Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-820JS 0.9-Cubic Foot Grill 2 Convection Microwave, Silver
Customer Review: pleased with purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife and I are very pleased with this purchase. The price at amazon was the best we found at the time. It arrived very quickly. This little oven has so many features and once you learn them food prep is a snap. We used this product to replace a micowave gone bad. Once it arrive though, we were able also to donate our toaster oven and save space.
One item we wished was better was the noise level. We understand the oven needs to cool itself and accept the trade off of having a multifunctional device. The fan probably runs so long for safety. But it can be a bit noisey for a while after your through cooking with the device.
One note to potential buyers, reconize its wattage. We went from a higher wattage microwave and had to readjust our cooking time a little to make up for the lower power level. The trade off is well worth have a microwave that microwaves, grills, toast, acts as a convection oven, defrost very nicely, and can do a combination of these.
Customer Review: Sharp Microwave/Convection Oven
Summary: 5 Stars
After working with one of the early microwaves for years, I was delighted when it finally died. There had been much discussion at our house about our "next" microwave and we had already decided to go with a microwave/convection combination. The Sharp has a good reputation with us so I looked long and hard on line before I selected the .9 Sharp.
We were not disappointed - it is very roomy inside - a large dinner plate fits inside easily. It is very good looking and easy to keep clean inside and out (I chose the stainless).
I was amazed to be able to cook on a metal rack and cooked a large stuffed pork chop to well-browned perfection in 17 minutes.
I word of advice, read the instructions and keep the sheet with the auto instructions near the oven until you get used to it. It won't let you make mistakes though. And as to the popcorn controversy -- put the popcorn on top of an inverted pyrex pie pan on top of the carosel. No burning!
Customer Review: Forget about using your conventional range!
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in an "empty nest", but have always cooked for myself. Twice a day I would use my conventional oven to prepare my meals. I had a microwave too, but used it primarily for popcorn!
A few month ago I replaced my microwave with a Sharp R-820JS, and now do all of my cooking that does not require a pot in it. It is marvelous. Each and every time the food comes out perfectly cooked. Clean-up is a snap for both the interior of the unit and the porcelin carousel and the grill rack.
It seems to me that a family of four could probably have a majority of their meals cooked in this oven rather then using a hot conventional oven. This unit even has settings for certain baking although I have not tried them.
Since purchasing and using this unit, I eliminated getting burned by the hot oven. I used to call them "war scars". Now it is a pleasure to cook.
Customer Review: Insufficient information given--cannot install over heat element.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to rate this item with one star because I was unable to use the product. There is no way I can express the functionality of the Sharp R-820JS microwave/convection oven, because I could not install it. If I had been told that it could not be installed over a heat source, I would not have purchased it. No where in the description of the oven was this noted. In all of the 35 reviews, no one said anything about not installing it over a range. I found out that it could not be installed over a heat source when I read the manual. That was too late! I had already purchased the unit, and it was delivered. Perhaps this has happened to other people, but they have not written of their disappointment of not being able to use this product, due to the negative feature of this Sharp oven. Hopefully, this will prevent others from getting it and having to return it.Customer Review: Awesome Convention Microwave...
Summary: 5 Stars
After looking for a microwave on the internet, I came upon this conventional. After reading many good reviews about the Sharp R-820JS 0.9-Cubic Foot Grill 2 Convection Microwave, Silver, I decided to buy this microwave on Amazon.com for the price and it's customer reviews. I'm glad I did because I use this conventional microwave every day now. I haven't used the oven since the microwave arrived. I've had this conventional microwave for about a week now and I have to say that I love it! I use it to roast pork lion. The pork meat maintained it's seasoning taste, the inside is juiciness and outside brown-colored. The led light helped me see how the food was cooking while in the microwave, which I found myself doing most of the time. Overall, this is a great conventional microwave.
I recommend this product to anyone looking to buy a conventional microwave.
