    Don’t buy sharp microwave

    1/5
    Used it for 3mins before it started vibrating and a smell of burning and got very very hot and cut out

    Do not buy!

    1/5
    The oven takes longer than expected to heat up and does not maintain consistent temperature. The grill does not brown despite food being under it for longer than a conventional grill - pale sausages that look uncooked are really unappetising! The air fryer has no instructions about what to cook the food in. I think maybe you have to buy an air fryer basket as it was not provided? Overall, does not work as expected and very disappointed.

    Disappointing

    3/5
    Was replacement for our previous 31 year old model by same manufacturer. It was also a combination oven with keypad but was 29L. This one is bigger (42L but turntable plate is smaller!) And noisier. It does what it is supposed to do but the child lock is a nuisance. The plastic coating is already wearing off the Start key and is unsightly after less than 4 weeks use!

    I am quite sure that this is a good microwave, but I have absolutely no idea how to use it, which trays etc to use when, nor how long to cook anything for! The instruction manual is minimal, there are no recipes. Consequently, when I tried to cook simple jacket potatoes this evening, they were a disaster! I tried combi...but they were just like microwave potatoes. I was worried about using anything other than the glass tray. I can't find anything online either!!!!

    Decent, but with a few little frustrations

    3/5
    It is big. It does most aspects of its job well. It looks modern and snazzy, too. However, I wish the few included cooking trays/stands were more thought through and fitted together better. It is disappointing that there is no way to slide in trays; everything has to stand on one of the two round supports included, and they don't fit particularly well onto the recess in the base. It is also frustrating that there doesn't appear to be a way to set the timer on the oven to cook for longer than an hour. The controls could be a lot more intuitive, too. So, it is fine, but I wouldn't go better than that.

    High capacity Sharp Combi-Microwave old and new.

    4/5
    Over 10 years, I had two successive models of the previous Sharp 40l combi microwave. I loved it and didn’t use my conventional oven again. Although the old model is still available, I got this newer model and even though it is 42l capacity rather than the old one, it is tiny in comparison. That said, I have no complaints at all about this oven- although I am still working my way through all the features. So far at least, it works great and there is no learning curve from the previous one.

    Solid large microwave

    4/5
    Good solid microwave with plenty of features. Very deep microwave for a standard worktop and sits right at the front of the units and needs lots of room all around it so look out for that. Quite a small metal oven plate and rack included but rubberised base which is useful. Stainless finish looks good to front although size of top of unit is a bit overwhelming if jist sat on a worktop. Will see how it goes and how reliable it is now.
