Summary : Sharp R-249
Neat design, very easy to run, and fast cooking. Can be easily moved, not extremely heavy. Quiet operation, lights when cooking. Only features I would like are a lit clock display and a light in the interior as soon as the door is opened. These were features I have had in other ovens. For the money, it is a very good buy and I am happy with my purchase.

Summary : damn this thing to hell
I hate this microwave if you want to just grill something but it resets halfway through and you end up filling your kitchen with toxic black smoke.

Summary : timer is hardly clear and easy to read
I've had other microwaves with turn dials (though that was years ago) and they were much easier to read than the dial on this microwave. The dots between 0 and 5 are supposed to correspond with each minute but they don't seem to. I have to use my digital timer to get a specific time because using this dial on this microwave is a guessing game.
I purchased this model because I only have the most basic needs (reheating tea and leftovers) and didn't need all the options listed in other models, but spend the extra money cause one you open the box you are stuck with it.

Summary : The Square Peg Question
disappointed by a broken down Panasonic combination oven (The -do I pay for repair-or dump it and buy brand new- dilemma). I chanced up upon this Sharp oven whilst at Curries, and immediately the design struck a chord. All microwave/combination ovens consist of a round turntable inside a square/rectangular space, so the internal corners are wasted. Ever tried to cram all the bits of a full family dinner inside a standard oven? This oven occupies a standard footprint, but gives a bigger interior. It has two shelves to use as a proper oven. Two square shelves inside a big square space which means two layers of food cooking and no wastage of valuable internal space. Now you can cook not one, but two of those rectangle pizzas designed to go straight on the oven shelf. The microwave part is 900 watts, not as powerful as some ovens at 1000w, but still technically a Category E power rating. Maybe a bigger microwave oven needs more microwaves to fill a bigger space, I'm not sure, but things do take a bit longer to warm up using micro power, but then at least the food isn't blasted and splattered all over the place. The oven works in combinations of microwave/oven, or microwave/grill, but not grill/oven, and of course, when in combination with the microwave, you must use the turntable taking us back to the circle in a square idea again. The grill has two settings, On and Off. Never the less, a smart looking piece of kit, mine sits on top of a second fridge, and my interest in cooking and the curiosity try out new things has returned. If you include free delivery, the price is excellent, delivery was just two days.
A steel roller ring, and a white glass turntable show good choice of build materials. I like to keep my appliances as new, I have pride in my kitchen!

Summary : An excellent microwave
I bought this microwave to replace my old fashioned basic microwave/grill, and it is fantastic. It has microwave, grill and convection oven functions, and I use all of them. I only have a single oven in my kitchen, so this really helps when I need two ovens for a complicated meal.
The other function I really like is the 'Chaos Defrost'. This function means you select the category of your frozen item, then enter in the weight, and the microwave calculates the defrost time and does it for you. It really works - defrosting things without cooking the edges.
I noticed that the slightly bigger version (which I wanted, but it wouldn't fit on the worksurface) which has two shelves, is listed in Feb 06 Good Food magazine, as one of the five examples of microwaves out at the moment. They list the 'Chaos Defrost' as particularly helpful.

Summary : great
I have had this oven for the last 8 months and this has been really useful cooks food very well and because I don't have a oven it is a perfect alternative and would suit anyone who doesn't have enough room for an oven, or just someone who want a good quality microwave which can be used as grill and oven as well. another good product from sharp highly recommend it.
