We last bought a microwave oven in 1998. This was a Sharp, and used it pretty heavily. Then, it began making flashes that alarmed us, and smelling of burned plastic. Time, we thought, for a replacement. We decided on this Sharp model.
It does everything that a microwave is supposed to do. We find the controls more intuitive than on the older model – not surprising, as we never could find the patience with those LED menus and sub-menus. The stationary cooking surface is useful, as we can week shapes and sizes that would otherwise need a bigger oven.
Some reviewers have complained about the noise. We also were concerned about this at first. For a while, we thought of sending the oven back. However, though it must be as loud as ever, we no longer notice the noise. Unless it’s tooth pain or taxes, you do get used to most things. If you have thin walls and sniffy neighbours, the noise might be an issue. Not so for us.
So we like it.
Our just over one year old microwave had the paintwork start to fall off and so needed replacing. I have always liked flatbed microwaves as you can fit so much more in them and this Sharp model didn’t disappoint. Firstly it looks stunning, I love the design. It has an external handle to open the door which I much prefer to the push button type. The controls are nicely laid out and the dial to set the time is so much nicer than the push button type. The cooking results of this microwave have been great and everything cooks evenly. The fan noise is a little on the high side compared to others but not too bad.
The biggest plus point for me is that you can turn off all the annoying and over the top bleeping noises that all electrical devices seem to insist on these days. When the microwave has finished cooking it just stops and displays end to let you know it’s finished. So much nicer than lots of annoying bleeping.
In conclusion I really like this microwave and hope it lasts a long time.
I like the flatbedicrowaves as it’s gives much more room in the cavity. It’s simple enough to programme and has pre-set features. Nice looking black with silver trim. Good price for a flatbed
The only issues I’m having are regarding the ease of use. The panel under the programs is really confusing, even simple things like changing time is very counter-intuitive. Also, I dislike the fact that you can’t specify an exact power (700W, 600W, etc.) but rather you select values between 10 & 100. Sure, you can look up the corresponding values either online or in manual but who would be checking it every time you’re using a microwave.
To sum up, it’s a good quality microwave but I only recommend it for people who are not bad with technology. My parents are struggling significantly with using this microwave while they have no issues with using their Samsung microwave at home, which is way clearer and easier.
