I bought this microwave from Amazon, based on the reviews and it was the best looking microwave in Currys also (but they wanted £80 for it). I have 2 Sharp TVs and have found it a reliable brand.
Not used the grill facility in it, as my oven has a built-in grill, but microwave is powerful, display does have a 12 / 24hr clock (despite what someone has previously said on here), it illuminates in blue so looks very modern. Even the "beep" noise doesn't sound cheap, and I'm confident this is the best microwave on the market today.

Amazon Verified Purchase
To my mind the selling point of this microwave oven is the built in quartz grill, a very unusual feature for units at this price point. For the purpose of the review I will concentrate on this aspect.
My old microwave packed in and so I decided to look for a replacement but this time I wanted one with an integral grill. The problem with most dual function ovens lies with the grill element: they seem usually to be metal heating bars permanently suspended from the roof of the oven interior. This restricts the height of the cooking bowl that can be used inside and restricts the potential of the oven.
In searching online I found that this unit features a Quartz grill rather than the more usual type. In fact this was the only microwave oven with such a grill at this price range that I could find. Further investigation online failed show just how the heating element was mounted in the oven but I decided to order anyway. We were lucky for it turned out that the grill element was recessed in to the roof of the oven interior behind glass (or quartz, I suppose) with no projections to get in the way. The grill works really well and the supplied metal stand raises the food to the right distance from the heating elements. Note that the heating elements are only in the rear half of the roof but as the turntable rotates in use all the food gets equal coverage. The oven is quite small and the grill stand smaller still so only single slices of toasted cheese can be accomodated.... (shame).
But enough about the grill...
This is a very attractive device with a shiny stainless steel interior and a black plastic fascia with a grey band below. A small but bright blue LED panels displays the clock, timer and other relevant information. It has a built in kitchen timer separate in function from the timer used with the oven itself. There are a number of presets available from push buttons on the front of the oven to prepare a variety of simple cooking and defrosting tasks.
The oven works well as a microwave as well as a grill and makes a worthwhile addition to any kitchen.
The Good
Quartz grill is unique at this price and works really well without restricting oven space.
Plenty of pre sets and automated cooking functions
Attractive design and styling
Quiet in operation
Lightweight and easy to move
Easy clean stainless steel interior
Unusual blue LED display
The Bad
Grilling is restricted to small plate sizes
Build quality could be stronger and more robust for heavy use, particularly the door
LED display is quite small but very bright
Grilling stand does not fold up for storage

My girlfriend did most of the research work on this microwave but after it got delivered, I discovered why it was her final choice. I have never had a microwave/grill before and I have to say I am impressed with it. Firstly, the aesthetics of the machine is beautiful, it goes very well with a black and white/chrome kitchen (which we have). Secondly, it is quite powerful and grills quite well. Granted I have never had a an electronic grill. but we have tried different foods, like meat, corn-on-cob etc and it works very well. It was easy to program, came with a few accessories like the usually microwave plate and a grill stand. All in all, I am happy with the purchase.

Compact and simple!
Found this very easy to use, despite there appearing to be lots of buttons. Is very compact but takes a full size dining plate easily. Grill is very fast.
