These reviews are confusing because they lump together reviews for a range of models.
I bought the basic microwave unit and am v pleased with it. Looks smart and extremely easy to operate. Function seems good with even heating in operation.
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.
Right price for basic microwave. I personally don’t like microwaves I prefer old style ovens, but my daughter loves it.
Always had high opinion of Toshiba brand, we still have a Toshiba TV ,15 or more years old. I think they used to advertise they go on and on and on. Don’t hear much about them now perhaps brand has been bought by someone else. You know where everything tends to be made these days.
Anyway, looks great, good price, good make cross fingers…
I purchased this product in replacement of my 800W Samsung Healthy Steam 23L microwave which unfortunately stopped working.
I was looking for a slightly more powerful one, and I discovered this Toshiba one on offer.
At first I wasn’t sure if the additional features of airfry, broil and bake would be a bit of a gimmick, but I decided to give it a try.
I was really impressed with how sleek the Combi microwave looked in its black and silver finish with a neat and simple display.
It came with 2 metal stands and a cooking tray which I found useful for pizzas, frozen snacks, pastries, battered / breadcrumbed fish, chicken, fries, meatballs etc.
It does take a while to get used to the different settings, and I am still figuring things out.
Unfortunately the instructions are very limiting so it doesn’t give much guidance on food settings.
There is a quick reference guide on the inner edge when you open the microwave door. It lists a few examples with settings to use, so I like to use this as a rough idea.
It would have been nice if there was a booklet included with common foods and various settings required.
It does take some experimentation. I have had a few failed attempts, and over cooked dishes. This Combi cooker is very powerful, so
my advice is to pause the cooking process and keep checking your food.
One of my favourite things is that you don’t need to wait for the device to pre heat like with a oven. It saves a lot of time.
I am very pleased with my purchase and love the multiple features. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new microwave. The additional features are an added bonus and extremely useful when you know how.
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.
Looks good and stylish, nice and quiet, cooks and heats well, easy to use( once you know how) -decent price too..
Few gripes.. The door opens exactly level to the side which is a bit annoying sometime when adding big itemsremoving.
The microwave seems to Get a lot more steamed up than my last one.
The text on the buttons is tiny and hard to read… Fine once you know them but 1st time users would struggle to identify what does what.
Pretty decent overall though…
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.
Haven’t used it much so far. (It arrived 1pm on Tuesday 5th Sept.) And I am still getting used to it. However I’m very pleased with the looks of it. It seems reasonably quiet. It will be used on a regular basis so cleaning seems to be fairly easy and it’s also stable where it’s been placed.
I don’t have one bad thing to talk about it, sorry. Guess that said it all…. ah unless you have tiny kitchen, stay away from it coz it’s like a gia
Love the microwave. It is quiet and easy to use. Love that you can press 1 for 1 min, 2 for 2min, etc. You can also set random time if you like, e.g. 1:45min. My previous one was rather large (25l) and took quite a lot of counter space, but compared to this on the inside there is not much difference, but on the counter is about half the size. It actually cooks faster as well. While previously it took me 3:30min for popcorn, now it’s ready in 2min. The only downside (more of a personal preference) is that you can’t lower or increase the time while it’s already working, but it’s not that big of a deal once you get the hang of it. The microwave is very quiet as well, if there is other noise in the kitchen, sometimes I can’t even tell it’s on. Price was great and even managed to order a second one on sale, which is even better.
In case anyone is wondering (as i wondered) how to activate/deactivate the child lock, press the STOP/Cancel button for about 3 seconds. Couldn’t find it in the instruction manual, so i tinkered. Took off one star because i had to figure it out myself.
It is recommended by the which magazine and all the independent reviewers ,so i just had to buy it.Its large enough to put in both hands when taking out a hot plate its powerful and quick ,jacket [potatoes have never tasted so good. And it`s the right price on Amazo
I’m really pleased with the microwave. It’s so easy to use I’d even go to say it’s the best microwave I’ve ever had..The functions and shortcuts are easy to use even without the instructions, so well pleased with the price the quality and size of the microwave
TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS MICROWAVE AS WELL AS BEING VALUE FOR MONEY AND EASY TO USE THE CAPACITY INSIDE IS GREAT
Good quality product, fairly ease to use once you have read the instructions.
So far so good.
A excellent replacement for my old Kenwood microwave easily programmed once you work it ou
Liked this product the door handle is better than just pressing the button to open and love the 30 second timer as well
A good looking microwave. Has all the functionality I need. Why do some people complain about it being too loud? It’s a microwave, you’d be complaining if you didn’t hear it finishing. Get a life!!
