Sharp R959SLMA Freestanding, microwave

+ Large capcity combi-function microwave which is what I was looking for. Roasts a whole chicken excellently. Jacket potatoes cooked on the 'auto' function produces excellent results, as does pizzas on the same programme. Defrost - excellent. Haven't tried all the many functions yet but am gradually getting there! Have not used my old built in oven since taking delivery of this microwave So I should be saving on energy as well. It comes with a very informative instruction book which includes many recipes. The complete unit looks good and attracts and few nice comments from visitors!

- Slightly complicated to understand at first [well, I am a pensioner!] but eventually 'got there'. Weighing food [for whatever function is requested] before placing in the microwave can be a bit of a 'bind'. Towards the end of some cooking functions I needed to 'add on' a few minutes however, I was not able to do so [I now just over-estimate slightly]. The inside needs wiping down after nearly every use. However, don't let this put you off purchasing one - It is the best combi I have ever had.

+ easy to use and saves electricity and time.very easy to keep clean

- rather large and heavy to move for cleaning underneath.

+ Excellent duel cook facility saves time and money.

- The inner casing can be difficult to clean especially after grilling.

+ Economical use compared with conventional oven (especially for two/one persons).
Good range of useful features.
Upgrade of previous SHARP model, which gave us good service.

- Outer casing gets very hot (our previous model did not).
China turntable not as resilient as metal version in our previous model.

+ The instruction book is easy to understand which makes operating the micowave very easy. It is also very easy to keep clean

Very good, comprehensive and easy to use recipe and cook book

- None

+ Very easy to use .The instruction book is very good and easy to follow.

- Not as even cooking on the shelves as on the rotating base.

+ to be able to cook all types of foods in variable ways with ease

- it has no bad ponits when all ovens have to be cleaned

+ We particularly like the convection oven. We have replaced our standard cooker with this oven and have a separate 2 ring hob to use for small things.

- We do not like the auto shutdown of the display and the way you have to open the door to activate the oven.

+ This has two shelves as well as a turntable. I find that I use this more than my conventional oven. It is so well designed and easy to use.
