    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

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersVirtually impossible to read the function buttons unless in a well lit area and with 20/20 vision. White print on light grey background – whose idea was that!?!
    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)

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWe needed a new microwave after the previous one started making concerning noises. This one is average, quite simple but does the job. The user interface is easy to navigate, it took a little fiddling to set the clock but once done it was working well. I find cleaning this microwave not as easy as I hoped, especially the top part is hard to thoroughly clean which I think is due to the texture of the material used, it seems porous so any food splash or stain is firmly stuck there. The button to open the door is a little too loud for my linking and occasionally gets locked but the microwave is sufficiently functional for our needs

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is the second time I have purchased this microwave. The first one I bought lasted for 4 years and then I started to notice that it had gone rusty on the ceiling and bits of rust etc was flaking off onto whatever I was microwaving. So it needed replacing although I have to say it still worked fine. On doing further research on this microwave and others I found out that this is a common problem. I was looking to buy a different model this time but after my research I decided that this microwave still suited me perfectly and I liked the controls etc. It’s easy to use, as all the features I need and is good value for the price. My only advice, which I am following now, is to ensure you wipe it down after every use to ensure it is dry and hopefully keeps the rust at bay.

    Golden Review Award: 18 From Our UsersI think I’ve reviewed this appliance before but among so many other reviews I can’t find my own to edit it. This is an excellent microwave that still functions perfectly after more than five years. The controls and functions are fine and easy to use once you get the hang of it. Reading the manual is always a good idea. BUT… It has just one weakness, which is the interior enamelling. The steel under the paint is prone to rust and cause the the finish to peel off; indeed on the “roof” inside it is bubbling and occasional bits have fallen off into the food or drink being heated. For this reason I have to throw away an otherwise perfectly good appliance. It’s a shame because In every other respect I really like it.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe microwave is fine and replaces one exactly the same, as I really like it. However, this one arrived with a big scratch on the top and I can’t find an option to contact the seller, so I’ll have to live with it.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAnd a make I trust….
    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

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersBought this microwave as a replacement, as ours unfortunately broke in a house move! We’ve had it for about a month now.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersFor years i have only had a manual microwave as my elderly grandfather lives with us and needed something simple for him to use. Unfortunately my microwave went to heaven and a replacement was needed quickly. After reading the reviews i am so glad i picked this one. What can i say, its fantastic for him, all he has to do is push the start button and it warms he’s sasauge rolls for 1 min, if he needs it longer he just keeps pushing the button and it goes up by a minute. The only down side is, if you cook liquid in it for a longer than 5 mins the steam is quite bad inside the micro, but i found living the door open for a minute or so once you remove item helps, if not a little wipe down with a tea towel takes a second and resolves the problem. All in all im very happy with this product and would definately buy this make again.
