Works like a dream.
This model is 20l in volume, which is a little smaller than the machine it replaced after 20+ years faithful service. Absolutely basic machine but still accomodates a 10″ diameter plate which was a must. 800watts of power which seems to be more than the previous machine I had and heats food more quickly as it should.
Only one minor criticsm,the timer dials are round shiny plastic and they are often difficult to grip if my fingers are not perfectly dry,A grooved dial would be much better.
Very well made and simple to use.
A good addition too any Kitchen.

I preferred to have a push-button opening rather than an obvious handle but it’s a bit stiffer than my previous one. My 700watt COOKWORKS had a stylish integrated handle which I now realize was very useful when opening and closing the door. I almost just re-bought that one as it had lasted for years, was very sci-fi in design, was silver, and was a few pounds cheaper but this one is 800watts and a little smaller on my countertop and slightly roomier inside.
I am disappointed that the control panel is black on black. It doesn’t light up so it’s difficult to read the different touch screen settings. I loved the panel on my old one which had easy-to-read oval touch screen choices on a light grey background. I’ve no idea who thought of this design!! It looks sleek but isn’t very practical. But it has all the necessary quick-start settings etc so that’s fine. I’ll just memorize where they all are on the panel.
It does smell VERY BAD and smokes a bit at first (as they describe in their manual) but I find that it’s taking a few weeks for that to completely dissipate! It hasn’t tainted my food or affected the taste of my re-heated cups of tea any though. It just makes my kitchen smell.
I think it’s worth the money and I DIDN’T want a “retro” look or a black one so I’m pleased even though it’s possibly a little dated. (Ironically)

Purchased this because I wanted a smaller oven and it does the job. Only gripe is that I suffer from Ostearthritis in both my hands and the timer knob is quite hard to turn to the setting. Otherwise a good purchase for occasional use.

Great item and superb value for money. The only thing I found a little annoying about it is that that the control button markings are difficult to see if it’s placed in a dull place or in a generally dull room (like our kitchen). I have to switch on the kitchen light on dull days to be able to see the button markings clearly. Otherwise a really good quality product and I am very pleased with it.

Great little microwave, it’s no frills it’s just a basic microwave that is compact enough to fit in the smallest of kitchens. Heats food properly, it won’t fit a dinner plate inside or not mine anyway so maybe some makes?
We wanted a digital microwave rather than one that just had dials to make it easier for us to use. We didn’t expect to get one for the price the Toshiba one was, so it was a bit of a surprise how good the functionality was.
It suits our usage perfectly and performs well, all in all an excellent purchase.
After a few hours of stress trying to work out how it works , we finally sorted it out . The clock was particularly awkward. I can now understand why people still buy the dial timer type . That said it was a good product to buy.
Very nice microwave. Would have given it 5 stars for ease of use but there is no handle pull it open, you need to press the door to bounce it open. Gave it 4 stars for easy to clean but it’s new and I won’t be cleaning it for some time, however, there is no internal light when you open it, until you are cooking. Good value microwave.
So far only used it a couple of times. The digital set up is all very logical and simple to use, even the clock. slightly smaller than the microwave/grill it replaced but will still hold a normal dinner plate. Quite a handy kitchen gadge
Unfortunately over Christmas the microwave ordered was delivered to an incorrect address. This was verified by the tracking system. I contacted customer service at Amazon and they supplied my fiancee with a duplicate microwave the following day. Fabulous customer service and she is delighted with the Toshiba microwave. Simple to operate, good value for money and does everything that a microwave should do.
Nice tidy little microwave and mostly pleased. However it was described as taking “standard dinner plates”. It doesn’t. Mine are 27cm which catch or won’t go round and all family/friends plates are same size. Possibly thinking of purchasing others if I can find 25cm online! Bit disappointed.
It also produces much more condensation/water than my previous one and, has to be thoroughly dried out every time used even for short reheating. The water condensation can drip off the door when opened.
I am considering changing it.
Wanted a microwave that was simple without all the bells whistles and flutes that some manufacturers feel the need to stick on the front of their machines. This is a simple no nonsense bit of kit. Power and timer. Excellent.
Burnt out first two popcorn bags but got there in the end. It isn’t that wide but it fits our dinner plates fine and other bits like cold cups of coffee or tea.
It’s so easy to pop the turn plate back on if it misaligned..like pop your eyes on and look properly Lol “Should have gone to Specsavers”
We’ve used this microwave for over two months now and not a problem
This is a very good value piece of kitchen kit. It’s small, simple to use and looks very neat, almost stylish. If I wanted to do fancy things in it I would buy something else and if I wanted to cook the Christmas turkey in it (what a terrible thought) I’d buy something bigger. I mainly use it to cook bits of fish for my cats and occasionally to cook a baked potato and maybe once a year or less heat up a ready meal and it does the trick perfectly well. I would say that if you know you’re likely to need a microwave that is highly accurate ie needing to cook or heat something for, say 4 minutes and 21 and a half seconds, you’d be taking a risk as the clock timer thing does not allow the kind of nanosecond accuracy you might prefer. But then it’s great fun waiting for it to ding to see if you judged it correctly. If not, you have the extra delight of popping your delicious supper or fish for the cats back into the micro for another few seconds or minutes and then the joy of either finding it is cooked to perfection or, conversely, totally pommes frites! But yes, I’d buy it again if I had to, though I expect it will see me out!
While this microwave is not quite as solely made as the one it has replaced (perhaps this is how more modern ones are, like many appliances seeming a little flimsy?), we are very pleased with its performance. The cavity is not quite as big as we expected, but just does what we need to do now that we have sourced a different splatter guard. It has a really useful set of short cuts, and seems to cook food very well. It is compact, neat and smart. It had a very good Which? review too! You do need to be quite positive with the touchpad to register the numbers, but at least this makes errors less likely.
Our kitchen is small with low overhead space and this fits in perfectly. It is small and therefore you have to be careful what type of container you put in it (my old microwavable ‘saucepans’ won’t turn unless you are spot on with where they stand, so I tend to use ones without handles. A small price to pay for the efficiency the microwave gives me. Our Panasonic we previously had rusted internally within a couple of years.
This Microwave Oven is great, the minute markings are very clear as is the defrost markings, makes life much easier, it cooks quick, looks lovely inside, light comes on when cooking. Very pleased with it, quick delivery and was well packed to avoid damage. Well worth the money, can defrost quickly, as in my case I always forget so no need to worry. I would certainly recommend, looks great and cooks really quick. Am well pleased with it. I would certainly recommend.
Yes, it’s a microwave, but not really in the 21st century. It has a dial that you turn and guess if you got the right number of minutes (unless I’ve got my glasses on), and no light inside so you don’t know what’s going on either. Pretty basic. Cheap enough, but next time I’ll see one in the flesh and pay a bit more for a better model. And it Pings!
Fits nicely on work surface out of the way in the corner. White makes it look clean and smart. I only use it to heat up food (bowl of soup 3 minutes and it’s very hot), warm milk in a mug (mug of milk to boiling ready for coffee etc takes 2 minutes) , cook vegetables, scramble egg (2 eggs at 1.5 minutes) etc and it works a treat. Very fast and efficient. Can set in minutes and individual seconds or simply go with the pre set minutes at the simple press of a button or two (I’ve never had this run for more than 4 minutes). Easy to clean. Gives a sound to say cooking complete. Very good price too.I guess if you have a large family then this oven would be too small for you.
We just wanted something very basic to mainly warm plates and packet rice, so for the price this is ok, but doesn’t have the option to set so many seconds on the timer. Anything less than a minute you have to guess, which is very irritating and quite hard to guage, given the short space the dial turns for a minute. Think if I’d realised before we unpacked it I would have sent it back. Aside from that it’s decent, though just fits a10.5 inch dinner plate.
Got rid of expensive, unreliable , complicated, touch button Hotpoint microwave.
Great relief to buy simple to operate Toshiba microwave with easy to use timer and heat settings switch, Plus sensible push button to open microwave door. Keeping with Toshiba microwaves from now on.
This is not much more than half the size of my last microwave but it’s capacity is nearly the same, 20 liters v 23 liters. That’s a very impressive use of space. It was also remarkably cheap for a top flight brand.
This is a well made little microwave with simple controls which are easy to use. It is ideal for us as we mainly use it for reheating or defrosting. I can fit a normal size dinner plate inside so it is big enough. It arrived a day after ordering and was well packaged and delivered safely. It came at a very reasonable price.
After 28 years of faithful service with a Sharp microwave it finally gave up…. So we had to find another pretty quickly matching size and performance… This Toshiba fit the bill.
Once set up I found it real easy to operate… Reading the book helped, albeit being broken English.. We use our mic for the usual.. Warming plates, drinks that have gone cold and defrosting…I must say,the defrosting was brilliant and was perfect… Inside was a snug fit for a full size plate but it did the job. Also inside was was easy to clean. It looks really nice on the worktop, and the price was great for what it does.. Recommend.. Cheers.
Great Microwave for 20 litres and cooking levels are greater compared to our 10 Yr old Panasonic which incidentally has the same rear and inside but more programmes than 10 yrs ago, Well made and if anything to go by a reliable design for a conventional microwave ove
I think the only that I notices was the timer knob seems a bit stiff to turn, otherwise all fine – good choice of heating controls and easy to adapt to whatever temperature items need. Sometimes the glass plate needs checkingthat it is secure when washed and put back in the oven which is common to all microwaves I have had..
Have been using this now for approximately 6 weeks, user friendly, right size for us, the white has not turned colour as of yet, so why 4 stars and not 5, well about every 8-9 days the clock gains 2 minutes which if your like me you have to keep correcting. Recommended.
It’s a white, not too big, none digital appliance, which is what we wanted. The one thing that does annoy us is the glass plate inside. It’s easily dislodged. Seems the runner is too light. Plus some of the larger dinner plates don’t fit in. However everything else works fine and we are happy with it. The price was right slso.
Cheap and cheerful. Definitely not the most good looking microwave. But I bought it primarily for its microwaves, not it’s charming looks. The knobs are quite tight and they are hard to grasp and turn sometimes, especially if your hands are even slightly wet for any reason. Who would have thought. Really, the design of the knobs is not very smart. I thought it was a long solved problem in microwave ovens but looks like the designer had to “reimagine it’s solution”. Well they didn’t do a very good job there. Other than that, it’s good. It microwaves stuff.
Our microwave exploded the evening before, so ordered this. Not disappointed, lovely little microwave to have in the kitchen, can’t complain!
Very easy to use and clean, and for the price was great value for money.
You can buy cheaper but this mid price range cooker seems well made and should be as a Toshiba product. We needed a microwave in a great hurry and the combination of this one and Prime next day delivery saved our celebration dinner. I suppose the mark of its appeal is that now we no longer need it, we have held on to it rather than just sell in on ebay to get rid of it!
Love it.
Was apprehensive as being old wondered if I would be able to understand the workings.
Easy to order. Speedy delivery. Easy to wipe out/clean. So efficient and looks smart as well in my kitchen.
Able to cook/bake larger items too.
This is a second microwave for the kitchen as we generally find one oven isn’t enough. The device is small and compact, very simple to use with just a power selector and rotary timer button. I would have no hesitation in recommending this product.
This microwave is the perfect size for a small household. It fits nicely in the kitchen and doesn’t take up too much space. Sturdily made, it has easy to use programmes for drinks and snacks. Excellent delivery service from Amazon.
It looks good with the black numeric keypad as a continuation of the black door, although the keypad panel is actually glued on. The keys are easy to use, and the unit is ridiculously easy to set up. It has a revolving plate in the oven, which is quite firmly placed in position, although it’s easy to remove for cleaning. In use, it’s a bit noisy. I would have thought modern microwaves would have overcome the noise problem, but not this one. It’s not deafening, but it’s far from quiet. It cooks everything very well, which is after all the main feature. The revolving plate ensures the food is cooked all through. All in all, it’s quite a good unit which I don’t regret buying.
Toshiba 800 w 20 L Microwave Oven
I’ve cooked with microwave ovens since 1973, both in pub kitchens and at home .
This is the steamiest model I’ve ever worked with.
I find the controls easy, the results as they should be: but oh my the steam!
Steam positively GUSHES from the vent in the left side of the casing and runs down the inside of the cooking chamber to puddle on-&-below the turntable.
I can cope with that: I wipe my microwaves with kitchen tissue after every use anyway.
But it really isn’t suitable for a family where several members use it and only one of them cleans it, because you’ll end up with puddles in-&-around it. And please site it thoughtfully, not where the steam from the left-side vent will scald someone passing by it.
The microwave is nice and compact for a 20l microwave and it has no trouble fitting a standard sized dinner plate. The compact size was especially important as our kitchen is quite small so we needed to minimise space usage.
I’ve been using it for while now to cook a variety of dishes and it’s been working really well so far. From jacket potatoes to melt in the middle puddings it handles all with ease.
The white design is quite neutral and fits in well with the rest of the kitchen. The only thing that lets this microwave down is the feet. Because they’re not rubber it means that if you have this flat against a wall and you press the door open button the whole microwave slides around. If it wasn’t for that I would have given this 5 stars. Thankfully we have microwave in the corner so we don’t have this issue but it’s something to be aware of.

Simple easy to use appliance and the turntable/glass plate seem to be standard size. I bought this to replace one dropped on the floor (!*%) & wanted it quickly. The only drawback for me is that I can’t get it registered with Toshiba in case of faults or recalls. It’s a Which best buy so I am happy so far.
Got this for my mum when hers died. She wanted a simple one with a couple of knobs on it, and knowing Tosh as being a fairly sound brand, talked her into getting this one.
I previously wrote that the internal light didn’t work because mum was continually complaining about it – I just used it today, and actually it does, so I’ve edited this – I can see what she means though, it’s not the brightest of lights, but then it is a microwave after all 🙂
This microwave is great! Easy to use, have the quick 1-6 minutes cook function which means even the not so intelligent can use it so simply!! Only kidding it’s really easy to use. You press no.1 for 1 minute quick cook and its that simple. Perfect.
This is a replacement for a quite old 20L microwave and the first impression: the litre might have shrunk over the years because this 20L oven is definitely smaller than the 20L it replaces! It has very basic controls which is a plus in my book but because the knobs have shrunk as well it’s definitely more fiddly to operate than the old one. So I would rate the ergonomics of the controls as very poor. I’ve been using it for over three months now and I have no other complaints.
Very quality machine, it heat food quickly.this is the type of microwave every kitchen needs and it also must have. I bet you would not regret buying this. The only problem I had with them is the delivery driver misplaced it but they replaced it immediately I reported it to them.their customer team are fantastic. I will buy from them again their product are very good.
Powerful 800w microwave that does everything you need it to. Compact in design and fits snuggly into the corner of my kitchen without taking up excess space. If purchased and you decide to set the clock to know what time it is, the clock is 12hr not 24hr, you think they would state that in the manual but, err no… Other than that tiny little issue, more than happy with my purchase.
Some of the features that I like include:
* It displays the time whenever the microwave is not in use. Not all microwaves have the time on them – as some go into energy-saving modes. However, I really wanted to be able to see the time on a microwave.
* It only requires one button press to operate the microwave at full power for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 minutes. Just press that number key and the microwave comes on at 100% power.
* It also has three programmable buttons. For example, if you regularly cook something for 5 minutes 30 seconds at 50% power, that is about 10 key presses. But you can save up to three programmes in the memory. Just hit the ‘memory’ button (also the zero) and then either 1, 2 or 3 to start your programme.
HOWEVER, the main issue we have with the microwave is that there is a lot of condensation that builds up inside – far more than our previous microwave. It drips off the back and puddles inside. It either needs the door open (which then activates the interior light) for 10 minutes after use or wiping up with a cloth.
Also, it is only an 800W microwave though; if you need a more powerful microwave or you wish to have a grill, then this Toshiba microwave is NOT for you.
Overall we’re reasonably happy with this microwave. It does what we need, looks smart and was good value.

HOWEVER, the main issue we have with the microwave is that there is a lot of condensation that builds up inside – far more than our previous microwave. It drips off the back and puddles inside. It either needs the door open (which then activates the interior light) for 10 minutes after use or wiping up with a cloth.
Also, it is only an 800W microwave though; if you need a more powerful microwave or you wish to have a grill, then this Toshiba microwave is NOT for you.
Overall we’re reasonably happy with this microwave. It does what we need, looks smart and was good value.
We recently decided to re-place our Kitchen Microwave Oven, and settled on this Toshiba Microwave as it looked
nice, and was a reasonable price. However, although we have only had it for a matter of a few days, we can already see that the ‘Glass Plate’ that is the most important part of the user ability, does not seem to fit the appropriate base turntable fixture very well!! It seems as if the Glass Plate is either the wrong one for this particular oven, or it is not the original one that was designed for it, and so when we come to use the oven for a jug (for milk), or a single item, it tends to ‘Wobble’ on its base. This of course, has somewhat taken the ‘Shine’ off what is otherwise a nice Microwave.
Hi it’s me again Ms S Birchenall . I am fairly happy with this microwave oven but the timer on it is very small which could be a problem for some people but play again it is really very nice a great microwave so I give then 10 out off 10 . Yours faithfully Ms S Birchenall .
The dials are black with just a ridge to line up with the setting numbers.. I’ve had to paint on the ridge and even then I can’t see to use it unless very bright lighting is directly on i
For starters, there’s a 2 x 4inch panel that holds 24 rectangular switches under a shiny surface without a pip in sight, so you have to be precise in where you press and then make sure you press quite hard. For anyone old and a bit decrepit with failing eyesight like me, ie who can’t read the switch labels without their reading glasses, this is always something of a faff.
Next comes the The Opening. This microwave doesn’t have a handle with which to open the door. Oh no. This is achieved by ramming an arthritic thumb deep into it’s interior and then a bit deeper still until the door suddenly springs open with a vengeance and then bounces back again off it’s hinges, so be very careful if in your other hand you’re holding anything liquid ready to ‘just pop into’ the microwave. If the opening press-button was in the left hand corner things would be so much easier and less of a 2 handed faff every time you go to microwave something. Which brings me to the closing of the door and what was originally my pet peeve. You can’t close the door quietly however carefully you try. There is an almighty thwack and clang every time that belies it’s small size. So forget any secret late night microwaving because you’ll wake the household. After some prodding and poking I discovered that the front switch panel on mine wasn’t secured at the base to the main body of the unit, and after tightening this up by ramming a sliver of debit card into the gap, and sticking a couple of Sticky Fixer pads to the inside corners of the door, the door now shuts with less of a rattly clang and more of a satisfying, albeit loud, thud.
Something else that made me tut and which I haven’t seen anyone else mention is the mains lead. It’s black. On this little pure white microwave that goes well with my other white kitchen appliances and my white paintwork and white power sockets on the worktop wall they’ve put a great big thick black cable and plug! Madness if you ask me.
I’m still giving it 5 stars though. But next time I’ll get one with a door handle.
