#Badly designed! (2010-06-05) For whatever reason, Sharp designed this so it gives piercing beeps with EVERY action, starting with beeps when you enter time and power -- what s the utility of that? -- and finishing up with four shrill beeps when the cycle is finished, while beeping every minute after cooking when the item is not removed. Sounds like a small thing but it gets quite annoying. Wish I hadn t bought it. I second the criticism also that it takes two hands to use, otherwise it slides across the counter. Bought this because my previous one was a great Sharp. Sad ...

#Looks great but performance not as good as old equivalent ... (2010-02-20) I previously had a Sharp microwave - same specification but it was getting old. Replaced it with this, which looks smart but takes eg 50-60 seconds to heat a cup of tea where the previous one took 40 secs. Also, it is more difficult to push the button that opens the door without the whole microwave sliding away across the kitchen surface. You have to use one hand to hold the microwave still whilst pushing the button, or put something behind the microwave to stop it sliding. The programming buttons seem t...

#Great basic microwave. Meets all our needs. No clock. (2010-02-06) As a young, newly wed couple, we picked up this microwave and it s been fantastic at re-heating food, etc. It hums away like a microwave should, but it s a nice subtle sound. The only pity is that there is no clock feature with this unit - which came as a surprise. However, I only take off 1 star because other people might need a clock with their microwave. It s a nice to have, but might catch you out. Otherwise, great unit and would recommend.

#Gorgeous little microwave! (2010-07-03) We decided to purchase this microwave after having a new kitchen fitted - the old white chunky box we already had just didn t look right in our new modern kitchen. This model is big enough for occasional use - the turntable isn t massive but it s big enough to heat up ready meals or defrost a plate of food. Everything I have cooked in it so far has been fine. I haven t tried the steam function yet but I will get round to it. It took a while to get used to the controls but I ve got the hang of them now. It fits nicely in a corner on the worktop ...

#Cool bit of Kit - and JET Defrost actually works!! (2010-02-19) Its unique looks & backend cylinder shape are innovative and a good concept, so looks unique in the kitchen. Its highlighted Jet Defrost technology isnt just a gimmick either, it really does kickbutt in defrosting frozen items in a fraction of the time compared any microwaves I ve ever used in my existance. It s also blimming simply to use and program. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is when microwaving the old 2min Rice satches you get, the inner height of the microwave falls just an inch short & you basica...

#max 25 750 watt (2010-02-16) had microwave for 2 months, was delighted with the look of it when it arrived, takes up hardly any room,but after using for a short time, turntable started to squeak and have not been able to stop it. Also when doing Jacket potatoes the glass between the window on the door steams up and takes ages to clear. Another problem is the door, every time I close it the door open sign comes on, so I have to open and close the door again. Anyway today I rang Customer Care at Whirlpool and after speaking to many departments, they have decided to collect my Micr...

#Ken (2010-02-09) The microwave works find but on receipt the microwave was missing some paint at the top right side and was displaying rust. not happy.

#Steam Microwave (2010-02-08) This microwave arrived without an instruction book. We contacted the manufacturer, only to be told that this oven is self explanatory and doesnt come with a book. WRONG!! Not by the previous reviewer who obviously had an instruction book. I have just paid thousands to create a new kitchen and I love it. But it nearly went up in smoke the first time I tried to use this machine. I put a Danish pastry in to warm for a few seconds. The machine turned it into a cinder just as quickly as if I had put the pastry into an open fire. Now Im frightened to u...

#small oven (2010-06-12) works perfectly beware of reading power rating as they are marked 123456 it is number 5 that is 100% power, only quible oven is a little small

#how did i manage with out it?? (2010-07-10) best buy ever, clear instructions, cannot fault this microwave, i did wonder if it would be a little large for just two people but easy to adapt.

#Pukka Panasonic Microwave Combi (2010-06-28) I took the plunge and bought this Panasonic Combi a few weeks ago. I have not used a microwave at home since my children were very young, and then it was just for reheating and stuff. I am a chef by day and a serious home cook when at home. I am used to top-end and expensive professional equipment at work and place a high demand on my kit at home. I am not disappointed with my purchase, it makes great tandoori chicken, roast chicken, roast potatoes, bakes tarts, quiches, grills super fish, proves bread, boils new potatoes, dhal (lentil dis...

#Fantastic!! (2010-05-03) Very pleased with this item - amazing value from Bizsella £100 less than curry s including delivery!!The drop down door makes it so much easier to use. The fact that it doesn t have a turntable seemed strange on first use but you soon get used to it. Very pleased with service from Bizsella - ordered Tuesday afternoon - delivered Thursday morning. Have already recommended this company to friends.

#Great Piece of Equipment (2010-03-27) Have grilled (excellent), baked a cake (also excellent), heated a ready-made pie in combination mode, and used in microwave mode. All excellent. This is a really good machine. Bought from an Amazon partner for a really low price. . . . I was worried that the deal was too good to be true, but service was excellent also.

#Space Saving Cooker (2010-03-09) A kitchen space saving cooker that provides an efficient energy saving all purpose oven that replaces a conventional oven. It is a quality product, easy to use in either single or multi function modes. Its user instructions and recipe booklet is comprehensive but with clear and simple explanations.

#Nice microwave, very nice. (2010-07-07) My girlfriend did most of the research work on this microwave but after it got delivered, I discovered why it was her final choice. I have never had a microwave/grill before and I have to say I am impressed with it. Firstly, the aesthetics of the machine is beautiful, it goes very well with a black and white/chrome kitchen (which we have). Secondly, it is quite powerful and grills quite well. Granted I have never had a an electronic grill. but we have tried different foods, like meat, corn-on-cob etc and it works very well. It was easy ...
