This Countertop Microwave Ovens give to us some advantages, like this :
1. save time, money and space
I have to say, this is a great product!
As a microwave it works fine, What I liked best was the convection feature.
I would rather manual time my food to my liking instead of using the preset compucook features.

My advise is to follow your normal cooking times for items you cook often in a regular oven, just reduce the temperature by 25 degrees.

example:
If you like chicken breast that are frozen(no need to thaw)
Place them in a Pyrex dish add seasoning of your choice..garlic, oregano, onions, etc.
a little olive oil or oil of choice.

chose the convection button, then press 1 for preheating oven. normal cook temperature would be 375 degrees for 40-45 min. Just set temp. at 350

The oven will preheat( be patient)takes about 3 min. the oven will beep when ready. (if you forget don't worry it will stop on it's own if you do not respond within 20 min or so.)
Place frozen chicken in along with seasoning...

2. Short Life
It is pretty sad that the life span of the Sharp product line has so eroded. I bought a Sharp R-820BW in August/2008. After only 18 months the microwave has stopped working. The Sharp R-820BW was purchased to replace a Sharp Carousel bought in 1983 which lasted 25 years! Now I must decide if I want to pay over $100.00 for servicing or buy a new unit - so much for GREEN. It seems like appliances are being built NOT to last, as if they are disposable and purposely constructed to require replacement inside of 2 years. If you don't mind replacing the R-820BW by the time you get used to using all the great features, go for it. The roasting and baking features did meet expectations. If the unit had even lasted a full 2 years I would give it 5 stars. However, considering the short life I can only rate it 3.

Need more appointment... ?
A crap shoot of a product
If you decide to purchase this particular unit, be forewarned that you may be either very pleased or disgusted. I read reviews from buyers who absolutely loved the unit and used it constantly. I also read reviews from buyers who stated they received units that didn't work correctly right out of the box, and others whose units failed after a short time. Mine is the latter ... Used approximately 4 times and then ... Nothing ... Totally dead. In my opinion, I think the manufacturer is attempting to put too many eggs in one basket -- trying to make one small unit do everything, and ending up with a unit that does nothing. Too bad, as I thought this product would be perfect for a very small kitchen space.
