Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sharp R-820JS 0.9-Cubic Foot Grill 2 Convection Microwave, Silver
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this microwave to use during a kitchen remodel. I was hoping that the convection/microwave combination would be useful during the time when I did not have my built in ovens or microwave available. The first thing that we tried to use was the popcorn function and that was enough. HORRIBLE. Would not pop more than 1/4 of a bag of popcorn. If you tried to add more time to the automatic setting, it just burned it. Worthless. Also, reheating anything required a least twice the usual amount of time. The buttons were very un-user friendly and my children complained that "it looked old-fashioned". I could not recommend this unit for anything. It was returned immediately. Very disappointed. I promptly purchased a similar sized Panasonic unit and have had no issues whatsoever.Customer Review: I miss popcorn too...
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this product for just a few days and so far the convection features work well. However, the microwave is sub-par. For example, it takes twice as long to pop microwave popcorn as my old $30 Emerson microwave. The result is that the popcorn burns more than it pops. In general, the microwave seems underpowered. This is a pity because the *combined* microwave/convection functionality is precisely why someone would buy this product, and why I give it only a 2-star rating. The poor microwave performance raises questions about Sharp's quality control standards, in general. Finally, it's also difficult to discern which auto-settings utilize microwave vs. convection heating, and thus difficult to know what materials (e.g., foil vs. paper) are safe as a cover for the dish being prepared.Customer Review: 2nd attempt
Summary: 2 Stars
Seems like Amazon didnt like my initial review (nothing offensive), and they deleted it after 2 days keeping intact all the other positive reviews. Not even an email indicating why it was removed.
Guess they are changing their practices after all.
And there is no way to retrieve it either.
Im not going to waste my time as last time, but a quick summary:
Pros: Looks good, thats it
Cons: too much depth, too slow, lousy toaster (main reason for purchasing it..for a small home)...too many buttons to press for a simple operation, and if u make a mistake, start all over again, lousy lcd display, cannot view from top or side.
Now lets see if they remove this review !
Customer Review: Good until Warranty wore out
Summary: 2 Stars
This microwave worked very well until the 13th Month. (one month after warranty for parts and labor) The microwave quit working. All the other features work fine but the microwave quit heating. I was told by Sharp that I need to call a local repair shop, which I did. Sharp will replace the magnatron but will not cover the labor which is just about the cost of a standard microwave. Too bad for me. Anyways it's decision time to see if we want all the features this has and spend about 100.00 or buy new. I must say that I have never had a microwave oven quit after only 1 year, even a cheap one. Not sure if I just got a bad unit or just not a good durable unit to begin with.Customer Review: Most versatile microwave I have ever owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
Treated myself to all new small kitchen appliances when my husband and I bought another house. Love gadgets and tech, especially in the kitchen ... but like everyone else, expect them to work, be worth it. Had fun researching every purchase. My kitchen counter space is limited - wanted multi purpose. Never liked the taste of microwaved foods - in the past just used for warm ups etc. ... until I bought this microwave! It delivers. Actually does grill, roast, bake ... I love it! Liked it so much, bought one for my son, who lives in cold, wet climate and cooking out was always a struggle. This is one great oven. Be sure to double check pricing online, for best value.
