Compact microwave that has lots of functions and cooks quickly. Looks great in my kitchen, excellent value for money

I quite like this little microwave. It fits snuggly on my kitchen side, in a kitchen then size of a broom closet! I do not use the grill function as I have an air fryer and a grill/oven for those needs so I can not comment on that function. It is too small to fit in a microwave baby bottle steriliser, BUT it can fit an average sized dinner plate quite nicely. It looks really smart and the buttons are so easy to use. I know some people complain about the buttons not working, but that only happens if you do not open the microwave door first. I think it is a type of security feature to stop it being used by children when nothing is in there maybe? It is easy to clean and mine get's daily use and has lasted great so far! I grew up with old manual dial microwaves so usually I stick with manual ones. I thought I would try a digital microwave for a change and I am not disappointed! I will update in a few months to reveal how it is fairing in the longevity department!

My 3rd Sharp microwave. The 1st was a big combination job, brilliant and long-lasting; 2nd was also a combination, but didn't last very long. This time I decided I only needed a very simple one, but it had to be big enough to take my 30cm dinner plates. Bizarrely, this combination one was £20 cheaper than the simple one, so I went for it. I haven't used most of its features, but it works fine for simple heating up, that being all I need it for, but it beeps excessively! The door button is easy to use, and it opens gently enough. One has to press the 'microwave' button before entering a time, which is pretty annoying - it should default to microwave - but the start button does default to 30 seconds microwave, and one can add to that with the time buttons, so not too difficult once one gets used to it. It beeps every time I press any button, and five times at the end of the programme - and it won't shut up if I immediately open the door, nor will it let me activate the Stop/Clear button while it's beeping. If I neglect to take my food/drink out of the microwave, it beeps (twice) again five minutes later, which can be helpful, but it also beeps (twice) five minutes after I have taken it out! Why? What is the point of that? Mobile phones can be set for silent operation of keys, so why can't we have a silent option on a microwave? (It should still beep at the end of the programme, but that's the only beep I ever really need to hear from my microwave!) It is very annoying that I can't use it quietly while husband is still asleep. An extra press of the Stop/Clear button removes the time display, to save energy, but it would be better if this were handled by a 'no time display' setting, rather than having to press the key again after every use.

Item arrived well before time and well packed,very nice works great could have done with a better maual with more instructions for cooking with this micro mabey I can get one on line. many thanks .

Very easy to use, has many different functions to choose from and I like the grill option, it's really worth the money and it's easy to keep it clean. It's large enough to make a meal for a few people and looks very stylish, I like the touch pad style which is better for my Osteoarthritis.

I shopped around for quite a while before deciding on this model of microwave. Having had it for some time now, it is still as good as it first seemed. It's very easy to use. The menu is almost foolproof and very self explanatory. I like that you can add 10 or 30 second increments while it's already on, for example. It's also got dedicated settings for pizza, popcorn, reheating tea, etc, if you might prefer to use them. The grill function is a great added bonus, but I think it is only realistically useful for things such as grilled cheese, rather than things that take a long time, for those, you are better with a real grill as it would be a lot faster. In my opinion this is one of the better budget microwaves available, at least at the time I purchased it, and it is still going strong.

Very good Sharp microwave - our 4th thought we'd buy the one with a grill this time but UNFORTUNATELY NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW THE GRILL OR THE COMBI FUNCTION ACTUALLY WORKS so like most products today whose manufacturers simply can't be bothered we'll have to find some tiops and guidance on line

Very good and reliable, thank you

the corner of the door cracked and small piece broken . now it is not safe to use

I have owned Sharp microwaves before and was very happy with them. After just a few months the film over the buttons I use most [1 minute, 10 seconds, Start] has worn away and the metal is visible. The film is not durable enough. Otherwise it works fine. Just looks bad... .
