First time I have bought a Sharp model for anything electric gand very pleased. Even though its one of the cheapest it has some handy features. The defrost settings actually work, there is a one press button that turns it on for one minute and the heating dinner plates button saves me using the oven to warm up the plates. Ignore the complaint about the amount of water generated Its because its more efficient Highly recommended
Normally a fan of Sharp products and I suspect it is a good microwave, clean, apparently useful functions but I can’t read them without all the lights on (a torch?) and my glasses.
Debating whether to keep or return.
good budget microwave.
only two “cons”
1: produces a lot of condensation. (keep door open after use to let dry out)
2: no single press button to auto start 30 secs of heating, like other microwave ovens have (this one does it in 1 min presses)
Like the product, happy with the microwave..
what i am not happy with is it is silver…my order was for a green microwave to match the tiles in the kitche
We’ve had a few microwaves over the years of various brands but this one has impressed straight away by being very efficient, our old one was the same power rating but never as good as this.
Didn’t particularly want one with preset menus and took a week of referring to the instructions to get used too but worth it as the results are better, especially the defrost.
Having lived with the damage, less than a year later the door has dropped so that it won’t close. Sharp say this is “physical damage” and isn’t covered under the guarantee. So if the door falls off after a couple of weeks – too bad.
Sharp customer service is non-existent but thanks to Amazon the faulty microwave has been replaced. So thanks to them. The new one doesn’t stand steady and the door looks a bit crooked – as though in transit it might have been dropped on one corner. But it works and when it doesn’t I’ll buy another brand.
I’ve had the microwave for a month now and it has served us well. We are huge users and it seems to cook at a reasonably fast speed. It does have some sweating after cooking microwave meals for over 8 minutes (thus 4 star rating) but not as much as our previous one. One criticism is I wish the push and go was in 30 second increments and not minute. I love the white colour as it blends well into our white cupboards. This is not a big microwave so no huge roast cooking or plates bigger than a normal dinner plate but that works for us. After much comparison, the price was good for what you got than compared to other comparable models.
UPDATE: Mr V is correct, the plastic was removeable and obviously there to protect it in transit. I am a sillybilly. 🙂
Lovely looking design …..easy to use display….but the only downfall like most microwaves now is the fact there’s no weight in them so when you need a lot of strength to push the door release button the microwave tips and moves, which means you need both hands to open and steady it, which isn’t practical when you have the dish that’s going into it in
one hand….. I’ve sworn a few times due to this ….. and when you are busy cooking for a large family and rushing about it can drive ya nuts ….but like I said they are all like that now
Bought for an elderly neighbour. His previous one corroded inside but I think this was because it did not get wiped out after heating soup. We have always had a Sharp although ours is a combination oven, and are pleased with it. Our last one was 20 years old when it gave up! Too soon to tell if our neighbour will be as fortunate!
*JUST ONE IMPORTANT NOTE* This may have been down to my own ignorance, but there is a piece of shiny cardboard type material on the inside of the microwave on the right-hand side that MUST NOT be removed. When I opened the microwave I thought it was packaging and removed it. When I double checked in the manual I saw that this was actually a Wave Guide Cover and that the microwave should not be used without it. Luckily they sell spares online so I managed to replace it at a minor cost and very little hassle. The lesson here is: ALWAYS READ THE MANUAL and READ IT THOROUGHLY.
Generally, the microwave is good. It does it’s job and is easy to use. I like the digital display – our previous microwave was on a more “traditional” timer, so could be a little more difficult to get timings perfect. However, I would say it is a little on the small side – we can just about fit an average sized dining plate in it (great for the worktop though!) There’s only the two of us so we don’t really find this too much of an issue.
We paid 52 for the microwave – perhaps a little pricey, but, it does the job and is easy to use, so happy with the item itself.
If you want a smaller Micro as a backup for conventional cookers, especially reheating etc, this ticks all the boxes I have. You could save a few quid on a different manufacturer, but I like the Sharp product…
