Sharp manual timer microwave
Good value and easy to use. Timer not easy for trying to time in part minutes but we knew it was manual when we bought it.
Very simple to use.
Very simple to use with a practical menu and different power settings and eco mode when not in use.
Have a fire extinguisher nearby
Bought in April of 2020. Used sparingly for two years (popcorn, pudding etc). Now shoots flames and sparks from the side. Lucky I was nearby.
Spend extra and get a better unit. Buy once, cry once.
SHARP 900W Solo Digital Microwave Ove
This was ordered in error as once it arrived we realised that it did not have the grill.
Otherwise it was as expected when buying kitchen white goods that are pretty well established items. Would be nice if a Microwave Cook book could be included. Overall, it would do what it says in the box.
Small full metal easy to clea
This one has it is a metal no grill one, and it is really easy to clean it properly without any resistance/corner that stop you to clean it up. It is going to have almost two years already!!. The power (800W) looks more like 900W or 1.000W.
It is big enough to put a usual big plate inside and tall enough to get a full chicken (but a bit tight to put also a microwave cover on the big ones).
The time control a bit weird at first, but you get the trick very soon.
It stops working after a while
When I first got this microwave, the worked fine, I loved it. Then suddenly I try to use it and it just rotates without heating up.
So I wrote to Amazon and got a replacement.
Well guess what? 2 months later, the replacement has also stopped heating up.
Very disappointed. These things should last for years.
Super Little Microwave
We are really impressed with this compact microwave. It is very powerful & heats food very evenly. Easy to clean & easy to use. Definitely very happy to recommend.
Good value for money
Simplistic operation, it needs longer to cook than my previous so not quite as powerful. But good value for Money.
Good product but it was dropped and dented when arrived
Good product but it was dropped and dented when arrived
Cheap and does the kob
This oven does the job, has the most basic functions and it’s not the strongest in terms of power but it does the job and it’s value for money.
It’s fine for it’s price
I’m a pensioner and I have stopped cooking for myself. I only use it to heat up my frozen meals . I like the simplicity of it but the writing on the timer knob is quite difficult to read and understand. I think a touch pad would suit my tricky eyesight better .
It is easy to keep clean and serves it’s purpose.
The microwave is exactly what you expect. Well made but with the usual issue of using knobs that mean it’s difficult to put on for short periods of time.
An ok machine
Does what it was bought for well.
It could be better with easier and clearer settings,very dark
Nice and compac
Nice and compact, easy to use and well packaged with fast delivery.
Good produc
Need to press the microwave button on every use which is a bit annoying. Otherwise good value for the price.
Timenot easy to read
The timing knob is not very easyto read as unlike my old micro the time intervals are not consistent with the actual time but get narrower in space as they elapse.
Brillia
Compact, looks good, easy to use, ie: idiot proof, good price. Just needed one that didn’t need brains to use and this is it. Would recommend for someone like minded, not technically minded that is.
Pleased with purchase
The one issue with this is the load ding. Despite considerable research I’ve not been able to find out to reduce loudness or switch sound off unlike with earlier models
Small and powerful
This is tiny but works very well- I would recommend if you’re trying to fill a small space
Nice easy to use micro
Perfect little microwave,easy to use,no fiddly digital buttons just turn the knob to the amount of time you wanna cook for.,worth what I payed.
It's a nice looking microwave.
There is a slight smell as others have said, I’m presuming its cos it’s new. Does wot it says on the box
Does what it says on the ti
Very well packaged. Good value for money and being white is easy to clean as you can easily see if you have missed anywhere. It was slightly noisy but this was rectified by putting a sweety jar on the top. First rate at cooking/heating and defrosting food.
Microwave
Liked the compact size.
Outer shell is covered in plastic which has quickly become snagged on regular use buttons – already looking slightly dowdy!
Instruction leaflet not very comprehensive – have had to guess how some operations work!
Best I’ve had for years
High-powered and a good size. Big enough to steam a large bowl of vegetables.
Simple controls — you just turn one dial for the power setting and another for the cooking time. You can set it going, then adjust the power level or cooking time with no need to stop and restart.
What I like best about this microwave oven is its absence of annoying features:
* No beeping digital touchpad
* No pointless pictures of chicken legs, pizza slices or potatoes
* No clock to reset every time there’s a power blip
Best of all, it emits a single ‘ping’ when the cooking time has ended. My previous microwave oven would beep three times, then repeat at regular intervals, until I did something with it.
Whilst this is exactly what I was looking for, if you want to time your cooking to the precise second, this is probably not for you.
Average
Good price but i’m not keen on the buttons. There is no feel to them and they are quite small. The main button (start +30 seconds) is already marked when it is pressed with your fingernail. Overall it is okay for the price but I would not buy this brand again.
Great basic microwave which also looks good
We don’t want to roast chicken or cook a three course meal or having to enter weights and half a dozen functions to start cooking. This microwave does exactly what you need with two knobs, jacket potatoes, soup, milk etc. simply and efficiently sorted. Our last Sharp microwave lasted eighteen years.
Could be bette
It works and is easy to use. I personally don’t like that the metal case can move out of position when carrying this product. Also it makes a terrible slam sound closing the door. When running it’s quite noisy.
So good & easy to use
We wanted a no fuss microwave with straight forward dials, not fancy keypads etc. This fits the bill nicely. Several sizes to choose from including the one we wanted, works a treat, so simple. We showed it to our elderly parents, who bought one too, then my brother also bought one & all parties are happy. If you want a straight forward, no fuss microwave from a name you can trust, this one has got to be worth a try.
Excellent performance and can see what's cooking!
This was a replacement for an earlier model Sharp microwave which cooked quickly and evenly. Unfortunately a heavy window mesh and inadequate light made it impossible to monitor food being cooked so one couldn’t see whether milk was boiling over. It also had a clock which ran slow and couldn’t be read in bright light. This model solves these problems with a much brighter light (now LED) and an accurate and visible in all lighting clock/timer in a nice shade of blue. Cooking performance can’t be faulted.
Excellent product the only thing is the clock illuminates but the rest of the panel doesn’t so hard to see otherwise I would’ve gave it 5 out of five.
Powerful and a good size.
It’s straightforward to use although the touch pad controls can be temperamental. Also it doesn’t feel as solid as our previous microwave (a 900 watt DeLonghi) on which the door closed quietly but with a reassuring ‘clunk’, whereas the Sharp door closes with a very loud metallic ‘slam’ sound and the turntable is noisier. (I suspect both these issues are due to the metallic construction). Having said that, it cooks quickly and evenly and has a much larger interior enabling it’s use for larger quantities and bigger cookware.
It still represents excellent value for money and would be ideal for the larger household.
Manual better than electronic
This Sharp manual microwave oven has just two controls: power level and clockwork timer. Easier and more controllable than my costly, unreliable electronic type that had 12 confusing buttons / dials. Glad I chose a manual type for both my kitchens.
Adequate.
Adequate. Hard to set an exact time with the analog timer.
Nice microwave
Smaller than my previous one which was 900 watt, I opted for this as many of the microwave food my son likes is down on the box to cook at 800 watt, so this is ideal. Saves having to work out the wattage on an older model. Slowly getting used to using it, slightly more complicated compared to my previous one. But I’m sure I will beat it before long. This model does popcorn which I have’nt tried yet, jacket potatoes done to perfection, hot drinks and even a plate warming setting. Looking forward to seeing what else it can do.
Superb Compact Microwave
Needed new one looked through Amazon and this caught my eye.
It’s a great microwave that’s simple to use with turning nobs, not confusing digital flight deck technology touch screen panel.
Easy to clean too.
It’s perfect for what I need it for, the basics like defrosting, heating and re-heating food etc.
It is a micro micro lol as it is smaller than most. This for me is ideal as have limited space in my kitchen. Just be aware of the measurements given before buying.
I do think its a bit pricey for a basic microwave but it is a well known brand so I guess you pay for the brand name in this case.
Yes!! I would recommend!
Sharp by name...
There was an uncovered pointy bit (I think it was the end of a screw) underneath mine. I discovered this when it scratched my new kitchen worktop when I put it down, so I was not impressed by the quality. Other than that, the dial seems a bit inexact for short times and once or twice has cut out early on these (which tend to be what I use my microwave for most days – pretty much anything under a minute seems ropey).
That being said, my last microwave at a similar (cheap) price point was a Daewoo and while that one had nifty controls and a digital timer it also pretty quickly started cutting out due to overheating whenever I tried to cook something from frozen or half cook baked potatoes and wouldn’t restart till it cooled down – it didn’t last long before this started either! I would take a bit of imprecision over that any day (hopefully this one will last better – although it has just been a month so far). It has worked pretty well otherwise, and looks nice sitting in the corner of my (scratched :,() kitchen counter.
Does the job, but why the bright light?
Does the job, easy to use. I’m just a bit mystified as to why the time display is so bright. It illuminates the kitchen. There is an eco setting that switches it off, but it’s a bit of a palaver because you have to open and then close the door, then press the button within so many seconds. Not sure how much electricity it saves when you use the setting at night, but it could be made a lot simpler with a single button press.
Microwave
It’s Best Buy we got from Xmas vouchers and very easy to use
Does the job
Does the job but there is no timer as such and can be quite hard to work out the time. Value for money as it is very fast and economical to use.

Great product easy to use nice item for a very reasonable price
Overall I'm happy with this purchase and recommend it.
Very happy with this purchase, only thing that could be improved perhaps is a bit more room to place a tall mug in it. Struggling to use microwaveable rice bags as they touch the ceiling and it doesn’t rotate propery.

Nice appearance, simple, affordable
I bought this for my elderly parents to replace their previous microwave which malfunctioned. They find it easy to use and have had no problems with it (touch wood).
Excellen Microwave for Small Kitchens
I’m really pleased with this microwave so far so all fingers crossed that I feel the same way in six months time. At present I’m delighted at how precise it is and how easy it is to moderate the power. I purchased my previous microwave a couple of years ago and at that time the range for small size on offer was extremely limited and what I purchased proved to be a poor choice. Much more on offer now and I am much happier with this oven.
Great machine
I have had this for a week and it seems fine although I only use it for reheating food, occasionally defrosting and heating milk and sauces.
It’s not digital and I find it easy to use.
Perfect for simple cooking and defrosting
Does exactly what I bought it for viz: heating up meals and defrosting frozen food. I probably wont be using all the different programs. It is marginally smaller than the one I had before but my dinner plates fit in (just).
All in all a good investment for the price.
Very pleased with my purchase.
The product I have purchased does everything I want it too.
Good value solid microwave I can fit my plates in!
Having been used to a good but less powerful machine that was smaller this microwave has become a firm favourite – it looks good and have had no problems with it – where I was having to cook some things separately before now I can cook more in because of the larger size.
A good buy I certainly do not regre
No light when you open the doi
This is very good value for money with a defrost ability on one side and cooking the other. Unfortunately there is no light when you open the door so replacing the plate after washing can be a bit hit and miss
Arrived in 36 hours
An identical updated replacement for my decade old purchase that finally went BANG last Saturday. Only difference being a new black panel and silver dials, as opposed to white. Arthritic hands means keeping things familiarly easy to use, and this one is. Moderately different settings that forget to say the watts. So l wrote them down and stuck them on the wall. They’re listed in the manual. Oh yes, it does 800, 620, and 440. I’ve used it once yesterday on arrival, does what it says on the box, that’s good enough for me.
Basic microwave ove
This is a basic microwave oven that does the job and is value for money. Easy to use, no fiddling with a lot of buttons. Fits into a small space so does not clutter the kitchen worktop.
Easy to use
Easy to use , and got it at a bargain price on a black Friday deal
It does what it says
It’s a mirowave what more can I say? It’s a bit fiddley as I’m used to digital but I’m happy with it.
Marvellous Microwave
I purchased this item during the black Friday deal so it was rather cheap. The product is a nice size and is easier to use. It has the features that I was looking for as well as a few others. The product itself is smaller than the previous one I had but that suits me fine.
Does what it says on the tin!
Excellent replacement for a Daewoo on a caravan. Perfect fit.
Simple to use
Very easy to operate as the lady is in her 80s and didn’t want anything complicated. Thank you
OK, but hard to read and gets very we
It works fine. It’s a reasonable price. However, 1 – everything I do in there leaves a lot of wetness which needs wiping out, Far worse than any other microwave I have ever had. 2 – although easy enough to use, the controls are not backlit so you can’t read the except in good light.
Nice digital microwave
Works perfectly well and easy to use, push button controls and easy to clean. The controls appear to time out and cannot be used until the door is opened, this happened after overnight. Must be a safety feature but did make us think it was broken as we needed to adjust the clock and couldn’t, no buttons worked until eventually we opened and closed the door.success.must see if it mentions this in the manual,,,,,but hey blokes never read the manual until something is wrong do they, well I don’t!
Suggest that after every use the inside of the microwave is dried with kitchen towel as condensation is the worst enemy and it will cause trouble with flaking paint in the future, if you don’t do this step. Takes a couple of minutes but worth it!
what I wanted
I wanted a simple microwave as I only use it for defrosting rice or heating up soup occasionally.
The only issue is if you want it for a short time like 30 sec you’ll have to set the timer over 1,2 min and you open the door to stop.
It’s quite small inside so I can’t fit a dinner plate but I knew before buying it and I don’t need to do it so that’s not issue (just for your reference).
I’m happy with the purchase.
On 2nd unit within a few weeks
Ist one turntable went wrong within a few weeks, on second unit now so waiting to see how long this one lasts, Other thing the control buttons are quite hard tp push, and would recommend that they fit a control panel thats lights up as is difficult to see if in a darkish area.
Very good
Works excellent ,, looks very nice .. great value for the price
15 month old and knackered
Good microwave to start gave up ghost yesterday 15 months old
Microwave works well
I have no complaints with the action of the microwave but I have only had it for a couple of months and there is definitely a discoloration developing in between the glass panes on the door which I cannot remove. I would probably not buy this product again.
Easy to use and nice desig
The microwave is easy to use and has a nice design. It has enough internal space for what I use it for which is basically cooking vegetables, heating tinned beans, peas, soup etc., and the occassional micro meal.
The negatives are that the unside gets very wet so you have to wipe and dry it straight away as the instructions advise not to leave the door open.
The front of the microwave (the door and displays) seem to be made of plastic so feel a bit cheap, however it doesn’t spoil the look or functionality.
The
Simple to operate basic microwave ove
I wanted a microwave oven with two intuitive control knobs and adequate power. Simply, What power? and How Long? I did not want a grill and I did not want a complex membrane pad where I would need to put my glasses on and have to press it multiple times. Given these main requirements this oven is perfect. Given this basic specification I consider it to be excellent value for money.
When it comes to minor niggles, although 21L appears to be a popular size for microwaves it feels a little on the small side. Also the inside is painted dark grey which makes it pretty gloomy other than when it is active when the light comes on. Door opening spring is very effective but a little on the “robust” side. All in all though, it’s fine.
The best price and quality so fa
Easy to use and clean, value for money.
Many programs are there.
Good but not as good as the older version of this microwave
A bit smalled than the predecessor and the glass plate inside is easy to knock out of mounting and then fiddly to get back. Overall, good but feels cheaper then our older version of this model
Great microwave
Great little microwave, easy to use and does the job. My only gripe is that after reading the reviews saying that it’s big enough for a large dinner plate is that it does take round ones but not big enough for our square ones.
Pretty good value for branded basic microwave
Pretty good microwave for the value, heats up food well, compact and well designed for those that want a standard microwave without the additions of fancy grills and oven facilities. Only down side is that the knob (time) does occasionally get stuck when u only want heat for 20 sec or so the bell doesn’t always ring. Apart from that it’s pretty good and does what it suppose to do.
Easy to use
Nice product easy to use turn the dial for 10 seconds on high or 1min on low that’s what you get , not pressing buttons with confusing digital numbers flashing , good produc
Great for one perso
Great value microwave which I got through Amazon warehouse. As such it was considerably cheaper than the main site.
I can’t see any issues with it. It works well and is perfect fit me as a single person. Large plates are a bit of a squeeze to fit into it though as the microwave is not big, but it slotted nicely into the limited space I have in my counter.
The power button and function buttons are basic and straightforward to use.
The power level at 900 heats the food quickly.
It’s perfect for me and I think it was a good buy

Super item
Great price for an easy to use compact size microwave.
A brilliant little microvawe
It’s smaller than the microwave I’ve had in the past, but works perfectly well. My large dinner plates still fit in it, it warms up fast with a fairly powerful 800watts. Plenty of options to choose from, warming up food, defrosting etc it does all that it says. Very convenient in a busy household with children.
Easy to use, easy to clea
This microwave was purchased to replace one that had to be discarded due to the level of rusting. I was keen to find one that had no enamel and this one is all stainless steel.
So far it appears to be very good. It is quite powerful at 900 w and the settings are very simple to use, also easy to clean.
My only criticism is that it would have been useful to have a cookery book and better instructions on use.
Microwave oven lamp only be on during work
I like this microwave oven because it’s just a simple operation switch. only the power levels and times switch. Easy to use and easy to cleaning. The price is okay.
But I don’t like that light in the microwave, it’s dark when you open the door. the light only be turned on during work. this funtion is not good.
Small but perfectly formed
Great little microwave oven….manual settings none of all these led lights and sirens..just a nice subdued dink sound at end …unless you open door before end…”simples” to use and hope it lasts like my last sharp microwave which was 32 years used on an almost daily basis
Good microwave for good price
The microwave is good and has all the functions mentioned. But it looks bit plasticky from the outside.
Thats why 4 stars otherwise everything is good.
Good value microwave but check the sizing.
Nice reasonably priced microwave. Easy to use and quite stylish. My only problem is it is smaller than I thought but that was my fault for not checking the exact size when ordering. Just about fits in a good size dinner plate but nothing bigger than that.
Worth every penny
Easy to use and slightly bigger than my last one. It does need its own space with plenty of ventilation around it but I love it, wish I’d changed my old one sooner.

Wouldn't buy agai
This microwave is a night mare it’s constantly full of water in the bottom after use, so after use I have to wait till the next day for it to all run down sides
A microwave that does what it says on the bumph
Brilliant- does the job it was bought for – and does it excellently
Microwave - better with less options. No I’m not old.
A very good product but why do I have to select microwave first then select the option over oven and all the others. I bought a microwave so this should be the default. Next will the tech team at Sharp will default WiFi enabled as the default. Good product team, but less is more – more or less…
Does what it does
Easy to use. But extremely small inside. My other one was small but thus is a lot smalle
Nice design, but a bit clunky.
A bit clunky.
And the door springs open, make sure no one stands behind it.
Nice design, nice and spacious inside. Just the door opening and buttons can be a bit hard for new users.
Microwave
Manual settings, so easy to use and keep clean. Much better than a digital one. I love it ! ! !
hard to set an exact time
This does its job as a basic microwave well, ideal if you don’t want the many options offered by others that you’d never use, and easy to use twist knobs. One problem – the timer setting twist knob is low down, so the markers are hard to line up. Being close together it’s difficult to set an exact time. At normal kitchen side level you have to bend sideways to see them..Also the timing starts as soon as you start twisting the knob rather than letting you set the time then press ‘go’, so actual accuracy is almost impossible.
Does it matter? Well, many ready meals specify an exact time e.g. 2.5 minutes, but the best you can do is 3. With higher settings, this does not matter, but with only a couple of minutes it could be important.
So, generally fine but avoid if you are short sighted or arthritic!
Simple to use!
We all love our new microwave, it’s made us realise how bad the old one was! Easy to use, much quicker than our other one. Highly recommended!
Top Job
This microwave does what it’s meant to do and it is very simple and easy to use. It took me three years to use our old microwave because it was complicated. I used this the next day after arrival
Dark interio
This microwave is exactly what I wanted, uncomplicated and a good size. The only reason I gave 4 stars, is because the interior is dark grey and I thought it was going to be white. Unfortunately, there was no mention of the interior colour in the description. Good microwave and looks very nice in my kitchen.

Great value microwave
Basically this product is very good, looks very good and works well. My only criticism is that there are no half minute marks so if you want say 3 and a half minutes you have to guess.
Sharp YC-MS51U-5
Thank you for the delivery of the Sharp MS5MS5-U 900 W Microwave oven. It took me not that long to know how to operate it It is perfect.
Got this last year when my old microwave decided to suddenly not heat.
It’s very easy to use, and the tea option is handy for warming up a cup that’s gone cold.
It loses a star though, due to the sides getting warm and the settings panel bubbling. The weird thing is that the panel practically did this overnight. If it was a few years old, fair enough, but it suddenly did this after about 10 months. That wouldn’t stop me recommending this though, as the pros outweigh the cons.
Good inexpensive microwave.
I got this microwave as a replacement for an old one that was wearing out and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something that doesn’t get used very often.And this Sharp microwave fits the bill very well it’s basic it doesn’t have a display just a nob but if you want to defrost anything it does the job very well,it’s also well made and unlike some of the none brand stuff out there you can tell it’s a quality bit of kit.So if you are looking for a small cheap microwave (it would be perfect for students) you can’t go far wrong with this.
Really easy to use ideal for my elderly Mothe
This was a replacement microwave for my mother. She really liked it as it was very easy to use and very easy to clean. She gets confused with new things but has managed to operate this one with no problems.
