High quality
It is a good one with very hight quality. It is also value for money.
It is a little bit small if you want to heat big things in big plates
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.
Powerful and stylish
Bought to replace a Kenwood microwave that had started to rust internally, this has same capacity and power but has a slightly smaller footprint. Not really sure what the point of the grill function is, but I bought this as it was an Amazon warehouse deal and was therefore cheaper than the microwave only version. Would have liked better instructions in the box (You have to go on line to get full instructions) and maybe more details on how to use the Grill or Combination functions. More plastic in the build than the previous Kenwood and no ability to select anything less than 10 seconds of cooking time, both not big issues but sometimes you want to microwave something for 45 seconds
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.
Microwave and Grill
Haven’t used the grill feature yet, but overall happy with the product. Looks good in the kitchen. Lightweight so easy to move for cleaning. No obtrusive handles. One minor detail is that it slides across the worktop when pushing the button to open the door. Perhaps the addition of some ‘non slip’ or rubber feet might help ?
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
a nice addition to the kitche
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
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.
NICE COMPACT MICROWAVE
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.
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.
I am so happy with my purchase of this microwave with grill. It says 800w, a little slow but overheats the food within 2 mins. The grill is ok but not brilliant. I put a slice of bread in for 2 mins under the grill & another slice in microwave grill. One in normal grill came out perfect, while micro grill came out crispy but not grilled. Go for 1000w maybe. 20 ltr is a little smaller, but ideal for me though.
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!
Sleek looking efficient microwave
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.
Don't look for any usage instructions..... There aren't any
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!
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 .
Looks good and is well made
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.
Practical, straight forward easy to use
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!
Excelle
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.
Good value for money.
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.
Big space and heats up fas
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
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.
For some reason the buttons don’t respond very well, and there’s clearly a knack to pushing them.
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.
Easy to use
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.
I have just bought my new Sharps microwave because I had my last one for 25 years anditjust got tired. I bought another Sharps model and hope it serves meas well .I don’t think I’ll be around for that long as I am 87yrs of age . Thank you.
i recommend this one.
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.
It's SHARP and works wonders
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.
“Does what says on the can “
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:)
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.
Very good machine. Have tried reheating home made curry, making popcorn, defrosting and grill and all work as expected. Nice looking machine (I really like the yellow light too) . Only minor gripe is the panels buttons sometimes need to be poked a few times to get a response (It works better if you swipe across the button). No full manual included so you have to download it from Sharp’s website.
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!
Could be made simpler to use & understand for first timers & older people
Cleans easily, smart looking , could be cheaper & easier to understand. Using the grill/ oven & working on weight is complicated
Great value for money
A lot bigger than I thought it would be, very easy to use
Amazing microwave
Easy to use. Just buttons could react better on pressing them. But I am very happy owner.
Really good great price
Nothing to dislike about this it does what it says on the tin a very good microwave
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
Good
No issues so far, takes a little to get used to
SHARP 900W 25L Microwave with Grill
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.
Excellent Produc
I really like using this product. Clear instructions given for use off. Can be used for a great variery of dishes. The added grill is a bonus too. Easy to keep clean, and a good size.
A bit short I though compared to previous microwaves I’ve had.
Decent price, plenty of functionalities
Great price, good brand, easy to use and plenty of functionalities.
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.
Great Microwave
My first microwave.. easy to use looks nice not too big
Looks good and everything is easy to use
This was the perfect microwave for us, it’s sleek looking, easy to use. I would most certainly recommend i
Great product. Once you get over reading the instructions properly .
Nothing . But a bit complicated going through all the functions on it .
Good value for money
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.
Over priced when tescos had it cheaper but they sold ou
It a great microwave.. fits well in my small galley kitche
This is my first flatbed, and I don’t think I’d go back to a turntable. It is easy to clean and the non-stick lining is great and looks well made. Just a wipe with a soapy cloth. The microwave cooking seems uniform (I really use for ready-meals), and I can use larger and rectangular containers too.
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!
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.
The item met up to my expectations.
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.
Microwave
Inbuilt grill about as good as useless. Otherwise it’s a microwave.
Very little to say about it other than the grill is far more effective than my last one, and I love the eco-feature of being able to turn the LED display off.
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!
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
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

Smart modern stylish microwave
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
Well worth it!
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 good
It’s a cute little compact microwave. Not very powerful and a bit small. But fits nicely into the kitchen.
