Sharp makes a good microwave

Strengths: Compact, stainless interior, convection, metal is not a problem, lots of automatic modes, good view through the glass

Weakness: Small cavity, can be complicated to use in manual mode, no glass tray.

I got this to replace a Sharp microwave and a convection toaster oven so that I could gain some counter space and it has done just that. The turntable is somewhat flimsy and requires contents to be balanced evenly on the turntable - it rotates and is supported by one center rod. It comes with a porcelain coated metal tray instead of the usual glass one. On the outside is is just slightly smaller than my previous microwave, but the interior seems significantly smaller - I guess that's to be expected with the additional heating elements and convection fan. Aside from that, it does a great job of combo convection/microwave cooking. I made a pizza the first night it arrived and the bottom was nicely browned and even the cheese was slightly browned - a perfect job. You do need to be sensitive tho the cooking containers or you can damage items that are affected by high temperatures when in convection or combo mode. Bottom line: if you don't need a huge microwave or convection oven and would like a unit that doesn't overtake your kitchen, this is the one for you.

Sharp r820js

Strengths: Nice,works great.

Weakness: Lean on power,small cavity.

Sam's selling for $169 in Pittsburgh store. More power and more room, I would rate it a 10. 3 appliances in one saves valuable counterspace. Nice finish to it. Chaz

Love It!

Strengths: Everything!!

Weakness: Not able to adjust contrast of display.

I have to say, this is a great product! This convection microwave is perfect if you are a busy person with many things going on at one time. I truly love, the preheat feature, the oven will beep when ready, pop your dish or baked goods in and poof...it does the rest. Browning is nice and even, I was so amazed, I caught myself just sitting in front peeking through the glass window, watching the magic happen! It is perfect if you have a small kitchen with limited counter space. Accessing the panel, display, and reach inside the oven are wheelchair-friendly from a standard height kitchen counter-top.
