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

Living on an island I had a unique problem with turntable microwaves, in a very short space of time, the turntable platform would go rusty as the friction weakens the paint away and the sea air accelerated the dreaded rust. A flatbed resolves this problem, hence my choice. However, this review is to say just how impressed I am with this SHARP microwave in other areas. I’ve had this microwave 2 months so far, I will never go back to a turntable version, and Sharp has exceeded my expectations in all areas. It’s a nice standard size but with great interior volume, cleaning is so easy that it’s done every time with a simple wipe with kitchen roll or towel, you can’t do that with a turn table in the way. The settings are just easy to get along with and nothing complicated. Quick start is 30 seconds a push, a couple of taps and it’s great. At 900w it’s getting two potatoes done in 8 min (12 if they are big ones) that’s 50% quicker than my turntable one so it’s more energy efficient and convenient. It looks very good, quality materials used throughout, I think this will live for a long time. Its longevity increased by easy maintenance. 100% recommended, put simply, they have nailed it! This is definitely the one to choose (price / quality / ease of use)

Excellent product so much more room than a normal microwave. Easy to use and clean

I like how smart it looks. I just needed a solo microwave that was easy to clean and found this is one of the better models out there. Having had this appliance only a day my review is doesn't cover its longevity but has a few tips. If you want the microwave to not budge when opening the door, I would invest in an anti-slip mat. Also the LED light looks like a normal incandescent bulb and is rather dim. I also struggle to make out the labels but no matter, there aren't too many labels. While messing with the buttons I found that there is a Mute function, which I accidentally activated by pressing the child lock button for 5 seconds. This is not spoken about at all in the manual that was in the box, however if you download the manual from manuals lib , it explains this and many other features like the mysterious Eco mode ( turns off the clock display - rather like a sleep mode on PCs ) There is a rather irritating safety lock mode which renders the controls useless after 1 minute inactivity until the door is open then shut. Despite these niggles, its a great microwave :)

This machine is the next level in microwave technology. My original microwave oven required food to be moved about in stages to get heated through because the microwave energy was a fairly narrow beam that was selected around inside the oven but was never as effective as when the next generation with a revolving glass plate, automatically moved the food and made heating more effective. The misnomer that microwaves cook from the inside outwards was obviously wrong, as defrosted food was still frozen in the middle, whilst almost cooked on the outside. The new Sharp flat bed microwave technology really works! I wascastonishedvat how good it really is and the machine is so easy to operate and keep clean. The scattergun microwaves truly penetrate is all directions evenly heating whatever you put in there. It is 25L capacity and all of the space can be used unlike and rotating plate version which is limited to the size of the glass plate. I absolutely love this machine and so glad I bought it.

Really good and surprisingly spacious.

Ideal family kitchen appliance Advantage of having no moving parts easy to clean

Works great and is easy to use. Looks great in the kitchen.controls are straight forward

4 months in and an error code !!! not in the instructions won't work so contacted the manufacturer. error code does not normally belong to this model, Attempted resets failed . error code was found eventually meaning the door was not shutting fully and showing the sensor it was shut fully. returned to seller for a refund. as was not amazon it becomes a complicated process.

Very happy with this, took a few minutes to figure out how to use and set the clock etc, but once that was sorted it is easy peasy. I feel that microwave design has finally moved forwards instead of being stuck in the past with turntables and plastic bits that enable the turntable to go round and round! Easy to use, easy to clean, easy on the purse - what's not to like? Oh yeah, maybe the fact the price went down 5% inbetween me ordering it and delivery but I am so happy with this item, I don't even care!

It absolutely brilliant 👏 NO ROUND PLATE!!!
