The unit has many different cooking functions. The drawer was a worry for me, but it is flawless. It doesn't quite do microwaving as well as other units. It is a good balance of functions.
I really like my microwave being a drawer because it adds to the overall modern look of my kitchen. It also helps in keeping my kitchen appear cleaner by being below the counter in a drawer. The functionality and options available on my microwave are very impressive. I have a number of cooking options to choose from. I am very happy with my new microwave.
My first sharp was in the 80's and we wore it out, 15 years later when we remodeled the kitchen it was stil going strong...I bought a house and they had one from the same vintage, still going strong. When I decided to remodel this kitchen, there was only one option to make if fit the kitchen, drawer, my sister has one, so I decided to do the same set up, Sharp. No way would I have gone this route if it wasn't a Sharp, no way!
Although every microwave in America regardless of npmanufacturer is made by Sharp, this one was unique as it was a convection oven. As an architect who spec these appliance and installed it my own kitchen, the convection oven temperature barely gets to 300 degrees. The microwave doesn’t have a rotating table so it doesn’t heat food evenly and quickly. Did Sharp engineers ever test this? I highly recommend NT purchasing this unless Sharp comes up with a much higher wattage unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The only function on this microwave drawer that works is the microwave. The air fryer and convection features do not even heat the food.

I bought this oven in Aug 2024. The display is very dim and I called the service center to open a claim. Then, when the repair person come and they said they left because they can't find a parking in my neighborhood. Then, I called and the service center found me another company. I was told that they ordered part and they had not received it. I was patient and waited to the call. Then, a month and so, I called Sharp to find out the status of my claim. Then, they said that the claim is closed because they could not get a response from me. They did not follow though till the repair confirm the service is complete and replaced. Then, I tried to open a clam with extended warranty I bought. I was told to call these companies from Sharp service center. These companies do not have my info about the extended warranty. It has been a week and I still can't have a claim open to fix my dim display.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
