Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
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.

Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Delighted
I'm extremely happy with this microwave - it looks fantastic, it's a well-known brand, it feels solid and well-built and it cooks well. It's simple to program and use too. It's even made in the UK which is unusual these days! The previous reviewers comments about it being very noisy - well I can only suggest they have a faulty model because mine is pretty quiet and certainly no noisier than any other microwave I've owned and I've had several.

Title : Sharp R209SLM Compact Solo Silver 20L 800W Manual Microwave
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
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.

Title : Sharp R967SLM Platinum Silver Large 40L 900W/1400W Touch Control Convection Oven with Sensor
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : EXCELLENT VALUE SHARP R967SLM MICROWAVE
I have been looking for the Sharp R967SLM microwave for some time and Amazon is the cheapest I have found, especially using the free delivery. It arrived within 2 days of ordering, which I did not expect.
The microwave has the biggest capacity and is 1.4cuft (40 litres) most other large family microwaves go up to 1.0cuft. It has many features and two shelves (like in a conventional oven) also included is a double tier round wire rack. It can easily be used instead of a conventional oven especially using the two shelves. I was replacing my other microwave and also needed an oven. I hope to enjoy many years using my new microwave and maybe I can start cooking proper meals!
IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE YOUR MICROWAVE AND HAVE THE SPACE THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.
WELL DONE AMAZON FOR SELLING SUCH A GOOD BARGAIN.

Title : Panasonic NNA873S dimension 4 1.1cuft stainless steel combi microwave
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
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.

Title : Panasonic NNA873S dimension 4 1.1cuft stainless steel combi microwave
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
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.
