Sharp R959SLM

Advantages: Sharp Brand
Disadvantages: Thermostat

...and after having the same Sharp microwave for around 25 years, since they first started appearing, I finally had to buy a new one after it stopped working, after serving me well for such a long time I decided to go for this machine. The Sharp R959SLM. It does all the things you expect, convection oven, grill, microwave. Has a LCD display for the time and temperature selection with stop / cancel also included. There are guides for different food ...
...for the first time, it came out burnt on the inside, somehow?! So i researched what could be wrong.. my recipie or the microwave / convection oven. I took some temperature readings while the oven was on with a digital thermometer i have, and it did in fact read 10 degrees hotter that the temperature i set it at. I phoned commet - they came round with an engineer and took the action to replace the thermostat. After all of this, it is still reading ...

Sharp 98STM Combi Microwave Oven

Advantages: good cooking results, easy to use and to clean
Disadvantages: poor reliability/durability

Although this combi-microwave gives very good cooking results and is perfect if cooking for 2 people, it is a very big appliance and its durability is questionable. I bought my first appliance in Dec 2004 and was extremely pleased with it. However, this appliance had to be replaced under its 1 year warranty because of an LED read-out fault. Now after just 18 months and the replacement has developed a fault. This time the fault is with the microwave, ...
...had only approximately 8 hours of use. I now have to face a hefty repair bill. I would have been very happy to recommend this combi microwave because of its ease of use and good cooking results, however because of its poor durability I feel this combi microwave reperesents very poor value for money. ...

Sharp R-259 SL Microwave Oven

Advantages: Good Sturdy Microwave, Robust, Easy Setup, Plenty of Functions
Disadvantages: Not Particularly Stylish

Good Sturdy Microwave - Robust and easy to use I've had this microwave for about 1 year since I won some John Lewis vouchers and purchased it in store. I probably would have picked a cheaper option from somewhere else if I hadn't won the vouchers. It's not the most stylish microwave but I do like the curved handle on the door. It's definitely a function over form product and it comes to life when you start to use it. Setup took around 5 mins following ...
...a range of options for power - from 100w (good for defrost) up to 1000w good for ultra fast cooking. Minutes can can be set up to periods of 10 seconds and there are a range of pre set cooking times based on the type of item to be cooked - e.g. meat, veg etc. Cleaning is easy and the inner glass plate and roller underneath is easily removed. No problems as yet, I would recommend this microwave oven to anyone looking for a reliable model with plenty ...

Review of Sharp R-259

A very mixed bag of a Microwave.

Advantages: fantastic "Auto Cook" facillity (see review),full combination functions, an awful lot of choice.
Disadvantages: You will certainly need the instructions-which are poor(!),oven times etc inaccurate, possible to undercook, terribly difficult to clean.

I purchased a Sharp R955 Microwave back in 2002 from Iceland in Wolverhampton for £249.95 and took out the Iceland Appliance Care for five years. I purchased it because I needed to upgrade my previous microwave which was a Panasonic dual micro/grill so that I could use a Microwave instead of using a gas cooker-most of my food is frozen. So the appeal of cooking from frozen certainly appealed. The R953 is a a Catergory E 900w microwave with a grill ...
...other people who own similar Sharp ovens and they have the same problem. Other issues include poor instructions, a very difficult to clean interior and in particular the ceramic turntable plate,some of the operating proceedures are back-to-front,staus of cooking is not always easy to follow and I've experienced difficulty when turning food over etc. Overall, I'm still happy with my R953 because it does what I want and I have sussed out the weaknesses ...
