keys, so why can’t we have a silent option on a microwave? (It should still beep at the end of the programme, but that’s the only beep I ever really need to hear from my microwave!) It is very annoying that I can’t use it quietly while husband is still asleep.
    An extra press of the Stop/Clear button removes the time display, to save energy, but it would be better if this were handled by a ‘no time display’ setting, rather than having to press the key again after every use.

    Golden Review Award: 47 From Our UsersReally large and even cooking/defrosting
    Pros
    Great defrost
    Easy to use
    Huge inside
    Easy to clean
    Even heat in food

    Cons
    Takes longer than my previous microwave though the heat is more even
    Grill is terrible – it doesn’t do anything, no effect even after extended recommended time

    Overall, this microwave is an amazing buy for the money, so long as it lasts ok. We’re happy with the capacity, the even cooking and the thorough defrost.

    With other microwaves it’s easy to just blast and go and you have to be very cautious not to leave things too long whereas this one seems so steady and reliable, for example I defrosted 10 sausages and within 20 all were evenly and completely done without scalding and mushiness which is great.

    The digital display is really easy to use – simply press the times you want in increments of 10 minutes or 1 minute, or in 10 seconds. I think the size may actually help with the cooking as there’s plenty of space inside. I’m really happy with this and glad I went with the reviews that make this the top selle

    Golden Review Award: 31 From Our UsersNewer model, easy to use
    Our old microwave, A Sharp 23 Lt, ‘died’ of old age. We decided to go for a 25 ltr and so bought this model, which also has a grill. it arrived sooner than expected and it didn’t take long before we were trying it out. It is worth reading the instructions before using it. We have not tried the grill out yet. It is bigger in size than our previous one but we are very happy with it.
