Summary : Excellent value microwave with all bonus features
Purchased a few months ago.
This microwave is sleek in appearance and ideal size to place under kitchen units to save space.
The microwave has many bonus features such as 'digital child lock', jet defrost facility and beeps if you've left something in there a minute after the programme finishes.
Very satisfied with this product which was very cheap in comparison to others on the market.

Summary : Good all-in-one but.....size matters!
The oven part works like a treat - high risen Yorkshire puddings are the proof!
The microwave is pretty standard and does exactly as you'd expect.
The double grill is a bit odd though - thought I'd halve all my cooking times as I'd not have to turn food over as it's being grilled on the top and bottom simultaneously but not the case as you still need to turn it over but it does take less time to cook on the whole. Having the bottom grill though means you need a metal turn table which you're supposed to grill on directly - result is constant washing up of the turn table and you never really get it clean as you don't want to scrub too hard as the enamel coating would probably come off. Solution - cover it in foil and cook on that to make life easier. Also the turntable has a lip of about 1.5cm which can make taking hot things out when using the normal oven quite precarious as you have to lift the baking dishes etc over it. Also I imagine the bottom grill will prove hard to clean around (only had it a week and haven't got round to that job!)
Regarding the size issue - bear in mind if going for this oven you need 19cm clear head room above the oven so you probably can't fit it under a hung kitchen wall cupboard which is a pain for most kitchens; plus it's quite deep but that means a good internal capacity.
Overall though, for the money it's great having an extra oven space that actually works like a normal fan assisted oven.

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 : Good, for the money
It does exactly what is says on teh tin and looks pretty good. However, do be warned that it is not the most subtle of machines. It makes the most appalling noise, akin to having a 747 in your kitchen. You need to constantly reposition it to stop the infenal racket.
