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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
Just what I was looking for. Easy to use. Simple disks. Very efficie
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.
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!
I like the look looks so beautiful in my kitche
Good quality Microwave!! Grill works well we are happy with it so fa
Will have to do for 12 months when I will get perhaps a better one which provides information for different combination cooking
Need to wear my glasses to read dials but good otherwise.
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
Fantastic value. Size perfect for us. Works well. Really pleased and recommend.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great Product plugged it in , off I went ,all the symbols are on the front.
Instructions are very easy to read and follow.
Inbuilt grill about as good as useless. Otherwise it’s a microwave.
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 doe’s what its say’s on box and is ease to use
Brilliant microwave, no complaints. Easy to use. Looks great in my kitchen. Great price worth every penny. Many functions and a grill too. Worth every penny.
I love the space-saving design which means there is still plenty of functional space left on the counter top surface for food prep. This is easy to clean and heats food through thoroughly and with the light facility, you can see your food whilst cooking inside the microwave. Definitely value for money and looks good.
For reasons I forget we decided we wanted to replace our dying Panasonic with a old skool turny-knob microwave. You lose the accurate timer (and digital clock, if you ever worked out how to set it) but you gain the speed of ‘turn…brrrrrr’ and of course the “DINGGG!!” When is done.
Only other knob-controlled microwaves were either supermarket own brand in garish colours orr white plastic. Hopefully will last longer than our last (Panasonic) machine.
Also has a grill… Which I didn’t actually know till rereading the description just now!
It’s a cute little compact microwave. Not very powerful and a bit small. But fits nicely into the kitchen.
Looks good works well and is actually easy to set the clock on! I know that may not be important to some people, but it is to me, the microwave itself is actually easy to use and fits well in the kitche
After pressing this button once the word ‘off’ will be displayed.
This mutes the microwave and after a minute turns on an anti tamper mode.
To exit tamper mode simply open the microwave door to un ‘Loc’.
For further help, read the microwave manual in the Child Lock section.
Sometimes difficult to press the buttons but slowly getting used to it!
Bought this, then upon receiving was broken. However have to say it was very good quality, looked very easy to clean and had an easy to follow panel. Got my old one repaired but wouldn’t hesitate to buy again if needed. Customer service extremely helpful and quick to resolve issue.
A lot smaller than I was expecting but works as it should haven’t tried the grill ye
Was bought to replace a Samsung Convection Microwave that had died. Have to say this is far superior in quality. Made sure it was a stainless steel interior so it has good longevity and having convection would mean that we used the normal oven less, thus helping to keep the energy bills down. This thing is awesome in that respect! It pre-heats to the desired temperature in around 4 minutes no matter what the temperature is set at! The costs savings in pre heating alone make this a worthwhile purchase. Will definitely buy Sharp again in the future! genuinely awesome bit of kit.
he speed of delivery and how well packaged product was when delivered.
Very happy with the product, easy to clean, use and understand how to operate.

This was required just before Christmas when our old unit broke down. The power is noticeable and the easy to clean ceramic inside is a real boon. The unit is quite large but that is ok as it is also larger inside and that just makes it more versatile. The touch buttons work fine and are responsive and the display is clear and bright. This is a capable Microwave and its performance has been noticeable compared to the unit it replaced which was from a leading brand. This Sharp unit is just better in every way. Impressed.
Only downside is if you open the door halfway through cooking it cancels what’s left of the time to cook and you have to start again in effect. It also has a fan that runs on after you have finished – so the noise can be annoying.
Staying loyal to Sharp.
Last microwave was a Sharp and lasted over 10 years.
So decided to stay loyal and buy another Sharp.
This model was on offer at a very good price and we are very pleased with it.
Looks good, very simple to use. Excellent display, very clear and easy to see.
Reassuringly very heavy and sturdy.
So far a good decision.
Bought this to replace my second Russell Hobbs microwave, both of which rusted irreparably on the inside (have found RH to be inferior in all small appliances I’ve bought from them and shan’t be buying any more).
Paid a tad more for this, but needed something to fit a particularly small space, and in black. Turns out it’s actually a little shorter, has no vents on the top, heats far better than my previous microwave so heating times have been reduced, and is rather good all round.
Haven’t tried the grill option yet.
Only caveat would be if you’re not housing it in a well lit area (mine’s below the counter), you will need to memorise the relevant button positions that you use most often.
The Achilles heel of this machine is the control panel. Front mounted it features a pressure membrane which is less than sensitive and the control buttons themselves are extremely difficult to read, particularly in poor light. You can use either Microwave mode, Grill mode, or a combination of both.
Whilst there are a number of options, most require a number of key presses – although there is a leftover from our old Panasonic which isn’t publicised too well – press the start button without making any other selections and it will activate the microwave on full power for 30 seconds. Press it, say, 4 times in quick succession and it will run for 2 minutes (4×30 seconds), and so on. That does save a bit of time!
Very Happy with this Purchase.
So happy with this Microwave, has all that I needed and so simple to use none of those buttons that i’ll never use.
Also on thing i find good is the display is bigger to see than past microwaves we have had.
One thing i was not too sure about when we ordered was there is no turntable but this has suited me a lot better than one with as you can just insert any plate suited for microwave and its a doddle to clean.
Very happy all round and would purchase again.
We have had to move into a rental property, whilst we are having work done at home, only after we moved in we realised no microwave as ours is built in at home. As we are not going to need this item forever, it seems a good price and multi function. I am amazed how quick this little beauty is! It knocks spots off our built in one at home, I found the operation of the microwave a little tricky at first, but just keep the instructions next to the oven, love the grill function. A excellent priced item with excellent functionality!
Best of all: no turntable to go wrong.
Worst of all: no square grill pan or shelf and whatnot.
WARNING: as with all new cooking appliances, each individual needs to learn how the appliance fits in with the user’s cooking styles and lifestyle, ergo YOUR experience may differ.
So far, though, I say it’s a great value piece of kit.
Edited, November 2021. I found if used on higher heat settings for over more than about 25 mins, it overheats and goes a bit dolally tap or shuts down… So although it DOES go up to 230C and 90mins, don’t do it!
Needed a microwave for our new place, one that didn’t take up too much space on the kitchen counter.
Straightforward to use, added bonus of the grill function which came in handy as our oven broke down. You won’t cook a roast in it but it is good enough for light grilling / toasting.
Defrost function is quite good too – input the weight of the item you want to defrost and it automatically sets the time.
It looks nice, too.
A bit long winded compared to my last one, but once you know what you’re doing, it’s very easy.
Mostly just use the microwave option, as the grill works, but the microwave gets splattered.
Done cheese on toast in it, and it did work.
The Start button on the keypad is starting to bubble already though.
Fantastic big enough for most things well worth the money

This microwave is the best one i have ever bought, everything works, the grill is great and the microwave itself cooks very fast being a 900w so everything cooks faster for you. Would recommend this microwave based on it`s performance and looks.
Good little microwave.
To get a “cook” for under 7 minutes you have to turn it all the way around and back again. If you dont all you are doing is defrosting. Isnt clear from looking.
There are different heat levels and can be used to grill / half and half etc I havent tried those functions yet.
But for what I require its the business.
Good capacity and power. A very effective ‘must’ for any kitchen.

Other than that, recommended.
This microwave replaced our old one which was getting rusty under the plate. The dimensions were perfect for the small space we have available. It’s extremely easy to use for defrosting and everyday cooking. The only slight negative is that the quick start button has to be pressed exactly in the middle which sometimes means having to have 2 or 3 go’s at getting it started. Perhaps if it was bigger it would solve the problem. Otherwise EXCELLENT! Also having a push button door opener is great so it can be opened one handed.
This little Sharp microwave is excellent, it has several different functions and surprisingly our plates fit in it.
It looks quite compact but is really spacious, we didn’t think our plates would fit but they do Would recommend to anyone wanting a microwave. Thank you
My partner likes this microwave and that makes my life happier.

Bought this after having a 700W cheap microwave. It’s good value for the price, this 900W microwave heats up food a lot quicker than my old microwave. There is also a metal rack for grilling, and although I’ve only used it once, the grill does heat up food quite quickly. The controls are touchpad and easy to clean and doesn’t take up much more space than my old microwave, so it’s ideal for a small kitchen worktop. It also has presets for heating coffee, pizza and making popcorn.
I got this item because it looks great and it is huge for the money. I used it against my old 750-800 Watts microwave and it is not as good as my old one. I did try different settings and type of food or beverage and it was always colder than the old microwave.
I am looking for something more powerfully than our old one and therefore i am going to return it back. I do recommended it if you are looking for a budget big 28l microwave.
Being a ‘family’ of two (SWMBO and “him”), and with our ‘old’ microwave ceasing to function three says ago, ordered this – and it arrived yesterday.
The manual was easy to follow – I (and “him”) now have another timer available in the kitchen :).
My only regrets are that the microwave rice pack we used today was too tall, so I had to ‘flatten’ it slightly (and will be the same with any other micro rice packs) and the splash guard we had for our old microwave is too big.
Otherwise (so far) wonderful.
Bought this to replace previous SHARP model, that started rusting and flaking off. It lasted about 6 years so very good score, hoping this one can achieve the same level. I’ll update the review if that’s not the case but as it stands totally recommend SHARP microwaves 🙂
The inside plate was the same size as my old microwave, so I was hopeful the inside would be the same size. It’s a bit smaller, but all my plates and dishes fit, so that’s good. As it is a 900w and my old one was 800w, it’s a bit different but it’s easy to work out the different times.
The only slight reservation so far is that the off/on control knob is hard to turn, relying on a strong finger grip and a rather slippery knob. Not a great combo. However, the controls are easy to understand. And if one overturns them accidentally I gather it’s ok to push them backwards…
Fits in small spaces, looks really good and is lighter than my previous ones.
I love it, used most days. Brilliant product
Top quality. Thank you.
Great defrost
Easy to use
Huge inside
Easy to clean
Even heat in food
Cons
Takes longer than my previous microwave though the heat is more even
Grill is terrible – it doesn’t do anything, no effect even after extended recommended time
Overall, this microwave is an amazing buy for the money, so long as it lasts ok. We’re happy with the capacity, the even cooking and the thorough defrost.
With other microwaves it’s easy to just blast and go and you have to be very cautious not to leave things too long whereas this one seems so steady and reliable, for example I defrosted 10 sausages and within 20 all were evenly and completely done without scalding and mushiness which is great.
The digital display is really easy to use – simply press the times you want in increments of 10 minutes or 1 minute, or in 10 seconds. I think the size may actually help with the cooking as there’s plenty of space inside. I’m really happy with this and glad I went with the reviews that make this the top selle
