    I’ve had this for a few weeks now, it’s a sleek looking microwave without unnecessary functions. It just does what you expect, quietly.

    I was really impressed with the quality & ease of use. Great finish & definitely worth the money – like it so much buying one for myself.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis 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.

    Need to press the microwave button on every use which is a bit annoying. Otherwise good value for the price.

    I like how unobtrusive it is and that there are no superfluous controls. Easy to use and clean.
    Minor drawbacks- the button to open the door is a bit difficult sometimes. Reading the timing button not so easy.
    The drawbacks are largely because I am 75 and have arthritis. Younger folk will not find them a problem

    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.

    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.

    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

  25. MaybellMichaels says:

    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

    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.

     United Kingdom

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Arrived as promised, in good condition and is a basic microwave as expected. Down sides are s no display so you cant select accuracy how long it will be on for i.e. lots of items require 50 seconds or 1 minute 20 seconds, you cant tell as no display.
    It is on the small side, OK to heat up a cereal bowl sized dish or a smaller dinner plate but would not be big enough for larger dishes or plates.

    I bought this for my 96 yr old mother-in-law after her previous microwave stopped working. Due to covid, I couldn’t go over to try and fix it so ordered this one with just the 2 dials to operate it as a replacement.
    Ordered on the Saturday morning and delivered on the following Monday morning (premium delivery paid for due to urgent requirement).
    The couriers who delivered it deserve praise for quickly unpacking it and lifting it onto the shelf in the kitchen (My Hermes).
    Mother-in-law was able to use it immediately without instruction which shows how simple it is to use.

  70. Abdul Q says:

     United Kingdom

    My quibble with this microwave is that it appears to take longer to heat food up than 800w microwaves that I have used in the past. The door-release button is also a bit temperamental, in that about 35% of the time its pressed it does not release the door catch. That said the microwave is nicely finished and easy to use, the latter being an important consideration for me.

  71. JesseMcCorkinda says:

     United Kingdom

    This Microwave was purchased as a general cooking device; it replaced a Panasonic digital microwave. I chose a manual microwave this time due to its ease of operation; no more dabbing through endless options. The power level is set to High mostly, and it remains set; with digital you have set the power level every time. Most often it is simply one twist of the timer knob to the proper cooking time and thats it! It could not be simpler.
    I also like it that the interior light only comes on while the food is cooking, otherwise it is off. This is good because you can leave the oven door open to let steam and condensation disperse without burning the interior bulb pointlessly. The previous microwave came to grief through rusting due to condensation.
    DEFROST: the scale is graduated by weight, which is not always helpful when you are defrosting foods you have frozen yourself; you may not know what the weight actually is. Proceed by short times and see how the food is defrosting bit by bit; there are kitchen scales of course!

    I initially ordered a 20 L microwave and realised I did not read the reviews. Within 10 minutes I cancelled the order and reordered a 25 L (as the 23 L) was not in the correct colour. Oh boy. Poor Amazon deliverer who had to come down 10 concrete steps to the house. It was sooo big and heavy. Bless, he was brilliant.

    It’s biggest microwave I have ever had. I have tested it to make sure it works. Thank goodness it does, I would not want to have to return it. However, I love it and got in during the sale at 22 less so I cannot complain.

    Bought to replace a 10 year old microwave. Went for the 25L so larger dinner plates would fit in it. As its 900w and new, cooks far quicker than the last machine. Looks good, reasonable quiet.

    Quite a practical design, works well, the only let down so far is the length of the mains cable. The instructions tend to discourage the use of extension cables, but the shortness of the cable makes this impossible.

    I do not like it as much as my former Sharp microwave. I would prefer to have a seconds option and also a timer, as the old model. I am a bit disappointed as I expected it to have these features. Perhaps I chose the wrong model and therefore have only myself to blame, I just don’t find it as user friendly.

    Really pleased with this, this was a replacement for a more expensive model and we have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and the ease of use. Power is spot on and it’s a nice size sitting on a standard worktop with as much presence as a 4 slice toaster. Would buy another.

    The oven does not take up much room on the kitchen counter. It has a maximum output of 900W, so cooking times are fast. It is easy to program. The food is properly cooked. The oven suits our needs and is a good buy for us.

    There isn’t much to say about the microwave apart from it represents good value and is basic and very easy to use.

    It’s nice to have a device with all of the bells and whistles and a plethora of functions but I’ve had 4 devices in the last 6 years with prices ranging between 60.00 and 200.00 and they all stopped working or developed control pad/button faults.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe protective film on the buttons hasn’t started to come off like for some of the reviewers, so I suspect that it only happens when the microwave is used quite intensively.

    The microwave itself looks very stylish, maybe I would have picked a different colour of the enamel. I like that the timer can be set by 10s increments and the microwave can be stopped at any time. Most microwaves in this price range have 30s increments timer.

    For someone who wants a small, simple but efficient microwave to heat up ready-meals, soup etc this is ideal. It’s so simple to use, with only two knobs to set and do the whole process.
