At a glance
The Sharp 20L 750W Microwave White is a compact benchtop microwave designed for everyday reheating, defrosting and simple cooking. It suits singles, couples, students and smaller households that want easy controls and helpful auto menus. Its key strengths are straightforward operation, a practical 20L capacity and a space-friendly footprint. The main limitation is its modest 750W output, which can mean slower heating than higher-powered models.

Key benefits
- 20L Capacity: practical size for everyday leftovers, snacks and standard meal plates without taking up excessive bench space.
- 750W Power Output: suitable for daily reheating and defrosting while keeping operation simple for routine kitchen use.
- 11 Power Levels: gives you better control for gentle defrosting, softening ingredients and heating different food types more appropriately.
- Touch Controls: easy to use and quick to wipe down, helping everyday operation feel straightforward.
- Auto Cook Menus: takes some guesswork out of heating common dishes, making it convenient for busy users.
- Defrost Function: helps thaw meats, bread and other frozen items safely and conveniently before cooking.

Q: Will a standard dinner plate fit inside this 20L microwave?
A: Yes, a standard dinner plate should fit in the Sharp R211DW, helped by its 225mm turntable. It is better suited to everyday plates and bowls than oversized platters or large casserole dishes.
Q: Is 750W enough for reheating leftovers and frozen single meals?
A: Yes. Sharp R211DW suits leftovers, snacks and many frozen single meals, but its 750W output means heating can take longer than on higher-powered microwaves. Stirring or standing time can help food heat more evenly.
Q: Does this microwave work for cooking, or mainly reheating and defrosting?
A: It can do simple microwave cooking as well as reheating and defrosting, especially with the auto menus and multiple power levels. Sharp R211DW is not a combi microwave, so it does not bake, grill or brown food like an oven.
Q: How well does the defrost setting handle meat and bread?
A: The defrost function is suited to meat, bread and other everyday frozen items, and the 11 power levels allow gentler thawing than full-power heating. Thicker pieces may still need turning or separating during defrosting.
Q: Are the auto cook menus useful or better to set manually?
A: The auto cook menus are useful for common dishes when you want a quick starting point. Manual power selection gives better control for mixed meals, large portions or anything that tends to overheat at the edges.
Q: Can this compact microwave handle large family-size portions?
A: No. Sharp R211DW is a better match for singles, couples and simple everyday heating than large family-size portions. Its 20L cavity is practical for plates, bowls and smaller containers, not bulk cooking.
