The SHARP YC-MG02U-S Compact 20 Litre 800W Digital Microwave has been a nice addition to the kitchen, it’s simple to use. The only thing I haven’t figured out is how to display a clock with the time of day when it is standing by, currently it just shows zero’s
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.
Have used this size and type of microwave before and find that this one delivers what it states on the instructions. Easy to use with clear controls and also easy to wipe out and clean. Cooks well. Would recommend.
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!
It is very like our previous microwave. We wanted a 900 W with touch controls and that what we got and it looks good is a plus. We only use the microwave facility.
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!
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 .
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.
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 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
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.
Ithink 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:)
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.
Cleans easily, smart looking , could be cheaper & easier to understand. Using the grill/ oven & working on weight is complicated
A lot bigger than I thought it would be, very easy to use
Easy to use. Just buttons could react better on pressing them. But I am very happy owner.
Nothing to dislike about this it does what it says on the tin a very good microwave
Very pleased with product works well and easy to use, cooks well as also has 3 different combi settings great if you have no ove
No issues so far, takes a little to get used to
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, does what it says in the box.
Great price, good brand, easy to use and plenty of functionalities.
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.
My first microwave.. easy to use looks nice not too big
This was the perfect microwave for us, it’s sleek looking, easy to use. I would most certainly recommend i
Nothing . But a bit complicated going through all the functions on it .
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
This is also the first time that I’ve had an inbuilt grill and it is impressive with almost instant heat and cooking fish was quick and they browned nicely. Jacket potatoes are fast plus get a crispy jacket.
You can use a combination of microwave+grill and can select the proportion of each to be used and here the instruction manual is very useful. For simple microwaving it works so logically even a child could guess it, if they can overcome the child lock! Strangely, and cleverly, the control panel won’t work until you open the door, so little fingers don’t start it accidentally. (After the initial opening the controls work whether the door is open or closed).
A niggle, and I was about to return the machine because of it until I worked out what the instructions meant: the beep is loud and it beeps a lot. It will beep when the cooking is done and then beep every two minutes until you open the door. Poor neighbours! However you can mute the sound completely: open the door, press the child lock once, quickly, and “off” appears briefly. The downside though is it doesn’t tell you when the cooking has finished.
Overall, excellent machine, large enough for couples (bigger version available for families), it is compact, well made and I’d recommend it, even with the b**ping beeping sound!
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.
As promised, I received the item on the third day after placing my order. The item met up to my expectations. Really user-friendly. The feel and appearance are both excellent.
Inbuilt grill about as good as useless. Otherwise it’s a microwave.
I thought it was broken at first as none of the buttons would respond, but you have to open and close the door to activate it, which is a great safety feature!
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

Loving this microwave & with the grill makes its very versatile. One has to download load the instructions unfortunately. Would be nice to have some recipes though. But proving to be a powerful addition to the kitche
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.

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.

Easy to use.Used so far to heat up foods
Full functioning, excellent microwave, I would give it 5 stars except the operating buttons are a little difficult to see and I have two seniors who struggle to operate i
Good alternative to the big convection oven, for smaller things that you would feel guilty to turn on the big one just for that. I like it very much. Does its job!
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 to replace my old combination microwave. I didn’t want anything over complicated and this looked perfect.
Pleased to say for my uses it is perfect. A massive improvement on my old one, nice clean button placements and easy to use.
So pleased we choose this product,great value for the money.
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!
