Making the choice
A compact TV
At 32 inches, HD looks crisp from a normal seat. At 40 inches, Full HD earns its place. Sharp's compact sets are smart TVs with streaming apps and an aerial tuner for live channels, and white versions, where offered, sit nicely in a light room or kitchen. A compact set is also easy to put on a wall bracket, freeing up a worktop or chest of drawers.
Soundbar channels
A 2.0 bar plays stereo from one slim unit, a big improvement on the small speakers inside most TVs. A 2.0.2 bar adds two drivers that fire upwards, creating Dolby Atmos height effects. There's no separate subwoofer with either. Most connect with one cable: HDMI ARC lets the TV remote control the volume, while an optical lead suits TVs without ARC.
Radio and hi-fi
Across most of the UK, DAB+ gives more stations and clearer reception than FM, and DAB+ radios pick up ordinary DAB stations too. A micro system pairs a compact main unit with separate speakers. Whether it plays CDs, USB sticks or Bluetooth varies, so see the product page.
Records
An automatic turntable lowers the arm onto the record and lifts it at the end. Bluetooth lets it send music to wireless headphones or speakers; otherwise, choose the bundle that includes bookshelf speakers so everything arrives together.
Solo or combination microwave?
Solo models handle reheating, defrosting and simple cooking. Step up to a combination model and you gain a grill and fan oven for browning, and Sharp's has an air fry setting that crisps food with very little oil. Around 20 litres suits one or two people; 25 litres and up takes bigger dishes. Other makes of combination oven are worth comparing.
Before you buy
- Measure the worktop. Allow the ventilation gaps around a microwave that its instructions give.
- Check your TV's sockets. A soundbar connects through HDMI ARC or an optical socket.
- Check DAB coverage. Use a coverage checker for your postcode before buying a radio.
- Plan the TV position. In a kitchen, keep the screen away from steam and heat, and check there's an aerial point and Wi-Fi signal where it will go.

Sharp: your questions answered
Are Sharp TVs smart?
Yes. They have streaming apps built in, plus a tuner for live channels through your aerial.
What does 2.0.2 mean on a soundbar?
The first figure is the main channels (two), the second the subwoofer (none), and the third the upward-firing height channels for Dolby Atmos (two).
DAB or DAB+?
DAB+ is the newer standard. Its more efficient coding fits more stations in and improves reception, and DAB+ radios still receive ordinary DAB.
What does a combination microwave add?
A grill and fan oven, so food can brown and crisp. Sharp's combination model has an air fry setting as well.
Does the turntable need speakers?
Yes, or Bluetooth headphones. Pair it with Bluetooth speakers, or buy the bundle with matching bookshelf speakers.
Which TV size suits a kitchen?
Usually 32 inches, where HD looks sharp at close range. A 40-inch Full HD set suits a bigger kitchen or bedroom.
