Some customer reviews of Sharp AX1100

stickyb, peterborough Love to cook

Score 4.0/10

Good points:: decent capacity and easy to clean
Bad points:: very slow to steam anything. Needs to have greater output from the small steam vents to speed things up.
Very disappointed that the steam feature is so poor as this is supposed to be the USP. If it did what its supposed to do it would be a great addition to any kitchen. Sadly its not.

Pamela, Colchester Full time working lady

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Large interior with strong glass plate and two shelf heights, everything cooks much quicker than my old cheap one, good value for money. Exterior looks good as well.
Only had it a couple of weeks but use it every day, very pleased so far.

David, Newtownards Retired

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Easy to clean particularly after grilling, glass tray is great.
Very quick with a rating of 900 watts.
No door handle to break as with my last oven which was also a Sharp I might add, handle came off three times and despite using superglue it just would not stay on hence the new purchase. Old Sharp still in use in a student flat..
Bad points:: None as yet and I hope there will not be any, Sharp have always been a good buy for me.

Product Features

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Main heating type	Steam
Conventional ovens heat from the bottom so the top of the oven will be slightly hotter than the bottom. This is useful when you’re cooking lots of different dishes at a time. However, they do take a little longer than fan ovens to heat up. Convection (or fan) ovens circulate the air so that you get an even temperature throughout the oven. They are quicker to heat up which means they save on energy and time. Multifunction (convection or conventional) ovens give you the flexibility to use different methods of cooking. They usually have both fan and conventional settings as well as pizza settings that will only cook from the bottom, giving you a crispy pizza, or top-only cooking that is very useful for browning.
Grill function	Yes
The grill function is useful for browning and crisping up food.
Power (W)	900

Volume (Litres)	27

Height in cm	33.1
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Width in cm	52

Number of power settings	5
Different power settings allow you to cook different types of food with different degrees of power. For example, using a lower power for defrosting and a higher power to re-heat. The more power settings you have, the more flexible you can be with your cooking.
Weight sensor	No
The machine will automatically calculate the weight of the food which will help with the Auto cook function.
Type of door	Push button

Cavity material	Stainless Steel
Turntable	No
Most microwave ovens include a turntable which rotates when the food is cooking. This ensures an even temperature throughout the food.
Humidity sensor	No
This automatically detects food moisture and automatically adjusts the power levels and cooking time.
Infrared sensor	No
Release date	2010-12-15
