SHARP YC-QS302AU-B 30 Litre 900W Digital FLATBED Microwave, 10 power levels, ECO Mode, defrost function, LED cavity light - Black

Living on an island I had a unique problem with turntable microwaves, in a very short space of time, the turntable platform would go rusty as the friction weakens the paint away and the sea air accelerated the dreaded rust. A flatbed resolves this problem, hence my choice. However, this review is to say just how impressed I am with this SHARP microwave in other areas. I’ve had this microwave 2 months so far, I will never go back to a turntable version, and Sharp has exceeded my expectations in all areas. It’s a nice standard size but with great interior volume, cleaning is so easy that it’s done every time with a simple wipe with kitchen roll or towel, you can’t do that with a turn table in the way. The settings are just easy to get along with and nothing complicated. Quick start is 30 seconds a push, a couple of taps and it’s great. At 900w it’s getting two potatoes done in 8 min (12 if they are big ones) that’s 50% quicker than my turntable one so it’s more energy efficient and convenient. It looks very good, quality materials used throughout, I think this will live for a long time. Its longevity increased by easy maintenance. 100% recommended, put simply, they have nailed it! This is definitely the one to choose (price / quality / ease of use)

This machine is the next level in microwave technology. My original microwave oven required food to be moved about in stages to get heated through because the microwave energy was a fairly narrow beam that was selected around inside the oven but was never as effective as when the next generation with a revolving glass plate, automatically moved the food and made heating more effective. The misnomer that microwaves cook from the inside outwards was obviously wrong, as defrosted food was still frozen in the middle, whilst almost cooked on the outside. The new Sharp flat bed microwave technology really works! I wascastonishedvat how good it really is and the machine is so easy to operate and keep clean. The scattergun microwaves truly penetrate is all directions evenly heating whatever you put in there. It is 25L capacity and all of the space can be used unlike and rotating plate version which is limited to the size of the glass plate. I absolutely love this machine and so glad I bought it.

I had to send the 1st microwave i had back as the front left leg was too short and it wobbled on the surface. However i chose a straight replacement and the replacement was absolutely perfect. Have had it 6 weeks now and i would never go back to a standard microwave. This heats evenly, food is piping hot, and its so easy to clean. It does get condensation inside after cooking so wipe off the water including the roof inside and leave the door open and allow it to dry out for 5 minutes or so after every use. This will stop any damage. Love the dial, goes up in 30 second increments, and when you press and hold the stop button it turns the display off to save power. I couldnt do the warranty though as the model option isnt on the sharp page but the warranty is only for one year anyway which Amazon would be responsible for. I use this every single day. Worth every penny to me.

Great design and practicality. Looks great in my kitchen and received loads of compliments. Like the fact that it is flatbed and appears to be rust resistant - have been in active use for 15 months. It is easy to clean as there is no flimsy turntable to battle with. The size is just right and a great value for every penny spent.

I totally love the price l paid £200 plus 2 year cover for £12 so worth it ever since l use it all the time

Really easy to use and cheaper than the one I purchased before with a flat bed and no turn table, removed 2 starts as mine what’s 3 defects and I feel it’s missing 2 functions it should have as a microwave. I had a few issues with mine but sending it back meant I had to get a refund first and then buy another one and the price had gone up so I didn’t do this, instead I live with the defects:- 1)Feet aren’t the same height so it rocks back and forth. 2)Child locked itself and wouldn’t start cooking, corrected itself now since I have propped up the shorter leg. 3)The steam goes into the timer clock (but once finishes and door is left open it goes). Minor things it can’t do but I would have liked: Can’t turn the light out while you leave the door open to dry out. Can’t reduce or add to cooking timer once it’s started started. I would still buy again due to the price and being a small number of flatbeds about.

The microwve is smart ,compact l and ooks good. Easy to use controls.

This is an amazing microwave....so far. Still exploring it as only had it 2 days. It is incredibly easy to use and the flatbed technology means there's much more space available inside. It looks stylish and gets the job done, from the functionality I've used so far. Absolutely delighted and highly recommend this product.

Very happy with this, took a few minutes to figure out how to use and set the clock etc, but once that was sorted it is easy peasy. I feel that microwave design has finally moved forwards instead of being stuck in the past with turntables and plastic bits that enable the turntable to go round and round! Easy to use, easy to clean, easy on the purse - what's not to like? Oh yeah, maybe the fact the price went down 5% inbetween me ordering it and delivery but I am so happy with this item, I don't even care!

It absolutely brilliant 👏 NO ROUND PLATE!!!
