Sharp - 1.5 Cu. Ft. Mid-Size Convection Microwave - White

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.

This is the second Sharp microwave/convection oven we've owned. The first lasted many years and was replaced with just a microwave, which we soon regretted. We were delighted to recently find the same Sharp combination oven. It has the speed of a microwave oven and the even, efficient cooking of a convection oven. The turntable is large enough to hold a 13" x 9" pan, and the stainless steel interior is easy to clean. Unfortunately the trim kit was very hard to find and apparently has been discontinued. When we ordered the trim kit in order for the oven to have a built-in appearance, the Sharp representative stated that only two remained in inventory.

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.

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.

This is my second Sharp Convection/Microwave - almost identical to my first. On my first one some of the keypad buttons wouldn't work anymore. But I'm not complaining as that microwave was used daily for 22 years without a single problem. I'm hoping this one will give me that many years of service as well. And the shipping was great - had it in 3 days....just in time for Christmas.

Delivered ahead of schedule. Like it as well as our previous Sharp microwave that lasted 34 years. Easy to use if you want to do basic microwaving. Convection oven is a feature we are using more and more. Just like cooking in the oven but uses less energy and doesn't make the kitchen hot. I like the ability to combining convection and microwave for extra speed in cooking. Very pleased overall and would highly recommend.

My first Sharp lasted 17 years. Yep it was a great investment. The best convection oven for summer use in hot Texas.

The Sharp R-930AK is a great oven. It's easy to use and the combination of a microwave and convection oven is very convenient. It cooks consistently well, and has plenty of space inside. I had Sharp's previous version of this model , which I liked, and it lasted 21 years. I'm very happy with this purchase.
