Sharp Microwave Solo, 20 Liter, 800 W Mechanical Dial Control, Silver, R-20CR(S)

The Sharp R-20CR(S) is a 20 liter microwave in silver that keeps things deliberately simple: two mechanical knobs, one for power and one for time. The power dial offers five settings including a defrost position, and the timer knob is turned to start and rings when the cycle ends, so there is nothing to program and nothing to go wrong. At 800 W the microwave output is a step above most compact models, which shortens reheating times noticeably. There is no grill and no convection fan — this is a pure reheat, warm and thaw appliance for daily kitchen work. Inside, a rotating glass turntable and an easy-clean enamel-coated cavity with an interior lamp make loading and cleaning straightforward. The cabinet measures 44.0 cm wide, 33.8 cm deep and 25.6 cm high and weighs 10 kg. Made in China for El Araby Group, Sharp's agent in Egypt, and backed by a 2 year full free warranty, it suits small families, offices and anyone who wants a microwave without a learning curve.
