Summary : Short life span!
I am now on my third oven in two years. They cook beautifully and look nice, but are completely unreliable. The first one lasted 9 months before the turntable stopped turning, the second went for exactly one year before the turntable couldn't be stopped except by pulling the plug... I had a two-year guarantee, so they keep replacing them, but as soon as this runs out I'll be trying a different model!

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.

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.

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.

Summary : good value but a bit plastic
This is a good value little unit. The button panel is a wipe-clean surface. Controls are easy to use. For example, to cook for a minute just close the door and press start. Press start again to add extra 60 seconds to the time while cooking. Display is easy to use but some illumination would have been nice if the kitchen is dimly lit. While cooking, the food is of course illuminated in the oven. Includes glass turntable. This is good and changes direction each time you open the door. You can take it out to clean it, but it can be fiddly to get it in the right place on the spindle afterward.
Can defrost and cook if you set the right mode for the food inside, but the book could do with more examples of foods and times.
The door is hinged at the left and stops at 90 degrees. Door closing is very heavy though, and you need to push it so hard the whole unit sometimes moves on the worktop, and (due to a spring mechanism inside) the door closes with a very loud clunk no matter how carefully you close it.
Conclusion: It does plenty for the money, but loses out a little on the plasticy finish (which most microwaves seem to suffer from) and the awkward door.

Summary : A mint microwave.
I recently bought this microwave as I really rate Panasonic products. This is no exception! It's probaly the best combination oven there is. The price was great as well!
If you like jacket potatoes, you'll enjoy using this, it even makes the skins crispy. And the roast potatoes are great as well!!!
It's relatively easy to use, the recipe book helps!
To sum up, a belting combo microwave oven, every home should have one!

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!
