Sharp R860SLM Combination Flatbed Microwave Oven…

The Sharp R860SLM suits anyone who wants the flexibility of a microwave, grill and convection oven without installing a full-sized combination unit. Its standout feature is the flatbed design: rather than a rotating turntable, the base stays still, so rectangular dishes, large casserole trays and awkward shapes fit properly instead of needing to be squeezed in and rotated by hand. With 900W of microwave power and a 25 litre capacity, it handles everyday reheating and cooking comfortably, while the grill and convection modes add real versatility for browning and crisping food that a standalone microwave can't manage. It typically costs £95.35–£365. Reviewers rate it well, at 4.4 out of 5.

The honest trade-off is capacity: a dedicated combination oven will still out-perform this on larger batch cooking or bigger dishes, so anyone regularly cooking for a big household may find its 25 litres limiting over time. The fairly wide price range also means it's worth comparing listings before buying, since the figure varies noticeably by retailer. For smaller households or anyone wanting one compact appliance that covers microwaving, grilling and light baking, though, it's a genuinely versatile choice.
