Happy custome
I bought this for its A+ energy rating and I’m so glad I did. It’s very smart to look at and, whilst I haven’t used all the settings (popcorn, pizza, beverage) the standard cook and defrost buttons have been easy to use. I recommend!
This review is based on 3 month’s usage, so I can’t predict how long it will last. However, so far – this is the best I have used. I had to buy 4 microwave ovens in the past 10 years (including well known big brands). This Toshiba model is not expensive and works so well from day 1 without any fuss that I cannot recommend highly enough. The quick start buttons are very useful. The front door is NOT opaque and everything else is perfect. The only negative thing is – at the end of the cycle, the microwave will beep 5 times loud, no matter which button you press 🙂 But that’s not a major problem for me, so I still give 5 star without any hesitation.
Caution: Don’t drag the oven from its standing position as its legs may become dislodged/damaged. If you want to move, you need to lift it.

Fab microwave
Really easy to use. Much quieter than my previous one (different make). The front panel is so easy to use and I am very happy with this Toshiba. I would definitely recommend it.

Good microwave, frustrating to get stickers off howeve
Microwave is fine and works as intended. Dropped a star because of these stickers they used, these could have been easy peel stickers but clearly this wasn’t thought out. Tried using rubbing alcohol to get the remainder of the sticker off but still no luck. One of these also on the top of the microwave. Very frustrating but doesn’t impact the use of the product, just looks a bit rubbish.
Nice Sized Counter-top Microwave
I replaced a Panasonic microwave that failed shortly after its warranty expired.
Toshiba is a very well known quality brand and it was a little larger inside than my Panasonic.
Looks good and performs well so very pleased with its purchase and super-fast delivery from Amazon.

So far, looking good.
Next day delivery, plugged in and started using. Checked all the buttons on the keypad and all working then tried using, heated soup, perfect, cooked a potato, again perfect. Ok it’s still early in use but so far the microwave is functioning perfectly. If anything changes I will update my review

It suits our needs very well.
My primary focus on purchasing a new microwave was it should have better controlling of start and stop buttons, better control on timings, and this one ticked all the boxes.
Good buy
Lower power than I normally go for but so pleased I bought this microwave. It’s easy to use and is so much quicker than my old microwave and bigger inside. Really good choice.

Read instructions carefully not 24hr clock
Took a bit of time to find out how to set up clock as it’s not 24hr .like the dinner plate option worked well
Easy to use.
I am an elderly widower living alone and wanted a replacement Microwave that was easy to use. This is what I got. I give it 4 stars rather than 5 only because it is rather smaller than I would have preferred, making it difficult to cook more than one dish at a time.
Easy to use
This spacious microwave is easy to set up and easy to use. This replaced a different make that purported to be 800w but was more like 700w or less. This IS 800w. Easy to clean as well. Recommended.

So easy to use. Jacket potato even has a one touch button, no setting of time or temperature. Looks good. easy to keep clean, highly recommend.
Excellent Microwave
Good value for money and easy to use:)
One tiny downside, because the top and sides are black, the front appears way way darker than the advertised pictures, but it doesn’t bother me.
As far as budget microwave ovens go, this is not too bad. It’s a nice design and it heats your food as it should. However, the outer casing is made of such flimsy metal, mine arrived bashed. You can actually feel the metal flexing if you touch the top of it. It’s just the way things are nowadays with cheap Asian products — cutting corners whenever possible.
You essentially “get what you pay for” i.e. it’s cheap, but not the greatest quality. It wasn’t worth the hassle of returning it due to the casing being bashed, and it does actually work, so I guess I will say it is “recommended”.
EDIT: Having had the microwave for a few months now, another annoying thing is, the clock loses about a minute a week. Does Toshiba not actually test these things?
Excellent product!

Works well. Had it a couple of weeks and no problems. Easy to use.
Microwave
What can I say really..easy to use…..nice quality…
The microwave works perfectly, but when it was delivered the spring inside the rubber legs of two of them were broken, so that they fell off when moving it for cleaning. There was a card included with the literature asking to let them know if there was anything wrong. I used the email address they gave and asked for two replacement feet. They replied by asking for photographs of the feet, inside, outside and back of the microwave, plus photos of the serial number, my purchase and delivery notes, everything except my shoe size and colour of eyes! Their reply was that they couldn’t supply them, but they could replace the microwave after I had returned this one. To return it and them send me a new one (which I told them I didn’t want) would cost ??? to post me a set of new feet – pennies. This is why I have given Toshiba customer service no stars.

Toshiba Microwave
Great product. Smart and easy to use. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very pleased with the purchase.
Highly recommend
This is a fantastic microwave. Good quality and good value with multiple power options and (unlike my previous microwave) easy to set the clock and re-set it (we have a lot of power cuts).
Highly recommended.

Great microwave and great delivery
Great value for money for an excellent microwave which is easy to use and was delivered by a very helpful member of staff who was aware of my delivery instructions and followed them very well. I’ve been using Amazon for years and will continue to do so as you offer great items at great prices and delivery.

No body should hesitate in buying this microwave. I think that’s one the top in the market for me. Work very good. No noise when using that. Recommended..
Easy to use
Easy to use, big enough to take my ancient oven proof dishes. Great purchase.
Excellent microwave for anyone wanting a simple, straightforward machine with good looks but without complicated frills. The only downside for me are the push-button controls which require a very hard push but which I suppose are good for stopping accidental operation by children.
Brilliant Microwave Oven!
Bought this microwave (after looking at quite a few and reading lots of reviews) to replace existing one.
This is a great microwave, very easy to use, easy instructions and easy to clean. Perfect!!

Avoid
Had 2 of these since March. First one was replaced by Amazon after 3 weeks due to it over heating. I am now in contact with Toshiba themselves as the replacement one is now vibrating and overheating.
I bought this as a replacement and it’s is very easy to use, especially if you just need it on full power. Just type the minutes you need and off it goes, click start again to add 30 seconds to the timer. Perfect size for a rice packet to stand up and cook, unlike my last microwave. Good value for money.

Good family capacity
Seems to be a standard microwave and controls same as on other models in this price range for 800w. Cooke efficiently but too soon to assess quality of the enamel inner oven – cheap microwaves seem to deteriorate and rust after a period. Seems good value and has larger capacity so no problems with bigger containers catching on sides during rotation.

Looks good and it's practical
Just the right size for my kitchen and it’s attractive and the design is clear to use.
Maybe the ‘Dinner Plate’ stop needs to be careful, as the plates will be too hot unless you stop the operation earlier.

Best microwave I've ever owned!
Dinner plate heater. Quick start 30 second timer, and just press again for another 30 seconds. Time defrost & weight defrost. What’s not to like!
Basic microwave that gets the work done and reliable
Easy to clean, has enough space inside for dinner plates, bowls etc and easy to use
The oven instructions are not clear at all as most packaged and tinned goods state to cook at a certain Wattage for a specific time.The instructions do not mention anything about Wattage it’s all in Power Levels which do not say anything about the Power Level for a certain Wattage.Contacted Toshiba Customer Service but they are ignorant and will not reply to any Emails.

Nukes up a tasty storm
After being without a microwave for 4days, I was delighted with the efficiency and quality of my rustler burger. It microwaved it so well, I was almost tempted to have another. The quality and sturdy quality is unparalleled with any other, highly recommended.
Great upgrade
Lovely microwave. Great value and a massive improvement on my old one.
Great purchase!
Great value microwave – easy to use, and stylish deisg
Good Microwave
Easy to use, solid Microwave. My old one moved as you opened the door. This one stays put. Really like the short cut buttons as its just 1 press and you don’t end up accidentally typing in 40.00 min instead of 4.00.
Good purchase!
Near, looks smart and does everything you want it to do.
works ok I had hoped for a larger dish
I had hoped for a larger microwave dish to match my previous one
Good value for money.
Modest footprint and internal capacity. Easy to programme and relatively quiet in operation. Rated the same as my previous model but definitely more efficient.
Great Value
When my last Panasonic combi microwave failed, I decided I just wanted a simple to use, no frills microwave and I found it with this Toshiba model. Good, consistent cooking results and simple to use controls for most of your microwave needs. I highly recommend this oven.

Good for the price
Bought this to replace my old microwave, which had died. This is more compact and so far it has worked really well. Seems easy to keep clean. It only has a 12 hour rather than a 24 hour clock format, but this is not really an issue for me. Overall I am very pleased with it.

The look of the Toshiba microwave oven is stylish with nice clean lines with a very usable panel with clear instructions for all functions.
Turntable trouble
The turntable micro plate is easily disengaged from the from the spindle when putting anything inside the oven and you need to check itt’s engaged – otherwise, cooking on gas!
Good value and works well
Toshiba microwave replaced an older Toshiba microwave we had for 37 years. It was showing it age was not cooking properly. The new one is a good size interior and cooks well. The controls are different to what we were used to but we found them easy to adjust to. If it lasts half as long as the previous microwave we will be delighted.

Very happy with this microwave. Quality product, well made. Very easy to use and there is an instruction booklet included. Amazingly quick delivery.
Happy Custome
Thought this might be a bit heavy to lift so tried to cancel the order, however it was too late . Am pleased so far with the microwave . Have had Toshiba before and that lasted 15 years so if this does that I will be well pleased
Very Nice Looking Microwave.
This microwave looks great in my kitchen, although i had anticipated it being a little bigger inside. However, it does exactly what is expected of a microwave and the preset buttons are really useful and great. Like it a lot.

Nice little microwave
I bought this to replace an older, larger microwave that had lost some of its power. Smaller footprint, so easier to relocate, 750watts which is what most cooking instructions state, so easy to use. Nice buy
Brilliant!

Excellent Best purchase.
Extremely easy to use. Excellent results. One button press to start mwave and repeat to increase time. Spacious for its size. Good looking. Steam from use ventilated well
Very happy customer. And I am not easily pleased.
I bought this to replace my 20 year old one – which was still in perfect working order, but I thought it sensible to replace it. This one is fantastic, very easy to use, and to clean. Very well made too. nice button controls, which work fine, just takes a day or so to work out what everything does. I have had it for a week or so, and experimented with different types of food, and it is even better than expected. Looks nice as well, BLACK, but looks nice on my worktop. Better than the old white as they usually are. I would recommend this as a nice addition to your kitchen – looks good, and works great. Price is OK too. I did look at many others first, but I am happy I chose this one.

Excellent basic microwave for under £100
We wanted a simple microwave for heating or re-heating food. It has a good interior space, nice rapid start buttons (1 minute – 6 minutes in 1 minute increments with one button press) and is easy to clean.

It’s simple with no other functions than microwave. No grill etc. But if you just want a good basic microwave, this is almost perfect. Only minor niggle I have found, is that when using it as a kitchen timer, the order you enter the time digits is not the same as when you enter time for the microwave functions, meaning that time after time, I get it wrong and have to start over.

The device was good value
The only issue was that it came with a two prong plug.
Had to purchase an adaptor.
Otherwise, it was an excellent machine and worked with no problems.
Pretty good all round.
I am enjoying using this microwave. It is quiet, clean and very efficient, and is very easy to operate. The only thing missing, hence the 4 stars not 5, is that I cannot time the start of the cooking, so I have to remember when to go out to the kitchen to start it.

Compact good looking microwave that's works
Size is just right and looks just right in our kitchen, I love the fact you can just select 1 for 1 min 2 for 2mins and so on rarther than spin a knob like my more expensive microwave I had before took ages
The Toshiba 800 w 23 L is a great cooking device with a specification and performance that is great value for money.
The only less than perfect feature is that the power level and timer controls are not so easy to use to select the required combination for a specific use. That said, it looks good, is easily to keep clean and just the right size for family use.

I got this on offer from Amazon. So far it’s been great, looks good, easy to clean. Not too heavy and compact. I owned a Toshiba microwave previously and it lasted 30 years. I’m not expecting the same but if this lasts 10% of that time it will be value for money. Update: Still going well and incredibly easy to keep clean inside. Just one thing to watch the display is very easy to damage. My other half poked a hole in the plastic cover with nothing more than her nail after a few uses. Still works mind.

Excellent value for money
This is a great family microwave. A little bigger than my old one, which only just fitted in a dinner plate, so great for space. I don’t like microwaves with dials so this microwave is excellent, as it is all push buttons, so that you can precisely enter the time you want. The only picky thing I could fault it for, is the door is not very heavy so it sounds very loud and tinny when you shut the door and especially it is is closed heavily. It arrived on time and hopefully it will last the standard time white goods tend last to these days only time will tell.

Easy to use
This is a very nice looking microwave even though it has a door handle The digital controls are well marked (but for our needs ,wont be using all of them)
The instructions are plain enough to understand
The build quality seems fine
In the description it says quiet operation Well for me, it doesn’t sound any quieter than my previous Panasonic microwave, but it may just be me
Yes i would recommend this microwave

Love this microwave, easy to keep clean, but could be slightly wide
Bought this from amaxon warehouse on discount.
Brilliant microwave, cooks much better than my old one. I cannot find a fault with it. If you eant a good solid easy to use microwave, this is it.
Would I purchase this again, almost certainly. Does what you need with no fuss.

Our old microwave was peeling inside which bothered me to no end. I wanted a replacement microwave and this one had good reviews and it sounded easier to use. Even with instructions our last microwave was far from easy to understand and we used it so basically but it did what we needed so left it. The clock set up on this was amazingly easy. Press clock, press numbers for time, press clock again and voila!!!! The aggravation I went through before this … never again. You don’t need a photo to know what it looks like. The photo on amazon is what you get. The microwave is simply amazing. Thank you.
