+ Compact, easy to use.

- Included in the Auto Programs there is no Vegetable Auto Program so cooking vegetables is a matter of trial & error. As my last Microwave had this I do miss it.

+ It is a nice size inside and the grill works perfectly

- The instruction manual could be clearer on how to cook various foods

+ In my opinion their are so many good points with your microwaves the most being the price and reliability and that is why I choose a Sharp. I used to work for the electricity board as a repairman and sharp was the only microwave to give the least problems and I throughly recommend them.

- Vert fierce door would be much better pressing button to open door. Could not understand the quick defrost you have 5 choices but what do you do could not find instructions, then found it is controlled by weight in kg being a man how do know how much something weighs when the wrapper is removed or it needs converting to ounces and pounds. Just a little idea if when the timer has finished and you get the bleeps to say its done why not have the bleeps go off every 10 seconds until the door is opened.As a ex repairman I would have thought that a magnetic door catch would have been invented doing away with the door catches that always break after a time. None of these are bad points.

+ We are probably the least techno-type people on the planet but even we could work it with ease.

- None that spings to mind.

+ smart looks, I minute auto very useful, quite intuitive for most functions

- grill did not brown grapefruit evenly, handle feels flimsy

+ Nice size and colour. Easy to clean. Cooks meals well and quickly.
