I have bought 4 Sharp Carousel Microwave Convectional Ovens over the past 30 years - I have often thought that I cannot cook without it! I have loved using the sensor cook - so easy. I thought them well built and reliable. I bought my last one and am not happy. Where has the jacket potato, roast lamb, roast beef, sensor cook frozen vegetables gone? Replaced with pumpkin risotto, potato chips, 500g frozen vegetables, (who cooks that much for a family?), pizza and cake in a microwave and other useless programs. Did any cooks/chefs test your p...

We purchased the R995DW convection microwave 13 months ago it is a month out of warranty and from last night it does not work. After paying over $800 dollars for this product you would have thought it would have lasted longer than this.

We have used Sharp convection microwave ovens for many years. Our first lasted for over 15 years before it was time to renew. Made in Japan, they were reliable and the convection function the best in the market. To the point where most of our cooking could be done in the one oven. Then something changed. When we updated to the new model, we noticed early on that the build quality wasn't the same. Sure, changing the door mechanism to side opening instead of the original drop down door was an improvement, but the microwave just seemed 'tinny'. I ...

This is my 4th Sharp Convection Microwave in 30 years. They are amazing, reliable and l wouldn't be without one. And whilst this oven cooks and works well l must say the "updated" changes are definitely not all for the best. I still would recommend it but just a few gripes here. Firstly the reduction in size is the biggest issue of all. The wire plate rack which has always been great for heating 2 dinner plates at once is still there but becuase of the smaller oven size you can't put a plat at the bottom unless you take out the rack....CRAZY!!!...

We were the happy owners of a sharp convection microwave for almost 20 years . I purchased a new sharp R995DW convection., but after just 4 months the new machine died completely so I returned it to the sharp service provider for repair. After waiting 3 weeks I have been told to be patient as parts are unavailable. I am starting to get really tired of barbeques and thinking that my purchase was a BIG MISTAKE. Any new barbeque recipes or suggestions would be gratefully received. Bob

Bought it so we don't have to use a 900 (90cm) for things like pies, sausage rolls and small volume Items.
Cakes have been excellent, Pork roast and chicken we need to have a play more to get it right as with the chips.
Shame it didn't come with some round oven/microwave glass dishes.

My Sharp microwave R350EW is a HUGE problem though as Sharp still haven't delivered it to RT EDWARDS even when it was ordered in store at the same time, 3 weeks so far.
RT Edwards did a great deal on the items while Harvey Norman Logan home Hyperdome were charging the Stainless steel price for the white one and very poor customers service :(

Last year I had brought my Sharp Convection R995DW from Harvey Normans. I find with many microwave,. that their rated microwave power is very iffy, not with this one, the microwave power you get, is what they tell you. This one is like an oven, as you get 2 black grill trays that can be slide in and out, and use it like a normal oven and grill, it also comes with the metal racks that other convection ones come with, plus a microwave mwtal turn table, rather than a glass one. I have had ones with the glass ones in the past, and find that mos...

I used to have the Sharp Carousel microwave convection grill oven which was mid-size. When it died after 13 years, I wanted to stick with Sharp because my old one was really good but I wanted a larger one. So, I bought the Sharp R995DW. The convection oven part is not very hot. I noticed this when I oven baking the same amount of french fries that I usually do at the same temperature, same time and same brand of chips. Before, microwaving them for 1 min 30 seconds followed by preheating and 10 mins at 200 centigrade used to get them really crunchy. With the new Sharp R995DW, the chips are not crunchy even at 220 centigrade. I suggest that others stick to a mid-size convection grill microwave and find one with much better reviews.
