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.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU EXPECT THE CONVECTION OVEN TO HEAT TO THE SET TEMPERATURE. I have used two oven thermometers to check the operating… Read more
temperature and this oven is consistently below what is expected. Set for 220 degrees and recorded 160 degrees on the thermometer. Spoke with Sharp Australia (1300742770) and was informed that a technician would visit and test the oven. If the oven operated according to specifications then I would be charged for the service fee. My concern is being told that even though the oven does not reach the required operating temperature is not a fault according to the T & C's. (the usual weasel words used by companies). This microwave/convection oven is not fit for purpose as the external cabinet gets very hot during operation so it is obvious where the heat is being lost.
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.
Have had this convection/microwave now for about 18mths. Gave up on it early days and have just decided to give it another go. Still have the same… Read more
opinion, absolutely useless. For nearly $900, I am so sorry I bought it. My new home has a large oven and I thought this would be ideal to use instead of using the big oven. Well it was never going to happen. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
I purchased microwave last August and already it rocks and makes noises while cooking. I have made sure all is clean inside but still always noise. As a typical male I have noit kept receipt so this one will go in the bin and start again. A lemon! Show details

Good microwave when working but poor build quality and broke after 7 years . The good : heats food really well and is quite powerful. Bright… Read more
interior light so you see if your liquids are overflowing . Samsung microwaves don’t seem to have this feature. Easy to use and looks good in silver . One of the few microwaves to fit a 34l space . “Rice” preset cooks perfectly in a rice cooker as does “ reheat plate” which reheats a dinner plate full of cooked food brought out of a fridge . Great for re-heating yesterday's leftover s. Put a splatter lid over the food. press " reheat plate " and a your dinner will come out perfectly reheated without any guesswork.
The bad :I bought this microwave to replace an old LG microwave of about 15 years of age that was quite rusty inside . When I unboxed the Sharp microwave I was disappointed in the build quality It was a lot lighter than the LG and had a cheap feel about it. When heating food, even the noise it made from the magnetron sounded cheap and strained in some way . The door slams really loudly and is really annoying if you live in a shared living room/ kitchen . My concerns about the poor build quality were proven right because after only 2 months the internal LED light started flickering and eventually blew . Sharp replaced it under warranty , but the old LG microwave had a traditional halogen bulb which was still working after 15 years of used. After about 2 years, the cavity lining of the Sharp started to bubble and split . Then eventually started to peel off. The microwave started to rust after that. After about three years the turntable platter started to rotate unevenly causing the food to be unevenly heated . In year 7 the microwave failed completely with an Es 5 error. It won’t heat food at all . I wish I’d have kept the LG microwave that I bought in 1997 which I’m sure would be still working today . My advice is don’t buy any new electrical products just for the sake of purchasing something “ new” if your existing appliance is working fine. The new ones simply will not last as long. I would not buy another Sharp product again .
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.
