Sharp R662KM

"I needed a new microwave for my flat, but didn't want to spend the earth on it.  I was only after a small sized one, but needed a grill as well.  I had a quick shop around and plumped for the Sharp R662KM - it looked pretty good in the pics and online the reviews were largely positive.  Upon receiving it a couple of days later, it was relatively easy to setup and get running.  The buttons are marked clearly, so you don't really need to check the manual at all to get it working.  As it's a 20 litre microwave, the R662KM is reasonably small - that said it still functions well and fitted all of the plates I tried, with the exception of one very large square shaped dish.  I wouldn't let that put you off though - it will be fine for the vast majority of customers.  My older microwave that this one is replacing was quite old - this model heats up far faster and makes less noise too.  Overall I'm impressed with it - it works really well, didn't cost too much, is easy to use and clean and feels like it will last a long time.  If you're looking for a cheap grill microwave, then the R662KM is worth looking at - I'm very happy with mine."

"I ended up with some vouchers for my birthday, and shortly afterwards my old microwave broke - so spent them on a new appliance rather than something fun!  That said, I was pleasantly surprised with the Sharp R662KM - it does heat up food very quickly, and the buttons are much easier to learn than my old microwave oven.  It is quite small, but it is deceptively large inside, and it easily fitted my plates and containers.  The grey and black looks smart, and doesn't look too cheap despite the fact it's probably a lower end grill microwave.  In short, it's cheap, small, simple to use and works!" Sheila Roberts, Notts

"My older microwave didn't have a grill, and was on the way out so I decided to upgrade.  The Sharp R662KM is a decent solid microwave, which I found easy to use, despite not being the best with technology.  It doesn't cost too much, and although it doesn't look as nice as some of the more expensive microwaves, it still appears aesthetically pleasing.  I was expecting much for the money, but so far it's certainly exceeded my expectations.  Sharp products tend to be well made, and this microwave is no exception.  5 stars from me!"
