SHARPR372WM Solo Touch Control Microwave, 25 Litre capacity, 900W, White

The microwave was delivered within 3 days of ordering, well packed and excellent service from the seller.I have had this microwave for a few weeks now and have found it to be well constructed and it looks very good.. It takes my largest dinner plates with ease and I find it much quieter than my old machine. I have used a large 10" pyrex casserole dish in it with ease.The instructions received with it I found easy to read and understand, it only took me a couple of attempts, before I was able to operate it without the instructions in front of me. I particularly like the fact that instead of rotating through programmes e.g. P1, P2, P3 as on my last microwave - then having to look up what each programme does, this rotates through 100% power, 90%, 80% etc right down to 10% for slow defrost. I find this much easier to understand and use. The lower the power the slower the cooking time, on 50% power I found it made a beef hotpot/stew that tasted as good as when I use my slow cooker.2 very little niggles:- I agree with another reviewer that the writing on the control buttons is not always easy to read, particularly in artificial light, so I had to move my kitchen around a little to be able to read them. However as with most kitchen appliances, I now know which buttons to press so this has become less of a problem.This microwave only beeps at you once when the cooking time has finished. My last one beeped every minute after that, so it was impossible to forget you had items in the microwave. Getting older and with a memory like a sieve, I miss that reminder, however most people would probably not have that problem!!I recommend this item to anyone looking for a new microwave.

LOVE this microwave! I had wanted a black one, to go with my kitchen, but went for this silver one as it had a bit of a discount. It looks great. Here are my reasons for choosing it and how it matches up:Wattage - it is 900w - it cooks food even faster than the listed heat up times on labels, e.g. ready mash label said for a 900w, it would take 5and a half mins to cook, this microwave had it piping hot in only 4 minutes.Large interier - can easily fit a large dinner plate or casserole dish inside. It doesn't seem that bigger on the worktop. Must be like a tardis :)Fully digital - I didn't want any knobs or dials and this has none, only buttons.Second button - this has minute button, 10 seconds and 1 second buttons. I like being able to insert the time manually, down to the last second.Easy to set up - I'm a technophobe, so I need something simple. I was able to set the time clock and use this machine without opening the instruction manual. Bonus!Simple to use - this has a 3 step, quick, manual cooking option - simply hit "power"; however many minutes/seconds you need; then hit "start". This oven also has "quick buttons" for popular foods, e.g. baked potato. I don't tend to use these much.Good brand - Sharp is a reputable brand. I specifically chose a Sharp microwave because my last one lasted for over 20 years. It only broke because my son forced the door, not because it stopped working. I'm hoping I will get a good few years out of this one.Price - not the cheapest out there, but I didn't want the cheapest: I wanted a microwave that was built to last for years, and that I could use every day without any hassle. I'm confdent this will deliver on that. It's certainly a pleasure to use.Delivery - I wanted it quick!So yes, highly recommend this microwave.

Works well, great footprint, great internal space, just the look and feel is not great. Would expect something sharper from Sharp.

Really good microwave for the money. Easy to use, good looking, easy to clean

We owned our previous microwave oven for about 16 years and it had recently appeared to be losing power. Several instances of grossly under-cooked microwave foods, even after extended cooking times, and others still part-frozen after a supposedly suitable defrost time provided an indication of its worsening performance. We had considered a replacement a year or two ago, and before any loss of performance was seen, because of its age and also to gain advantage from facilities on newer models but were unable to find at that time anything we liked with desirable features. Several brands and models available on the high street and on-line were evaluated and compared before now deciding on this.Sharp is one of the brands currently most highly rated among users and this model has about the highest rating of all models and brands excluding those that also include grills, infra-red ovens or other similar facilities that would probably not be needed or used. Although the colour is described as 'white', the most obvious and visible portion is the front which appears almost entirely black when not actually working.A 25-litre capacity means that it is a fairly large, heavy machine with a 900W power rating and 11 levels of power available at steps of 10% reduction each time allowing it to cope with just about anything. Also, if a product offers timing only for a 650-700W model, you can set it to 70% or 80% power (for equivalent 630 or 720W) and use its published cooking time. It also offers eight different cook and defrost settings with the additional option of numerous manual combinations. It should be sufficient for the 'typical' two adults plus two (or possibly, three) family and be able to accept a wide range of different microwave approved cooking utensils on its extra-large turntable (31.5cm, approx 12.5-inches diameter) but with rather little clearance. Containers that overhang the platter by more a few millimeteres will probably be unsuitable. It provides maximum cooking times of just under 100 minutes, in 10 second increments from zero upwards, which offers considerable scope whether cooking, defrosting or warming.The user interface is clean, relying on a relatively few buttons, is well laid out and it should prove easy to use once familiarity is reached. Its LED clock display is sufficiently large and bright, easy to read and a vast improvement on the non-backlit LCD display we have had to cope with until now. It also offers a 24-hour clock and a kitchen timer function, should you need one.Although there is a facility to defrost an item according to its weight, there is no direct equivalent when cooking the same item. However, if a reference source or experience shows that a certain food needs x minutes per kilo on a certain setting to cook to your taste, it should not be too difficult to calculate the cooking time for a different weight at the same setting.The oven has a dark grey interior and typical lighting, so observing how your food looks at any stage of its cooking or defrosting is slightly hampered. The colour of the coating may be technically justified but Sharp have made no additional concession to it. Brighter lighting, perhaps with a second illumination panel could improve it. Better lighting would also benefit the finding and cleaning of any splashes that can sometimes occur, even if food is covered.Overall, it promises much at a fairly modest price - our now discarded model was more expensive, had a lower power rating and lesser capacity and with fewer features.In respect of its manual, more than three-quarters of its contents is about safety and precautions and only a small section about its use, set-up etc. This may be rational as use will become almost automatic over time but the safety precautions may be forgotten.

Very good product good size easy to use easy to clean worth value of money

Almost perfect, just annoying that it comes only with a UK- cable.The problem is easily solved with an adapter and the over has been working flawlessly since we had it :)

es el segundo micro de esta marca que tengo, el primero tiene más de 10 años y ahora le tiene mi madre porque no la gustaba ninguno de los que hay ahora y sigue funcionando de maravilla. Este es un poco demasiado digital pero por lo demás perfecto.

Well I guess I need to pay more attention to the seller. This microwave is not compatible with the electrical outlets in Austria. The plug is for the UK. I did not see that before I ordered that the seller is in the UK. But there is nothing in the product description that states the plug is for UK. Why would you sell a product in a country where people cannot use it? How stupid! I purchased through Amazon.de. The products should be appropriate for people living in Germany and Austria.
