 broke after 7 months July 4, 2010
deedee
I purchased this microwave 7 months ago and after barely using it , the thing doesn't heat anymore. I just contacted Sanyo, but after seeing other reviews I have my doubts I will get anything resolved. This is my first time ever rating a product,because I'm that mad. Someone better stand by their one year parts and warranty.
 START BUTTON FELL OFF! May 30, 2010
Julie Smith
This machine is horrible! We haven't even had a year and the start button fell off, called Sanyo and they were of no help. Stay away from purchasing anything from them! SO unhappy with this purchase!
 worth the gamble March 15, 2010

The microwave isn't as powerful as I'd like but it gets the job done. It just takes a little more time. The convection feature was ready in ten minutes and works great. I read the negative reviews about people getting lemon ovens and leaving them at a repair shop forever, but I decided it was a great price and worth the gamble. It sounds louder at lower power settings, and the turntable makes a racket sometimes, both of which are mentioned in the handbook and are no cause for concern.

We have owned our Sanyo Microwave Oven with convection and grill for almost two months, and have attempted to test all functions in order to write a complete review. We rely heavily on reviews to help us decide what to buy, so we did our best to evaluate this oven. At almost $180.00 it is not a trivial purchase.
The design is sleek, and the controls easy to use -- but as other reviewers cautioned, keep the booklet handy!
The microwave functions -- cook, auto menu cooking (limited to microwave), auto reheat all work as well as our last microwave -- a G/E over the range.
However, the conbined functions -- micro plus grill, convection plus grill, leave much to be desired.
The roast chicken function -- a combination of micro and grilling is neat and works well -- but does not save time, although it probably saves energy and kitchen heat compared to cooking chicken in a standard oven. When the chicken was taste-tested our family concluded that it was pretty good chicken and assumed that the time to cook was materially reduced -- which it was not. It was agreed that in a "time-bind" they would eat this chicken, but preferred standard oven baked. Given that the chicken took about ten minutes longer than it would have in the oven, the saving was a hot kitchen in the summer, and probably many BTUs.
Combo 1(Micro and Convection) works well -- but it is not fast! Nor are there timing guides. (More on this later)
We have not used Combo 2 (Microwave and Grill) for anything but hot dogs. Too slow by half! Steak is a treat for us, so we cook it with much ceremony outside -- but my experience with grilling hot dogs fo lunch caused me to turn on the broiler in our "real"stove to finish them.
Combo 4 (grill and convection) is rather a joke. Today, in anticipation of putting our review on paper, I took two defrosted quarter pound hamburgs and put them on the grill rack. Dialed in 20 minutes on Combo 4 and walked away. At 20 minutes, the hamburgs registered about 100 degrees F. internal -- as in not cooked. I added another 5 minutes and temped them and got to 120 degrees. Another 6 minutes got them to an edible internal temperature of 140. Thirty minutes to "grill?" two hamburgers?
The convection function alone works well for small quantities of food. But, it is important to note that this is not a convection oven -- in other words an oven that cooks more rapidly than a "standard" oven.
So, what is this neat little oven good for? As a micro it's great. In the same space as a micro you can heat dinner rolls on convection when your main oven is tied up, or bake appetizers while the roast is roasting in the main oven.
What's missing? A recipe book would have helped. The first time I cooked hamburgs using Combo 4 I figured they would cook faster than the time to heat my T-Fal Compact Multi-Grill (rather a waste for two burgers!) and I was dead wrong! (The reason for today's test.) If there had been a booklet or time sheet that indicated 30 minutes to cook two thawed burgers -- well T-Fal would have had the whole job rather than finishing it up!
For people who live in dorm rooms (I was once one of those!) who want all the functions of an oven and a micro in one box -- I would have been glad to have this Sanyo. But -- a recipe book that might indicate time to cook various things -- would really help.
Are we glad we bought this oven? Well, yes. But, and this is important, it is not a Micro/Convection Oven -- nor does it claim to be one.
This oven is a great microwave -- we are very happy with the micro functions. It is also a nice "auxilliary" oven for entertaining -- as long as you can work out the times. It probably saves energy over heating up our main gas oven for small things and will likely keep heat out of our kitchen in the summer.

I read all the reviews on this page and blindly clicked that "buy now" button without putting too much thought into it, and I had to come back here and warn you guys. This is a COMPLETE waist of money. I can only assume the other 5 star reviews are fake and written by the manufacturer / stores because this thing BARELY functions as any of the mentioned utilities.
THE MICROWAVE
This is the less defective feature on this device. The microwave works ok, but with the most confusing, unintuitive controls ever (just look at the picture of the controls and see if you can figure it out). The microwave work, but I didn't find a way to change it's power settings, and accessing all the preset programs is a pain every time you do it.
THE OVEN
This is the WORST part of this device, and you can clearly see that this is not a functioning oven simply because THERE IS NO TEMPERATURE CONTROL. What kind of oven doesn't have temperature control? And after 2 months in use, the grill bars are rusty and whenever I try to use them they smoke up the entire room
PLEASE do yourselves a favor and get a separate toaster oven / microwave. I made the mistake of combining them and now I'm paying for it :(
