I needed a powerful yet compact microwave for my kitchen, and the SHARP YC-GG02U-B fits the bill perfectly. It’s surprisingly roomy for its size and the 700W power cooks my meals quickly.
Only real negative is the cavity LED (the bulb that lights up when you open or use it) stopped working. It was purchased towards the end of 2021 and the bulb lasted around 2 years – maybe that’s standard, but seems less than previous microwaves. They are cheap to replace though.
The digital controls are straightforward and have all the settings I need for basic cooking and defrosting. The grill is an added bonus for when I want something toasted.
It has a modern look that fits well in my kitchen. Cleaning is simple too. For the price, this microwave is a great buy — I’d definitely recommend it!
The microwave grill works fantastic. The only off putting thing is that it doesn’t spin. But the design is nice and it looks and feel nice. The grill is perfect for melting cheese or just grilling other stuff. It’s not too loud and the outside surface doesn’t heat up while using it.
Love this and is very convenient for us as a couple but not big enough oven for a family. Everything about it is perfect but slightly disappointing that the grill doesn’t brown off cheese. Minor detail for us as we have a main grill.
I needed to find a compact, easy to use microwave for my mom. This microwave is perfect and much improved to my old microwave. Dishes heat up quickly. I’ve been cooking jacket potatoes and they come up a treat. It does steam up when cooking but leaving the door open is the perfect solution. Overall, excellent purchase.
Not a bad machine for the price does everything it promised it could do build quality is fine though I don’t think it will last for 25 years like my last one. Only real gripe is that the keypad is grey letters and symbols on a black background which in anything less than bright light can be difficult to impossible to read so people with sight problems may want to avoid this one.
However, it came with no instructions and thus you have to work blind. The controls don’t illuminate, so you need good light. The control buttons can be a bit intermittent to operate.
Despite the few drawbacks, I think it is a good machine.
I am very pleased with this Sharp Microware bought at a competitive price. Its solidly built and easy to use.
Its a big upgrade for me it will do a lot more than my old basic one. I am looking forward to a new learning curve all in I am very pleased with this purchase.
Also, although the grill seems to work well enough (without heating the top unduly), the supplied rack is quite low, so things like cheese on toast seem to take an annoyingly long time to cook.
Love this microwave had one before and changed it for a fancy one which I hated so bought this again easy to use easy to clean looks good, highly recommend.
very easy and simple to use. grill needs extra time if you place your food on the bottom plate but that’s cool, i prefer cooking slower for longer. i should imagine if you stick it on the raised grid thing it would probably burn the food but i havn’t tried that yet. really liking this cooker. i will report back on its longevity and reliability but for now it’s an easy 5/5 for me.
The grill/ micro wave combo settings are t clear set 1 2 and 3,now is 3 more grill and less microwave if the other way round .. used often I guess you just remember , I don’t use so often .. otherwise nice simple “turn the knob/ buttonless microwave:)
I got this for 106. A bit pricier than average but for looks and quality, I’m glad I took the plunge. I only wish it had a wheel for more convenient time selection. I’ve not used the grill yet.
Eco mode just turns the screen off.
There is an auto child lock on it so the buttons do nothing until you’ve opened the door and closed it again.
I wish there was a mute function. There is no need for microwaves to beep when finished. It’s obvious they’ve finished because the microwaving noise itself stops.
This one does 5 beeps but it’s not particularly loud so it’s not so bad.
There is a kitchen timer on it (because why not) which I’ve actually found pretty handy for setting alarms for other things like boiling eggs on the hob.
It would be beneficial to have a recipe/cooking time longer in the user manual.
But you have to use trial and error.
But well worth the money.
Easy to use, nothing fancy. Feels good quality and well buil
A bit short I though compared to previous microwaves I’ve had.
