Would recommend.
After my old Combination Oven gave up the ghost I wanted try one without the hassle of a turntable and boy, what a revelation! A million times better than the fiddle of a turntable, so much so that I’d never go back to having one again. Love the shiny black oven base that nothing sticks to and love the grill which works really well. I can’t imagine why other reviewers say the grill isn’t very good as I think it’s fantastic (maybe they’ve improved it as mine is a slightly later model). The only drawbacks are that the buttons are difficult to see, but maybe that’s because my kitchen isn’t very well lit, and the convection oven doesn’t seem to quite reach the temperature it is programmed to. I have to go up 10 or so degrees to compensate but that’s no hardship. Overall I’m very pleased with this Combination Oven and would recommend it to everyone.
Its hard to find a decent flatbed microwave!
This is a great microwave. I had to buy another one ever since other one broke, and I’m a huge fan of Flatbed microwaves, instead of the circular turnstyle ones, which feel a bit old schools and are just annoying when you have plates that are large and hit the sides when spinning.
It has a nice dark mirror-type reflective front.
The reason for 4*’s is because of the below 3 notes:
Note 1, by default, the beeps are quite loud, so using early in the morning (6am), could easily wake people up! So beware that you should MUTE it if thats something that would bother you too.
Note 2: It came with the Child Lock on, so you have to make sure to figure out how to turn it off, and I had to google it because it wasn’t written in the user manual!
Note 3: Once your heating something, you can’t extend the time. You have to wait for it to end, and set a new time. Bit annoying, but manageable for now.
Other than that, a nice microwave!
Fairly compact, neat machine.
Fairly easy to use except for the auto cook function that only gives a code that you need to reference to the manual to use, plus it would be nice to have a pre-printed manual that you didn’t have to print yourself. But all in all a good machine, no turn-table but with shelf and swallow tray.
I quite like this little microwave. It fits snuggly on my kitchen side, in a kitchen then size of a broom closet! I do not use the grill function as I have an air fryer and a grill/oven for those needs so I can not comment on that function.
It is too small to fit in a microwave baby bottle steriliser, BUT it can fit an average sized dinner plate quite nicely.
It looks really smart and the buttons are so easy to use.
I know some people complain about the buttons not working, but that only happens if you do not open the microwave door first. I think it is a type of security feature to stop it being used by children when nothing is in there maybe? It is easy to clean and mine get’s daily use and has lasted great so far! I grew up with old manual dial microwaves so usually I stick with manual ones.
I thought I would try a digital microwave for a change and I am not disappointed!
I will update in a few months to reveal how it is fairing in the longevity department!
I am in love with this microwave. So far, I have used the convection function as well as the microwave function. It is a powerful appliance and heats up food evenly. The convection function is great and I used it to make lasagna (which came out delicious). There is no rotating glass plate and the inside is stainless steel which makes it so much easier to clean in less time. Just be careful after using grill or convection settings, if you want to use the microwave immediately after. It is best to wait for the appliance to cool down after using grill/convection, if you want to use the microwave function next. In terms of size, it is a bit bigger than I expected but it fits perfectly on the kitchen top as my husband compared the size of the microwave with the kitchen table before buying. Overall, it is an awesome purchase and would definitely recommend if you want a versatile microwave.
Microwave ove
A very good product but unfortunately the door catch broke internally, so had to return the goods to Amazon where they would have sent a replacement the next day, I opted for a refund and will find a different manufacture.
Sharp Microwave
Far more sophisticated than that it has replaced, so much more versatile and accurate. I have yet to use the grill but I’m sure that it will be just as good as the microwave. Size, performance and cost of the item all first class and very reasonably priced.
works well
I like the appliance but do not like the fact that the door has to be closed after use as the inner light stays on if you don’t close the door. As a result you can’t let the steam and smells out after use
Always check the warehouse deals!
Bought as a replacement for old sharp microwave- wanted one as reliable as the two previous ones we had. Hope this one lasts as long as those two as first one was bought over 30 years ago and only had to be replaced just over 12 years ago.
So far I’m very happy with this one. Not quite as big as the previous ones but with the kids grown up and moved away it’s plenty big enough for the two of us.
Got as a warehouse deal and saved over 20 – brand new item just had a tatty box. Absolute bargain!
Good little microwave
Only comment is that I found when using is it quite noisy. Even the end signal is very loud, it would be good to be able to set the volume to your prefer level.
Nice "But"
Good looking and compact unit. But only gave 3 stars for ease of use because the included quick start guide has just “one” page explaining what the buttons are and how to set the clock and “seven” pages of warnings on what not to do, and “nothing” on how to use the various settings. As an example the Combi setting which combines the grill and micro functions, would that be used with the metal rack? as with my old micro only cooker metal objects must not be used.
Good, flexible ove
Microwave very efficient, convection not as efficient as my older oven but it provides a good combination. But beware, when using the display as a timer, the timer disappears in favour of the time of day and the only way of finding the time left is to open the door and press the timer button. Very annoying
Good machine
Started looking for a new microwave to replace my old one and loved the style of this one and the features only to realise it was identical to the one I already had, which had lasted about 10 years. So I bought it in white rather than silver. Easy to use, change time etc.
Sharp microwave ove
I was pleased by the compact size of this item its pleasing appearance and ease of function and cleaning. I was reasonably priced very good value for money and arrived within 24 hours of placing the order. I have no qualms in recommending the item and the vendor to anyone looking to replace or indeed buy their first microwave.
Item is working well.
Large capacity.
Lots of useful features, easy to operate
No issues with it.
Exactly what I wanted.
It arrived on time, well packaged and I am very happy with it.
Lovely looking and very practical microwave/oven/grill. Scatter energy so no need for turntable makes this much more user friendly than the older types of microwave. Performs well and is very versatile. Very good value for money.
I needed a powerful yet compact microwave for my kitchen, and the SHARP YC-GG02U-B fits the bill perfectly. It’s surprisingly roomy for its size and the 700W power cooks my meals quickly.
Only real negative is the cavity LED (the bulb that lights up when you open or use it) stopped working. It was purchased towards the end of 2021 and the bulb lasted around 2 years – maybe that’s standard, but seems less than previous microwaves. They are cheap to replace though.
The digital controls are straightforward and have all the settings I need for basic cooking and defrosting. The grill is an added bonus for when I want something toasted.
It has a modern look that fits well in my kitchen. Cleaning is simple too. For the price, this microwave is a great buy — I’d definitely recommend it!
Love this and is very convenient for us as a couple but not big enough oven for a family. Everything about it is perfect but slightly disappointing that the grill doesn’t brown off cheese. Minor detail for us as we have a main grill.
Average microwave, probably won’t last as long as my last one as it feels cheaper and not as sturdy. Controls are reasonably easy to use. Start button sometimes needs pressing more than once which can be irritating.
An OK Microwave Ove
This 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
Works great small size so check what size you want, but works really well on all different setting good looking machine too like fact its a combi at a great price, perfect for 1-2 people
Our 25 year old combination microwave finally gave up the ghost and had to be consigned to the local authority’s recycling centre. We chose this oven because it has no turntable so it is compact taking up less space than its predecessor. It also has a proper shelf rather than a wobbly tripod thing so common with other brands. Also our experience of Sharp large kitchen appliances, an American fridge/freezer, has been very good so we bought this one! It’s used almost every day and we’re really pleased with it – it really is easy to clean! The only issue is that it’s controls work rather differently from other microwaves that we’ve seen but after a short period of having to refer to the user manual everything is now second nature.
We are absolutely delighted with this microwave and would heartily recommend that potential microwave purchasers place this oven at the very top of their lists. A really great product.
Great 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 .
Flat microwave service good
Love flat no revolving microwave. Fits in good sized cookware. Microwave takes longer than my old one? Maybe there’s a reason or faulty, but no instructions only showing where buttons are.
Once I got over the child safety feature which kept the buttons from working until I had opened up the microwave door (read the instructions before use like they say) I found this particular microwave/grill quickly won me over. Love the special button for essentials, like baked potatoes and thawing out things I forgot to take out of the freezer – and for reheating my lukewarm tea or coffee in a few seconds. Brilliant instructions on how to soften butter which I have always struggled with. Didn’t think I would use the grill but have taken to it very quickly and find it really useful compared to messing with all the buttons on the electric cooker.
4.8 stars
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.
The 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.
Despite other reviews saying it is noisy, this is a great microwave.
Many reviews say that this is noisy – yes, it can be, but I just ensure that I stop it before the bleeper goes off.
Large enough to fit a standard size dinner plate.
100% recommended.
Compact microwave
Looks good, easy to use and surprisingly a decent internal size. My only gripe, and others have mentioned, is the quantity of condensation after cooking, hence only 4 stars. I’ve had loads of microwaves over the years without condensation issues but this one needs mopping out after certain foods. Literally water pools under the turntable. On the plus side it is spotless every time you go to use it!
Easy to use
Just what I was looking for. Easy to use. Simple disks. Very efficie
I have had it for a couple of years and I cannot fault it other than if it was slightly larger it would be better but that’s my own fault as I didn’t read the dimensions for it before purchasing but I have been using it and it’s lovely!
Nice looking easy to use the back does stick out a lot so does stand out too much .Nice looking though
Bought as a replacement for an old Sharp microwave. Not as big as my old one but much better performance.
I particularly wanted a microwave with a grill, this has one.The controls are very easy to understand and operate.The price was well within my budget.I only have one small problem with the controls.on my last oven the controls were knobs ,which required turning.This product operates by fingertip swiping ,which is not always accurate-sometimes requiring several swipes to engage the programme. This is a minor fault and in no wad detracts from the performance.
Liked the black microwave, the size and so easy to use.
Good locking microwave
I like the look looks so beautiful in my kitche
So far so good
Good quality Microwave!! Grill works well we are happy with it so fa
Got this to replace my other microwave, bought this as it’s very easy to use and it won’t be difficult for my mother (she now finds it hard to learn new things) as it has the same functions as my previous one.
Super microwave. Would be nice to have a more comprehensive write up on how to use the pre programme options.
I love my new microwave oven it is so good it takes pride of place in my kitchen. Yes it is a bit more expensive but hey you get what you ay for right. 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
Very good, but would have been even better with a handle
I 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.
It 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.
Nice looking , no fuss microwave
Need to wear my glasses to read dials but good otherwise.
I purchased this because my other packed in better size more compac
I purchased this because my other packed in better size more compact ..only problem is I can’t set the clock instructions are nearly none existence
Excellent microwave with grill
Fantastic value. Size perfect for us. Works well. Really pleased and recommend.
Very capient and easy to use and clean.
It’s a pity it was available just on white.
Check the size of your space as the item is quite on the large size.
It’s a microwave!
Selected to replace an antiquated item, working ok but confused by the power settings, I was used to selecting power in Watts as displayed on all microwaveable products, this has another system, I get very hungry while I’m calculating.
This is our first microwave for over 20years. Chosen for its size and the reviews submitted. It heats evenly and quickly. The grill is a useful addition, although not as powerful as an oven grill. Overall we are pleased with the purchase.
It a great microwave.. fits well in my small galley kitche
As 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.
Cheap & Cheerful
Perfectly adequate and excellent value small microwave. I much prefer having manual rotary knobs over reading tiny buttons. Grill is nice to have and unexpected at this price.
Easy To Use.
Great Product plugged it in , off I went ,all the symbols are on the front.
Instructions are very easy to read and follow.
Microwave
Inbuilt grill about as good as useless. Otherwise it’s a microwave.
Very easy to use and it heats up the food items pretty well. Having the option of a built in grill too is useful. One improvement would be to have a digital time clock on the microwave. Other than that I’d say this was well worth the price!
Time and Energy Savio
I shopped around for quite a while before deciding on this model of microwave. Having had it for some time now, it is still as good as it first seemed. It’s very easy to use. The menu is almost foolproof and very self explanatory. I like that you can add 10 or 30 second increments while it’s already on, for example.
It’s also got dedicated settings for pizza, popcorn, reheating tea, etc, if you might prefer to use them.
The grill function is a great added bonus, but I think it is only realistically useful for things such as grilled cheese, rather than things that take a long time, for those, you are better with a real grill as it would be a lot faster. In my opinion this is one of the better budget microwaves available, at least at the time I purchased it, and it is still going strong.
works very well
works very well doe’s what its say’s on box and is ease to use
