It's good
It’s a cute little compact microwave. Not very powerful and a bit small. But fits nicely into the kitchen.
a good value for money microwave
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

Want to STOP the beeping? Press (don’t hold) the child lock BUTTON once. Again, only press it once. Holding it would turn on the full Child Lock.
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.

I’ve been using this for a week now without any problems at all. I didn’t think I’d need the grill/convection oven aspects, but on offer it wasn’t much more than microwave-only ovens. I’ve found myself using the grill/convection as it cooks better than my main oven (electric fan). Heats up far quicker (less air/space to make hot) so cooking starts almost immediately. I’ve certainly found no need to preheat the oven as with my main oven, although preheat is programmable and it’ll keep it hot for 30m before automatically turning off (in case you fell asleep waiting for the preheat complete beeper) – a nice safety feature.
I kept the glass turntable from my old microwave thinking it’d make a good base plate and that was a great bit of forward planning. I can put any type of plastic container on the glass plate without fear it’ll sully the flatbed or stick to it. It’s become a permanent fixture until such time I need to pack more square things in.
The keypad beeps with every press but you can turn that off. It only beeps 4 times (moderately) when your meal is ready. Short beeps too – my old one did 8 long loud beeps that kept going even when I’d opened the door – drove me up the wall – felt like it was screaming at me “BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP…”. I’ll give this 5* just for that alone! It goes into child lock mode after a few minutes of non-use. Just press mute for 3s to unlock, or open/close the door.
It looks lovely in black. The door is slightly mirrored and you can use it as such if you want. The clock is a nice clear white. You can turn it off by pressing stop for 3s – I don’t need 3 clocks in the kitchen.
Nothing to complain about regarding this oven at all – works perfectly and probably more efficiently than using my main oven for simple frozen fish/chips type easy meals.
I do find the manual lacking though. 9 pages of warnings. 2 pages for installation. 1 page for “control panel”. Just 3 pages related to cooking. The “auto cook” (program) table A01-A13 is sorely lacking. It just tells you “code=food type”. eg “A10 = oven chips”. It does not tell you if that program uses microwave, grill or convection, how long it runs for or what power levels. If you don’t know a program is going to use the grill and you put a plastic container in then you’re going to have a serious problem. I tried A10 for my first cook and it uses both grill and convection. I could only tell this by staring into the microwave and seeing the grill element turn red – just for a few minutes then it turns off while the convection oven does the rest. It would be nice if the manual stated how each program operates. I’ve drawn a table in the back of the manual to write down how each program works as I nervously venture through the programs possibly using the wrong type of container. Much better to use the manual combos/settings methinks.
However – the A10 did my frozen fish and chips really well (using the supplied “baking tray” – no idea if I was supposed to use it for that). It runs for 20 mins (not adjustable) and needed another 5 mins to get them just right. Exactly how long depends on many things including how cold your freezer actually is. Live and learn.
A thumbs up for the oven. A thumbs down for the manual if it’s the programs you specifically need. If you prefer manual operation then all that is explained well; microwave only, grill only, convection only, microwave+grill (eg lasagne), microwave+convection (eg chicken and steak). There doesn’t seem to be grill+convection so I’m still not sure how my A10 fish and chips cooked! I used the metal baking tray so it can’t be microwaved, the grill did come on so it must be grill+convection even though it’s not manually possible.
All in all a very capable oven. Flatbed rocks – you have the entire expanse of the square base available (12″ x 12″, 30cm x 30cm – a tiny bit more but that’s about right). The manual states internal dimensions of 330 x 220 x 335 mm (W x H x D). That is somewhat misleading. The base is not that size. It’s only 330mm wide if you measure from the indent on the left hand panel half way up. It’s only 335mm deep if you include the inner indent on the door – 335mm actually comes out of the oven a little. I’d not be buying any dishes based on the manuals dimensions. I’ve a 12″x12″ pizza stone that fits with just a little room to spare on each side.
‘I like it!’
Easy to use.Used so far to heat up foods
If you are a little older, buttons can be hard to see
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
Brilliant!
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.
Really solid and powerful Microwave
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.
Simple no frills microwave
My 14 years cheap Tesco bought microwave had started to go rusty inside so time for a replacement. Bought this one as I don’t need a fancy all singing and dancing microwave. So far it has proved easy to use and keep clean.
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.
Microwave button?!
It’s a good microwave but why have to press the microwave button every time you want to set timer. I know it has a grill but surely that is a distant second use. Other than that it’s decent for the price.
Great!
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!

Much better than expected
Some reviews about this microwave were quite negative and I wasn’t too sure, especially about the grill and the noise. However, the beeps are normal – the same as in my previous microwave. No smoke has appeared from the grill – I did follow the instructions about preparing the grill before using it.
It is easy to use, works perfectly well and I am very pleased with it. I have been using it for a week now. No problem.
Sharp Microwave
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.

Simple and effective microwave
I’m very happy with this microwave, which I’ve now had for nearly 2 months.
It’s very easy to use, no fuss. I mostly use the high microwave setting, or the grill. The grill function is a great addition for some quick fixes, and to avoid heating up the full oven for something small. It’s cheaper than most combi models that I found online.
The only negative is the beeping when it finishes, which all microwaves seems to have. It beeps 5 times if you don’t open the door before it reaches the specified time. It’s not a very loud beep, but still annoying. I’d love to be able to switch this off.
Simple to use and strong grill
Compact and surprisingly strong grill. Microwave function very good. If available space is an issue can only recommend. Does not have an oven function, if this is needed then have to choose larger devices.
Brilliant and Simple
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.
Looks great and heats beautifully.
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.
This was purchased to replaced an ageing 750w microwave/grill. Rated at 900w this microwave is far more powerful than that it replaced, although the grill doesn’t seem to be quite as effective. The design is almost identical to a Panasonic microwave that we had 20 years ago, but which lasted very well. The oven itself is cavernous, and will accommodate the largest of dinner plates on the turntable.
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!

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!
This was purchased to replaced an ageing 750w microwave/grill. Rated at 900w this microwave is far more powerful than that it replaced, although the grill doesn’t seem to be quite as effective.

I am 77 so found it a bit complex at first (1 Day) but once I mastered its multi-functionality I was cooking on high speed my old micro seemed like something found in a medieval cave.
Very Happy with this Purchase.
Good all round and simple
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.
Very easy to use
This is a very good Microwave at a very reasonable price, it is a Combi Microwave so roast and grill as well as Microwave,, I think it,s excellent value for money
Not having an internal light let’s it down.
Great microwave but not being able to see how your food is cooking is a disappointment. Not that I like to watch my the microwave for entertainment, but more so to check if food is overcooking/burning/overflowing etc.

Bought as a stand in and OMG I LOVE it!
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!
Perfect microwave
I’m very pleased with this microwave, it has a nice sleek design, easy to use and more powerful than my previous 900w microwave.
The flat bed design makes a lot more sense than a turntable.
Don’t forget to remove the protective film on the control panel.
Thoroughly recommend, good quality excellent value
Great microwave , easy to use , good quality excellent value , 2nd one I have bought this on for my sons new flat , he was delighted with it
Speedy service , careful considered delivery

Bought to use as a small one person oven in a small kitchen. It’s a BEAST. Most one person portions of stuff of any type usually is 200c for half an hour… This is 190 for 25 mins…
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!

Good functionality small microwave
I had my last Panasonic microwave for 17 years, sadly it started playing up, so chose this one as it similarly has a lot of the same functions, it is small compared to my last one, but so far it’s performed well.

Great microwave
Great useful microwave, takes a bit of getting used to all its functions but very versatile & good quality for the money. Having the grill is a handy additio
How far so bloody fantastic
Best microwave grill ever great size so so easy to use. The grill function is so good. I like how neat the grill is hidden away ( not like other my grills where we just hangs and can burn). It cooks ash browns lovely

Good Buy
This is a well made microwave & works well overall
The touch sensitivity is however not as good, I find I’m having to press on the “buttons” a couple of times coz first time it does not work

Happy customer!
I chose a Sharp microwave because I had the previous Sharp was so reliable. I had good use for 17years.My new Sharp has not disappointed although smaller is very efficient,takes up less worktop space and is easy to clean.
Perfect for the price tag!
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.
Does what says on the ti
Sharp Microwave
When our new microwave blew up, I ordered this item from Amazon which was delivered the next day. It is very easy to use and clean. It’s been easy to live with and wirth every penny.
Does the job!
Smaller than a lot of other microwaves but does what we need it to do. Big enough for normal sized plates.
Pros:
Compact size
Easy to use
Looks nice
Works as well as our previous microwave did, before it needed to be replaced with this one.
Reasonable price.
Cons
Loud beep! Which you can not stop once it is doing the finishing beeps. Also button pushes have loud beeps too.
Very light so need to consider what surface it will be placed on so it does not slide when using the buttons
or get some pads to stop it from sliding.
Cool Looking
Bought this for my daughter as she has now flown the roost.
She loves it as it’s just the right side to fit under her new kitchen units.
And it does what it says on the tin…
Looks fine!
it is about how long it lasts! otherwise all micro waves are doing the same thing and are similar. So if after a year still it works well, then I would give 5 star!
Arrived in perfect time and condition.
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.

Motorhome Microwave
Great microwave for motorhome or caravan. I like the fact that there are various power levels for use with limited electrical supply when on some caravan sites, or up to 1000 watts for extra power. It comes with a grill feature which is great when on electric hook-up, saving on using up valuable gas.
Very user friendly
Thus far this has been really good. I have reused the grill function but everything works fine. It’s easy to use and looks good too. It could do with being a centimetre talker inside to accommodate some of my ready meals. But apart from that I’m really pleased with it.
Perfec
Very easy to use , clean and great value for money.
We have 2 small kids and it’s being used all day every day to warm food up .
General fine, bit worried
In general I like this product. However I am a bit scared of grill option as I see smoke coming out. So I am a bit worried about my safety. Is this normal?
Good Value
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.
Excellent Microwave.
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.
Wireless door bell.
I purchased this item some weeks ago, my neighbour saw it and was impressed so this one is for my neighbour.
It works
So far been a good microwave I took away a star because it’s not that easy to use right out the box it doesn’t have a 0-9 numerical pad… Instead it has 3 annoying buttons to set how long you need and the beeping while setting the timer is more annoying than having to go see my mother inlaw
microwave /grill
I Liked its with built in gril Couler Black had problems with the Door/ buttons ass one button was malfuncioning I contacked AMAZON SURPORT And the issue was Rectified and it was a Bargain price Amazon Always Helpfull when in NEED many Thanks
Nice roomy microwave, good power, simple to use.
Technically it also has the ability to grill, like a huge toaster-oven. But we just use it as a good-sized microwave. The wattage is good, so it cooks things a lot faster than our previous microwave.
We aren’t demanding microwave users, but it does everything we want.

This is good value for money but there is a drawback. The control system Abel is not illuminated although the photos look as though it is. You need a bright light in the kitchen to be able to see it.
Other than that, recommended.
