Summary : Problems on Day Two
Really pleased when I received this and used it for the first couple of days, simple to operate and efficient, looked good. Suddenly started working on its own, can't set clock, can set power or time - very frustrating. Threw box away so think I will need to go through the bin now. Probably just unlucky but beware

Summary : Does what it claims
Solid, well made, good for microwave or convection oven cooking, top and bottom grills, no more easy or difficult to use (or clean) than any other similar. My last Sharp ran and ran for nearly nine years, looks like this one could do the same. Good saving on high street price, you could do a lot worse.

Summary : Really good value for money and extremely useful.....
When my last microwave oven died I was in a desperate hurry to replace it. I looked everywhere for a full sized microwave oven and could not find one. I found this particular oven. It is large enough to defrost or cook large item, but I really hesitated before buying it. It had too many other functions associated with it for my taste. How could something possibly be a good microwave oven, a good grill and a good convection oven? In the end I bought this product only because of its size. However, it proved itself to be completely invaluable at the first big holiday meal. It is a good grill and a good convection oven (make sure it is fully preheated BEFORE use), as well as being a large, powerful microwave. I am so glad that I purchased this particular oven, and I highly recommend it to anyone. I have had my oven for nearly 1.5 years now. I have no complaints.

Summary : Not impressed
I bought this microwave combination oven in August 2004 to replace my beloved 15 year old Sharp microwave combination oven. What a difference in quality! Firstly, the oven never seemed to reach the correct temperature. Now, the LCD display has packed up after a power cut. I've checked reviews on the web and I see I am not alone in having exactly these problems. It did cook great baked potatoes, but I wont be rushing out to buy a Sharp combi oven again.

Summary : Pretty but flawed
I should start by explaining that I kept this microwave for all of one day for reasons that will become clear, so I haven't really had the chance to rate it's effectiveness in cooking.
Unfortunately, my Hinari MX731 arrived with a defective fan, which made a loud knocking noise from the very first use (as if catching on something internally). Amazon were their usual efficient selves in accepting it back for a refund, though. What this says for build quality, I don't know - I probably just got a defective unit.
The unit looks fantastic - neither large nor particularly small, the stainless steel all over finish looks more expensive than the price tag suggests, and the button fascia with dial adds some modern elegance (so I feel). The retro 'rod' handle isn't to everyone's taste, but I liked this too and it feels more solid than some more expensive models' equivalent. As others have commented, no stainless steel interior here, so avoid if you're specifically after one.
The weakest point of this microwave by far is the control panel, though. While the dial and buttons operation look great, they are not intuitive to use - selecting defrost etc. can take practice, as some have said. Much worse is that the microwave emits a loud, piercing 'beep' every time the digits on the display alter by one. So, if say you want to cook something for 15 mins., it beeps through each option, then beeps 15 times for every extra minute you turn the dial. So annoying! I don't think you can turn this off, but other users may be able to advise. I know most ovens beep, but at least with touch control, you can usually select increments of '10 mins'.
So, just a summary of first impressions and overall I would say that this is a good value unit, but one that puts aesthetics before practical usage.
