We needed a second oven, and had a somewhat small opening (27"w x 19"h) in the cabinet above our standard oven. Our old combo microwave toaster oven was too small for many baking needs, so we were looking for another combo or a pure convection oven. The Sharp has been a great addition. We got it just in time for Thanksgiving, and used the mix/roast mode to cook a 16 lb turkey in about half the time (just over 2 hrs). The skin was browned and crispy, and even the breast meat remained moist (without any basting or injections). The mixed mode baking works well, too. I've tried baking breads, biscuits, cookies, cakes and pies, and all came out fine. When using stoneware pans, the time savings over baking in the larger convection oven, even with the mixed microwave/convection mode, is not substantial. But the Sharp is large enough to accommodate almost all of our baking pans (with the exception of full-size cookie sheets), and is meeting our second oven needs. The plain microwave mode seems a little weak compared to other microwaves of this size, but it is more powerful than our old microwave/toaster oven combo. The 'sensor cook' mode has not been very valuable for us - it always seems to stop heating too soon.

If you've always wanted a second oven, especially around the holidays, this model fits the bill. I had an earlier model for over 30 years. The stainless steel version is beautiful and the baking by convection is excellent. The microwave portion is so dependable. It's well worth it!

This is my third Sharp Microwave Convection over a period of 30years. I have used it for something as large as a 10lb Turkey under the convection setting to reheating leftovers on the microwave setting. I use it alot in the Summer so I don't have to turn the gas stove on. This oven is very easy to use and clean also. I wouldn't buy another.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this convection microwave. I have installed this inside a cabinet and the stainless steel version of this microwave blends well with other appliances in my kitchen. Very quite.

I highly recommend this unit to anyone who uses a microwave and occasionally needs a second oven. This unit performs extremely well in both capacities. I previously owned a Wolf product that is exactly the same other than the buttons on the front and the expensive price tag! The Wolf is made by Sharp and is the very same product. I am so pleased with this microwave/convection oven. It does all necessary reheating, popping popcorn, etc. and makes terrific baked potatoes! I use it for small baking/broiling functions when I don't want to heat up the kitchen with my big oven.
