Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : GREAT VALUE
Looks much more expensive than it is. All the functions you would expect from a higher priced model, I probably won't use half of them!
This model cost half of my last one which has only lasted 3 years.
Easy to use. Excellent value.

Title : Sharp R85STM Family Stainless Steel 26L 900W/1500W Touch Control Double Grill Convection Microwave Oven
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
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.

Title : Sharp R24STM Compact Solo Stainless Steel 20L 800W Microwave
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.

Summary : Panasonic NNK105 Compact Dial Microwave
Microwaves come in all shapes and sizes, but the true value of the microwave is often under-estimated in the modern and traditional kitchen. This model has a very powerful 1.1kw grill element which I first tried out on traditional cheese on toast. As a busy professional who requires meals fast I was impressed with the quality and substance of such a simple meal, it was just like the "old-fashion" grill under the oven, but faster.This product is stylish, compact and fits with the decor of most kitchens. I look forward to cooking something more adventurous in the near future and will certainly see how well it performs on pork chops which the manufacturer claims can be roasted in 18 mins, that will be a "god-send" I am absolutely delighted by the speed of delivery from amazon.

Title : Hinari Lifestyle MX731SSEG Easi-Tronic 0.7 Cu Ft Microwave Oven 800W with 1000W Grill Stainless Steel
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Pretty but flawed
I should start by explaining that I kept this microwave for all of one day for reasons that will become clear, so I haven't really had the chance to rate it's effectiveness in cooking.
Unfortunately, my Hinari MX731 arrived with a defective fan, which made a loud knocking noise from the very first use (as if catching on something internally). Amazon were their usual efficient selves in accepting it back for a refund, though. What this says for build quality, I don't know - I probably just got a defective unit.
The unit looks fantastic - neither large nor particularly small, the stainless steel all over finish looks more expensive than the price tag suggests, and the button fascia with dial adds some modern elegance (so I feel). The retro 'rod' handle isn't to everyone's taste, but I liked this too and it feels more solid than some more expensive models' equivalent. As others have commented, no stainless steel interior here, so avoid if you're specifically after one.
The weakest point of this microwave by far is the control panel, though. While the dial and buttons operation look great, they are not intuitive to use - selecting defrost etc. can take practice, as some have said. Much worse is that the microwave emits a loud, piercing 'beep' every time the digits on the display alter by one. So, if say you want to cook something for 15 mins., it beeps through each option, then beeps 15 times for every extra minute you turn the dial. So annoying! I don't think you can turn this off, but other users may be able to advise. I know most ovens beep, but at least with touch control, you can usually select increments of '10 mins'.
So, just a summary of first impressions and overall I would say that this is a good value unit, but one that puts aesthetics before practical usage.
