Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-820Bk 900-Watt 0.9 Cubic Foot Convection Microwave, Black
Customer Review: Excellent microwave and roaster
Summary: 5 Stars
This microwave has many features, some of which I have tested. Mainly we purchased this for basic food reheating, but the roasting function has proven to be quite handy as well. This microwave is not sufficient to make toast, however, it works well to toast things like nuts. What this microwave is really good at is roasting meat (we have tried chicken and turkey) as a substitute for normal oven cooking. I am pretty sure that it is more energy efficient to cook meat this way, it is also substantially faster. And when it comes to cooking dinner, faster is definitely better. Some features which many annoy some: the turntable always spins, and it interior is not very large. These are things that are just fine with me. For anyone who lives in a very small space and does not have a proper oven, this would be a very fine substitute.Customer Review: The Perfect Appliance for a Single Person

I "blew up" my microwave by forgetting to push "timer" before setting the time, and the gas oven in my little mobile home has never worked. My toaster oven is too small to bake much, and my mom has always sworn that her convection oven was the greatest. When I found this Microwave/Convection oven, I decided it was worth trying, in spite of some reviews that left me wondering. And it was on sale with free shipping! I am very satisfied with it. I tried using the package instructions when baking a frozen pizza and cremated it. The next time, I used the programmed setting and it came out great. I've done casseroles, bread, cookies, lots of microwave functions, but not the roast feature yet. Yes, the display doesn't show well when viewed from an angle, but that's no big deal. I had no loose parts on mine, and everything is great.Customer Review: Small and compact but big powerfull and smart.

You get what you pay for in this product. I was looking for an all in one Microwave Oven and this is the one I picked. Could not find a quality item at my local outlets. This oven cooks a great steak, a little smokey though, hey what do you expect from a grill. Most important crips my crispys quick with out firing up the gas oven. It's easy to clean. I have it for almost 6 months now and I still have not used all the cooking options. It's just the right size for my medium kitchen counter top.
I can count on this MW to get the job done.
I had some problems cooking OrRed. popcorn. Popcorn bag caught on fire in the oven. Could not figure out if the problem was defective corn. I did learn to let the oven cool down a little before cooking back to back popcorn bags.
Customer Review: Just About the Perfect Appliance
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't add much to what the first reviewer said, except to say you should get one right now! I hardly use any other appliances for cooking anymore. I was a little worried that it would turn out to do everything, but nothing well, but it actually does everything well. You can roast, bake, grill, or microwave, and I have no complaints on any account. It makes the best roast chicken ever, in much less time than it would take to do it in your oven, and really excels with baked goods as well. This is just a terrific appliance, and while the price seems a little high, it is a great value for all that it does. All of this, and it takes up about a third less space than the microwave it replaced. There should be a fan club!Customer Review: This is a work of art!

This "microwave" is a work of art. I've grilled portabello mushrooms in it, I've heated casseroles in it without it drying out as it usually does, and I toasted a french loaf in it. I'm going to try baking a cake in it next. This is SO VERSATILE! You do have to take the time to read the manual, but once you do, it's amazing all the things you can do with it! The screen will ask you questions, such as "how many slices?" for pizza, or "how many cups" for reheating casseroles. It is so amazing! Get this for your kid in college instead of a regular microwave!
