Sharp Flatbed microwave works great. Highly recommend. Operates a little different from previous Sharp microwave, but easy to convert/learn. Bought in Jan 26 from Harvey Norman Geelong who offered great deal and very knowledgeable and helpful.

after 2 years - only regular domestic use (1 year warranty) i'm open minded to the fact that i may have just had a bad experience, but will now look for a replacement that is not sharp.

New Sharp Convection Microwave not a patch on the old one – We had a Sharp Convection Microwave for at least 25 years and it was fantastic. Did roasts using Compucook programming for combined cooking… Read more
especially good for a 4 kg Turkey in a bit over an hour for Christmas. Had a major repair to turntable mechanics around 2014 and it eventually died this year. Actually it would not turn off so it was probably just a switch but we could not find anyone to repair it. So we bought this current model and it is not a patch on the old one. There is programming of sorts for convection cooking but nothing for combined cooking. Tried cooking a roast of lamb using the roast (convection) program and it was raw. For combined cooking one has to input temperature, time and microwave strength all manually whereas the old one programmed itself based on food description and weight. Fortunately we still have the old manual and cookbook so we might be able to cheat a bit based on that. Very disappointed.
good previous experience with Sharp as had many here so bought this for c 360$ at JB Hi Fi. Less than 3 years later now, I will be donating it to the landfill today before it catches fire. Pretty rubbish for a lightly used and well cleaned microwave Show details
I am not impressed with the programming of the new on ,as my old 16 year old Sharp was nice and simple with programming. The timer was easier and… Read more
you did not have to press twice for anything. But the worst of it if there was a power failure of 1 second you are unable to put in the time again unless you take the plug out, which is very inconvenient when it is built in. To open the door, it takes a lot of strength and the Microwave moves back quite a bit in it's cavity. Therefore you have to hold it back with the right side and press the button with the left hand. When closing the door it makes a very loud noise. One would think that newer items would be easier to use but it is just the opposite.
Ultra-quiet operation, great washing options, crisp and clear display – I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased the new Sharp ES-A814FL-W - 8KG Front Loader Washing Machine online from Appliances Online. I had a… Read more
Beko previously, which I'd had a few issues with, but ultimately I needed a larger capacity, as the old machine was 6.5KG and a little noisy. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet this machine was when I started using it and being able to pause and add clothes after starting the wash was something I really wanted (my old machine didn't have this feature). I would highly recommend this product to friends or family.
R321CA FST Exactly what everyone else says. It's virtually useless. This is the worst Convection Microwave I have ever owned. The microwave is ok.… Read more
The Oven doesn't get hot, the Grill takes 30 minutes to melt cheese, on the high rack, with no hint of browning at all and the Air Fryer....what air fryer? I have started a warranty claim today and if they find nothing wrong, I will ask for a different brand replacement or a refund. If I'm unsuccessful I will go to the ACCC. Seriously, it's THAT bad. IT IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.
Have owned sharp convection microwaves for at least 15years and did all my family cooking, and this new 42l is nothing in comparison to its… Read more
predecessor. The convection side does not heat to the desired temperature and certainly does not bake like the old models. If you are replacing an older sharp convection, I’m sorry it’s time to look at another brand. Very disappointing
I have never had a microwave that burns everything. This microwave has a dedicated popcorn button, burnt to a smoking crisp. Can't permanently change… Read more
the power level and even on lower power level it cooks too hot.
This microwave serves more purpose as a night light. As in the clock display is so bright it lights up my entire kitchen and living room. I don't really need a microwave to read by.
I hate buying new equipment if the previous isn't broken but I'm going to have to with this one as I'm sick of all my food being burnt.
0/10 do not buy
Very primitive design and interface, clunky door opening push button, operating control buttons are very hard to press especially if your fingers are… Read more
wet, tired, arthritic, etc. Theres no option to just add a minute, you have to enter the exact time in seconds and then it gets that wrong anyway (like microwave ovens from 1990s). The interior has holes on the side that catch sprayed grease and smoke into a sealed cavity that then can't be cleaned. The operating and warning beeps are piercingly loud and repeat too often - might be useful if you are hard of hearing, but there should be an option to disable the sounds, lower the volume or change the tone, a basic function many other brands offer.
As an added nuisance, Sharp Australia's website had no manuals listed for their microwave - seems they're embarassed to list them. I was able to find it in the overseas site, but it was 95% instruction for cooking different foods (note to Sharp: no human ever referred to an oven manual for that, we follow what recipe books say), nothing here about setting functions (aside from child lock), just to reinforce how unusually peimitive the functionality is.
At least it has an easy clean flat black front face.
