Cracking little ding
Half size of my old one which lasted 25 years let’s see how the long term survival of this one fairs. It’s a cracking little microwave so far with no complaints other than I prefer a button open mechanism to avoid the noisy door closure
Very happy with my purchase
I bought this microwave to replace my last one which finally broke.
This microwave was a good price, got a discount.
Looks good.
Works as expected.
Instructions easy to follow.
800kw cooks food quickly.
Easy to clean.
12 hour clock though which threw me.
Highly recommended.

Our old microwave packed up and my husband and I were desperately trying to find a replacement. There were so many options around! Do we want a combi, a grill, buttons, knobs? It took us a month to finally make up our mind and we’re so happy we went for this one. We got it half price during Prime Days, which kind of helped! Still, I think we’d buy it again even without the discount. The front is silver, but the sides and top are black, which looks perfect in our kitchen. It’s really capacious and can fit our dinner plates on the turntable. It’s super easy to use and you don’t need a degree to operate it. It’s also really easy to open and when you open the door, the oven doesn’t move. We have had it for about 10 days and cannot fault it.

Good looking microwave
After many years of use my old microwave just stopped working. So this lovely , sleek one has replaced it.
Easy to use, easy to clean I am really pleased with the performance.
Sits nicely on the counter top and matches my oven and hob.
Good quality, very smart!

Microwave Ove
This product was easy to order, it arrived quickly and is doing what I expected of it. The only minor complaint is that at the end of the program it pings five times which I find a little excessive. Other than that I am very pleased with the product and service.

Caught fire
Thought this microwave was brilliant until tonight when it caught fire. Cooking jacket potato and heard a noise, turned around and flames were shooting out from the metal plate on the right hand side. Luckily I managed to switch it off immediately. Only 14 months old and used once or twice a week. I have since seen another review and the same thing happened after 12 months. I’ve sent an email to Toshiba, lets see what they reply.

Easy to use and works well
Bought this as it was a Which? Best Buy. Hasn’t disappointed. Easy to use, works well and cooks much more evenly than our last oven. We’ve had to reduce cooking times on a lot of items for instance reheating a cold mug of coffee took 90s in old oven. Same temperature takes a minute in this one. Looks good as well

Very Well Designed
When our old microwave packed up after eleven years sterling service we had to look around for a replacement. After doing our research we finally plumped for the Toshiba. Most microwaves do what you want them to do but the big feature which made us go for this one was the keyboard. You can key in the time rather than repeatedly pressing a button. An excellent feature are the ‘quick keys’ If you press numbers 1 to 6 before pressing the ‘cook time’ key the microwave will start straight away and run for the set time. This is great for microwave dinners! Very happy and hope it lasts as long as our old one 🙂

Excellent all round cooke
It’s been the best combination cooker I’ve bought for a long time, it’s easy to use & cook’s perfectly! What more would you want !
Very nice versatile and medium sized microwave.
This is a very nice and medium sized microwave. Smart looking all black and easy to change how powerful you need heating between 30% 50% 80% or 100%. Very pleased with this microwave.
Great Value Microwave.
We just wanted a microwave plus a grill. Much more basic than our last one but realistically we never used the the options on that so why pay for functions that we never used. Great microwave so far.

Good kitchen equipme
The colour is black and the instructions written in faint small characters difficult to read. The grill and oven function is slow may be of the power is not high enough.
Good for its price.
Really Pleased
Bought this when old microwave packed up suddenly. Am delighted with my purchase especially as I hadnt done a lot of research. It looks good, has the type of facilites that are used regularly and was a very competitive price. Delivery was also very prompt so I wasn’t without a microwave for long.

Replacement for my mum
My mother’s microwave was making a strange noise, time to change! Seen this as the controls seemed similar to her previous one. Looks good way to use, perfect. Delighted
Most things you need, plenty of powe
Very pleased with this replacement for my broken 15year old Panasonic. While it is lower power rated, it cooks more quickly, and is a LOT quieter than the Panasonic, plus no fan noise afterwards. It just heats and stops and sits there looking smart.
The only obvious thing missing from the preprogrammed options is for fresh vegetables. Frozen is there, and dinner plate for reheating. But then it’s easy enough just to hit a few multiples of the 30second function to make a couple of minutes quick cooking. Great job Toshiba.

Moved in a new house and I needed a microwave for specific jobs.
What you get? A big solid box with a brilliant product inside. Mind the item is quite heavy!
Build quality? Nothing to blame, it weights quite a lot compared to what I know a regular microwave should and this is a great thing in my opinion, this is a static product so you dont have to move it that much.
Is it stable on the kitchen counter? Well, even with 2 hand is hard to move just a bit, so YES, is very stable.
Size? It is a 23L, fits even more than a large plate so I dont worry that the size might be too small.
Power? 800w, does any kind of job a microwave should, so all good.
The menu? Quite advanced, several programs that you can choose from, quick menu to select the time, you can even use it as kitchen timmer(which is briliant). The menu is touch(if your fingers are greasy somehow you will get marks on the buttons), something important to add here, it is touchscreen but in fact it has a plastic cover on top of the buttons and it is more press type than touch, still easy to use.
There is one thing that I dont like, here is a personal preference only. If I have to keep something inside for exactly 17 sec I have to pay attention and count down from 0:30 which is a bit annoying. I still prefer the wheel type of menu to select the time very specific. This is just something I need, doesnt affect the functionality of the produt at all.
Finish? Nice grey at the front, black matte on the sides and back.
Do you get marks on it? Yes, everywhere but at the same time, easy to clean so all good.
Overall experience? Would recommend this product to anyone, also the brand Toshiba never disappoints.

great features
ook my time to research this Toshiba 950 W 25 Litre Microwave Oven. Was not disappointed one bit . build quality outstanding and the features are great . love the way it returns the handle back to the positon you placed it in .
Great Microwave - that's just brilliant!
Now I’ve been using this was a bit I can say it is fantastic. It’s easy to use (I don’t like fully electronic microwaves) with instructions I could understand! I really like the eco option – which is always on. And yes, when you use a cup or jug with a handle the handle is always position so you can just pick it & take it out – that’s right no more having to find & turn the handle! It’s just brilliant.

Small, simple and does the job
Our main priorities were a small footprint, easy but flexible controls, and does the basic jobs we bought it for. After using it every day for the past few weeks, I can say that it has met all our requirements. Add to that it’s very reasonable pricing point, and I have nothing but praise foe this dot of a microwave.
Just one further point regarding some previous comments regarding this unit. You can set ANY cooking time from 1 second upwards.

Works well I think very heavy
When I first tried it the turntable keeps stopping as it was going round and now it works ok ok but makes a slightly strange noise when it starts far from that it’s very good

Downsized to this Toshiba 800 w 23 L Microwave Oven with Digital Display ~ EASY TO USE ~
This is only a microwave so its much smaller than our old micro. oven and grill.
Why downsize?
The old one died and we realised we never used the oven and grill.
So this well reviewed Toshiba was bought.
The build quality is a bit tinnier than the old one, that was four times the price.
The door has a economy car clunk rather than a BMW clunk ~ does it matter ~ NO !!!
Does it work well ~ YES !!!
Good features are
Press start ~ 30 seconds cooking
Keep pressing it goes up in 30 second intervals
Quick cook
Press 1 for I minute
Press 2 for two minutes
Up to six minutes
Warm plates gets them almost hot enough to fry an egg on~ GREAT ~ I hate food served on tepid/cold plates
HAven’tused much else as I don’t need to
I’m VERY PLEASED with the good value Toshiba microwave
Only time will tell if it will last 20 years like the last Toshiba we had.

Love the Microwave
The microwave is easy to use but I haven’t mastered using the other cooking methods is I followed the instructions for combo cooking and it didn’t work. I’m sure it’s me but you can’t really tell what’s working (tried a jacket) reverted to microwave then transfer to oven.

Looks Modern, Great Features & Good Value
Had to replace my 8 year old microwave- decided on Toshiba – like the modern look, especially 30 seconds incremental timer- good for everyday use, well made & nice overall finish
We’ve had a built in microwave for the past 7 years but 2 in that time. They are not reliable so decided to go back to a counter top model but put it in the space where the built in one was. There’s plenty of room for ventilation but, like the previous 2 machines, this one gets lot’s of condensation inside when cooking anything with liquid in it.
It is a great little microwave, though I can only just fit a dinner plate inside so make sure you measure yours before you buy.
It works very well & is very easy/intuitive to use.
I really like it & would recommend i

Just needs a bit of getting used too.
Love the eco mode,little bit tricky initially getting it to go ,but persevered and it does respond most of the time. Overall timing works but must admit use the 30 second button quite often. Generally does a good job,having not used grill yet so that remains to be seen . Happy with this as replacement for older type of microwave. Like the size and power of it.

slow oven heating
Not surprising because it’s cheap, but heating to 190C takes almost 10 minutes.
Controls are a bit fiddly, learning how many times is needed to touch each button to activate functiosn os annoyingly complex.
Black interior is far harder to keep clean than white or stainless, wouldn’t buy black again.

Great controls
Bought this for the simplicity of the controls as can’t be bothered with all the annoying program buttons that never get used. Select power, select time, go. Has a quality feel.
Haven’t used the grill option, it was just there as a bonus.

Performs as expected
I guess microwaves are all pretty similar. The last one I had was British and failed just after the warranty expired and the part needed to fix it was nearly as much as a new microwave. I’m hoping the Toshiba will serve me better. So far I’m happy. It has all the functionaity I need, is big enough to cope with sizeable quantities, looks good and, most important, it works.

Quality is excellent, especially for the price
It looks good. It has a satistmfying door close sound. Loving the 30 second button. Very easy to wipe out after each use. Fits my biggest plates in and plenty of height for covers over the plates too.

It had a dint in the corne
The goods were good but it had been dropped and the box also had a dint. I was disappointed with it because it was 100. I would have sent it back but the person helping me because I live on my own and couldn’t lift it again. I really struggled with unpacking etc. So I probably wouldn’t order anything like that again.
Big and Sexy!
My other microwave of 5 years stopped working so I was forced to get another. Am I glad I found this one. Big and sexy! It holds more than average and makes my traditional oven redundant. Really easy to clean and definitely good value for money.

EFFICIENT AND EXCELLENT VALUE
On opening the box I was pleasantly surprised to see how premium this microwave looks. As for performance, this microwave was to replace an older microwave we had for many years, and the difference in cooking times is truly remarkable; this beast can cook things fast. After using this for around 3 months now, I’ve no complaints. Happy to recommend.

Worth every penny!!!
Have been using this microwave for nearly 2 years and have had no problems whatsoever. Its a genuine Toshiba microwave what more is there to say. It serves its purpose very well

Powerful, quiet, easy to use
Brilliant piece of kit, great value. It is powerful and quick to cook. Nice bright easy to see timer. The finishing beep cuts out as soon as you open the door – nice touch. Like that it stops with the item facing the front, or you can just open the door any time if you prefer. Very quick to set the timer with the rotary button.

Perfect replacement for our old microwave
Had an old microwave (Sharp R-259) that finally died after around 10 years.
We wanted to replace it with something as similar as possible (preferably with next day delivery), so were looking for the following key features:
– 800 Watt microwave
– Touch buttons for the interface- not a twist dial
– A handle on the door that can be pulled open, not a button you have to push in to make the door pop open
– As close to, but no less than 22 litre capacity
– Next day delivery
There are surprisingly few microwaves that meet all these criteria (not just on Amazon, but anywhere- atleast on the day we were looking)
Have used this for just over a month now and its working perfectly. I particularly like that you can just press the ‘start’ button and it will do 30 seconds automatically, and then you can continue pressing it to add 30 seconds each time (even when its in action).
It looks nicer than the old microwave- black and metallic. When its done it beeps loudly 5 times, so its quite hard to miss.
Not much else to say really, it has all the features we were after. I recommend this, but I also suggest you do your own research as your needs may differ from mine. Things like touch buttons or a twist knob come down to personal preference for example.

Great microwave, door is a bit loud
It does what I need and I haven’t had any problems with anything I have heated.
Defrost works well, still starts to cook the food at some points but I think all microwaves do this… If you wanted something defrosted properly you should really be leaving it to defrost at room temperature not zapping it but it’s good for a quick solution.
Looks smart and is easy to use. Door has quite a loud “clunk” when being shut but feels solid, overall pretty happy with i

Great powerful microwave
Such a powerful microwave that is super easy to use and clean.
Has big room for any plate and my husband and I haven’t liked a microwave this much. Last one we had broke down in a few months. We’ve had this for a while and it works as good as new.

Look, the microwave is just fine. Does it’s job and didn’t blow up so that’s good. But it’s almost exactly the same as my 8 year old samsung microwave it’s replacing. Same sounds same everything. It’s not quieter then any other microwave and the door is just as loud as our old one. Beeps long and loud enough to drive me nuts when it’s finished- just like the old one. But I don’t care as long as it works, unlike my old one. So don’t expect something better or new, it’s just a microwave.

Great microwave, but keeps poor time
Very easy to use and keep clean. Love the single touch to heat on full power 1 – 6 minutes. Plenty big enough for a big dinner plate. As a microwave excellent choice. If you rely on the clock though, be aware that this one seems to be rather inaccurate, so you might want to have a normal clock to check when you need to leave for work 🙂

Great microwave.
This is a replacement for my old all singing, all dancing, 1,000 programmes (OK a slight exaggeration) microwave which died on me. This is smaller, basic in comparison, lower wattage but guess what? It does everything I want, it takes no longer to cook/reheat and it’s much much cheaper than a like for like replacement. And takes up less room. What’s not to love? It’s great!
Does what it should.
Does exactly what it says. Functionally very easy to use and works very well. Personally I dont like the colour, I ordered stainless steel but it came in black. The interior is also a gloomy grey and hard to see inside even with the light, I would have preferred a white interior to see cooking more easily.
Excellent quality at a very reasonable price
Being a combination oven it offers far more flexibility than anything I have ever used in the past. It is very easy to clean, and can function as a Microwave a grill or a convection oven or ANY combination of the three that you would wish. I am sure the younger generation will adjust to this far quicker than those of us who are perhaps that much older and less technically minded. On that basis my only real criticism comes about; the machine comes with only the most basic set of instructions, telling you what button to press or nob to turn to what setting for the device to perform one of the many tasks it is capable of doing. What it doesn’t help you with is what the settings should be to cook ANYTHING in any single or combination method apart from One of the pre set options for a pre set range of products of specific weights a fantastic facility but not always the answer. I have invested in a cookery book specifically for this type of machine but it doesn’t seem to offer any of the answers.
Given time I will probably develop enough skills to undertake the tasks I need to with enough flare to make it edible.

Quality machine for the Button Challenged!
I wanted a simple, quality machine that doesn’t have a control panel like mission control at NASA. This fits the bill!! Really easy to use, with a big knob for minutes / seconds and a button marked “Start”! Sorted. I am told that it apparently also has some sophisticated features to please the more digitally adroit members of the household. Whaddya know!

I like the look of my new microwave and the simplicity of operation. The interior looks easy to clean and does not have an annoying lip at the front, as did my last one. Too early to comment on long term performance or durability but at least it feels pretty solid. Two gripes: I discover from the label that it’s made in China — and I’m trying to avoid products from the realm of the CCP; can’t even the Japanese make stuff at a competitive price any more? And whatever possessed Amazon’s operatives to place the delivery label squarely over the unpacking instructions on the box?! Unlike most Amazon labels, it didn’t even peel off easily so I had to guess (wrongly) how to unpack my heavy, unwieldy microwave oven! Thankfully, no harm done.

Brilliant bit of ki
I mainly bought this for the grill feature, as our gas-powered grill in our oven likes to just turn itself off whenever it likes. After years of using simple, “turn a dial and be done with it” microwaves, I have to admit this one, with all its buttons and symbols, takes a bit of getting used to. I’ve got the hang of it now, but my boyfriend still stares at it in confusion, even after having read the manual several times. Bless him.
I’m really happy with this microwave so far. It’s powerful and does exactly as it says on the tin. I used the grill to brown the top of a corned beef hash and it worked perfectly. The microwave setting itself has been fine, too. I especially like that the turntable returns to the position it was in when you put the food inside. The little things make a big difference!
We haven’t used the convection setting yet, but I can’t see us needing to anytime soon, as our regular oven still works fine. Still, it’s good to have a backup!

A good looking microwave with the quality to match, and reasonably priced too
The Toshiba replaced a Panasonic microwave which had cost more than twice the amount about 6 years ago and which had always struggled to cook potatoes in their jackets evenly, much to our frustration. Rather than go to the effort of trying to repair the Panasonic we bought the Toshiba microwave after reading the review by Which?, and at just over 70 it seemed extraordinary value for money. The Toshiba has not disappointed; it has been easy to use and, with the advantage of a turntable, cooks potatoes much more evenly. We also like the design – it has a retro look which fits in with some of our other kitchen appliances.
