YC-MG252AU-S

Very pleased with microwave. Easy to use. easy to clean

Very easy to use, has many different functions to choose from and I like the grill option, it's really worth the money and it's easy to keep it clean. It's large enough to make a meal for a few people and looks very stylish, I like the touch pad style which is better for my Osteoarthritis.

Delivered on time , set up easily, the cord was a little short but that depends on where you socket is located. Seems ok fot the price.

My first combined microwave and grill, I’m quite impressed. Powerful 900W microwave with a similarly powerful grill element. Nice wide 31cm turntable will take large dinner plates easily, just make sure they’re not ones with metal edges! Easy to clean ceramic interior. Comprehensive control panel with several presets as well as a manual timer

As described. Pleased with microwave.

Great fit for a small kitchen and it will reduce my costs in using my oven grill. I have solar panels so I'm inclined to use electricity where I can. I use HG Microwave Cleaner spray and it keeps it in mint condition. It is well made and well-designed. It has a slot for the plug at the back, which is a nice touch if you are unplugging it.

4 stars because the manual that comes with it, is a Quick Start Guide, not the USER MANUAL that you need to get on and use it -- some things cannot be guessed SHARP! Go to Sharp the website using the product code YC-GC52B and download it -- I know that's a pain because who has their laptop, or worse, desktop, sat next to the microwave as you are trying to familiarise yourself with your new device? I will be honest this really knocked my enthusiasm flat, because the one I did get, though it looks exactly the same on the front, has two pages of basic info and 9 pages of warnings, the focus is on the negatives not the cool things it can do. So the one on the website actually tells you what the preset programmes are, it tells you what power saving means (Eco Mode), it tells you about the microwave levels, what LOC means, and how to use the childlock feature, and it has a troubleshooting guide -- though it does seem to steer you away from calling them, with the section actually called 'BEFORE CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE', can you imagine how annoyed they'd be if I rang just to ask where's the *actual* user manual? Because there is no where in the Quick Start Guide that it tells you to go to the website and download it and frankly, the 25 page actual manual was the one to put in if you could only afford the paper for one of the two SHARP! So major oversight on the part of SHARP. Bear in mind also, that it's a crazily deep machine, with a weird awkward rounded back like an old TV, which makes placing it on a work top awkward because it doesn't naturally go square to the wall or countertop and needs another 10cm clearance at the back. I tried to put it under my on-worktop microwave shelf, which had previously had a far bigger Panasonic inverter steam combi under it, but the SHARP didn't fit because of the gubbins at the back. Aside from that, I feel it was a little cheap of SHARP to not use the kind of coating on their oven tray to allow it to be in for a combination of micro and grill, it can only be used for oven or grill. And that grill... your sausages will fall right through. Looks good though, but is that enough? Time will tell. UPDATE: If you collect all the moisture it generates to scramble eggs (just eggs, no added water), and donate it to the waterboard, the country wouldn't be in drought. It needs drying every time or it drips from the bottom of the door. I'm knocking off another star for this.

I love the microwave as it’s easy to use, looks good and takes large dinner plates (25ml model). However to grill two pieces of bread, takes 4 minutes the first side and 3 minutes the second side. This is still just for a medium grill. If you like your toast well done you would probably need 4 minutes each side. The reason the 1st side needs 4 minutes is because the grill takes a while to warm up. This timing is for fresh bread. Not frozen.
