Sharp Microwave
Ideal for my needs, smaller than my previous microwave, but I’m fine with that. I love the digital display, and easy to use the control panel, much better than knobs. I recommend this microwave.
I needed to replace my old microwave and went for this one, the price was extremely good, having tried out various options I have found it produces perfectly cooked food. Having the option to use various preprogrammed makes it very versatile and perform perfectly. It produces perfectly hot food on various powers. The stainless steel finish means it fits into the kitchen decor easily.
Miss door handle and ligh
I have poor vision even with glasses and find the small numbers on timer difficult to see. On my previous budget microwave the light came on inside the oven which was far better than the light just coming when the timer is on like this one.
Would have sent it back but far the inconvenience of doing it.
Nice fast microwave
I like the speed of the microwave much better than my old one. Stylish and fits nicely in a small kitchen. Bit hard to press button for selections.
I would recommend providing you are not to old to deal with being firm on controls
Good Quality Microwave
I bought this for my parents to replace their broken one. They are pleased with it. Its easy to use, a good size, has a nice appearance and good quality.
Nice looking little microwave, easy to use ,needs to be up against the wall as when you push door open button the microwave slides on worktop.
Quite and fits normal dinner plate inside.
I bought this microwave 4 years ago so obviously out of warranty
Paint started to peel off as shown in the video I then noticed the metal plate is missing inside
This has taken me a while to notice but it’s not something I actually would have looked for – I will in the future !
It has now started to arc very badly so can no longer use
Sadly I replaced my fully working microwave for this one because it was smaller.
Very disappointing
Great purchase
I needed a microwave that wasn’t too tall to fit under a low cabinet. This microwave was perfect for the space. A normal size dinner plate fits into it fine. It’s easy to use. Very happy.
Manual not included
I love the product and description clearly states manual included, however it isn’t nd after many discussions I was involved in 3way conversation with amazon and Sharp and sharp have not rung me back as promised to sort sending me a manual. I do not have means to print and reading instructions on the phone is not practical. I am still waiting despite being promised a call from sharp 4days ago and it took 3 chat attempts to get assurances that have not been fulfilled. This may seem silly to most but as a person with disabilities, it is frustrating and still no resolve. Not happy!!
After reading alot of the reviews was a bit sceptical however generally I’m pleased with this microwave. Well made/finished good internal size simple to operate functions well and easy to clean.
Size is not as advertised and it’s a bit clunky and buttons can be a bit unresponsive but it easy to use and I’ve got used to it!!
This review is for the
SHARP YC-MS01U-B Compact 20 Litre 800W Manual control Microwave, 5 power levels, defrost function, LED cavity light – Black
Pros -1) Easy to use – just set the power and timer knobs. Theses are manual controls, not electronic so hopefully will prove reliable in the long term. If you like “uncomplicated” then this is for you.
2) Compact size so ideal in a smaller environment.
3) Appears well made and looks good.
4) Value for money.
Cons – 1) Internal light only comes on when cooking. All other times it is off.
2) Supplied with a Quick Start Guide leaflet which is very basic. You have to download a more comprehensive leaflet on-line.
3) No warranty details apart from ” Take unit to a dealer with proof of purchase”.
My previous Microwave was the same make ie Sharp. Which I had for a number of years trouble free.
I decided to upgrade and so chose another Sharp microwave.
I am delighted with this replacement.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality
5.0 out of 5 stars Compact stylish microwave
As I am elderly and. Suffer with eyesight problems so needed a microwave.that was easy to use it took quite a while to find this one as most microwaves are digital this has two knobs one for time and one for heat settings easy to use inside is stainless steel and easy to wipe clean overall it’s a compact nice looking microwave heats up quickly I’m well pleased
5.0 out of 5 stars Best product and price range
Looks same as what displayed in pictures.
Functionality as advertised
Easy to wipe and clean
No issues with touch buttons as described in many reviews. Sealed button style is perfect for everyday use preventing dust particles going in the switches.
Overall best experience so fa
Wanted a similar microwave to the one I was replacing and found this as the same make only slightly smaller. It holds a large dinner plate so perfect for us. Controls are very easy to use and clear. We wanted one with seconds as some things we warm up only need 20 seconds and some microwaves only do minutes and that’s to long. We have now used it for four weeks and have no complaints as working well.
Excellent and easy to use microwave, with good volume and power range. It is straightforward to use. My only complaint is that the duration of the operation is difficult to set accurately as the controls are simple rotating knobs with no numerical digital gauges. The door is simply pulled to open, so no push button. However, these are the things that makes it easy to use.
So if you like things simple and easy to use, this may be one to consider.
Not the cheapest, but a good reliable brand – this is the second of this make that I have used. Its been in use now for about 6 weeks and so far so good.
The delivery was fine; it is a good product, however it is let down by the inside plate which barely slots into place and does come off regularly, unless I was given the wrong one for the product, hence less than 5 stars.
This replaced a more expensive Panasonic which eventually failed after 20 years. It is unfair to compare the two but I cannot help it. The Panasonic was larger and pretty well all stainless steel whereas the Sharp is not . The inside is painted in a dark blue – a lighter colour would have been better.
It looks smart and certainly does the job so I would recommend i
I am still getting used to it at the moment because it seems to be more powerful than my old one, it seems to be a good easy to use microwave, I use it for cooking vegetables, reheating and starting food off prior to the oven or air fryer. It does what I want and at reasonable price, no complaints off me.
Good size and ideal for small family. More powerful than I thought and heats up food far more quickly than my old microwave. Taken 1 point from review as the start button can sometimes be a bit fussy to operate if you don’t press it dead centre.
Smaller in size and slightly lighter in weight. Quiet and not so load ping. Light only comes on when in use so you can leave the door open to dry out the inside. Its very dark so cant see any splashes on the inside. Always cover food to avoid moisture build up.
I think it had been dropped as it doesn’t stand flat. It’s working and I have already waited 5 weeks for it. Nothing fancy basic microwave.
Microwave
Quality of goods , nice appearance
Works well
Easy to use
Bort as a replacement in silver instead.
The black one lasted me around about 3 years due too leaving the door open after cooking and the back window opened a tad. I add too put it out for scrap yesterday minus the plug. As it was extremely dangerous too use and was turning into a rust bucket inside. A few weeks before I noticed brown specks. I guessed it was Rust on the newspaper it was standing on, on the kitchen table. I was still cooking food it upto a week before. It looked ok inside. I didn’t notice any signs of rust appearing. Tuesday it didn’t. Cook my microwave oven readymade macaroni cheese dish. It seemed too be cold. Hot underneath the plastic dish. And I don’t know about the small fly that fled in beforehand. Source me leave the door open a tad after cooking too let the steam dissipate. It saves you keep buying a new microwave oven every 12 months, or less. Found this method out by accident. Nothings ever mentioned in the microwave instructions books about this old method of mine. I Even posted it on Facebook.
It is a microwave oven!!
Excellent choice for me. It does everything I need it to do.
Ideal for those confused by digital microwaves
Purchased for my elderly mother (age 100 years) and she has found the manual controls very easy to use.
Fabulous
Very happy does exactly what it says on the box thrilled with it. Good value.
Great Buy, great Price!
It is just the right size for sitting on top of the work top, unobtrusive and stylish. But the great thing is for us that it is so simple to operate. Self explanatory without the instructions!
Bought two to replace existing two old Sharp microwaves. Overall an excellent product. Small bad points: being white on black, the various control panel markings are difficult to see in poor light; even a short (2 min) warm up of a plate of food causes a build-up of condensation on the inside of the door and inside walls of the microwave which we have to wipe down and/or leave door open for a while. Lastly, compared with our previous Sharps, this product is lighter and therefore prone to ‘walking’ about on the working surface, especially when pressing the ‘open door’ button.
It's ok
It’s not the best feels a bit cheap but does the job. It feels it takes longer to heat then my previous one
Button press very firm
This is a good quality product but I find you have to press the control buttons firm.
Great Value
Had for a few months and no problems so far. Does everything as should and decent price
I love that the inside is a beautiful grey and not white. It has lots of useful functions but doesn’t fit dinner plates bigger than 10 inches or 25 cm. 5 more centimetres inside would have made all the difference.
It does make a lot of condensation, so needs wiping out after each use to prevent rust, but other than that a great addition to the kitchen and we’re fairly happy with it.
Missing one star as it doesn’t fit a standard dinner plate and has the option to heat a dinner plate.
The quick setup guide could do with a website link to be able to use the full features of the microwave. Not the easiest control panel to use, but other features are better than the competition, so not unhappy overall.
Decent microwave ove
Simple to operate. Does what it says on the ti
Small footprint for its power size
All good except dials difficult to read due to size and colour and maybe a problem for older people like myself.
All of the above plus it saves on energy bills.
I like everything about it.Easy to use and to keep clean.
Very cost effective produc
I’ve found the operation on settings & use are very clear to use, especially the on screen and display settings are very clear to use.
Replacement microwave
Having had my old microwave since 1978 I was in floods when it eventually gave up the ghost. Minefield chosing a replacement. It’s OK but definitely not as well made as my old one!
Lasted 13 months- blew up Xmas day !
Pretty good for the 13 months it lasted . I’ve had a few of these Sharp basic microwaves , they’re good . Guess I was just unlucky with this one . The front opening is a bit narrow for a decent dinner plate . The quick start function is 30 seconds rather than a minute on previous models .
Good price, seems decent quality works well, we only use it for basic heating of food , only issue we have you can only get a small dinner plate in if your warming up meals, otherwise its great.
It’s good value
Nothing to dislike. Really good value for the money. Simple to use
Does the same job as Panasonic at half the price.
Controls are a bit fiddly but otherwise does all I ask of it.
Sharp manual timer microwave
Good value and easy to use. Timer not easy for trying to time in part minutes but we knew it was manual when we bought it.
Have a fire extinguisher nearby
Bought in April of 2020. Used sparingly for two years (popcorn, pudding etc). Now shoots flames and sparks from the side. Lucky I was nearby.
Spend extra and get a better unit. Buy once, cry once.
SHARP 900W Solo Digital Microwave Ove
This was ordered in error as once it arrived we realised that it did not have the grill.
Otherwise it was 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, it would do what it says in the box.
Not a top class but perfect for daily use
Good product for daily use. Easy to move since it is also pretty light.
Small full metal easy to clea
This one has it is a metal no grill one, and it is really easy to clean it properly without any resistance/corner that stop you to clean it up. It is going to have almost two years already!!. The power (800W) looks more like 900W or 1.000W.
It is big enough to put a usual big plate inside and tall enough to get a full chicken (but a bit tight to put also a microwave cover on the big ones).
The time control a bit weird at first, but you get the trick very soon.
It stops working after a while
When I first got this microwave, the worked fine, I loved it. Then suddenly I try to use it and it just rotates without heating up.
So I wrote to Amazon and got a replacement.
Well guess what? 2 months later, the replacement has also stopped heating up.
Very disappointed. These things should last for years.
Super Little Microwave
We are really impressed with this compact microwave. It is very powerful & heats food very evenly. Easy to clean & easy to use. Definitely very happy to recommend.
Good value for money
Simplistic operation, it needs longer to cook than my previous so not quite as powerful. But good value for Money.
Good product but it was dropped and dented when arrived
Good product but it was dropped and dented when arrived
Cheap and does the kob
This oven does the job, has the most basic functions and it’s not the strongest in terms of power but it does the job and it’s value for money.
It’s fine for it’s price
I’m a pensioner and I have stopped cooking for myself. I only use it to heat up my frozen meals . I like the simplicity of it but the writing on the timer knob is quite difficult to read and understand. I think a touch pad would suit my tricky eyesight better .
It is easy to keep clean and serves it’s purpose.
The microwave is exactly what you expect. Well made but with the usual issue of using knobs that mean it’s difficult to put on for short periods of time.
An ok machine
Does what it was bought for well.
It could be better with easier and clearer settings,very dark
Good produc
Need to press the microwave button on every use which is a bit annoying. Otherwise good value for the price.
Good basic microwave
Great value with free prime trial next day delivery.
Works as expected. Would recommend.
(Bought to replace an inferior Cookworks one which actually caught fire in use.)
Timenot easy to read
The timing knob is not very easyto read as unlike my old micro the time intervals are not consistent with the actual time but get narrower in space as they elapse.
Brillia
Compact, looks good, easy to use, ie: idiot proof, good price. Just needed one that didn’t need brains to use and this is it. Would recommend for someone like minded, not technically minded that is.
Nice easy to use micro
Perfect little microwave,easy to use,no fiddly digital buttons just turn the knob to the amount of time you wanna cook for.,worth what I payed.
Pleased with purchase
The one issue with this is the load ding. Despite considerable research I’ve not been able to find out to reduce loudness or switch sound off unlike with earlier models
It's a nice looking microwave.
There is a slight smell as others have said, I’m presuming its cos it’s new. Does wot it says on the box
Does what it says on the ti
Very well packaged. Good value for money and being white is easy to clean as you can easily see if you have missed anywhere. It was slightly noisy but this was rectified by putting a sweety jar on the top. First rate at cooking/heating and defrosting food.
Microwave
Liked the compact size.
Outer shell is covered in plastic which has quickly become snagged on regular use buttons – already looking slightly dowdy!
Instruction leaflet not very comprehensive – have had to guess how some operations work!
High-powered and a good size. Big enough to steam a large bowl of vegetables.
Simple controls — you just turn one dial for the power setting and another for the cooking time. You can set it going, then adjust the power level or cooking time with no need to stop and restart.
What I like best about this microwave oven is its absence of annoying features:
* No beeping digital touchpad
* No pointless pictures of chicken legs, pizza slices or potatoes
* No clock to reset every time there’s a power blip
Best of all, it emits a single ‘ping’ when the cooking time has ended. My previous microwave oven would beep three times, then repeat at regular intervals, until I did something with it.
Whilst this is exactly what I was looking for, if you want to time your cooking to the precise second, this is probably not for you.
Average
Good price but i’m not keen on the buttons. There is no feel to them and they are quite small. The main button (start +30 seconds) is already marked when it is pressed with your fingernail. Overall it is okay for the price but I would not buy this brand again.
Great basic microwave which also looks good
We don’t want to roast chicken or cook a three course meal or having to enter weights and half a dozen functions to start cooking. This microwave does exactly what you need with two knobs, jacket potatoes, soup, milk etc. simply and efficiently sorted. Our last Sharp microwave lasted eighteen years.
Could be bette
It works and is easy to use. I personally don’t like that the metal case can move out of position when carrying this product. Also it makes a terrible slam sound closing the door. When running it’s quite noisy.
So good & easy to use
We wanted a no fuss microwave with straight forward dials, not fancy keypads etc. This fits the bill nicely. Several sizes to choose from including the one we wanted, works a treat, so simple. We showed it to our elderly parents, who bought one too, then my brother also bought one & all parties are happy. If you want a straight forward, no fuss microwave from a name you can trust, this one has got to be worth a try.
Excellent performance and can see what's cooking!
This was a replacement for an earlier model Sharp microwave which cooked quickly and evenly. Unfortunately a heavy window mesh and inadequate light made it impossible to monitor food being cooked so one couldn’t see whether milk was boiling over. It also had a clock which ran slow and couldn’t be read in bright light. This model solves these problems with a much brighter light (now LED) and an accurate and visible in all lighting clock/timer in a nice shade of blue. Cooking performance can’t be faulted.
Excellent product the only thing is the clock illuminates but the rest of the panel doesn’t so hard to see otherwise I would’ve gave it 5 out of five.
Powerful and a good size.
It’s straightforward to use although the touch pad controls can be temperamental. Also it doesn’t feel as solid as our previous microwave (a 900 watt DeLonghi) on which the door closed quietly but with a reassuring ‘clunk’, whereas the Sharp door closes with a very loud metallic ‘slam’ sound and the turntable is noisier. (I suspect both these issues are due to the metallic construction). Having said that, it cooks quickly and evenly and has a much larger interior enabling it’s use for larger quantities and bigger cookware.
It still represents excellent value for money and would be ideal for the larger household.
A good quality microwave
It’s easy to use , does everything I want it fo
I was very pleased to find a little microwave that fit my tiny kitchen and my tiny budget. It’s small but my 17.25cm dinner plate fits perfectly. I love the one-touch 30 second button, and that you can add an extra 30 seconds or more whilst the food is still cooking. This feature is ideal when making microwave popcorn.
My only complaint is that the button is very hard to push. The whole microwave moves when I open the door. But overall, I’m pleased with the microwave.
Would recommend this microwave.
Very pleased with this microwave. Easy to use and good value for money.
Great but one annoying feature
Excellent all round at cooking and also defrosting (where my previous microwave failed miserably when half would be still frozen and the other half warm). But there is one REALLY annoying feature and that is that you have to push the mechanical door button to open the door if you want to use it as a timer (Why?!). Also, if you place it in the ECO mode (display off) then again you have to open the door to operate it. So if you want to use it as a timer or even if you have placed what you want to cook later in it, again you have to open the door first. Why?! In fact once it has completed one task you HAVE to open the door to do another. It’s really annoying but you soon get used to it and it really is a great microwave for the price.
Stylish, functional and powerful
Quite potent compared to anything else I have had before
Delivered on time and easy to use
It is doing exactly like what it was described. A bit smaller than I was expecting and you wont be able to fit in a big plate, but it’s good enough for me at this price.
Nice microwave
Smaller than my previous one which was 900 watt, I opted for this as many of the microwave food my son likes is down on the box to cook at 800 watt, so this is ideal. Saves having to work out the wattage on an older model. Slowly getting used to using it, slightly more complicated compared to my previous one. But I’m sure I will beat it before long. This model does popcorn which I have’nt tried yet, jacket potatoes done to perfection, hot drinks and even a plate warming setting. Looking forward to seeing what else it can do.
