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.

We bought almost the same oven years and years ago and have been enjoying it. However, after over 10 years it just decided to "retire." We wanted the same oven again and were thrilled to find it. It is large, cooks perfectly on micro and convection and pops every kernel of popcorn! Only thing that changed is that it no longer has a handle (we used as a towel holder) across the top. Miss it.

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!
