It’s a microwave
It’s a microwave and does what it needs to do. Very easy to use and looks lovely, my favourite feature is the vents are in the side so I can put things in the top without it overheating
Microwave
I needed to replace my old microwave and went for this one, the price was extremely good, having tried out various options I have found it produces perfectly cooked food. Having the option to use various preprogrammed makes it very versatile and perform perfectly. It produces perfectly hot food on various powers. The stainless steel finish means it fits into the kitchen decor easily.
Simple to use.
Likes are small simple nice colour and above all easy to use. Turn on at mains. Set for cook defrost low and then set timer. It’s like having a clock with hands instead of one of the flashy led ultra bright things on the wall that glows like a X rated horror movie.
Nice looking little microwave, easy to use ,needs to be up against the wall as when you push door open button the microwave slides on worktop.
Quite and fits normal dinner plate inside.

This machine is not a all flags and whistles microwave oven which is basically why I bought it, I wanted a genuine microwave oven which is cook and tell it’s done, defrost and tell me it’s done, I’m very happy with this oven and it from sharp, which is recognised manufacturer and best but it didn’t cost the earth, I totally recommend buying this produc
the touch panel isn't that easy to use.
I think the touch screen could be easier to use is quite hard to press the the buttons in, and it’s not that obvious when you first use it and to adjust the timing.
there’s a nice finish to it and it looks easy to clean and the light inside is bright enough to see what’s happening.
We liked it and it is versatile and most efficient and my relationship with it might have continued for many years but 3 years down the line the internal paintwork (black enamel) has started to blister exposing bare metal below, which I cannot think is anything but UNSAFE.
I would like Sharp to inform me and prospective customers of this respec
Microwave
Bought this as a gift for my son .
He only has one complaint , the microwave has plastic feet so tends to slide when the door is pulled to open it . I have remedied this by cutting round pieces from a silicon cup cake case and placing these under the feet.
Microwave
Don’t like the fact that the light only works when the microwave is on and not when the door opens . Also there seems to be a big build up of steam which leaves the inside soaking wet . Could do with bigger vents .
Slightly smaller than my other microwave but does what it says on the tin. Does the job I need it to do no problem and looks good for the price. If you want a good value microwave that doesn’t break the bank this is the one
I love the product and description clearly states manual included, however it isn’t nd after many discussions I was involved in 3way conversation with amazon and Sharp and sharp have not rung me back as promised to sort sending me a manual. I do not have means to print and reading instructions on the phone is not practical. I am still waiting despite being promised a call from sharp 4days ago and it took 3 chat attempts to get assurances that have not been fulfilled. This may seem silly to most but as a person with disabilities, it is frustrating and still no resolve. Not happy!!
After reading alot of the reviews was a bit sceptical however generally I’m pleased with this microwave. Well made/finished good internal size simple to operate functions well and easy to clean.
Size is not as advertised and it’s a bit clunky and buttons can be a bit unresponsive but it easy to use and I’ve got used to it!!

SHARP YC-MS01U-B Compact 20 Litre 800W Manual control Microwave, 5 power levels, defrost function, LED cavity light – Black
Pros -1) Easy to use – just set the power and timer knobs. Theses are manual controls, not electronic so hopefully will prove reliable in the long term. If you like “uncomplicated” then this is for you.
2) Compact size so ideal in a smaller environment.
3) Appears well made and looks good.
4) Value for money.
Cons – 1) Internal light only comes on when cooking. All other times it is off.
2) Supplied with a Quick Start Guide leaflet which is very basic. You have to download a more comprehensive leaflet on-line.
3) No warranty details apart from ” Take unit to a dealer with proof of purchase”.
Wanted a similar microwave to the one I was replacing and found this as the same make only slightly smaller. It holds a large dinner plate so perfect for us. Controls are very easy to use and clear. We wanted one with seconds as some things we warm up only need 20 seconds and some microwaves only do minutes and that’s to long. We have now used it for four weeks and have no complaints as working well.
4.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward and Easy to Use
Excellent and easy to use microwave, with good volume and power range. It is straightforward to use. My only complaint is that the duration of the operation is difficult to set accurately as the controls are simple rotating knobs with no numerical digital gauges. The door is simply pulled to open, so no push button. However, these are the things that makes it easy to use.
So if you like things simple and easy to use, this may be one to consider.
Not the cheapest, but a good reliable brand – this is the second of this make that I have used. Its been in use now for about 6 weeks and so far so good.
4.0 out of 5 stars Wobbly inside plate
The delivery was fine; it is a good product, however it is let down by the inside plate which barely slots into place and does come off regularly, unless I was given the wrong one for the product, hence less than 5 stars.
This replaced a more expensive Panasonic which eventually failed after 20 years. It is unfair to compare the two but I cannot help it. The Panasonic was larger and pretty well all stainless steel whereas the Sharp is not . The inside is painted in a dark blue – a lighter colour would have been better.
It looks smart and certainly does the job so I would recommend i
Bought for my mother who is in her 70s, she loves it, finds it simple to use and easy to clean.
No added features you never use, just straightforward, stylish and easy to use!
I am still getting used to it at the moment because it seems to be more powerful than my old one, it seems to be a good easy to use microwave, I use it for cooking vegetables, reheating and starting food off prior to the oven or air fryer. It does what I want and at reasonable price, no complaints off me.
Good size and ideal for small family. More powerful than I thought and heats up food far more quickly than my old microwave. Taken 1 point from review as the start button can sometimes be a bit fussy to operate if you don’t press it dead centre.
Smaller in size and slightly lighter in weight. Quiet and not so load ping. Light only comes on when in use so you can leave the door open to dry out the inside. Its very dark so cant see any splashes on the inside. Always cover food to avoid moisture build up.
I think it had been dropped as it doesn’t stand flat. It’s working and I have already waited 5 weeks for it. Nothing fancy basic microwave.
The black one lasted me around about 3 years due too leaving the door open after cooking and the back window opened a tad. I add too put it out for scrap yesterday minus the plug. As it was extremely dangerous too use and was turning into a rust bucket inside. A few weeks before I noticed brown specks. I guessed it was Rust on the newspaper it was standing on, on the kitchen table. I was still cooking food it upto a week before. It looked ok inside. I didn’t notice any signs of rust appearing. Tuesday it didn’t. Cook my microwave oven readymade macaroni cheese dish. It seemed too be cold. Hot underneath the plastic dish. And I don’t know about the small fly that fled in beforehand. Source me leave the door open a tad after cooking too let the steam dissipate. It saves you keep buying a new microwave oven every 12 months, or less. Found this method out by accident. Nothings ever mentioned in the microwave instructions books about this old method of mine. I Even posted it on Facebook.
Great Value
Had for a few months and no problems so far. Does everything as should and decent price
Attractive
I love that the inside is a beautiful grey and not white. It has lots of useful functions but doesn’t fit dinner plates bigger than 10 inches or 25 cm. 5 more centimetres inside would have made all the difference.
It does make a lot of condensation, so needs wiping out after each use to prevent rust, but other than that a great addition to the kitchen and we’re fairly happy with it.
Missing one star as it doesn’t fit a standard dinner plate and has the option to heat a dinner plate.
Super after sales service
My daughter loves this microwave. It is a good size and does everything she needs of a microwave.
One of the rubber feet was missing so I contacted Amazon: They couldn’t send a spare part but offered a partial refund, a good compromise as my daughter bought an eraser and shaped it to fit.
All in all a good buying experience.
5sta
5star product highly recommended fantastic microwave oven very easy to use
Grea
great & simple – just what I wanted. It was to replace an old one
Easy to use, looks good.
Looks great and easy to use. Slightly bigger than the bog standard microwave which helps. Can’t fault it.
Brilliant little microwave
Looks smart and elegant and does exactly what it says on the tin!
Very sleek and easy to use. I like the clock feature also. It fits my huge plates in nicely and I like that it’s dark inside not the usual white.
Does the job
The quick setup guide could do with a website link to be able to use the full features of the microwave. Not the easiest control panel to use, but other features are better than the competition, so not unhappy overall.
doo
o dislikes except the door you have to hold the microwave to release the doo
No fuss
Not a bad size but to be honest I’m a microwave reheater not cooker
This isca very straight forward microwave with turn dials so no complicated
Programing and the 900w means your not hanging around and it handles
The task early
Just what I wanted
Very easy to use and a big improvement on my 30+ year old Sanyo that finally gave up the ghost. Only criticism is that the light doesn’t go out at the end of cooking and the door left open. I always preferred to leave the door open so condensation dried away but with the light on I’m forced to close the door otherwise the 25watt bulb is a drain on my electric bill.
Small footprint for its power size
All good except dials difficult to read due to size and colour and maybe a problem for older people like myself.
All of the above plus it saves on energy bills.
I like everything about it.Easy to use and to keep clean.
Very cost effective produc
I’ve found the operation on settings & use are very clear to use, especially the on screen and display settings are very clear to use.
Lasted 13 months- blew up Xmas day !
Pretty good for the 13 months it lasted . I’ve had a few of these Sharp basic microwaves , they’re good . Guess I was just unlucky with this one . The front opening is a bit narrow for a decent dinner plate . The quick start function is 30 seconds rather than a minute on previous models .
Replacement microwave
Having had my old microwave since 1978 I was in floods when it eventually gave up the ghost. Minefield chosing a replacement. It’s OK but definitely not as well made as my old one!
Good but small opening
Good price, seems decent quality works well, we only use it for basic heating of food , only issue we have you can only get a small dinner plate in if your warming up meals, otherwise its great.
It’s good value
Nothing to dislike. Really good value for the money. Simple to use
Does the same job as Panasonic at half the price.
Controls are a bit fiddly but otherwise does all I ask of it.
