SHARP YC-GG02U-B Compact 20 Litre 700W Digital Microwave with 1000W Grill, 3 power levels, ECO Mode, defrost function, LED cavity light - Black

Great value microwave , for my needs which is to heat food for 1-2 minutes it works perfectly! Comes with a variety of different settings which is nice to have but not something that I have needed to use. Simple to operate and spacious.

Adequate capacity for this 2 person household, small enough to fit the aperture in our kitchen wall cabinets. Our first non digitally controlled microwave and if I'm honest I miss the 30 second blip button that was on previous appliances, but the rotary controller has differential spacings for shorter cooking times, let's be honest, reheating times, it'll be used for cooking fish, (brilliant at it) and scrambled eggs, but apart from that, it's really for warming up stuff. The grill function feels a bit like an ashtray on a bicycle but the appearance and dimensions of the model we wanted added It to the spec. It feels reasonably robust and is no noisier in operation than it's predecessors. It was good value from a familiar trusted brand.

I needed a powerful yet compact microwave for my kitchen, and the SHARP YC-GG02U-B fits the bill perfectly. It's surprisingly roomy for its size and the 700W power cooks my meals quickly. Only real negative is the cavity LED (the bulb that lights up when you open or use it) stopped working. It was purchased towards the end of 2021 and the bulb lasted around 2 years - maybe that's standard, but seems less than previous microwaves. They are cheap to replace though. The digital controls are straightforward and have all the settings I need for basic cooking and defrosting. The grill is an added bonus for when I want something toasted. It has a modern look that fits well in my kitchen. Cleaning is simple too. For the price, this microwave is a great buy – I'd definitely recommend it!

I'm very happy with this microwave, which I've now had for nearly 2 months. It's very easy to use, no fuss. I mostly use the high microwave setting, or the grill. The grill function is a great addition for some quick fixes, and to avoid heating up the full oven for something small. It's cheaper than most combi models that I found online. The only negative is the beeping when it finishes, which all microwaves seems to have. It beeps 5 times if you don't open the door before it reaches the specified time. It's not a very loud beep, but still annoying. I'd love to be able to switch this off.

Work,s well . Good for £

Very easy to operate and has three different heat levels low, medium and high. It is very reliable and strong product. It’s a great value for money.

Made a mistake choosing manual version of this microwave. The timer is flimsy and inaccurate, there is no way of timing anything consistently without guessing. The power goes off before it hits zero! The Push button to open the door is too narrow and low down so very awkward to use and I keep painfully catching my fingernails in the gap above it. The Interior of the microwave constantly fills with condensation and pools of water on the base. I’ve never had this happen before so I reckon I’m this appliance won’t last very long. All in all very disappointed by this purchase.

Ok microwave but the timer resets every time you open the door witch is really annoying.
