Good Microwave
A good microwave which is also light (not to heavy too carry) Very stylish too, and it came a ta great price. You can microwave almost everything and it it really easy to use. Easy to clean in the inside and outside. Solid dish too. Recommended.
Great little microwave
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.
Exactly as promised
Arrived as promised and well packaged. Very very easy to use. Couldn’t be happier with this cooker. Excellent value.
Toshiba microwave
had to buy this as my old one was not heating the food the the correct temperature. I have used it and what a difference to the food, easy to clean and would buy again thank you

Size
We were looking for a smaller microwave and this one fits the bill. It is not as powerful as the last one we had but it is small, neat and tidy so suitable for the two of us…
Good value basic manual appliance
Replacement for 7 year old (different brand) one.
Noticibly more powerful than old one, though rated same. Same probably applies to me though!
Only possible gripes… Timer dial is a bit stiff and, with unit being in a corner, it’s a little hard to actually read the numbers.
ligh
This oven is spoilt by not having an internal light which comes on as soon as you power up at the socket. It only comes on when you shut the door so it is difficult to adjust the turntable before use.

Easy to use
No fancy buttons just two dials for wattage and time. If you want to set it at 30 seconds you can’t, but that is not why I bought it. Great for reheating and defrosting.

Fantastic Conventional Microwave
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

Smart, good quality and super value microwave ove
Lovely quality, microwave oven with clear instructions. Good value for money. Easy wipe inside for cleaning. Nice grey interior with usual fittings. Fast delivery.
lots of features..
I am very happy with my new microwave. I purchased it to replace my old one that was a lot older with less features on. It. has lots of features that I am enjoying learning to use

Would recommend
Only very tiny issue is the timer knob which you need to put on for approx 30 seconds more as if only wanting 1 minute will find that it stops short. Otherwise good.

Reliable, good choice of heating settings
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..
Like it, great price also
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.
Satisfactory
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.
Good
Very good now I have got used to it! but the knob is bit tricky nothing to grip to turn so hands must b completely dry and non slippery as it’s bit tricky to turn I have got usen to it but it’s not ideal I think it could do with rubber or bit sticking ou
Hard to grasp knobs
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.
Brilliant little microwave.
A small “fairly modern” kitchen, requiring a “small, neat, modern looking microwave”. Fits the bill perfectly. V easy to use, 30 sec & 1, 2, 3, 4…… minute cook with just one button. Best value for money that I could find, for a make. So far = brilliant.
Good, basic microwave.
This is a good, basic microwave. Simple dial controls. The one fault is that the timer dial is a bit stiff, making it difficult to turn with wet or greasy hands.

Excellent Microwave - easy to use.
The Toshiba Microwave is easy to use with a variety of programmes depending on what ever you need. It’s well made and I think it is also great value as well. I am totally satisfied. Thank you. Derek.

Easy to use & clean. Very sturdy. Great value.
Great value and packaging. It’s a good make and you get thorough instructions. The fact that it has so much difference in weight to the fancier broken one makes me think it’s sturdy. It has special paint so it shouldn’t get rusty like the previous one which sparked ,set alight. A great defrosting setting.

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.

This a very good value microwave oven at reasonable price. Plenty of functionality, able to bake three potatoes in one go, and get them cooked perfectly. No need to say any more, do not hesitate, for around 60 it is great value.

Does the job
I looked on Amazon for the lowest price 800 watt microwave. We mostly just use it to reheat drinks and my wife cooks her breakfadt porridge in it. Its simple, reasonably cheap and does what we expect of it.

Suited us when we needed an emergency microwave
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.
Worth the money, very good and nice item.
Excellent microwave. My only gripe is, it doesn’t beep again after a minute, and so much microwaved food has to stand for a minute. Minor gripe though. Very happy with it.

Cheap looking and smelly, but does the job
Works fine, still smelling a little funky after quite a few uses, but does the job. Not sure its quite worth the price though.
Small and easy to use microwave
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.
Excellent microwave
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.
Reasonable Buy
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.
Very Good
Pretty pleased – good value etc but was surprised that I have a bit of a “jiggle” to get a normal size dinner plate in comfortably. It fits in but obnly jus

Steamy!
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.
Since moving into our new house I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to get a microwave so when I saw this for 50 on prime day, I thought why not.
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.
Easy to use and set up.
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.
Excellent Value.
Very easy to set up.
Will take the standard 10″ dining plate.
Excellent Value Amazon deal
Just one point, the lowest time setting is 30 seconds.
You can not just pop the teacup in for 10 seconds to warm up

Very basic, but does the job
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 🙂
It's great but I need a torch
The Microwave is brilliant except I need a torch to see the controls. The button is black with the smallest of white markings. I put it on a worktop but have to read it but torchlight. But other than that its really good for my needs

Great performer .
Excellent performance ..cooks 25% quicker than the old one (same wattage)..light only on during cooking very pleased all round.
Food tastes really fresh .
Small compact Mircowave
Great wee machine but no light in it when you open the door. But it lights when you use it. Plus the black dials are very hard to read as I’m an elderly person.

Poor controls ergonomics.
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.
Love! Love! Love!
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.
Good value
Good value microwave. Purchased for occasional use in summer when Aga off. Simple to use and clean. Marked down as touch controls sometimes need a good push and door mechanism a bit clunky. Otherwise a good microwave for the purpose.

Tobisha microwave
Purchased 15th November 2019. Problems from the start. Sometimes it starts to flash and I have to stop it immediately. I think it would set on fire if I left it. Now I am afraid to use it any more. What do I do about it?

Very quality product and reasonable price
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.
Excellent customer service.
I love that you can cook full power with just one button for 30s, 1m, 2m, 3m, etc. It is small, simple, quiet. Toshiba’s customer services were excellent sorting out a problem, done by email, even during lockdown. Try contacting Currys Customer service at the moment and you’ll be on the phone until Xmas. Then they’ll cut you off.
Quality Product.
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.
Initially we were put off by some rather negative reviews but after looking at the product we decided to give it a chance and we are delighted that we did because this compact microwave oven is absolutely brilliant. It not only looks very stylish but actually works very nicely too. Excellent price for a well known manufacturer.
Good value 20L microwave BUT heavy condensation inside
We don’t have a lot of spare space on our kitchen counter so we wanted a smaller 20L microwave. This one does everything that we need.
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.
A good Basic Microwave Oven - But!!
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.
Wow what a service
Am happy with this microwave only ordered it on Monday 30March and it arrived today Tuesday 31 wow that’s so quick considering that it’s not due till next Saturday very happy thank you Amazo

Good appliance
This is a pretty standard microwave, which appears to be working fine. It gives off a bit of a smell when it’s in operation, which I hope will eventually disappear; otherwise no complaints.

Nice good enough microwave. Easy to use and powerful. I still need to understand some of the features but so far, so good. The clock is 12 hours so don’t be led into thinking it’s faulty (I did). A bit steamy sometimes but it’s ok if you figure out the time.
I like it ok 😋👌.
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 .

Compact design and easy to use
Good value for money – really impressed with the compact size externally and a discreet design (my last microwave was ultra modern but very bulky and actually didn’t hold a bigger size plate, it was just awkward and took up the kitchen worktop) This is stylish, unobtrusive easy to use and wipes clean too.

There is only one problem with this microwave and that is that it has dark colours over a black background making it almost impossible to see the settings, the same applies to the knobs that you set the settings by. These are also black with no markings on whatsoever but in place of a mark is a small cutout on the know again this is impossible to see. I have had to add some white strips of white sticky back tape on both to assist with setting the times etc. Even so this is not ideal as I and my carer still cannot see the numbers only the white strips i have added on the common used times. The image i so online looked more legible and as a retired professional photographer I know why, we use lights in my profession to provide a bright lights on the subject, but in the real world this can give a false impression, as in this case.
Can't see the dials
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
Excellent microwave
I am so pleased with this microwave. It is compact, but takes a dinner plate easily. So easy to use with the quick start too. Excellent quality.
Excellent microwave.
Ordered in the evening and arrived next morning. Switched on, set the time and heated a cup of soup as a test, result, piping hot soup. What more could you want, neat, stylish and works as expected, I’m happy. Plus of course the price is very reasonable.

Great for Dad’s needs, as you can see, he uses it daily! Only drawback is the internal light is quite dim through the door glass.
Like i
I have poor eyesight so have difficulty seeing the marker for the timer but overall it works for us. I didn’t want all bells and whistles as I really only want a machine to cook porridge and reheat meals. It does this at a great price

Good value good quality microwave
Fairly basic microwave, although one-button access to common programs (1 minute, 2 minute, hot drink, etc) is nice. Push buttons are a bit unresponsive – especially if you forget to remove the protective film (cough). Toshiba makes a big fuss about how quiet the fan is (won’t disturb your sleeping baby), but it isn’t that quiet – and the 5 loud beeps to signal the end of cooking time will definitely wake that child.

A great little microwave. Powerful, easy to use and still big enough for a full sized dinner plate. I replaced an old, huge, combination oven with this as I realised I never used the conventional oven aspect. Now it feels like I have a whole extra lump of worktop in my small kitchen. A great buy.
It’s small, very small, neat, attractive and it does the job. I like the versatility of it’s settings very much. Great for cooking my porridge in stages. But having come from a 30yr old microwave which I now realise was huge…. I now wish I’d spent more and got something more substantial, less toy-like and easier to use.
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.
This microwave is very simple to use, shortcuts for frequently used times, just pressing the button and hey ho it works! Fits comfortably in my small kitchen and looks the business.
Had clean lines, not too fussy and clear instructions for use. Have been very pleased with its performance.
QUITE A NICE MICROWAVE OVEN–small but takes a full size dinner plate–the 30 second feature is usefull.
My husband would be lost without a little microwave and the seal on our ancient microwave was extremely suspect, so needed replacing. It needed to be small ish, simple to use and we certainly didn’t need lots of bells and whistles. The price was right on this one, as well, so I ordered it on Amazon and it seems to fit the bill perfectly. It’s easy to clean and doesn’t take up too much room, which is important. Work surfaces are there for doing things on, not to be occupied by gadgets that I rarely use.
This is a great small microwave, easy to use and fits a full size dinner plate easily. So far so good
Great little microwave easy to use plenty of power setting.
I generally use it for reheating, baked potatoes and microwave meals etc
