... It would have been so nice

Since 2006 I took a Sharp microwave with grill top and bottom and hot air. Specifically: I used at that time three units of a model, because I had to change it twice - after a few days and a few months later. But it was used every day and not a little, and I was pleased with the performance.
Now the quartz grill blew up, I did not want to wait for a repair and the same purchase replacement with a larger cooking space. I chose the model R982STWE with (at that time) two five-star rating on Amazon.

A nice device, if you had unpacked it and looked at it, and a truly impressive oven. Apple strudel finally had the chance to cook ungegnickt.
Well, a little thinner material than before, a really very short connection cable - Note: It is just saved. Even when cooking grate - instead of the usual two (earlier even three!) Only one - but to turn smartly, so low, so high. Unfortunately, he restricts the usable diameter of the turntable from 34 to 26 cm in 42-liter cooking space - after this distance he stretches namely three short and three long legs upward. Give eight centimeters, in practice even ten? Out with it, and the old grates taken ... Grill just up - so no conventional oven, which I had almost found - to accept and red light instead of quartz grill, which I already knew from the description and had it up. And a "manual" in two booklets and 29 languages, the "Important Warnings" of the legal department (s) with many repetitions and 12 pages small print Instructions consisted of 10 large printed pages without instructional recipe examples as before? Well, one has now experience ...

So on the test run!

First, the microwave: heating of frozen chili con carne - properly, short and sweet, as usual.

Then hot air, control of cooking temperatures (empty grate with a tested laboratory thermometer): frightening result - adjusted reaches 230 °, by 4'30 "indicator and signal" "but only thermometer shows 170 ° After a further 5 'at 230. ° setting 183 ° on the thermometer, three minutes later and 185 ° 30 '(!) 190 °. It remained, higher it was no longer.
I had expected deviations, because in my experience the temperatures are always embellished on the device settings. But those differences were too blatant to me.

Hot air, practical test: Frozen Wagner-thin-crust pizza directly on the low rack, setting 230 °, no microwave switching. After 20 '- cheese begins to melt (with my current unit Sharp R-898 AA, I had the same attitude now be careful that the cheese is not too brown!), To 30 ° - melt cheese, but still bright after 35 'hardly anything changed!

Then I took the pizza out, put it on the high rack and turned to "Grill" (solo). 17 'so grilled showed a hint of discoloration. Who had three minutes later weiterverfärbt only marginally. The red light grill was indeed hot, but dark as before switching on, no approach by annealing.

I stopped, took out the pizza. She was not even cooked through in the middle!

It did not help - I had to make it clear to me that this equipment was not working and I had to return it. But that model had me so much and one with double grill I found after a long search not unnerving (Note: Spare power and You help sustainably) that I ordered it again. Since Amazon's camps were empty and 2 - 3 months Delivery time queuing at Amazon Marketplace.

The rest is quickly told:

The new device was today, was unpacked, installed, connected, turned on and shows this kind with "88:88" (yes, quite right, not with "00:00") to. That was it. Nothing was more.
And I slowly realized what that means: pack again, again advancing, new looking again and order, new drag and unpack, try - for me, built in 1931, the pure joy. And then the tensions, whereas this time the ball rolls ...

If final inspection has become a foreign word, such as correction in the newspaper? Not interested invoiced Committee more quality, but only the ratio sold committee?

Anyway, more than one point (what actually?) I can not forgive. And Sharp is no longer comes into the house to me.
