Sharp R98STM Review

Good Points
Excellent cooking results with Grill and Convection cooking.

Bad Points
Durability. Had to replace within 1 year, then replacement failed after 18 months

General Comments
This is a very good combi microwave. Although it is an ideal size if you are cooking for 2 people, it is quite a big lump to have sitting on your worktop. If it were not for my negative experiences re durability I would have been more than happy to recommend this appliance. However, my first appliance was replaced in the first year because the LED read-out failed. Now after just 18 months the microwave on the replacement appliance has failed, even though the microwave part of this combi oven has had only approximately 8 hours of usage. I will not be buying another one.
