Good overall, but just bit short of expectations October 30, 2008
New England Yankee (Northern New England)
We had one of Sharp's first micro convection ovens, used it for a number of years, and "lost" it when when it was included as a contingency on a purchase offer for our house! As giving up a 7-8 year-old microwave in order to sell a house seemed like a good trade off, off it went!
In the interim (about 5 years or so), we've owned 3 different microwaves, inclusive of one in an RV (all non-convection). Our new house's kitchen is small and has a single low-end stove, however, so we decided to get another Sharps micro convection oven to supplement our cooking capabilities. The Sharp micro convections are consistently highly-rated and we had a good experience with the last Sharp, so that's what we bought.
It's been several months now and so far so good. I can't say it is as well-built as our last Sharp micro convection oven, but the convection oven function works and the temperature control is accurate. Where it falls short is actually the microwave side. Our last few microwaves have been easier to use, with single button functions that made more sense. The Sharp also doesn't seem to have as much power, in spite of having the same nominal wattage as some of our previous ovens. Popcorn popping is really problematic. You HAVE to use the elevated rack, and the rack burns through the bags ... unless you also use a plate. It's not convenient and there's more to clean.
This is a large oven. Our microwave sits in a cabinet niche above the countertop and I had to recut the trim to make it fit. As it's deeper than most microwaves, the feet barely make it onto the shelf at the front. The door mechanism doesn't feel very robust, and the door itself is prone to sticking shut unless you make efforts to keep the oven face really, really clean.
All in all, 4 stars. I'd like to see the build quality go up a notch and some of the microwave usage issues addressed before giving it a better rating. It is still the best alternative out there for a micro convection oven, however.

I have used a Sharp Convection Microwave since the late 1980's. Have really enjoyed using it. But it recently quit. So we found this one very similar to the old one, & ordered it. Same size, Just a lot of newer features, etc. So far I am very pleased with it. Mary , California

 Sharp quality going down June 17, 2008
M. Weyant (Dover, DE United States)
My wife and I brought our first Countertop Microwave/Convention back in 1996.The way convention ovens brown,we can't be without ours.The replacement model was the SharpR930AW.Ordered on-line as many local stores do not carry microwave/convention combos.Hard to find.After openning the box,it went all down hill.Plugged it in, light inside unit came on, thought nothing of it, until I touched the top of the unit, it got so hot,had to unplug it. Turntable was running whole time,never shut off.Control panel never worked when buttons pushed. Returned it. What is so unbelieveable about this is the 2nd one we ordered did the same thing.It didn't get as hot on top,buttons didn't work and the door would not close. Sharp spends alot of time in its own set-up manual on door inspection.This unit was also returned.This product should be removed from the market.Worked liked it was assembled in third world. I have zero confidence in Sharp.Custom service was no help-got the GE PEB1950/JE1590 model - worked great first time.
Can't Live Without It June 12, 2008

This Sharp microwave/convention combination is absolutely wonderful. This is the third one we have owned and we couldn't live without it. I searched high and low to find the exact same model we had previously owned and was extremely excited when I found one! We use it daily and even use it when our large oven is in operation (which is also a convection combination). Sharp truly lives up to its reputation. Their products are user-friendly and reliable. Keep up the good work!
