Good Microwave.
I liked the large turntable and the higher power than my previous one. It performs well and I have no problems with it. On the other hand the controls seem a little fussy and I would have preferred the outer shell to be silver. I am not a fan of everything being black.
Good little microwave
Works well and is very slightly quieter than my previous Panasonic microwave. I bought it as folk said it was quieter. I tend to just use it to heat drinks and reheat and cook food. The ‘beverage’ button is pretty pointless as far as I can see as you have to press it 3 times for a mug whereupon it proceeds to heat it for 3mins, whereas you can just press the number 3 once and get it to do the same thing !?! Hey ho.
Combi microwave.
Love this microwave its simple to use once you read instructions a few times it’s good for all types of cooking the combi modes are great…not long bought so have been experimenting . Also paid the sale price of 170.00 happy days…

On Offer For Less Than 60 Quid
My elderly parents carers put a meal in their microwave which had a tinfoil base. I can’t grumble since the carers are lovely to my folks but sometimes there’s is a bit of cultural difference as maybe they haven’t experienced a microwave in the past, (bless ’em), so no biggy.
I had to get a new one and this was on offer for less than 60. What’s great about it is it’s simple. No confusing microprocessor and 1001 different settings, it’s the timeless design of a power knob and a timer knob. Mom and Dad had some nice hot meals since Sunday when it came and the carers haven’t managed to blow this one up yet.
Don’t ever be fooled by stainless steel Inside and out microwave ovens.
I don’t usually purchase a Microwave oven that has that grey-painted outer frame.
I had purchased a Stainless Steel Microwave that lasted approx two years and the magnetron decided to fail.
Although I could have repaired it, I decided to go for a basic manual operation oven.
In the long run, a new magnetron would have priced out just by buying a new oven.
Of course, you cannot hear it because of I.D Content playing in the background.
Cooks fast and a brand I have always found their products are durable.
Excellent microwave if anyone is on a budget, It has a 20-litre capacity.
Great as a microwave.
Great as a microwave but the small gripe I have with it is that you can’t control the times when using other modes, and are forced into pre-set times which leaves you no control over the food you are cooking.
Easy to use microwave. White 800 w digital.
This microwave is easy to use. Looks nice and sleek on the worktop.
So far, it cooks food evenly and is easy to clean.
Has a glass plate that sits on the turntable.
Will hold a small/ medium dinner plate.
Stylish and easy to use.
Looks amazing, very pleased with the aesthetics and the interior is super easy to clean. Have not had any issues so far, definitely outperforms our old unit when it comes to preparing popcorn (a common issue with some models). The microwave is extremely intuitive and easy to use with a variety of preprogrammed timer/settings. The countdown timer is also quite futuristic, indicating time frame intervals. In conclusion I’d say it’s a solid contender for this price range.
Good product but…
Well made, works well and had it for three months. Pleased with it’s compact size and appearance. However I don’t like the restricted ability to set variable cooking times for some of the functions. Preset times only. Also the preset times don’t take any account of the weight of the food
Does what it supposed to do.
Bought this for my elderly mum ( 94 ) She had problems reading the screen and hitting the correct buttons on her old microwave.
With the twist dials on the Toshiba it is so much easier for her to use.
leave the heat setting in one position and twist the timer to the desired time wait 2-5 mins depending what’s cooking or re-heating and its job done. 800w cooks faster than the 700w so pleased we opted for the 20l x 800w
Nice size and quite weighty so it won’t slide over the worktop when the door is opened. very quiet in use, Nice finish on the paintwork, good value for money. Will highly recommend.
So the last microwave we’d had for years. I’m not sure we ever really cleaned it properly as it dawned on me it was utterly revolting and beyond saving. So, that went in the bin. Didn’t want to spend a fortune, don’t think you should have to for such a cooking tool
Turns out you don’t. This wasn’t the cheapest but was well down there. It’s so far so good. Heats stuff. On time. So that’s good.
It’s pretty light weight so I got in unpacked and up on a shelf in the garage pretty easily. It seems to work well. Timer is fine, heat level.is fine, and not overly noisy. The light inside with the door shut is dim so you can’t really see what’s going on in there, but it’s pretty obvious it’s getting warm; or hot depending what you chose. I have no complaints so far. You can gwt enough in there so good capacity. I mean who wants to put a whole chiken in there, if you do, don’t bother with this one it’s not that big. It sits nice on the side and ain’t gonna wobble. Makes a sweet ping when it’s done. Yep, so, all in all, good value, works well, looks fine. Decent overall pop de ping.
I use both microwave and baking options on daily basis. I like the display, but have found the instructions poor and machine not very intuitive to use. I have found that it does cook well and fast due to the combination options. It also quieter than our older Sharp microware. Once you know how it is easy to use!
Good quality microwave works as it should too many preprogrammes for me would have preferred a more straightforward basic operation but I’m sure I’ll work it all out
Bit disappointed with the air fryer operation again all preprogrammed I would have preferred to programme as I want but instead you have set times for some basic cooking
You are also missing a cook book which would have explained how to use the microwave and combination programmes
This beside it’s a good quality microwave which could be so much bette
Good value for money
This replaced our previous microwave we had for at least 15 years. It was smaller but the space and power is sufficient. My only disappointment is that you can’t see clearly through the window when in use. Sauces/ liquids could overflow because of this. My previous machine had good vision. Otherwise it’s fine.
A very efficient machine
A very efficient machine, however, the plate positioning is quite difficult to maintain and locate. The knobs are black on black which makes using the timing and power of the machine difficult for someone with slight visual impairment a.k.a me.
Good hea
Love this microwave. I had ordered one before this which was not good but i am very happy with this. Food is very hot which makes me think my last microwave was definately on the way out. Inside is silver not white which is better and hopefully prevents rust, dials are easy to read and plenty of room for a normal sized dinner plate. It also looks very nice, and the inside light is not too bright, it also has a built in/sealed filter on the inside, my last microwave had a paper thing thay kept falling off No complaints!
Its very quick compared with my last 800W
I bought this for the “Quiet” button but have not managed to get it to silence – and work at the same time.
After over cooking a few things I went to check what was the wattage and i could not find it on the machine at all but apparently its an 800 same as my last one.
Other than that its idea size etc you can get a whole dinner plate in it but its not too big overall.
My previous microwave (a different brand costing about the same), had to be replaced after just a couple of years as the plastic coating inside was flaking off leaving exposed rust. I’m pleased to say that this one seems much better made and the door closes with a satisfying clunk; it’s also much quieter than the one it replaced. It’s a fairly standard no frills device that allows per second timing and has a few special settings, although oddly no bread defrost button which I use a lot. I also think that all microwaves should display the power output on the front as it’s easy to forget and a faff to spend longer searching for the manual than it will take to cook the ready meal you have in your hand; the previous one did, this one doesn’t. All-in-all very happy with the purchase for the price.
Great item
Brought before Christmas as realised indid actually need a replacement not everything can be done in the air fryer lol. Really good micro heats very quickly very simple to use no super hard buttons and programes. Only thing I find is you need to leave the door open for bit after use or its gets a lot water build up inside.
Feel obliged to leave a review for I myself had spent good few days searching and comparing, hopefully, could be helpful for someone in a similar situation.
* It is a well made, easy to use, and minimalistically (in a good way) looking microwave.
* The door is glossy but there’s a hidden handle to open it so it doesn’t collect too many fingerprints too soon.
* When working, the internal light is on and you can see through the door. It is not as transparent as some other models, but perfectly fine to see the milk foam before it spills off, for example.
* The child lock is really easy to set on and off.
* Basic microwave functions are very intuitive to find/use. One press of a button switches it on at 800 for 30sec, etc. I didn’t even open the manual to start using it. Other options are also easy to navigate.
* Unlike some other reviews, our has a 24h time format, which is perfect.
* It is quite spacious for a 20l microwave, the interior is bigger than in some other models I was looking at, and compared to our previous one. A standard dinner plate fits in easily.
Yet to see how long it will survive for, but so far so good, really pleased with the purchase.
Good machine but no recipe book or decent cooking instructions, absolute zilch customer service. The oven works very well but the instructions for use have been written by someone who has used the machine regularly and is very basic, and is not very helpful in providing examples of basic recipes and cooking techniques as most ovens do. I had seen it advertised on Youtube with a recipe book included. I contacted customer services to ask for said recipe book and the person at the other end told me there wasn’t one, she was also very unhelpful with regard to using and finding a recipe book. Complained to Toshiba, I spoke to friend in electrical retail whos said, “What do you expect from Toshiba they are extremely poor at comms and custtomer support.” I have kept the oven as it functions very well as a microwave and an air fryer. I am still scouring the internet for a copy of the missing cookbook or something that will help me use it to i’s full potential. Last time I buy anything from Toshiba!
Simple and Efficient Microwave
This is a simple and efficient microwave oven with no electronic buttons just a timer dial and a power dial. As it is grey inside the cooking light is quite dim. This isn’t an issue for me as I don’t watch the dish going round and round! It is compact and fits nicely onto my counter top.
Not made in Japan anymore but still Toshiba impo
I was a little surprised how cheap international version of this Toshiba digital microwave oven was. For the price, it was good enough for basic use. Probably, it has been designed in Japan and assembled in their factory in China for low cost mass production. Although, the coating on steel looked very basic and it does not look like long-lasting rust-proof stainless steel, so it may get rusty if moisture stayed inside, which means it is better to use cling wrap or cover with minimum steam escape, then better to wipe clean with dry tea towel after use to prevent the rust. I personally would like a 24 hour clock setting if possible, because their 12 hour clock does not show it is AM or PM during the dark British winter morning or evening. That’s possibly the sun rises in the same specific time all over the year in some countries like Japan.
Only been using this new one for a few days but so far I am impressed. Very quick & easy to set precise power & timing, which with my old Sharp one was often frustrating. It was some 20yrs old, had served me very well but the buttons for selecting power / time etc were no longer 100% & the digital display was no longer easy to see so inevitably over Christmas I had a little mishap over heating a Christmas pudding creating a real mess. This one is much easier to clean inside too, I’ve found any small spillage doesn’t stick to the surface like my old one. The fan is also a LOT quieter, the old one sounded like a small propeller aeroplane humming & vibrating.
Our previous microwave (a Sanyo) had a failed bulb that had no access to replace it and was starting to get rusty, so having read positive reviews of the Toshiba we bought one. After almost a year I see the good points and the niggles. The good points are that it cooks and reheats evenly, the door opens and closes easily and the instant full power for various minutes are a real asset. The niggles are that the defrost function has ‘by time’ or ‘by weight’ options, but nothing in the manual explains how to choose the time for anything, so only the weight is usable. Our Sanyo used to do part of the defrost, then pause for 2 minutes for temperatures to equalise then go again to finish the defrosting. The Toshiba does it in one go, and dense foods like joints of meat need longer that the weight decides. I add 10% to the actual weight for a proper defrost without starting to cook. The turntable rotates jerkily rather than smoothly, and it is too easy to dislodge from the drive and is fiddly to put back. The clock doesn’t keep exactly to time and gradually gets fast so I had to reset it about every 6 weeks. The time functions are not consistent: If I Time Cook, I put in (say) 415 and it assumes a leading zero and I get 4 minutes and 15 seconds; If I use the Kitchen Timer function and put in 415 it assumes a zero on the end and I get 41 minutes and 50 seconds. That took a bit of getting used to. None of the niggles would put me off buying one again, but I can’t give it 5 stars.
This is a small, effective microwave with minimal controls – just two knobs: one for power settings, and the other for timing. It has no frills, no readout, and not even the usual digital clock! It does its job and the results are as good as the old, more complex microwave I had to throw out and which it replaces. The timer is wholly analogue and setting is from the dial only. It is approximate but adequate. It counts down and ‘pings’ when finished. If you open the door, it stops BUT doesn’t reset and the most infuriating aspect is that it starts up again when you later shut the door and then you need manually to return it to zero. The secondary irritation is the smoothness of the knobs. They is hard to grip unless hands are completely dry. So in summary, a good little microwave. Ideal for student or small household. Good value but very basic and with manual features most other models replaced with digital buttons long ago. For these reasons only 4 stars.
Easy clean microwave
The main reason I got this one is because of the enamel easy clean surface. The ones that are painted inside will eventually start to blister, rust and peel off. This one looks like it will last a long time. Lots of settings on it but I just use 30sec increment timer for everything and just keep pressing till I get the time I want.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great microwave - looks good and is easy to use
Still delighted with it after more than a year of use. It is really easy to use, ceramic interior seems robust and it looks good. It is very handy to just press start button for 30s increments (press 4 times for 2 mins etc). Would buy again.
Works well enough, turntable feels flimsy.
I find the controls really easy to use, overall the build quality for the price feels okay. The reason it doesn’t get five stars for what it is, is that the turntable inside feels flimsy compared to previous models, but I suppose it’s good for the price. I myself have eyesight trouble. I am blind, and I think people who are also blind and maybe have dexterity issues which struggle to put it back compare to say a larger, slightly more well built model. It does have a lovely, simple interface, and it does the job.
This microwave is small , compact and stylish and does a good job microwaving . I purchased the rotary dial version and the only problem is the dial is incredibly slippy and very difficult to grip. If you have any strength problems with your grip/hands , I would recommend you buy the digital version as you will have great difficulty with the rotary dial versio
Bought this for my mum, she is not good with technology, says its just more to go wrong, she might be right. SO easy to use, just select the power then the time with two rotatory knobs, no bleeping buttons to get confused with. Sturdy construction and easy to clean.
Very pleased with microwave, have been using it a couple of months now no problems.
I like the turntable always returning to the start position, great on containers with handles.
My only gripe is the small size of the button identification text, once you get to know the buttons your ok.
After my microwave giving up (good make) after 3 years I decided to go for a cheaper one. This is really good, quick and handy pre-programmes, I like one touch button you press to automatically add 30 seconds plus to time and use this mostly. Coated steel inside is great, easy to clean and looks great. Light is slightly dim and buttons are hard to see but with regular use I’ll be able to use it with my eyes closed. Overall pleased with purchase.
4.0 out of 5 stars The Proper one
Delivery bang on. Just the right one for me, no faff, easy to use, simple instructions. WHATS NOT TO LIKE! Why would Amazon think I want a new microwave when they just delivered one?
