Title : Sharp R898WM Family White 26L 900W/1850W Double Grill Convection Microwave Oven
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 : Panasonic NNV623 Microwave
The microwave looks really good in silver. It is of high quality and really easy to use. The chaos defrost defrosts items by entering the item weight and then it automatically calculates the defrost time. It is much faster than a conventional defrost and doesn't start to cook your food. There are also lots of pre-programmed settings for example for jacket potatoes, which enables you to cook things perfectly. Of course it can also be used as a standard microwave, with high, 2 medium and low power settings. The high power is quite powerful and sometimes it is necessary to slightly reduce cooking times compared to those recemmended on packaged food. This mcrowave also benefits from a grill and combination cooking. Overall I am very pleased with the microwave and would recommend it.

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 : Poor Build Quality
I read the reviews on the build quality before ordering and still carried on. After the four week wait for the microwave to arrive, the box is huge and heavy.
Removed the microwave and found it wobbled on the work top. Thinking it must be the worktop, I moved it to numerous surfaces. The same result on all, the bottom plate is bent by about 12mm. This causes a quite a wobble, so back to searching for another microwave with these features. Good Luck, all.

Summary : reliable?
bought 1 year ago, within two weeks it set alight and melted the door. no answer was given of why it melted by the shop. they replaced it free of charge. 1 year later it just stopped working, no power at all, the shop had no idea why it lost its power. wanted to charge a fortune to replace power boards inside. i only ever used it once a day to warm food so i dont see how it would blow! on a nice note the grill is amazing! but would not buy it again

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.
