Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Broke after 4 months
In the picture this microwave looks kind of pretty. In the flesh you discover horribly plastic-y controls that seem only slightly attached to the machine and which allow *no* element of accuracy time-wise when reheating.
It was passable though and did the job... at first anyway... One day 4 months after I purchased it (if that) the microwave died with no explanation and hasn't worked since.
I'd avoid this if I was you - the cheap price is simply a sign of what a shoddy piece of kit it is.

Summary : Panasonic NNA873S build quality
If I were reviewing the way the microwave works, I'd give it 5 out of 5 but if it weren't for the fact I like the way it works, it'd be 1 star for attention to detail/build.
By coincidence I ordered one for me and one for my parents. Mine arrived with a big dent in the side (the boxes are sent as they come and I don't think stand up to the couriers treatment). The interior light of my parents microwave packed up after about 10 days use.
The replacements arrive. My parents one had a tiny convex dent in the top (we decided to accept it to save any more hassle -it appeared to be a manufacturing flaw). Mine appeared perfectly ok -I was delighted! -I carefully removed the tape (holds the door in place during transit) and was horrified that it removed a chunk of paint with it! The tape was much stickier than usual for that kind of tape and/or were attached to the paint when it wasn't dry.
There are apparent quality-control issues here with these microwaves (it seems like they're being rushed in the factory from the little problems), possibly not helped by what appears to be poor treatment by couriers. Having used 3 of the 4 microwaves, the way they "sound" in use and the way the door "clunks" is slightly different, possibly not an issue... but something I noticed.
I will say Amazon were good and let me keep both the faulty ones while the new ones were on order. The re-ordering process I think would have been simple if it weren't for me ordering two the same, so again, I think this normally would have been fairly painless -though I recommend calling Amazon by phone if things get complicated -it's much easier to sort things out once and for all as they don't generally seem to read detailed emails properly.
I'll briefly review the microwave itself...
I may have just been very unlucky, but I will say the microwaves do perform very well... The autosensor function does an excellent job of cooking baked potatoes for example... though I miss the autoweight control feature for pizzas (now a manual process on a top of the range microwave -seems a bit odd) -the display even shows "pizza pan" but it's unlit and possibly for a different market. From the pre-programmed food, I think the people who program the settings at panasonic must think british people only eat curry and roast dinners. Some little points I wouldn't have noticed til I got them... the display is a bit tricky to read unless the microwave is seated high on a shelf or fitted and the buttons are not that easy to read (but a small price to pay for an really shiny s/steel finish!!). I think though that if you get one in perfect condition, you'd be pleased with it. For larger items like this I think in future I'll probably just go and pick one up in a store, even if it is a bit more costly... it's less hassle.

Title : Sharp R898WM Family White 26L 900W/1850W Double Grill Convection Microwave Oven
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great product.
Brought this a couple of weeks ago and have forgotten to use my cooker since. It's great for everything from making toasted sandwiches, cooking pizzas to baking cookies. Best of all jacket potatoes are soft inside and crispy on the outside. Only issues I have are that I haven't yet got the hang of the bottom grill and the high rack is too close to the top grill. Over all a great product and it looks cool to tops!

Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent value for money and all functions work well
Had the unit for two years now and very happy with it. Performs well and all the functions work well aswell.
Price was good and we have used it as an extra convection oven in addition to the microwave functionality. The grill takes a little longer than a gas grill but better than an electric one.
I would recommend.

Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
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 : 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.
