Sharp R-930 convection microwave oven

Date Published: 1/31/07

There are a few reasons why the Sharp R-930 convection microwave oven never goes out of style. Just two of these reasons are its superior value and outstanding performance. With the increased interest in the highly promoted and expensive speed-cooking units, this once-expensive convection microwave oven becomes an irresistible bargain.

Offering much of the speed and all of the browning of the speed-cooking units, the Sharp R-930 convection unit can save you hundreds of dollars. And while you're saving all that money, you can enjoy browned and beautiful turkeys and roasts and tender baked goods such as breads and cakes.

This amazing performer can be used for all your microwaving needs, much of your baking and best of all for combination settings that mix microwave energy with the heat of convection. The only disadvantage we found was that when we were cooking for a crowd and wanted to microwave something, the oven was already in use baking and roasting other foods. The ideal solution to this was to build this oven into the wall and purchase an additional less expensive microwave oven to use as a supplemental unit. Even by purchasing two microwaves, we saved plenty of money over the speed-cook models, while achieving great results.

A top-of-the-line product, the R-930 offers the best features of any microwave oven. A sensor is used to accurately control all the reheating and automated cooking programs. A 7-digit, two-color interactive display offers programming instructions, cooking hints and a custom help system.

Several built-in kits allow you to install this oven independently or over a variety of standard ovens. Available in stainless steel, black or white, this model works with many design schemes. You can expect to pay a premium for the stainless-steel model

Many variations of the microwave oven have come and gone, but the Sharp R-930 has been Sharp's premier product for a long time and for good reason. It's an outstanding model.


Pros: Does it all -- bakes, browns, microwaves, at an incredible price
Cons: Interior is smaller than standard wall oven
