This is a great microwave.The flat bed design is great as you can use rectangular pots rather than trying to find a suitable circular one, it also makes cleaning easier.Everything cooked so far has cooked quickly and evenly with the grill/combo feature being an added bonus as you can re-crisp the food rather than having the normal soggy microwaved offerings.I particularly like the pull down door and the little ‘skirt’ around the front of the appliance which prevents food getting underneath

I have had several micros on which the chrome on the controls has worn out, no chance of that happening with this very neat looking drop down door. Easy to use even for my technofobe wife and she is impressed with the performance. A good feature is the lack of turntable so fewer parts to clean, and as there are no moving parts less to go wrong. If you put a large rectangular dish in if the door shuts it will work, no jamming as the turntable rotates. We are extremely pleased with our purchase.

There is some uncertainty as to whether this combi microwave just has an additional grill and a fan, or includes an additional element for the convection function. I suspect not. It is cheap for something that will microwave, grill, and bake. Easy to use - the automatic microwave + 'oven' buttons do what they say, and it microwaves and grills to perfection. You can bake loaves and cakes once you've sussed what temperature to set and how long to leave them in for. Haven't tried roasting yet.

So after 17 years, my little basic microwave stopped working. It had served me well. But it was time to look at different options available. I've only had the Sharp 900w for 2 weeks but I'm impressed so far. You can microwave as standard, but also grill and bake with the convection oven function. Words to the wise though. The top of the microwave gets hot so don't put anything on it whilst it's on, especially using the oven function. It's a great all rounder and easy to use and clean.

Bought this as a replacement for previous Sharp combi microwave which lasted 15 years! If this is as good, I will be delighted. We cooked roast chickens, crispy skins jacket potatoes in the old version yet to try them out in the new one. The controls and auto buttons are much the same and easy to use. Like the door opening out & the flatbed (turntable gave out on the previous one). Really like the Sharp microwaves for their robustness and sturdiness. Great power output and very reliable.

Works well. Fairly simple to operate.Single button press for start in microwave mode is good. One press = 30 seconds full power.Conventional oven with pre-heat is a good feature.Like the drop down door and the lack of turntable.Clear display, but lacks conventional oven actual temperature indication.Purchased because it has a conventional oven as well as microwave. The oven uses only 60% of the power of my standard oven. No good for a roast but great for most of my oven cooking needs

Not the cheapest by far but it has doubles as an oven. It seems quite a good microwave but tends to heat in 'spots' try and soften butter and after 10 seconds you get a small liquid-filled hole. The oven function is excellent. Being a smaller space it heats up far quicker than my conventional oven and is also fan assisted. The rear has a projection that means it sits quite far forward on a work surface. It is very noisy at 75dB. Looks good but the noise, size and cost let it down overall.

Best addition to my kitchen ever ! Having one unit for micro / grill /oven is so useful and, it also looks really great ! I find the drop down door a real boon - no door creeping shut while putting stuff in/out. Also, no glass turntable to slip around and make funny noises during use. I love this product and recommend it to everyone. I have not found any down side or problems, although it is quite a bit larger than the average microwave - but - in my view, worth it for the extra facilities.

Cannot fault performance. It's a bit "chunky" looking. The convection oven heas to 200C in about 5 minutes The supplied baking tray has good non tick coating and, like the oven itself, is very easy to clean. The wire trivet is a bit flimsy One feature I really like is that the 'end' sign stays one for one minute just right for standing time. One thing - the box it comes in is large and awkward to carry so park close to the store or better still have it delivered. Mine came in less than 4 hours

A great mid-range microwave - plenty of space for large plates and dishes.You access the interior via the door which opens from top to bottom vs opening up from the right-hand side which, as it turns out, is a wonderful space-saver in small and/or narrow kitchens.Easy user guide with great grilling feature for those not a fan of soggy reheated meals.Doesn't keep beeping its 'finished' alert once you open the door...handy if you're trying to microwave in stealth/not wake the household :)

Stylish,no turntable more space (25L) cooks in similar times to our old oven Can melt cheese on top using Grill . Poor instructions with no guidance on microwave/Grill /convection settings. A few dish examples with settings would be a start for a new owner.Seems nicely built but top wobbles a bit like Rolfs wobble board. Main problem is the noise, it sounds like a Jumbo Jet coming in to land at Gatwick ! Overall I would still purchase and look forward to experimenting with the various modes

Love the flatbed, so much easier not to have to worry about handles catching as it goes round because it doesn't.. Pull down door is much simpler than a sideways open one as no problem with opening it and no worries about where to place it in the kitchen. I've used the three, combination oven, grill and microwave. My only gripes are it seems to brown more on one side so turn it round and the power 'buttons. I have to be careful I'm pressing the correct one But over all very happy with it:-)

While this combination microwave is fulfilling what l have used it for so far..l do feel that not enough information is in the handbook. For instance when l contacted Sharp about using the baking tray on micro/convection mode, l was told that it was coated so that microwaves could be used. anothe consultant said no it shoudn't be used! Also an upturned plate has to be used in micromode as nothing should be flat on glass base . It would have been helpful to have ideas for recipes combo mode

I needed a new combination microwave, and wanted to try the new style flatbed,, but I didn't want to pay a few hundered pounds and be disappointed, so I did a lot of research before settling on this one. Well, it has sure paid off! Not only has it a COMBI OVEN, and a GRILL plus a FLATBED, it was also a brilliant price! So, if you are looking for the latest technology microwave, I have done all the researcing for you......this is the easiest and the best so far...you won't be disappointed.

Was really surprised when opened to find how easy it was to set up i thought as its a combi it would be difficult to use i am so glad i have this its perfect i love that the door opens downward and there's no plate inside that turns when you use micro you just put inside it stays still which is much better grill is brilliant and so is the oven function its fantastic you can cook everything in it and love the fan function after you use on all funtions to cool it down and ease of cleaning it
