Sharp SMC0985KS Air Fry Convection Microwave review

The Sharp SMC0985KS ranks sixth and is the budget way into combination cooking. For $169.99 on Sharp's US store, it combines microwave, oven and air fryer functions in a compact 0.9 cu. ft., 900 watt cabinet, which Sharp pitches as a way to save counter space. Its multi-stage cooking chains up to 3 functions in one program, so you can defrost, cook and crisp a piece of chicken without restarting. A dishwasher-safe air fry basket and a baking and roasting pan come in the box, and the stainless steel interior sits on a 10.6 inch glass Carousel turntable. Preset buttons, Auto Defrost, a +30 key and a white LED display cover everyday microwave use. The trade-offs are power and size: 900 watts is slower than the 1100 and 1200 watt models here, the cavity is small for roasting, and Sharp does not list an inverter. The Breville Combi Wave is the step up. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.
