Buying on amazon Sent: 18 October 2008
We found that this microwave was £50 dearer in the shops. We ordered on Friday afternoon and to our amazement it arrived Saturday morning, what service. We have had a Sharps microwave for the last 13 years and are really pleased with the new one although we have only just unpacked it
Could not get better Sent: 15 October 2008
We have used a large combinations since 1989 ( 2 x sanyo ) and they have been perfect for two people.We now have a young son so have now opted
for two built in combis as we plan to remod our kitchen next year but until then we have purchased the Sharp due to the Sanyo breaking down.
We purchased it for £150, what more can i say. Its big (40Ltr) and will
fit on a standard depth worktop with a little room to spare.
The oven bakes, roasts, grills and microwaves, a one stop shop if you like. We have never owned a standard oven and never will when there is ovens like this on the the market that do so much.
For a couple of people you would never need a normal oven and for a family
its perfect as an additional workhorse.
Its the business and does what it says on the tin Sent: 28 September 2008
I ordered this item after reading reviews on here and placed the order on 23rd September. After a problem with my credit card I finally ordered on 24th September with an anticipated delivery date of 3rd-10th October so imagine my delight when it arrived on 27th September, 3 days after placing the order!
I have never used a dual convection/convection/grill/microwave oven before, my previous one was 15 years old and out of the arc! Anyway I wanted an oven that could cook my Sunday dinner to the same quality as my fan assisted oven which I felt was costing too much money to run and so was looking for ways to save on my electicity. Well was I impressed with the performance of this microwave - I certainly was! I cooked a small leg of lamb in 35 minutes along with my roasted potatoes and they were done exactly right, crisp and browned too! In my fan oven to cook this leg of lamb and keep it tender would have taken me at least 1 and a half hours at the very least.
I found the controls are straight forward once you realise there are more functions and therefore more buttons to set for the different types of cooking. It is smart in appearance too and so versatile, you can cook everything from frozen oven chips to a full 3 course meal (although I haven't tried the other recipes yet). My husband is a very critical person and did not believe it could cook a Sunday lunch until I did it and he had to admit that it tasted just as good as the fan oven. We have been cooking our vegetables on the hob still but as we have problems with potatoes going into the water, have now decided to give it a try in the microwave where they don't have to be cooking for so long as on a hob.
Hopefully we will end up with potatoes cooked but not disintegrated!
I would give this microwave top score and if it proves as good with other meal ideas I will be over the moon (especially as I am saving on electricity too, which is no mean feat these days).
It's the dogs b********!! Sent: 17 July 2008
Just bought this one to replace the earlier model. I had this for six years and apart from christmas time has completely replaced my conventional oven. Yes it is a bit large but that is it's best feature! We use this to cook a full roast for six people with no problems. I can't praise this item enough. Saves time and more importantly saves money!
Don't hesitate. Buy one!
Outstanding oven! Sent: 03 June 2008
This is a great oven with decent features. I have used it regularly over two years, for cooking roasts (including Christmas Turkey Dinner) and it even functions reasonably as a pizza oven (with the fan assist I'm sure it passes 250c). It has a quick menu that allows you to access it's programmed modes such as baked potatoes - which take about 25 mins and come soft inside with crispy skin. I now have a standard oven, it's only advantage over the Sharp is it's capacity, however the Sharp has many advantages over it including: microwave; flexible timers; turntable. It comes with a shelf so you can cook two things at once i.e. roast beef and roast potatoes. Even if you have a conventional oven this makes an ideal second oven, highly recomended!
