Nice and compact microwave, does its job, the only issue I could point out that it’s impossible to switch off the sound at the end of the cooking time – but probably I’ didn’t look well enough. The instructions manual is short and mostly pictures
Works well and is very slightly quieter than my previous Panasonic microwave. I bought it as folk said it was quieter. I tend to just use it to heat drinks and reheat and cook food. The ‘beverage’ button is pretty pointless as far as I can see as you have to press it 3 times for a mug whereupon it proceeds to heat it for 3mins, whereas you can just press the number 3 once and get it to do the same thing !?! Hey ho.
I hadn’t realised that it would have a dark interior. The knobs are very smooth. Both make this slightly difficult for me to use. Hands need to be dry and grease free to operate the knobs which are also dark. Accuracy needs a torch.
That said it does what it should.
I bought this a few weeks ago, I use it a couple of time a day, and so far I’m very pleased with it.
I only use a microwave for two purposes – to heat up leftovers for me and to defrost meat for my dogs – and this one does those jobs perfectly.
It just has two dials – one to set the heating/power level and one to set the timer and once you work out the combination you need for the job you want it to do, it’s extremely easy to use.
This microwave is great for anyone who doesn’t want or need loads of different settings and functions they never use, which just makes the microwave unnecessarily complicated, when they just want to do basic things like heat food or drink up or defrost something
It’s not as big as my old one, but fits large dinner plates and family size casserole dishes, tupperware containers etc
The Toshiba 800W 23L Microwave Oven with Digital Display is a fantastic kitchen appliance! Its sleek design and compact size make it perfect for any kitchen countertop. The digital display is clear and easy to use, allowing for precise control over cooking times and settings. With 800W of power, it heats food quickly and evenly, and the 23L capacity is ideal for everything from reheating leftovers to cooking larger meals. I also appreciate its range of pre-programmed settings, which take the guesswork out of cooking. Overall, it’s a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly microwave!
Turns out you don’t. This wasn’t the cheapest but was well down there. It’s so far so good. Heats stuff. On time. So that’s good.
It’s pretty light weight so I got in unpacked and up on a shelf in the garage pretty easily. It seems to work well. Timer is fine, heat level.is fine, and not overly noisy. The light inside with the door shut is dim so you can’t really see what’s going on in there, but it’s pretty obvious it’s getting warm; or hot depending what you chose. I have no complaints so far. You can gwt enough in there so good capacity. I mean who wants to put a whole chiken in there, if you do, don’t bother with this one it’s not that big. It sits nice on the side and ain’t gonna wobble. Makes a sweet ping when it’s done. Yep, so, all in all, good value, works well, looks fine. Decent overall pop de ping.
UPDATE: really happy after a few weeks of use of this. The controls work perfectly well, the ping at the end is pretty loud. I’m liking it.
It warms milk as required… isn’t that the main purpose of them.
Nice and neat. Will take a proper sized dinner plate.
My only criticism is when you push the door opening button the microwave slides backwards, so you’ve got to push it tight against the wall. Bad desig
Firstly it looks slick and stylish and stands out in any kitchen.
There’s a built in air fryer which cooks bacon in less than 5 minutes.
Heats meals up thoroughly and throughout the food.
Haven’t used all the functions as it’s bakes, broils etc…
It’s a game changer for me being in my kitchen, I now need to take advantage of all the functions.
You could prepare most meals with this gadget.
I paid 200 which i think is value.
Definitely the best microwave that i have ever had.
Still trying to work out how to use all the functions I am finding it is getting used mainly as microwave even though it can do all sorts of things
I originally had this model years ago, so when after sterling service it started failing , I reordered another. That arrived on time and with packaging pristine. opening 2 sturdy boxes i got the unit out of its styrene, wow I was stunned, it looked as though it had been in a rugby match, AS THE BALL ! edges dented and front left bottom corner well and truely stoved in. It had obviously left the factory beat up as all the packaging was perfect. contacted Amazon who arranged free return, and delivered a new one next day. This one inperfect condition, this unit easily meets my original review.
Bought to replace a microwave oven that only lasted 2yrs. This one seems to have a lot more power, and was half the price of my old one. Really pleased with it so far.
I am very pleased with this microwave
It looks good and the delivery was next day
I was worried about getting a new one and learning how to use it but I have found this one very simple to use straight away
Bought as a replacement for the gas oven which my elderly mother was finding difficult to use. However, she finds the wording on the microwave’s control panel difficult to read. Other than that, the appliance does the job as a micro, an oven and an airfryer.
This is a simple no frills basic micrwave oven. Easy to use, small and neat. easy to assemble.Timer is fairly accurate, numbers are clear but it would have been better if there had been a thin white line or dot on the side of the knob to line up with the numbers. I ran it empty as a trial when I first got and the outer casing got very hot, however when used normally with food in it the casing stays cool. Does the job and food is hot.
Bought it so I could cook 2 meals at the same time as this could not be done in my combined microwave, grill, convection oven.
Nice looking microwave. The internal dimensions given for this microwave are 30.6 X 30.4 X 20.6. Sadly we had to return as the door opening measures only 17.5 high by 27.5 wide (i though it was going to be 20.6 high). All the inside walls are curved giving the extra size but are not usable as you can only use the max size of the turntable width anyway. Anything that you put in it has to be no higher realistically than 16cm. Sadly no good for me.
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.
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 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.
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…
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
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
