    It’s very compact and quiet, but if you’re not a techno bod, don’t think you’ll get to grips with it immediately as it has no instructions for use. Well, mine didn’t!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis Microwave Oven does the job perfectly adequately. So far I haven’t found the grill to be of much use as it doesn’t seem that powerful and odd things like having to open and shut the door to be able to set the clock are a bit irksome. But apart from that, it is a decent, good value microwave

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersGreat combo microwave and grill.
    I found it too light and would slide back on worktop when door push was used. On flipping it upside down can see they did not fit rubber feet on rear. I put some silicon feet on and no more sliding around. Also found panel not too responsive when buttons pressed. There is a protective film over it, so remove that for better response.
    Overall a great little nuke machine, and recommend it .

    Looks good and is well made with excellent performance and easy to use.
    I’ve never liked microwave baked pot6atoes, but this does a brilliant job of them in just 5 minutes.
    Very highly recommended.

    We only have a Microwave to help defrost, or heat something up from the fridge. We don’t use it to “Cook” but this is a very useful little microwave and easy to use. Our last Sharp microwave lasted 23 years so I also have faith in the brand!

    This is an excellent bit of kit, easy to use and easy to clean. I cooks the food perfectly and is quicker than other microwaves I have used. All at a very good price.

    Just the right size and so easy to use.
    Used the microwave for heating my porridge and other things. Look forward to using everything thing else. It was a shame it didn’t come with a manual for cooking recipes.

    I have had this for about two months now and it’s been a good buy
    Only negative I can mention at the moment is the knob can’t be as precise as a digital one but if you don’t mind turning a knob it’s absolutely awesome

    5.0 out of 5 stars Big space and heats up fas

    A- A backlight feature for the buttons activated by touching the knob would be a helpful addition.
    B- Placement at mid-height inside the oven can lead to uneven cooking; food farther from the door tends to cook first.
    I am particularly impressed with the grill function. When food is placed at mid-height, the grill is highly effective, though caution is advised to prevent overcooking. Both the microwave and grill settings perform well for cooking bread. The convection function also does an excellent job.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersFor some reason the buttons don’t respond very well, and there’s clearly a knack to pushing them.
    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIthink it is a good purchase – it looks good and so far performs well. The only think I would be wary of is if you need it to sit back flush against a back wall. It sits on a counter top, but because of he design it does not back square onto the back wall. Not a problem – unless you have a narrow counter top and it is important for it to be pushed right back flush with the back wall.

    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:)

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe brushed steel finish is very premium, the pictures don’t do it justice. Same for the digital display. Also 900w means you save about a minute of cooking time on most things. And the ceramic inside will hopefully prevent the dreaded rust I’ve had with previous microwaves.

    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.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Looks a lot better in the flesh

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersVery good machine. Have tried reheating home made curry, making popcorn, defrosting and grill and all work as expected. Nice looking machine (I really like the yellow light too) . Only minor gripe is the panels buttons sometimes need to be poked a few times to get a response (It works better if you swipe across the button). No full manual included so you have to download it from Sharp’s website.

I love my new sharps microwave it can do more than a cheap microwave can do and it cooks a lot better as well. I am 100% pleased with my microwave it came on time and I love it thank you amazon.

    Microwave oven good, pity no recipe book was provided, had to follow cooking instructions from previous microwave. Inside light not bright enough, control facia symbols very faint.
    Will have to do for 12 months when I will get perhaps a better one which provides information for different combination cooking

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI like this microwave because it does what it says in the description, but it will require you to clean it after every use (depending on how much steam is produced during reheating). It could be a blessing or it could be a nuisance.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersIt looks good but is smaller than I expected. Not bad but you get what you paid for. Other people might have find this Microwave suitable for them but it doesn’t meet my expectations. It is my bad as I expected more but paid not enough. For me microwave seems to be too small, not powerful enough, it has lot of programs but using them is not intuitive at all. It does have good looking, nice and bright lights, clock with Eco function, it’s fine. Soft buttons could be more soft or sorry, yes the are soft but if you find them under the plastic cover which is not so easy sometimes. Finish ding dong sound had became irritating being noisy x5 dingdongs at end of process. Imagine if you are heating a couple of small portions of food at time. It could have an “quite mode” or so. Finally It is good item if you are using it occasionally or you are single or small family. But if you expect something like professional grade it is worth to spend more money on it.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersSimple and easy to use, has quite a lot of options for warming your food. Looks quite nice and small taking up very less space in my kitchen. However, the product did not last for a year so, I requested for a replacement. The replacement broke down after almost a year. I would recommened this product but, make sure to get a cover/warranty of 3 months.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersThe microwave itself is fine and deserves 5*.
    The presentation of the manual itself deserves 5* as a A5 12 page booklet printed clearly with a good sized font and good contrast against background paper. However the whole manual content consists of safety warnings. Now I am all for safety, and understand Sharp would want to protect itself from any litigation some idiot might want to try. However, there is nothing to help a new user into getting the maximum benefit from the appliance. That is only available by accessing the full manal on the website.
    In my opinion, more thought should have been put into providing the full manual within the pricing constraints.

    Golden Review Award: 29 From Our UsersAs far as doing what it says on the tin is concerned, I can’t fault this microwave oven but there are two things which have already started annoying me since it arrived – only yesterday! The text and icons on the control panel are low contrast so it is difficult to see what they say without stooping down with reading glasses. Also, my previous microwave announce that it was finished with a single polite beep; this one beeps loudly five times and carries on even after the door is opened.

    These are the sorts of things that designers do without thinking about customers’ needs or paying attention to customer feedback. The text colour may look cool on the dark background in the design software but if you need to have your eyes nine inches away to read it (or a photographic memory), it isn’t functional. Likewise, if you can’t warm up a cup of tea at 2.00 am without waking everybody in the house, it has usability issues. I only chose this model as it was on special offer and I suppose I will get used to it but as soon as the warranty has expired, I will be opening it up to find a way to muffle the beep.
