Sharp R259SL

Easy to understand the controls, easy to clean. Quieter in operation than my previous microwave. Cooks evenly.

the turntable can easily be pushed out of the proper line when moving dishes out. Its not a major worry just a little niggle though.

Well designed and good looking machine-cooks everything to perfection,never had a bad meal out of this machine

You have to read the manual for the settings for this machine as it has a lot of auto seetings that you need to know about

The machine is very user friendly, it has a one minute, 10 minute automatic timer, automatic defrost for frozen weights on various foods, there is also a good feature for frozen meals. It also has a 'beep' system when the programme has ended, which reminds you every minute until you open the door, which if like me you pop something in the microwave and then do other things around the house, just a gentle reminder that the programme selected has ended.

Layout of control buttons

No button to open door

Only thing was I wish the quick start was for 30 seconds, rather than a minute. Not a bad point really but I always warm my little girl's drink for 30 seconds!

ompsct size. Digital controls

turntable difficult to seat properly

nice and compact just the right size to fit on worktop

outside casing thin and fradgile no autimatic door opening

Easy to clean, looks good, relaible brand.

Not got used to timings yet - different from my last microwave oven, so tend to overheat food. Feel that the turntable is a bit unstable when lifting out bowls, etc.

easy to use, looks good and

you have to really pull hard on the door to open it, which spills anything inside, plus sometimes the butoons don't recognise they are being pushed and have to be pressed a few times. and the cardboard (thingy) inside keeps coming off, according to the manual it says it should not be taken out, but from day one is has been reluctant to stay attached.

Very light - one has to hold it down to open the door Revolving plate does not fit well

EASY TO USE

I RETURNED IT. WAS NOISY, AND RATTLED

Clear & straightforward buttons

You have to pull the handle to open the door, it would be bette r if you could push a button

great value for money and excellent performance.

if i had to be really critical. when closing the door it sounds quite hollow/tinny

I had larger sensor model for years, as that has packed up I decided to replace it with a smaller model as I now live on my own. It is good looking and neat, I miss the sensor cooking but it was so cheap I cannot complain.

The only problem will be that being smaller inside I will not be able to get my very large casserole dish inside when I have the family round for Xmas. It is so light that when opening the door I tend to pull it along, so I must get used to holding the cabinet with one hand whilst pulling the handle. My old one had a push button door opener.

movement of microwave when opening door

A big size, simple controls.

All of the above and very quite when in use, also easy to clean

moves around too much. changing time not straight forward

easy to use for straightforward pre-heating of food Easy to keep clean

keeps sliding on worktop when opening door so food tends to get spilt a bit

none

smaller than it looks in packaging..

1 minute express programme

balancing dishes on the turntable

light goes out when you open the door.

easy to grab handle. small neat machine.

vertical touch screens are never easy to use, particularly with any length of fingernails. I have stuck tiny rubber pads on (usually used to stop kitchen cabinet doors banging) which makes the appropriate buttons easy to locate and press.

easy to use. Big enough for two people. Neat in appearance. Clear instructions, easy to follow.

Auto defrost isn't entirely automatic. Programme switches off every three minutes for turning food round and over, which considering there is a turntable, i wouldn't have thought necessary. Otherwise, OK.

Small, simple and straightforward to use. A very practical purchase.

None.
