This is a beast of a microwave, it's HUGE inside (but also outside - check your workspaces for room). But it's also really well specced and it cooks a mean 2kg Roast Chicken in 57 minutes to perfection.
I bought one in 2011, and it rocked right through until today. So I'm buying another one at a cheaper price than I paid back then. There is nothing on the market to beat it at this price, if you've got the space.
Manufacturer blurb follows:
Sharp combination microwave oven offers you a multitude of different cooking options, cleverly combining the benefits of microwave, grill and convection oven. You can bake, roast or grill just as you would with a conventional oven, only faster. With upto 40 litre capacity, it's certainly large enough to cater for any occasion. The Sharp R959SLMAA microwave oven allows you to cook on both shelves simultaneously. The reason for this is the conventional cooking function works in the same way as a standard convection oven. The results are that the Sharp R959SLMAA is perfect for those who like to bake in batches. As the Sharp microwave oven features a quartz grill it ensures that the food heats up fast, is easy to clean and safe to use and leaves more space in the cavity for cooking and ultimately gives fantastic grilling results. Enjoy a host of further advanced features including express cook and express defrost plus a double grill function that's perfect for crisp pizzas straight from frozen.

i have one of these.... its worth every penny of the £250 i paid for over 6 years ago... still going strong.
The Hotpoint is 33l v 40l and 1000w v 950w, any other thoughts.

Blimey, I thought mine was big at 32L - fantastic price. Can't comment on Sharp but I found the cheaper Panasonic models were awful quality and reliability-wise - and used the halogen element for grill and oven, so it wasn't a "real" convection oven.
Hopefully the cheap price doesn't mean they scrimp on certain features.

I paid £194 for it this Thursday :disappointed: can't send it back as I've disposed of the box.

Go on Live Chat and ask them to refund the difference. Or order again and then send this new one back under the first order :smiley:
