Beautiful and slick. Works like it should. Arrived promptly. So far had it for almost 2 months and works well
Two dials so easy to use not very big inside but enough space for simple meals. Nice style
Like the ceramic lining in this microwave which makes it easy to clean. Don’t like the controls though … They are not complicated but are not intuitive so you have to think about what you are doing every time. Other than that, pleased with it.

Great microwave – easy to clean easy to use perfect microwave.
Compact neat and stylish,easy to use and good quality
I did get this for about 20 less at the time. No regrets. Its quiet and you can disable the beep beeps at the end of cooking. I use it in my tiny bedroom in an overcrowded 5 man house share. My only moan ot the vent is on the left where my TV is. I would recommend this. I might even get a new one for the main kitchen as gousr microwave is rusty and makes crackles and pops even when not in use.
Nice looking microwave, delivery supper quick.
Read the instructions and familiarise yourself with settings as not straight forward but worth the effort as a very good piece of kitchen kit.
Brilliant small micowave, easy to use. It was good value for money. Bonus arrived day earlier than ecpected.
I bought this microwave because of the price, the 800W and the “A” power rating. Smaller than I was expecting but works well. If you have large plates you want to put in the microwave maybe make sure they’ll fit first.
No complaints, decent microwave so far.

Not too big; just the right size for a limited countertop space. Attractive in black finish but just me. It has various modes, a few of which I’ve already used …e.g. scrambled eggs, which setting I use to make omelettes.
Main thing is that it saves me on my electricity bills where otherwise I’d be firing up the cooker instead at some cost. That’s it really, saves money and cooking time when I need to!
We’ve now has this oven for a few months and are so far very happy with it. It has got enough options to cover most basic needs, from defrost to actual cooking. There is no handle as such, instead a sort of design feature of a lever continuous with the door, which is a big pro as I don’t like button operated doors.
Ceramic coating inside is very easy to clean.
It’s fairly quiet. The display is bright enough to illuminate the kitchen enough that you can get a glass of water at night 🙂
A good buy!
Had to look around for a bit to find a reasonably priced microwave of this Wattage? We thought it was going to be just basic controls from the photographs but it’s that and more if you require it? Good make, good power and good value.
Good option too. Definitely worth looking at?
Very fast heating – heating a specific amount of milk to a specific temperature takes 1:30 compared to 2:00 on my old microwave at the same power setting. A bit small but perfectly usable. Condensation builds up very fast so you have to cover most things while heating. You always have to set the power – it defaults to 100% even if the knob was left at 80%, so you have to move the knob to another setting then to the one you want. So to get 80% if it was left at that, first switch to an adjacent setting eg 50% or 100%; that triggers the power setting to be displayed; then switch to 80%. Also, the quick start button will only use 100%.
But all these foibles are forgiven because you can mute all the beeps. Very handy for late night snacking without disturbing the wife.
It is good easy to use. only complaint is the buttons are so dark hard to see what you are selecting
It works as described, conveniently quickly and efficiently.
Good quality.
I recommend it!
My old microwave went kaput previous night so needed a new one urgently so ordered it and got it next day as promised and very happy with it.
I’m not a fan of lots of small, fiddly buttons, so being able to operate with just two large rotary dials was very appealing. Two minutes with the manual and I could use with confidence. I am also pleased with the build quality. The unit is heavy enough to sit firmly in place when opening and closing the door. No excessive vibration and reasonably quiet. Easy to clean and the finish looks like it should wear well with normal use. Regarding appearance, well it’s a microwave. But as microwaves go it’s smart and unobtrusive. The most important thing of course is how it performs. Everything so far has been perfectly cooked and heated evenly. Very pleased.
Love the microwave so much compared to the previous one I have which have broken down. This one got mute function so I no need to annoy my little one early morning with the conventional beep beep beep sound. Also setting all menu are just as quiet as I needed. Brilliant design for small shoebox home with attached kitchen and bedroom.
just the right size for my small kitchen, easy to use and setup, would a preferred a different colour maybe silver, i’m not a great fan of gloss black. Clocks easy to set and its easy to use, nice bright led inside so you can see what’s going on and one of the main reasons I bought it for the mute function for when i get in from work late and need to heat something up. Just one gripe and the reason I gave it 4 stars not 5, the mute function there’s no visible indicator to let you know whether its on or off.
So far so good bit smaller than i expected but so easy to use and a fair few pre set programme s which is helpful and an simple how to use booklet instead of the down load which can be very difficult if your not tec minded plus looks good
Superb microwave, fast and cooks evenly. Very neat and compact. The black colour looks fab in my kitchen.
Lovely black toshiba microwave that looks fantastic in my kitchen. Very easy to use and the ceramic inside is much better than the rubbish plastic stuff on my old one.
Really nice and perfect look for what we want, easy to use and fast delivery – thanks
Love it but settings can take time in getting used to.
I bought this to replace my old microwave. It looks smart, but my main problem is that the dial marks are very hard to read, almost invisible in fact. Compared to my Sharp oven, it is unnecessarily complicated. Still, it does the job and good value.
Great little oven, reasonable price and does perform exactly as described!!!
Lovely looking
Easy to use
Say no more is its grea
Sadly the first model sent was defective. Supplier informed and a replacement was sent quickly, no quibbles. This replacement works and looks great. Would recommend.
A bit smaller than expected, but very easy to handle and has a vetter performance than the our previous 900w machine. On out previous micorwave I’ve never set the time as it was so complicated, but on this it was so easy that I’ve done without a manual. A special add on that there is a small printing with the explanation of the auto menus that makes it simple to use.
Looks good easy to keep clean!
Love the ceramic inside.
Good to be able to change power level so you can cook some things more slowly. Menu’s are also handy I use it to reheat beans and make scrambled eggs but you have to make sure you select the correct quantity of the food
Very happy with this. Enamel panels make it very easy to clean.
This looks a really sturdy microwave oven. I’ve had several over the years, and chose this because it seems to solve some of the common problems I’ve encountered
(1) you just pull the door to open it, it opens easily and there is no fiddly button mechanism to go wrong
(2) the turntable is recessed at the bottom of the oven, so the glass plate is less likely to shift off the little wheeled gadget and tip your food all over the oven
(3) it has an enamel interior, so the interior surface won’t bubble up and peel away in time
However, the interior light is not exactly bright and so its not easy to see the food when its cooking. Also, the sequence of buttons to push just to get it to heat up something is several steps long – you’ll need the instruction manual the first few times for sure.
But I’m pleased with it overall – more pluses than negatives!
Excellent. Simple to use & to clean.
The option to mute all the beeping noises completely is welcome for those (like me!) who find it irritating rather than helpful.
An easy to use smart efficient unit. A good replacement for my elderly machine.
My old microwave died after 15 years of good service. I use the microwave a lot, for basic things such as cooking fish or vegetables. I like the simple one very much.
A great compact good looking machine that’s easy to use and set up. No silly mirror finish, no useless buttons and has the holy grail of a mute function for the buzzer. That’s a godsend. Best microwave I’ve owned. Enough said.
I like this microwave easy to use, would have given 5stars, but you do get quite a lot of condensation inside
when cooking
Red LED readouts are a bit garish – I switch it off from the mains when not in use. – its basic and has relatively small footprint. Good value.
Good product, nice and easy to use. The microwave keeps a lot of steam in and gathers a lot of water on the inside if not checked and cleaned regularly. Other than that good value for money.
Wanted a small microwave and if thats what you are after, this model is fine. ‘Which’ said it heated up evenly and defrosted well. Yes it does. And there are only 2 dials, one to choose the function, one rotates to give the cooking time. Easy to clean. Smart appearance. Do not buy if you have poor eyesight, the symbols signifying the functions on the dials are very small and difficult to read on the black version.
One you get your head around the codes and differ t options it is a good microwave. Only 800w of power, apparently their are a lot more powerful products on the market. But this suits is well as our first microwave ove
All good however the buttons are black and its tricky to use on the beginning. In high light it’s OK just when it’s darke
Found this item to be easy to use and clean great machine
I’m pleased with this. It looks good quality and it cooks well. It’s also easy to use though I have never tried the auto programs yet. Would recommend.
I like the oven but I would like it even more if the markings on the control panel was brighte
Easy to use. Like the different power settings, looks good & although a decent family size, doesn’t actually take up much room
I wanted a microwave that was easy to clean and use.My previous morphy richards one had rusted through on the inside and i couldnt stand a rice pouch up in it.This one ticks all the boxes,very happy with it and it looks good as well.
This is a super microwave. I ordered it because Which magazine had given it such a good review. So easy to use. You do not need a degree in physics! Simple. Can even mute the beeps if you need to. It looks good and does exactly what it is supposed to do. The user manual is fine and explains what you need to know. The door is easy to open. If I had taken notice of what some people have written on this site I would not have ordered it. It is perfect. It accommodates a 10inch, 25.5cms plate. It is just perfect. So pleased.
Likes:
+++ Turntable memory.
++ Ceramic surface.
+ Pull-open door.
+ Very quiet.
+ Noticeably quicker than my old unit (also 800w).
Dislikes:
– – – Confusing procedure for cooking
(why not use one of the defrost buttons to set the power level if you DON’T want max?)
[Update: You CAN do quick cooking at max power by simply pressing the ‘Start’ button for as many 30 second units as you need. A bit crude, but better than the procedure above.]
– – Buttons too small & impossible to read (Backlight?)
Build quality looks very good, so I suspect I’ll have many years to get used to the bizarre cooking approach.
Unexpected bonus: The turntable plate from my old microwave fits this one, so I have a spare.
Great small microwave. We checked Which reviews to purchase and this is one of their ‘best buys’ and would agree. We just wanted a basic appliance to defrost and reheat and this does a great quick job. Fits our standard plates and Pyrex etc. The mute function is a happy bonus.
Bought for my son to use in his flat. Small but beautifully formed. Purchased on basis of great Which report and attractive price tag
My friend bought this & he keeps going on about it in every way he,s so pleased with it,so if you need a microwave this just might be the one
The Toshiba 800 w 20 L Microwave Oven is a great piece of kit for your kitchen. It’s super easy to set up and cooking food or simply rewarming meals is a doddle due to the 12 cooking presets: you dial rotate the dial to what preset you require, e.g. to reheat a cup of tea, hit start and away you go. For the more adventurous you can dial in the length of time required, hit start and when your food is cooked the oven will ley you. My wife and I particularly like the easy clean coating on the oven’s interior, which makes keeping this device in tip top condition a breeze. We also like the colour of the oven, which looks very classy indeed. Overall I’m very impressed with the Toshiba 800 w 20 L Microwave Oven and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
This microwave is very good for reheating meals, does the job quickly and thoroughly.
It is easy to clean with the enamel interior.
The only slight drawback is that the buttons on the controls are the same colour as the microwave so not easy to see.
Arrived on time. Just what I wanted, compact, looks modern and the instructions are easy to follow.
This microwave is easy to use and looks very nice in black. It is very easy to clean cause the ceramic coating helps massively. This is the perfect microwave if you need one that is easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to understand. Highly recommend.
Very well built product with lots of useful features. Time saving pre-sets soon become second nature.
Smart, simple and easy to clean. Works well. Thought we had a problem but it turned out to be the socket supplying it. Has worked flawlessly ever since.
his is the cheapest microwave I’ve ever used. It’s a bit small (for heating pizza) but what can I say, It’s cheap! and it heats things up! and it saves space!
just put your pizza on a dish and heat up 2 slices at a time haha
Wanted to replace the huge cumbersome thing I had which didn’t look the part in my lovely new kitchen. This has stepped up to the mark, looks good, takes up less space, and does everything I wanted it to
Door will pull microwave forward when opened. (heavy duty door) I used a mat to prevent this, it open’s easy and stays in place. (you will need a mat) Ample room for dinner plate, internal easy clean why i bought this model, not disappointed. Stylish look. Microwave’s food perfect and to the second. Easy to use once you followed instruction, (worth holding onto the manual). Only easy when you know how. My first ever microwave was Toshiba, it was very much like this one, it lasted me 20yrs. I actually gave it away still working and in good order. I hope this one will give the same service, why i trust the name of Toshiba and the internal enamel coating. Arrived on time and well packaged.
I’ve never owned a Toshiba home appliance before so decided to take the plunge and buy this brand of microwave to replace the one that died after 10 years of use. It’s used everyday to steam vegetables in a Sistema Microwave Steamer and it’s easy to clean. Apart from getting used to the red colour to display the time etc, I have no complaints
This is a modern style design 800W microwave and looks nice in our kitchen. It comes with a manual of course. The main advantage of it and the main reason I chose it is the ceramic enamel cavity (anti-bacterial) that’s easy to clean. I was fed up with the rusty and scratched surface in my previous one, which eventually resulted in the generation of sparks. In addition, it is a more economic consumption as it is Energy class A (most microwaves are E). It has a variety of cooking presets (12), more than other models, which I haven’t tried yet. It has the 30 sec button but you can set the microwave time starting from 5 seconds. It’s true that you can’t see very clearly the interior when the microwave is running, but I think it’s mostly due to the door colour shade rather than the interior light. But it’s really not a big issue as you’ll still be able to see the plate inside. If it was flatbed, instead of it having a turntable, I would give it 5 stars. Also be aware of the price fluctuations, one day it can be 80 and the next 50 !
It’s a bit more complicated than my old “clockwork” one! But easy to use once you have read the instructions.
I don’t find the numbers, icons and settings etc easy to read with my slightly failing eyesight. They are grey on a black backgound and thin lettering. I’ve had to put a Tippex dot against the (probably) only two settings I’ll use – defrost and full power. The quick 30 sec button is useful. Will probably use that too. Overall, I’m happy with it.
It also arrived within 48 hours – a day ahead of expected delivery.
Love this microwave, good quality &size as not too bulky, enough for heating up, stylish. Easy to use with loads of functions. Like the fact that sound can be turned off easily
Condensation is unbelievable door need to stay open all the time when not in use & needs dried out after every use
Works very well, looks great, you will not be disappointed. Only downside for me is that the control buttons are difficult to see, black on black, but this is a small gripe and soon overcome with familiarity.
A great piece of kit, simple, effective and powerful.
Wholeheartedly recommend.
Good replacement, I needed a basic microwave to heat up food. I found it easy to set up, have only used the timer not the pre-set menu so cannot comment on that. Looks good quality and is easy to clean. Been using it a few weeks now without any issues.
Choose this one because of the mute function and reviews were pretty good. It’s better than I thought. It’s well made compared to the supermarket budget ones.
Just a little more money spent was worth it. The mute function, child lock is good. Hold the pause button 3 secs to lock. Double tap to mute.
arrived when it was ment to in good condition, it was for my grandma and when I ask anyone about it they say ‘yeah its great’
This is a nice looking microwave, which will take full sized dinner plates. Very quiet to use, cooks thoroughly and easy to use too.
This microwave is amazing. It has a mute function which I searched for ages to find one with. Even opening and closing the door is so quiet. It is easy to use but u do need to read the instructions, once learnt its easy. It looks really nice. It is much better than the morphy richards I bought for the same price. That one now looks and works so cheap in comparison. However….. Be aware…. This Toshiba Microwave comes from abroad. Apparently Toshiba don’t work in UK anymore for microwaves and so when mine turned up without a manual, I couldn’t get anywhere trying to contact them for a new one or even all over the Internet to download one. It was a right palaver. Amazon had to come and collect it and bring me a whole new one just to get me a manual. But amazon did their job well as usual at least. But I do feel a bit worried to a have a microwave from a company who I can’t get hold of.
his is the perfect size for my small kitchen compact but takes a full size dinner plate, it’s quick and easy to use. switch on.. press the left bottom button marked 00 twice to switch of the annoying beep (not obligatory but the reason I chose this model)… turn the bottom knob as many times in multiples of 5 seconds to the required time press bottom right button to start/end I don’t bother with the clock as I turn it off at the plug, if you do turn it on and off the same you need to press the 00 each time to mute it,
the top knob is to change the power/defrost etc read the leaflet one section at a time if it’s new to you, so far so good……….
Compact size would fit anywhere in a kitchen.Controls easy to understand.Best of all it is QUIET!
This order arrived yesterday. Very easy to understand instructions. It was ordered on Friday and delivered yesterday, Sunday. Excellent service Amazon. Added to that the young man who brought it lifted into the house for me – whilst I stood back the required 2 metres. Thank you to him and Amazon.
After reading such positive reviews I decided on this one, it looks great in our kitchen and it’s easy to use.
The feature I like the most is the inside as it’s easy to wipe and all one piece with no seams if you know what I mean. My old microwave had a layer of something that peaked off and it was disgusting to clean, this is sleek and stylish.
Great, easy to use microwave. The main attraction (other than being black to match the rest of my kitchen ware) is the fact that it’s ceramic inside rather than the usual plastic coatings that others have, so on that, I feel this will last much longer than my previous microwaves! Well done Toshiba
I bought this microwave because the reviews were mostly positive and I liked the looks, the price was also very good and Toshiba are a respected name, it is smaller than my previous model( which for me is a good thing,) and slightly less powerful but to be honest I could not tell the difference but this microwave is a lot quieter and is very simple to operate and the turntable always reverting to its original position is a nice touch, I would highly recommend.
Bought as a gift for ageing parents who secretly believe the only way to cook food is to immolate it in fire (or at least copious amounts of high temperature). Easy to use, with minimal programming and only a couple of ‘buttons’, if my Dad can use it, anyone can. The bonus is, it cooks to perfection from defrost to high heat settings and without fuss, noise and mess and is a bargain cost wise. I highly recommend it for all age groups for these benefits alone and now Mum and Dad don’t have to wait hours to cook their weird olde tyme veggies or to warm their Horlicks up!
Easy to use and set up.
Good power level.
Compartment is large enough for a standard dinner plate and cover
Recommended
Excellent microwave as described on site. Works well good interior light excellent value
Its a microwave nothing more. Its as complicated as you want to make it, the led light is a nice touch no bulbs to replace, you may think that being Toshiba its Japanese, wrong its Chinese but its ok. Weird that every microwave that you buy have exactly the same glass turntable and wheel ring regardless of make.
Toshiba w/ Mute function : Bright interior light, beepfree mode, proper handle – all my boxes ticked! Simple in use, just tap the start button (adds 30 seconds per tap). Proper rubber front feet too, I noticed, so no sliding about, bonus!
It’s a nice looking microwave and it does the job, however a few niggles or room for improvement:
It has three metal feet (or protrusions) and a plastic one on the bottom right – not sure why, but it wobbles, with a gap of around 3mm
The buttons are black with white lettering – It would have been better if these were backlit, as it’s difficult to see sometimes.
Apart from that I’m happy, especially with the turntable which returns to the start position, which makes it easier to pick up items with handles.
Received today only.. so review is based on initial use only. Looks very good. Compared to what others have said in review, I found the manual and functional controls easy to understand and very intuitive.. knobs have smooth flow and easy to use.. Added functionality of Timer, mute operations ( to be clear it only mutes the final completion beeps, the normal operating noise of any microwave is still there, but is not very loud).. Looks promising, will update if anything worth updating is encountered in regular usage..
Old microwave gave up at Christmas. Brought the Toshiba m/wave and very happy in all aspect. Saved our Christmas
There are a lot of microwaves on the market and its easy to over analyse the endless options.I only needed a fairly small microwave but did want the rotation feature so in the end i went for the established Toshiba name and haven’t been disappointed.
The controls aren’t clear from the first look and I needed the manual with me for the first two uses but i’m not exactly gifted with technology! I can now use it with confidence and it’s certainly served its purpose.
No problem recommending the Toshiba if it fits in with your needs.
This is the best microwave I have owned in years. It is so very easy to clean with enamel coating. The other thing that was a constant irritation with other models every time you open or close it moved this stays in the same place it is solid. I have also noticed less bits get underneath it. The only negative would be the huge extremely hard to remove sticker on the right hand side. Awful time with that and I feel unnecessary. A side from that I highly recommend this microwave
Really simple to use and it works. Bit unclear whether it is 850 or 800 watts as display only goes up to 800 when changing settings but box said 850.
Settings are really simple but who am I kidding I just press the 30 second button lots of times.
purchased for a third person haven’t heard anything so must be O.K.
It is a good microwave at a reasonable price, although it’s not that wide internally, so struggle to get big plates in and out.
Great product… works well but the only thing is buttons are very hard to see and need a torch to be able to read them… in my case i have just memorised the only buttons i always use but they are pretty invisible
Toshiba is the maker and it says it all. Quality and reliability. Easy to use and fits our purpose-made microwave cabinet in the kitchen suite. Full dinner plate fits nicely inside and low energy friendly. Recommend especially for elderly folks with poor eyesight as it has bright large numbers for cooking times and clock.
I like it. But I think itll take alot of getting used to it,as I only wanted a simple microwave but this is a oven to. I’ve used it a good few times today. I’m happy with it. Only issue I have is how rude the delivery guy was,he just shoved this box into me. And I thought he was quite rude!
Well made and easy to clean.
Does the job well and easy to follow the instructions.
Pros:
-mute function (double press the pause button) stops beeping which is painful to my migraines. I bought this specifically for that.
-quiet when running – you could definitely make a midnight snack without waking anyone up! Other microwaves hurt my migraines but I can cope much better with this.
-instruction manual in the pack
Cons:
-difficult to interpret the symbols on the top control dial – you do have to read the manual to get to know it.
-couldn’t find an online version of the manual in English for this exact model (I could find one in Thai, but I can’t translate it). So don’t lose the manual like I nearly did
