A great second oven for a low price & small space

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.

I had a white model for 15 years. Hope this lasts as long! My only negative is that the stainless interior is the same and is difficult to keep clean. I would never broil for that reason. Great as convection oven for a couple. Perfect size!

This microwave has solid construction, good features, a reasonable price, and is simple to use. It replaces a nearly identical Sharp model from the mid-1990s that still cooked fine when we gave it away. The reliability of the old unit persuaded us to buy another Sharp.

Pleasantly surprised to find the same model still available after 10 years! Only reason I replaced it was the door was sagging slightly - just enough to keep it from running unless I shimmed it. Otherwise it worked very well. Figured it was better to replace with new while still available than fix the door (unfortunately door uses rivets rather than screws). Saved time and money since I already had the kit.

Typical convection MW, with very good step by step instructions in timer window. Keypad numbers hard to see without sufficient light (they should have consulted an organizational psych. or focus group.

I purchased this microwave as an exact replacement for one I had purchased in 1998 and used every single day until it finally gave up the ghost. At first I was leery to purchase a new one because of some of the reviews I read, but went ahead and purchased it anyway. I have had the microwave for about a month now and am happy to say it works just as well as the one I replaced.

I HAD LOOKED FOR THIS FOR SOME TIME PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE & COULDN'T FIND IT. THEN JUST WHEN I HAD TO LOOK AGAIN I FOUND IT AT BEST BUY. IT'S A REPLACEMENT & JUST LIKE MY OLD ONE. LOVE THE MICRO/CONVECTION FEATURE. IN THE HOT WEATHER IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO HEAT UP WITH THE CONVECTION & DOESN'T GET THE KITCHEN SO WARM LIKE REGULAR OVENS. ALSO LIKE THE COMBI USE TO COOK THINGS FAST. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EVER.

This is a wonderful product. It looks great and is simple to use. The convection feature has been so useful and evenly cooks and crisps. Goodbye countertop toaster oven!

After researching micro/convections we choose the Sharp. GE was a close runner up but there are behind on production and did not want problems with parts and service. Glad we went with Sharp. Love the funtionality and options. Looks great, not too loud, low wattage but cooks fast.

We love the convection cooking as it cooks baked goods throughly. This is our 2nd one as our control unit burned out after a power surge. We were surprised that they still made the unit
