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.
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!
Love flat no revolving microwave. Fits in good sized cookware. Microwave takes longer than my old one? Maybe there’s a reason or faulty, but no instructions only showing where buttons are.
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.
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.
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.
Amazing I love this finally I’ve got a microwave that my big dinner plates fit in. Super powerful to I highly recommend this microwave to anyone looking for a little something extra looks amazing to bonus
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:)
Only had it about 6 weeks,but so far really pleased with i
Great microwave and size. Bought a different one previously and was too small. This is the perfect size. Great for cooking and warming food up. The buttons are great with quick 30sec starts which can be increased. Power is good and warms food up fast. Great quality produc
Love this microwave still trying out the different features but very pleased with it so fa
I found my old Sharp microwave to be so good I bought another!
It’s the most I ve ever spent on a microwave but I got it on sale. Does what I need it too do. Its pretty heavy for what it is.
Decent microwave oven and grill easy to clean.
The one flaw is the oven needs setting at max to cook at the same speed as 180 degree setting on fan ove
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.
I was mindful of needing a microwave thats interior was robust and would not bubble or rust like prior.
This one seemed to tick all the boxes on reviews, and I’ve not been disappointed at all.
Its a nice compact size, ideal for smaller kitchens. It comes with a grill stand and an instruction manual.
Easy to use straight out of the box. The buttons are self explanatory and took little time to recall the standard features of pressing microwave and time.
Other features are handy, using combination grill and microwave or defrost. You can do these by timer or use the preset feature buttons for most common items to cook or defrost.
First time ever with a Flatbed microwave which was a great thing to have.
Oven+Microwave option is also quite good with this oven.
But grill seems not powerful like we thought and that’s the reason I’m reducing that one sta
