Sharp R-55TS Warm & Toasty Toaster/Microwave Review

Sharp R-55TS Warm and Toasty Toaster/Microwave

In the aesthetics department this item is top notch for anyone going for a stainless steel look in their kitchen. Brushed steel on front, with a black glass window - black metal on sides. Surprisingly, this is more important that I would have thought.
It microwaves well, though at 650W. The controls are convienent, and fast - with a single "one minute" button to save time on reheats. Seems to cook very evenly.
A nice function is the ability to turn the sound off completely - ridding your home of one source of beeps and chirps.
The oven works well for cooking. The toaster works surprisingly well, but it takes close to 3 minutes for a slice of bread. In the toast department, I'd recommend a stand-alone drop-in style toaster.
You can combine cooking and microwaving in steps (thaw then cook, not both at once).

Haier MWM0701TB Compact 2/3-Cubic-Foot 700-Watt Microwave Oven, Black Review

This is overall a mediocre microwave. I read the reviews that warned of the problems described below but went ahead with the purchase because of the size and price. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, but it's really only for tiny studio apartments like mine. If you have space, I'd recommend going with a larger microwave.
Pros: Very small so it fits great in my tiny studio apartment. Buttons and door work fine. Good kitchen timer.
Cons: Very low power so microwave times are longer than normal. At times heats items unevenly (top will be cooked while bottom will be frozen). Internal tray rotates, but microwave is so small that normal sized plates or square plates will bump into the walls and stop the rotation.

The oven's user-friendly control panel also offers 10 power levels, a defrost setting, an add-30-seconds option, and a digital clock and kitchen timer. Other highlights include a child-safety lock, a pull-handle design, an easy-to-clean interior, and a sleek look that will nicely accommodate any kitchen decor.

Sharp R-230KK 800-Watt 4/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Microwave, Black Review

I bought this Microwave to replace an older Sharp model. I have had very good luck with Sharp Microwaves and this new one is no different. It's a very good compact microwave for one or two people. It was very easy to set the clock and use right out of the box. I love the look of it. The buttons are very simple to use. I don't use my microwave for cooking that much, I use it mostly for reheating and defrosting. I am a single mom with one teenage son who never eats at the same time as I do so it comes in very handy. I do sometimes cook bacon and pototoes in it. It makes great baked potatoes. It you have more than two people in your family you might want to get a larger oven. I have been using Sharp microwaves for many, many years, they make a great product. I highly recommend this model and all Sharps for that matter.

With a 4/5-cubic-foot capacity, this 800-watt microwave oven provides ample cooking power and a compact size ideal for an individual or couple. Fifteen automatic settings take the guesswork out of cooking by automatically setting cooking times and power levels, while the oven's 10-3/4-inch-diameter turntable provides even heating. Defrost settings quickly defrost meats and poultry by weight, four cooking options ensure perfectly cooked popular foods for one or two servings, and six reheat options make it especially easy to heat frequently served foods including beverages, pizza, rolls, and muffins. In addition, Minute Plus sets the oven at "high" with a single touch, while a popcorn sensor pops microwave popcorn automatically, regardless of package size or brand. For added convenience, the oven comes with an interior light, auto-touch controls, and an easy-to-read four-digit LCD display. The microwave oven measures 18-1/8 by 10-7/8 by 14-1/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
