SHARPYC-QS302AU-B 30 Litre 900W Digital FLATBED Microwave, 10 power levels, ECO Mode, defrost function, LED cavity light - Black

This is my first flatbed, and I don't think I'd go back to a turntable. It is easy to clean and the non-stick lining is great and looks well made. Just a wipe with a soapy cloth. The microwave cooking seems uniform (I really use for ready-meals), and I can use larger and rectangular containers too.This is also the first time that I've had an inbuilt grill and it is impressive with almost instant heat and cooking fish was quick and they browned nicely. Jacket potatoes are fast plus get a crispy jacket.You can use a combination of microwave+grill and can select the proportion of each to be used and here the instruction manual is very useful. For simple microwaving it works so logically even a child could guess it, if they can overcome the child lock! Strangely, and cleverly, the control panel won't work until you open the door, so little fingers don't start it accidentally. (After the initial opening the controls work whether the door is open or closed).A niggle, and I was about to return the machine because of it until I worked out what the instructions meant: the beep is loud and it beeps a lot. It will beep when the cooking is done and then beep every two minutes until you open the door. Poor neighbours! However you can mute the sound completely: open the door, press the child lock once, quickly, and "off" appears briefly. The downside though is it doesn't tell you when the cooking has finished.Overall, excellent machine, large enough for couples (bigger version available for families), it is compact, well made and I'd recommend it, even with the b**ping beeping sound!

Nice flat base microwave with grill too. Nice preset program settings & easy to use without preset too. I like that the button & finish noises can be muted. I like that the grill can be used without the microwave as well as combined. The defrost worked particularly well. For me it needed to be smaller size as it weighs less and fits in better. Thank you for such a good value quality product.

Good microwave with a lot of cooking programs. But it's good for my daily use of cooking porridge. Even if it overflows if I put in to much liquid it is so easy to clean as it has a flat base with no turntable.

I shopped around for ages to find a flatbed microwave at the right price and this one fitted the bill. All the functions I need and easy to operate.It’s so loud though! Sounds like a drill sometimes. There’s a small part on the back to protect the lead coming out of the back, which fibrates and makes such a noise. I’ve not yet figured out how to adapt it to make it stop.

Seems fine. Lots of people have mentioned the Loc function. It is confusing because there is a child lock function but there is also an inbuilt security function that sets itself after a period of inactivity and they both show Loc on the display. When you start using the microwave open the door and shut it again. That will clear the inbuilt security function so if it still shows Loc when you try to use it it means the child lock is on so press the child lock button for 3 seconds to switch it off. Looks lovely and I love the flatbed.

Good value for money, quick and easy to set up and use, decent power, easy to clean.

I haven't used the grill yet, but the microwave function is better than my previous 1000W microwave and the flat bed means it is really convenient for large square dishes. Highly recommended.

I made the silly mistake of not reading the one star reviews.The oven temperature is indicated as reaching 200c but the frozen chips were not cooked! A subsequent test with an oven thermometer shows that the temperature was a maximum of 140c! Grill is also useless very low power. Many other negatives too such as a feeble steel rack that falls off, just cheep and nasty.We have had 5 microwave ovens over 40 years , never anything as useless as this! Returning as not fit for purpose.Please note if you want to return to the retailer it has to be taken to a DPD collection point and it weighs 19.3Kg!
