This Sharp model has a sleek appearance and is cost-effective.
It’s best suited to those who want a combination microwave for occasional use, but won’t be relying on it in place of a regular oven and grill.
Overall, in our performance tests, the results were very mixed. While the lack of turntable made for a neater interior, it impacted the cooking.
When we microwaved jacket potatoes, they were cooked on the bottoms but still hard on top. The soup was thoroughly heated, yet chilled and frozen lasagne ready meals weren't hot enough in the centre.
Also, when we applied the auto-defrost function to minced beef, it defrosted but also cooked in some areas, which wasn't ideal.
