I love this new microwave. It is similar to my old one and works perfectly. One very small moan, I wish the control panel was white with black print instead of black with white print as it isnt that easy to see the print in low ligh
Nice clean lines (silver version) and easy to use and clea
Great product was bought as a present for my so
Was skeptical at first because it was used. But so far so good. It still works fine
My previous one was made by philip 5 years ago. the sharp one is quite quiet. I like i
Exceptional value… very pleased with the settings and it’s really simple to use.
I really like this microwave it’s easy to use and very strong power.
The microwave is fine and replaces one exactly the same, as I really like it. However, this one arrived with a big scratch on the top and I can’t find an option to contact the seller, so I’ll have to live with it.
Having lived with the damage, less than a year later the door has dropped so that it won’t close. Sharp say this is “physical damage” and isn’t covered under the guarantee. So if the door falls off after a couple of weeks – too bad.
Sharp customer service is non-existent but thanks to Amazon the faulty microwave has been replaced. So thanks to them. The new one doesn’t stand steady and the door looks a bit crooked – as though in transit it might have been dropped on one corner. But it works and when it doesn’t I’ll buy another brand.
Warming up food in seconds .
Very powerful
Easy to use and clea
A really smart and stylish microwave with a quality build suitable for one person or maybe a couple very easy to use
A Sharp device with 100% perfect usage and fast next day delivery when booked a 7pm and arrived approx. 15hours later. well done
Very good microwave oven does the job I am pleased with the buy.
Bought this sharp microwave to replace one bought years ago. had no problems with old one, just wore out.
I hope this is as good. Thank you for your service.
Aesthetically pleasing product easy to clean Great addition to kitchen too soon to rate efficiency
I am disabled live alone so use it all the time for ready meals it’s fantastic thank you so much for making my life easie
It does what it says on the tin. It does seem to get quite smoky and the power button is very hard to press.Each time you press it, the microwave physically moves backwards. Even the timer buttons require some serious energy
I really like this microwave, I find it very easy to use. The only trouble I have had is explaining to the wife how to use it which I have had to to on several occasions. We can train chimps and send them into space easily but teaching my wife to use a microwave is like rocket science!
Bit lightweight and very small interior but looks nice and is easy to use
Takes getting used to but great value for money and easy to clean.
We bought this to tide us over whilst our kitchen was redone. Was the cheapest digital microwave we could find. Honestly, my only complaint is that it seems to fill with condensation every time it’s used, but that isn’t a major issue for me. Otherwise it’s easy to use, looks nice, and performs perfectly. It’s perhaps on the small size (we can’t fit a big dinner plate into it) but we wanted something compact anyway so that’s no flaw for me.
No complaints about performance here.
You can buy cheaper on the market but you get what you pay for.
Nice compact microwave. Easy to use. Does condense up quite a lot so needs wiping out after use.
I like the colour (white) look very modern, I dont normally buy white stuff but I really happy with it at the mome
Been using it A LOT since it got delivered, even though it has some dents on its exterior (I already anticipated it because it’s not brand new).
Love this microwave, it is a great size and very easy to use
we live in a small Flat,this Appliance is a great space saving device,compact but with many features.Great value for Money.Strongly built.
Early days but it’s easy to use , not too big and easy to clea
It’s clearly been dropped or otherwise mishandled at some stage, as the packaging shows damage as does the corresponding corner of the microwave. Which is disappointing. However, the main unit is uneffected and it still functions.
Very easy to use, looks good and it does what it says on the packet!
Very good for the price.
Excellent quality product and looks great, just slightly narrower than my old one, so doesn’t take one of my casserole dishes, but very pleased overall.
Lovely microwave especially the jacket potato setting which we use regularly makes things easier and looks good easy to use .
It’s simple easy to use .. Works brilliantly
I do a lot of jacket potatoes .. Small and compact
Does what it’s meant to do..
Great microwave looks the part only thing on the down side you can’t for a standard dinner plate in it it’s too small little annoying when trying just to heat a dinner already plated up
I’m really pleased with this microwave. It is easy to operate and does everything I would need.
if i push one button repeatedly a light goes on my food revolves and gets hot. there is another button to press if the food starts exploding
love it! very compact and easy to understand set up details. would definitely recommend to other buyers!
Our son loves this microwave bought as a gift. Great price. Easy to use. Good size for his small kitchen.
arrived quickly, fairly easy to work but does emit quite a bit of steam
his is an excellent product, got it to replace a more expensive one from Panasonic-always had sharp before-gland I’m back-its small things like the instant minute butto
Perfect. This has replaced my old larger combi microwave that actually wasn’t broken, just old, worn, too large and quite honestly I hadn’t used the oven and grill part for years.
This new microwave is smaller, but large enough to enable me to use my large dish and 3 litre jug still (I bought a microwave to fit round them) …… as a lot of microwaves are really small inside. We chose black for a change (always have had white) and it looks quite stylish in the kitchen. Given me more room too.
UPDATE
From my first review of this microwave which I found to be perfect, there is one huge issue I’ve since discovered. CONDENSATION! I’ve never had a microwave do this before and my previous one was a Sharp too and had no issues. Is it the colour? First time I chose not to have a white one. It literally runs with water every time it’s used and the floor of the machine collects a humongous puddle.
I’ve therefore knock 2 stars off my original review – 1 star for the condensation and the 2nd star for having to keep mopping it all up!!
So no I wouldn’t buy this model again.
It is portable and powerful microwave. The only problem with it is the base stand which does not grip firmly
ot great if you have large dinner plates but works well and have no complaints
very pleased with this Microwave
very easy to use
very Efficient
quick Delivery
I am not sure if there is any significant difference between microwaves. I have been using Sharp as long as I can remember. This one also fits into my counter perfect. Full functionality and very easy to use.
We’ve had it for over a month now and it seems to work well for family use. The size is good – not too big. Also, having a timer that you can use for anything is a useful feature.
Nice compact size
Easy to use controls
There’s a lot of condensation when you use the microwave but wipe with a damp cloth or leave the door opened an hour or two
This is the only drawback I’ve found
I got this to replace our old unit that finally burned out.
It was exactly what we needed, very easy to operate with many quick to use presets for many common foods.
We’ve been using it for several months and it is working a treat. Very pleased. Good price and good product.
Bought this for my Mum.
She uses it a lot and is working perfectly.
Not sure why there is only a one year warranty but so far it’s had no issues and it’s been over a year.
UPDATE: Mr V is correct, the plastic was removeable and obviously there to protect it in transit. I am a sillybilly. 🙂
A smart looking microwave only let down by having no 30 second increment for a quick blast of microwave energy. 60 seconds is shortest duration. Previous microwave did have this.
Nice microwave, very solid build, etc. Only problem was that ours had a crack in the glass door and so it will go back for a refund. Pity.
No issues with this, it works great and has lots of good features. As others have said, it does get a little condensation with long use ie jacket potato on for 10 mins but I use a piece of kitchen roll on the plate which tends to help and then leave the door open for a short while after to clear. Would recommend.
Have had to buy 3 microwaves this year but this one is the best and works really well
Just what I was looking for… a bit slippery when I put it on the countertop.
I bought this the i tried to cancel the order, im glad i was unable to cancel it because i love my microwave, i tried to cancel because of some of the reviews where saying that it tended to steam up and peeling inside but though i cannot vouch for the peeling because i have none as of yet, but i definitely do not have any steaming up, only downside about this microwave is that it does not have a 30 sec button, only has a 1 minute but its no biggie, i love it and i do recommend it ! Thanks!
Loses one star for being rather noisy, otherwise it is very good. I couldn’t believe it could accommodate a full-size dinner plate!
Well designed and fully packaged product. Works well and meet my needs.
I bought one for my Partner when hers failed, before I had the chance to give it to her my Micro failed so kept hers and bought another for her.
So we each have one of these. Both of us are happy with them, they get used quite often without any problems so far.
I would certainly buy another.
I generally have a lot of more expensive kitchen equipment but being near Christmas (when I bought it) and needing something fast I went for this as it had great reviews both on amazon and AO. I was not disappointed and Sharp’s quality is to be commended.
It’s a good sized unit and heats evenly. Controls are nice and easy to use and it looks pretty good too.
It doesn’t get a lot of use – but when it does it’s an excellent unit.
It cooks a bit better than the “no-brand” we had before, with less hot and cold patches in food.
Potatoes seem to cause a bit of condensation in the microwave when cooked – we just wipe round the inside afterwards.
It works great – only had it a few months
Our last Sharp eventually suffered a problem with the keypad wearing out so it became unreliable, but that was after maybe 10 years! We replaced that Sharp with a “no brand”, and wished we had stuck to Sharp!
Nice small smart microwave that does the job it is required to do.
Bought for an elderly neighbour. His previous one corroded inside but I think this was because it did not get wiped out after heating soup. We have always had a Sharp although ours is a combination oven, and are pleased with it. Our last one was 20 years old when it gave up! Too soon to tell if our neighbour will be as fortunate!
Should have got a bigger size, tends to steam up a bit much. However does the job.
Very happy with this but slightly disappointed that the timer only goes up in 1 minute intervals. Our previous one has 30 sec increments. Otherwise a nice microwave
It was well packaged.
I just plugged it in and it worked like a dream.
Almost identical to my previous one so I didn’t have to learn too much new stuff. The instructions that came with it were *real* instructions!
Very pleased.
Very good and reliable product. Compact, goes with most decors and powerful – cannot complain!
Very efficient microwave, not noticing issues with condensation that I read on previous reviews to be expected anyway with a microwave. Compact. .does the job and easy to use
Arrived next day after order and so far seems value for money. Thanks
I bought this on a rash consumer decision as price was reduced and it looked smart, and old microwave had died after 10 years of great service, hope this one does the same.
So far so good, we will see. But don’t forget to add Amazon 3Year cover for 9, it is a no brainer at that price, so 49 for the microwave plus 9 for the cover equals 58 and gives total no worry for three years.
The microwave looks good and is quite compact. It does what it is intended for and is easy to use.
The only drawback is when you open the door the microwave slides a little on the worktop.
Overall though a good product.
There is nothing wrong with this microwave, but I just don’t like it very much, having had a Panasonic previously. Gets very wet inside from the steam.
Find the door hard to open and the rotating plate not easy to fix on its base. getting used to it though. Not like my old sharp microwave of many moons ago but for the price I guess good.
*JUST ONE IMPORTANT NOTE* This may have been down to my own ignorance, but there is a piece of shiny cardboard type material on the inside of the microwave on the right-hand side that MUST NOT be removed. When I opened the microwave I thought it was packaging and removed it. When I double checked in the manual I saw that this was actually a Wave Guide Cover and that the microwave should not be used without it. Luckily they sell spares online so I managed to replace it at a minor cost and very little hassle. The lesson here is: ALWAYS READ THE MANUAL and READ IT THOROUGHLY.
Had for a few months after my Murphy Richards one packed up after 13 months. Typical.
This is great for the price. It is small so some larger plates might not turn. But does its job well.
smaller than i thought it would be. chose it because it had the same functions as my old microwave. the only fault with it is it only just takes a large dinner plate. every time you use it you have to reset the turntable beacuse it is hard to remove the plate without the turntable becoming dislodged. easy instructions on how to use it.
Bought this to replace our broken ‘sharp’ microwave which has been fantastic and is why we went for another Sharp.
This one is a little bit smaller than our old one but still takes our plates and items we used before.
It looks very smart and fits on our worktop better than the bigger one.
Good selection of easy buttons suitable for everyday use without having to work too hard. Glass plate inside not very stable, have to keep placing it back on tiny little trivet pegs in centre. Otherwise, good product for the money
Great Microwave, purchased for a small space in the kitchen and fits perfectly.
Been using for a few months now and everything is fine – recommended
getting a bit fed up with wiping it out all time, it steams up so much.
one thing I do like is the independent timer, which comes in handy when I cook something in the
gas oven. it is a well built machine, and it looks nice.4/5 stars is fair.
I like that it warms plates too.
Just beware that the front and rear feet are not in line and can prove difficult if you’re wall mounting on brackets.
If you want a smaller Micro as a backup for conventional cookers, especially reheating etc, this ticks all the boxes I have. You could save a few quid on a different manufacturer, but I like the Sharp product…
