Title : Sharp R249SLM Compact Solo Silver 20L 800W Touch Control Microwave
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
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 : 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 : 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!

Summary : Nicole
I bought this because it was the largest microwave I could find. I wanted to get a really big bowl in for a recipe I use regularly and no other micro was big enough. The capacity of this one is gigantic, I can easily fit in the largest Pyrex mixing bowl I have.
I was not really interested in the combi grill part but it works really well, (baked potatoes are not soggy). I have to say I have not experimented too much as I have two Neff ovens that I use day to day so I don't think I have explored its full potential. I did try cooking crumpets with the quartz grill, rubbish results, so it does not replace the toaster.
The microwave is really powerful and I have successfully nuked the butter to a clarified swamp on several occasions, but the MS ready meals come up a treat.
The blurb says that it replaces an ordinary oven... not in my view.. it's an as "well as gadget" not an "instead of".

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 : damn this thing to hell
I hate this microwave if you want to just grill something but it resets halfway through and you end up filling your kitchen with toxic black smoke.

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.
