YC-GC52BU-B 25 Litre 900W Digital Combination Microwave Oven with 1200W Grill, 11 power levels, ECO Mode, defrost function, LED cavity light - Black

Out of the box, the Sharp YC-GC52BU-B looks sleek and modern without taking over your kitchen. It fits nicely on the counter and has a clean, easy-to-read digital display, no tech degree required to use it. At 900 watts, it heats food faster than your average microwave and does so quietly... no loud, annoying noises here. What sets this apart is the combination cooking feature, letting you microwave, grill, and use convection heat all in one. It’s perfect for crisping up pizza crusts or roasting veggies, like a mini oven without the long preheat time. Plus, with auto-cook settings, it can handle everything from soup to jacket potatoes. With 25 liters of space, it’s big enough for most meals but doesn’t take up too much room. It’s ideal for everyday tasks like reheating, defrosting, and cooking. In short, the Sharp YC-GC52BU-B is a versatile, reliable microwave that also works as a grill and convection oven. If you want something that does more without cluttering your kitchen, this one’s a winner.

After my old Combination Oven gave up the ghost I wanted try one without the hassle of a turntable and boy, what a revelation! A million times better than the fiddle of a turntable, so much so that I’d never go back to having one again. Love the shiny black oven base that nothing sticks to and love the grill which works really well. I can’t imagine why other reviewers say the grill isn’t very good as I think it’s fantastic (maybe they’ve improved it as mine is a slightly later model). The only drawbacks are that the buttons are difficult to see, but maybe that’s because my kitchen isn’t very well lit, and the convection oven doesn’t seem to quite reach the temperature it is programmed to. I have to go up 10 or so degrees to compensate but that’s no hardship. Overall I’m very pleased with this Combination Oven and would recommend it to everyone.

Love this, exactly what i wanted, flatbed with option to use as an oven if ever I need to. Great looking and a good price

This is a lovely little machine... But there's a big but! Very competitive price, for the full works of flatbed microwave, proper fan convection oven, and grill. And the flatbed really is so much better than any turntable! Controls are pretty simple and efficient, though ila little hard to see, and it would be nice to be able to turn off the child lock function. Here's the but: convection temperature is consistently 20-40deg below what it's supposed to be! I've had four of these now, over a long enough period to eliminate the bad batch problem, and they've all been the same. When preheating, it stops at 20-30deg below target, though this reduces slightly after a minute. When running at supposedly 230, it barely tops 200 at any time, and set at 180 it even drops below 150. Granted you can make allowances by always setting a higher temperature than needed, but it never gets properly hot! Shame, because it's otherwise really nice.

I am in love with this microwave. So far, I have used the convection function as well as the microwave function. It is a powerful appliance and heats up food evenly. The convection function is great and I used it to make lasagna (which came out delicious). There is no rotating glass plate and the inside is stainless steel which makes it so much easier to clean in less time. Just be careful after using grill or convection settings, if you want to use the microwave immediately after. It is best to wait for the appliance to cool down after using grill/convection, if you want to use the microwave function next. In terms of size, it is a bit bigger than I expected but it fits perfectly on the kitchen top as my husband compared the size of the microwave with the kitchen table before buying. Overall, it is an awesome purchase and would definitely recommend if you want a versatile microwave.

Sadly, dispatched without instructions, but I managed to find a manual on the web as it is totally NOT intuative for anything but start/30sec. As it doesn't spin, which is kind of nice, defrost is rubbish as, unless you keep moving the food around manually every couple of minutes, bits cook and the rest frozen. Also, not as good at popcorn as the spinning one I used to have - slower and burns some bits unless, again, you do a lot of manual moving the corn around. My old 900W did pop corn a lot faster than this 1kw machine does, too. However, it heats liquids up ok!

The best microwave ever.

As the title says, it's useable. Maybe I'll update this with pictures and or videos but for now; Things you will hate; Pressing start, starts a 30 second microwave but when it's already running, pressing start again or any button, will NOT add an extra 30 seconds to the clock. Leaving the door open to air out: The light will stay On. It will never turn off while plugged in with the door open. The display is brighter than the sun and there is no dim option that I can find. The best part is the Mute, you can turn off the bleeper permanently but you can't turn off the safety lock that auto sets after 15-30 seconds. You have to open or close the door to unlock. There maybe a way to unlock the display with holding a button but open and close is faster. I live alone, I do not need the display to lock! The window in the door; Rarely can I see through it! It's small and low down on the door so you will never see the top of anything inside. The extra bright display can be turned off, BUT only manually each time. I have not found a way for it to auto turn off each time after use. If the auto lock display can never be turned off, why is this not linked to the display turning off... Considering it does no rotate food; I thought it would still cover most of the area inside but the grill heaters at the top only cover a little over halfway, so only half of your pizza etc will get crispy on the top. I have also found parts where even the microwave doesn't seem to cook. Because of all this, you end up rotating the food more often yourself. So far it all works though. It is smaller than I thought and I will not buy this again.
