Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-820Bw 900-Watt 0.9-Cubic-Foot Convection Microwave, White
Customer Review: Save your Money!! Do Not Purchase!!! re: sharp 820BW
Summary: 1 Stars
I had the Sharp 930 AW microwave for ten years, with the convection oven and loved it. I caught my watch on the door lever and broke it. When I closed the door, the turntable kept turning, so I felt it unsafe and decided to purchase a new one. Did my research, I am pretty technical with equipment, and decided to purchase the 820BW, since it was 20 lbs. lighter. Firstly, it comes with a "mica filter" inside, which is "paper like", requires cleaning, to prevent megatron from overheating, machine difficult to clean, micro action definitely not accurate, had to redo each step two or three times to get proper heating. Does not have accurate sensors. Have to open door to estimate different foods and get numeric suggestions in computing cooking estimates. Fan exposed in back-open space largeand rounded shape, clumsy, smells up the whole apt. Neighbors complained when I warmed up fish. Oder permeated my hall.I have used my previous model for many years with no complaints. It appears that company does not make same quality goods. Gives directions to get rid of smell with "lemons and cloves" which is outrageous!! Turntable wobbly and not user friendly for liquids and foods must be covered. I was a bit taken back with the cautions on this machine. Having a pacemaker, never had difficulty with the previous one, but this one makes me suspect with safety issues. It definitely is a lemon. Please note: the new 930 AW is also flimsy in structure with the mica insert and similar construction. That's why I did not purchase it. I even tried two micros of same model. First one had a defective door.Hinge was a bit away from cabinet in structure.
It is made in Thialand and I believe put together in France.
Consumer reports does not review this one. They review the 930AW, but it is not on the top of the list. Read reviews before you purchase.
Save yourself a headache. Sharp was called and they wanted to even service the first one after I had it for 1/2/hour!!! I could not believe it. (Probably at my expense.) It ways 45 lbs.I buy tons of items with wonderful Amazon and thankfully they returned it with no hassle. Amazon is the greatest and I hope they look into this item.
I was very disappointed. They do not have a sensor, they have compucooking which is "out to lunch!!" Never calibrates properly even with fresh or frozen veggies or specific simple frozen foods. I pulled out my steamer after 1/2 hour.
I tried everything to make this work, but was very disappointed.
Never again.
I am using a tiny sanyo in the interim until I see what is available in the micro convection area that is decent. At least it warms and is consistent. It only costs $60.00 at bed bath and beyond with a 20% discount it is even cheaper. For temp using it serves it's purpose.
Hope this helps you out there. Buyer beware.
