Let’s have a look of how this convention microwave oven makes a useful addition to any busy kitchen from Amazon’s customer reviews :-
Extremely versatile, By Elizabeth G. Melillo
I acquired this microwave when I was moving to a flat with limited kitchen space, and my primary reason for the choice was that the Sharp model was multi-functional. Since I’ve begun using it, I happily have ceased to sing a requiem for the toaster oven, separate grill, and other items I was ‘consolidating’ in this purchase.

I have used the Sharp microwave for grilling and roasting, as well as normal microwave functions, and the results are better than I could have expected. Grilled and roasted foods are extremely tender and juicy – at least of the quality one could expect from a conventional oven. I have had similar success with cooking vegetables.

Reheating muffins and breads has amazing results – they seem fresh baked and, unlike breads normally heated in a microwave, do not harden in a minute. I have used the convection feature for preparing breads, and had especially stunning results with preparing a frozen chicken pie. I suppose the surrounding air from the convection oven was the reason, but it seemed like a fresh-baked meat pie.

There are a few drawbacks, which would not compromise my five star rating because of the great versatility and high quality of the unit overall. The ‘auto’ roast, defrost, and grill features are very convenient, as is the prompting (telling one when to turn over the meat, for example), but they are very limited in the weight restrictions. For example, if one is defrosting ground meat, it has to be a certain weight – significantly more than that of a single hamburger. Though grills and roasts would mostly fit in to the specifications, this is a drawback for defrosting, where one must estimate times and key them in manually.

Another difficulty I have experienced, when grilling on the rack, is that drippings which fall either on to the carousel tray or a pan placed under the meat can become badly burnt and baked on. This was slightly disappointing for my intentions of preparing gravies on the side. My single attempt to do so meant I had to soak the pan overnight and then scrape. The grilling results are wonderful, as far as the effect on the meats, but there is a great deal of smoke generated. Whenever I grill, it sets off the smoke alarm – probably best to roast, then only grill at the end.

I would advise anyone purchasing this microwave to read the manual in full. The capabilities will not be realised otherwise. I actually use the unit less for ‘standard microwaving’ than for its other features.

One further comment: the Sharp microwave cookbook, which is advertised in the manual for the unit, is useful but not specific to the multi-functional machine. It contains only microwave recipes – none for grilling, roasting, or convection.

Overall, and considering that it can replace several appliances, this microwave is an extraordinary value.

NIce. Really nice., By R. Drew (Morristown, NJ USA)
First let me say that I got a killer deal right here on Amazon. I paid 4 with shipping included. The unit arrived in tact although the box was a little beat up. So much so that I had to unpack it outside. Now onto the review. The unit is very heavy and well constructed. The majority of the weight comes from what appears to be a commercial grade convection motor. I lugged the unit inside and put it on a utility cart with the back facing a window. I unpacked the contents, which were securely stowed inside the unit. Contents included a porcelain coated turntable, rotary mechanism for the turntable and a circular raised rack for grilling. I plugged it in and it immediately displayed instructions on how to set the clock. That was cake so now it was time to cook something! Despite what others may say, you do have to read the manual to do just about anything (except setting the clock) because the unit uses special codes for different foods, i.e 1 for pork, 2 for chicken, 3 for humans and so on. The manual is relatively easy to follow and the unit also comes with a quick reference card so you don’t have to whip out the manual everytime you want to cook something. So far, I have cooked a stuffed pork chop, cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies and a 10 inch frozen pizza. All came out near perfect to perfect. I would attribute this to the quality of the convection motor. I might even go as far as comparing the quality and effectiveness of this motor to that of a Hobart. If you’re looking for a high quality and extrememly versatile convection/microwave/so much more, then you can stop looking. I would have paid a lot more if I knew it was going to be this good. Bon Appetit!

After 1 year, it’s become the best kitchen tool I own!, By W. L. Cummins (Santa Cruz, CA, USA)
When my old (22 years) microwave died, I could’ve replaced it with another, especially since they’d gone ‘way down in price/watt. But I’d used a convection oven (which went with my ex-wife), and I really wanted my own. I found the Sharp Grill-2 Convection, among others, but decided to purchase it mainly because of Sharp’s overall good reputation. It offered a powerful microwave, a convection oven (cooking with super-heated air), and a grill to brown the outside of whatever I was cooking. I should’ve bought a lottery ticket that day! It has turned out to be the most useful, if not most often used, tool in my kitchen (and I have just about all of them!).

I wanted to write a glowing review the first week I had it, but knowning how first impressions can be misleading, I’ve waited until now, about a year later. The other reviews I’ve read here are accurate about the its uses and functions, so I won’t bore you further. What I will say is that from warming a cooled cup of coffee to roasting a whole chicken to baking my famous cheescake, it’s the best! Hands down, simply the best! A little pricey? Duh! Look at what you’re getting: you can virtually cook ANYthing with this oven. And I have!

It looks great on my kitchen counter, it’s instructions are comprehensive and easy to understand, it cleans up (from roasted chicken, for example) in about 5 minutes. It’s quality, and IT WORKS! Oh, by the way, it uses a lot less energy than any conventional oven, electric or gas.
