The price for one is higher than a Micorwave of the same size, but
comparible to a Convection-only oven. I was advised to buy mine, and
have never been sorry to have done so. It does everything a Micro can
do, and all that a Convection oven can. The best and worst parts?
I live in the desert and Convection "oven-ing" anything is faster and
produces far less room heat than does my non-convection gas oven. But
it's too small for some things I'd like to use it for, and it takes up
more counter space than I'd like in my one butt kitchen where space is
premium. The Microwave is at least as good or better than a micro
only unit can be.
As to size being a small problem, it cannot accomodate the common
cookie sheet, nor can a 9x13" pan/dish fit into it and turn. When
microwaving, non-metal dishes have to be used, but metal is fine
otherwise. I have had mine for over 15 years and only once has it
needed repair when the turntable motor [or whatever] had to be
replaced after ten years of use. Do look into getting one, and any
appliance repair people I've talked to about the Sharp models highly
recommend them over any other.
