Amazon.com Review
With "double" grills that emit heat over and under food, this 900-watt convection microwave provides both browning and crisping capabilities. Eleven power levels offer added control, with temperature settings that include 100, 150, and 275 to 450 degrees F in 25-degree increments. The oven's two-line, 12-digit interactive display provides easy programming steps, cooking hints, and special options. With auto-touch convenience, there are 35 automatic settings to choose from, such as CompuPizza, CompuBake, CompuRoast, and CompuGrill, as well as CompuCook, which allows for preset times and power levels, and CompuDefrost for automatically defrosting frozen foods quickly and evenly. Custom Help provides programming features such as language/weight, child lock, and auto start. There's also the option to build the unit into a wall or cabinet with a trim kit (purchased separately), which provides the required ventilation and delivers a clean look. The oven's stainless-steel, 0.9-cubic-foot interior is easy to clean and includes a light and a 12-3/4-inch in diameter carousel turntable system for even heating. The unit measures 20-1/2 by 12-1/8 by 19-3/4 inches. --Catie Unger

Product Description
Microwave cooking has entered a new era! Gone are the days of soggy, tough food. This microwave oven can also crisp, roast, and grill, browning your food on the outside while it remains moist and tender inside. This is possible thanks to the Grill 2 Convection Plus double grills which emit radiant heat both above and below the food. Cook faster, with great results!

4 out of 5 stars GREAT COMBO OVEN   June 18, 2008
Rich (Florida, USA)
This product replaced TWO others: a microwave only, and a toaster oven. Although this is a convection oven, I don't notice that any foods cook quicker than they did in my old toaster oven or regular oven for that matter. But it does do both microwaving and regular cooking well, and it's sooo convenient to have only ONE thing on my counter instead of TWO!! I do recommend it, and KUDOS to AMAZON once again, I ONLY order online from them, always quick deliveries with NO problems. This is one of MANY items I've purchased from AMAZON including my beautiful new 52" Samsung LCD TV, which I received in perfect condition and saved a bundle of $$$ on! Thanks, AMAZON, you have a REAL and LOYAL FRIEND here!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent microwave and roaster   April 6, 2008
A. Rychel (Seattle, WA United States)
This microwave has many features, some of which I have tested. Mainly we purchased this for basic food reheating, but the roasting function has proven to be quite handy as well. This microwave is not sufficient to make toast, however, it works well to toast things like nuts. What this microwave is really good at is roasting meat (we have tried chicken and turkey) as a substitute for normal oven cooking. I am pretty sure that it is more energy efficient to cook meat this way, it is also substantially faster. And when it comes to cooking dinner, faster is definitely better. Some features which many annoy some: the turntable always spins, and it interior is not very large. These are things that are just fine with me. For anyone who lives in a very small space and does not have a proper oven, this would be a very fine substitute.


4 out of 5 stars Works great   April 1, 2008
Paul Affleck (Atlanta, GA)
This unit takes a little getting used to as it is significantly different than my old unit which was at least 7 years old. Some great features here the defrost is exceptional defrosting without cooking the food. Popcore works fine however as per the instructions you must have an upside down pie plate for it to cook correctly. If you don't it does not pop all the corn. reheating dishes is exceptionally easy and the electronics are pretty intuitive after a short period of use. Overall a great unit for the $.


4 out of 5 stars Sharp oven   February 27, 2008
Douglas Jeffries (Summerdals, AL)
The oven works good except therdoor sticks. sharp said it is due to the oven being mounted over ther stoce. The mfg. installed it and we can not move it. My wife does not use the oven and the stove top at the same time. This is inconventent but it works.


4 out of 5 stars Wonderful, but   February 24, 2008

I love this oven. The only time I use my standard oven is when this is too small. There have been a couple of other microwaves in between, but esentially this replaces an earlier Sharp Microwave Convection. I didn't roast a perfect chicken from the time the first one died (after 10-12 years) and the time I bought this one. One thing I don't see mentioned is that it's good for setting yeast bread to rise. Set the oven on 100 and set a cup of water in with it for extra humidity.

I love all of the things that this does. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the two things that my old one did that this (as far I've been able to figure) doesn't. I miss the humidity sensor (so that when my water was boiling the oven stopped) and the thermometer. That one wasn't so much for meat, since the oven does well at cooking meat to the desired doneness if you give it the correct weight (if you stuff your chicken, make sure you include that weight to get the stuffing to a safe temperature). I used the thermometer to get soup to my favorite temperature, to heat things to lukewarm or to scald milk. I miss those very much, but this is still the oven I would buy. I'd pay, if I could, another $100 for those two features, but this was a great buy for the price.
