Very large microwave
Large capacity with handy minutes quick start. I did find one plastic corner under the packaging but don’t think it’s part of the microwave. Easy to clean.
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.
Would have given 5* but for poor manual
This is a very nice microwave but it’s manual is poorly written, spelling errors and lacks cooking examples to illustrate how to use the various settings, otherwise would have probably rated it as 5.

It works and works well
I had to replace mine as it tripped all the lights!!! This new one is far better and only a little more in price
Good but moisture may be an issue
Great size. Great look. Works very well. Doesn’t dissipate moisture that well but can leave the door open after for that.
A good efficient microwave
I am sure that I won’t use half the abilities of this microwave, it is easy to use for reheating, it cleans easily and seems to work extremely well.
You will give this micro-a-wave.
Well made, very good looking design, Easy to operate and clean. Very good price .Very good organisation to deal with. Delivered on time, well packaged.
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.
Took me ages to decided which Microwave ...
So pleased with my decision!
I have only given 4 stars based on initial delivery and one days usage.
Hope to increase to 5 stars soon.
I had it in my basket all Black Friday week awaiting discount maybe but not to be !
Today 3 days later it has been reduced by 8 !
I’m leaving it at four stars !
Easy to use and good quality product.
Bought for my 86 Yr old brother to replace the old analogue (turn knob) one he had. He has found it quite easy to switch to the digital time setting for his weekly prepared meal delivery.

Simple to operate
My old “analogue” microwave died so I decided to replace with something digital and hopefully easier to keep clean. I don’t use if for serious cooking but only for heating stuff up and making simple things like porridge or cooked apples. For what I need it performs to perfection doesn’t cause a lot of mess and what mess there is is easily cleaned. So far nothing not to like!
Good value
This is only my second microwave and I am very pleased with it. One of the switches is a little dodgy getting to the P. 80 setting but I have figured it out – not worth returning for this. The instruction book leaves a lot to desired – very odd indeed. Anyway, it is good value but not worth 5 stars due to that book.
Very pleased with this microwave.
Always bought much more expensive microwaves never did more than heat things up. Longest they lasted was less than 2 yrs. it doesn’t matter if this only lasts a year I’ll still have saved money.

Whilst we do not use the full functionality of the machine what we have used works really well. Baked potatoes using the preset bakes potatoes as if they were baked in the oven.
We like the absence of a grill etc as we found this to be superfluous on our previous microwave. But we don’t watch movies on our phone either!
The instruction booklet is very helpful to set up and after a few times we soon knew what to do.
The microwave is a very useful size as it can take plates and other dishes which our previous microwave was too small for.
Very good value for money.
Great make and fantastic microwave for a large family 👍
Our old trusty microwave sadly had to go to the big recycling bin in the sky so onwards and upwards this microwave is brilliant, a lot easier to use with one touch start, even the young daughter can use it without any grief, and of all things the Mrs likes i
Simply Brillia
Our faithful microwave died so I bought a Panasonic but found it horrendously noisy and had problems so sent it back and got a Sharp microwave but this also lacked basic useful features like a kitchen timer, buttons were difficult to press and made a constant high pitch noise so sent that back – third time lucky I tried the Toshiba – it’s perfect, does the job great, very pleased with it.
I bought this based on the official blurb below it’s Amazon listing pronouncing this to be a super quiet microwave, perfect for my spouse to make her pre-commute 4am porridge without waking me or the neighbours. I found this machine to be very noisy indeed. Given that it beeps very loudly with each keypress and beeps incessantly once its finished cooking it seems pointless to proclaim the microwave operates so quietly that it won’t even wake a sleeping baby – the infernal beeping will have the toddler rudely awake and wailing in no time.
Everything else about the microwave is great: it looks quite nice, for microwave, looks very easy to clean and is very easy to operate. But if you’re hoping it’ll be as quiet as Toshiba’s marketing team claim it is be you’ll be at least disappointed as I was.
Microwave is fairly good, the grill is mediocre
I used to have an integrated microwave and grill, which worked great, so I bought this hoping it’d work as well. The microwave works well, but the grill is mediocre. It doesn’t seem to heat quickly or strongly. I probably should’ve gotten a good microwave and independently a good toaster oven. The user interface is reasonably intuitive, so props there.
Good value for money, reasonable size for everyday use. Good selection of functions. My only criticism is that the light remains on if the door is left open and the unit can get hot, so after heating something up I have to make sure I leave the door open to let out the residual steam (and smells) for only a couple of minutes and then not forget to shut it!
I like the look of this product and hope it serves me well
For all my cooking so far I only used microwave, so I shall be using the oven for meat etc I know it is early to give a review but I have faith in this produc
Easy to use, and the read out is bright, and for the price for a combi oven it's excellent.
There is a fault with this item, but Amazon gave me a 12% discount on the price i paid, if i hold the door in tight for a few seconds, the microwave starts to work, not a serious problem, even though i have to do this all the time i use it, but when it is working it is great, easy to use and does the job, a bit noisey, but then i did buy it used from Amazon warehouse deals, all in all, i’m happy with what i paid for the item.
Easy to use and cooks / heats brilliantly
Perhaps not the most stylish microwave but does have a utilitarian appeal and more than makes up for this by offering straightforward and easy to operate buttons.
Definitely won’t have to consult the manual to operate or even set the clock. All very logically laid out.
Most importantly it cooks food and reheats meals brilliantly.
So easy to use
We bought our previous (Proline) microwave over twenty years ago, and it always worked well, and when it eventually stopped heating properly we worried the new one would be tricky to use, e.g. only allowing 30 second increments, too programmed into new clever ways of working. Our fears were entirely unfounded: The new Toshiba is dead easy to use, even easier than the last one. We really like the one-touch start (just press 1 to get 1 minute) but it’s easy and intuitive to press time to cook – enter the number of seconds – press start – so we can continue to warm butter fresh from the fridge and similar lazy but life-improving tasks…
Good as a microwave, grill function doubtful
It’s good and easy to use as a microwave. I’ve never had one before with a grill function so I don’t know how well they are supposed to work, but this one failed to heat up much even after half an hour, so I gave up. Something that I’d expect to grill in 20 minutes or so is likely to take a couple of hours. As a microwave though it’s fine.

Good Buy
This is the best Micro oven that I have bought to date, because of the grill, which is smaller and cheaper to use than my oven grill, It suits my needs and uses less energy.

Easy to setup and use
?Quick efficient service. The microwave is very high quality as you would expect from Toshiba
Great value for money and does a great job
Actually heats food not just plate, can fit large dishes in (30cm) which is do helpful. Nothing takes too long to heat up, really pleased with it.
Just the job
Really pleased with this microwave. It is easy to use and the controls are clear and sensible. The timer can be set seconds as well as minutes and hours. Good size turntable. All in all a very good buy.

Does everything
Oven stopped working, got this and it does a super job whilst using less energy. Still trying to work out all functions though.
The cooker is uexpectedly versatile
I like that the cooker is versatile and power saving. I have to pay attention when using it, I can sometimes set it incorrectly. Overall it is a good purchase. Thank you. Peter
Either it is easy to set the oven incorrectly for preheat and convection cooking or it often fails in the middle of the setup so that I find it preferable to use my main kitchen oven to preheat and warm my meals. I am still trying to decide what is wrong. Is it me not setting the toshiba oven correctly or does the oven not follow the procedure correctly.
I am very careful with the settings and folllow the procedure in the instructions for use with great care. It seems that once it has gone wrong I have to leave the oven to reset itself before it can be set for convection cooking. I will persist carefully until I am satisfied that it is either me or the oven that is unreliable. Pete
I looked at several microwaves before settling on this one, really didn’t one that took up loads of worktop space and this one is a good size. Limited instructions but I am getting the hang of it, would have liked more information or instructions on how to get the best of the combination features. So a bit of trial and error at first. The only slightly negative is that the grill is not very strong, seems to take ages to grill small items such as fish fingers and I fear I may give up trying and go back to my traditional grill. Apart from that I’m happy.
Good microwave let down by poor ergonomic desig
I bought this for the combi and the 950w power. It’s functional purpose is fine. Problems are that the programming isn’t straight forward and the buttons are the same colour as the microwave and I can’t see them clearly.
Dull figures
Very pleased with this combination microwave, looks good easy to use. But I’ve nocked off one star because the figures above the buttons are a dull grey on a shiny black door and you get a reflection of the kitchen behind you, making it hard to see.

Large and easy to use
It’s easy to use with lots of functionality, instructions are clear and the 30sec quick start button is very useful. We bought it because it was large enough inside to take large dinner plates and bowls. It looks great and is easy to clean. All in all, very straightforward and we are enjoying i
Microwave
This arrived on time, well packed and looks good. It’s easy to use, more roomy than most. I particularly like the door handle and the auto 30 second facility. Very happy with it.

Microwave and oven work well, grill not so much
The controls take some getting used to but the instruction manual has helped a lot. The microwave and convection oven features are not bad – I’ve succeeded partially in baking a cake in the oven. The grill is rather weak, and I’ve had to use a combination of convection oven and grill to get my desired results.
Good size. Easy to clean. Lots of useful functions. There’s a reheat Pizza button, which is particularly useful in our household.
I have only taken a star off because I genuinely thought the whole thing was silver from the pictures and it is only the frontage that is stainless steel / silver. If that isn’t a problem for you then I would give it 5 stars.
Fine for the price
This combi oven works well. I haven’t tried the grill yet but convection and microwave are fine. It was smaller than I expected and was delivered with a small dent in the side but otherwise ok. I keep the instructions on top as I find it necessary to refer to them regularly. Basic micro heating is straightforward but other settings are not so obvious, no doubt I will remember with practice.
Perfec
My kitchen is small so worktop space is at a premium. The relatively small ‘footprint’ means it does not dominate the space. It works well and I’m very happy.
Easy to use and works well
After my old microwave of 14 years decided to retire to wherever old microwave ovens go, I looked at a number of options. This one seemed to be a good value and promised next day delivery.
It was easy to set up and works well. Simple to use and food goes in cold, comes out hot.
Looks great, easy to use.
I brought this before reading the reviews and was a little worried. I have to say that this is the easiest to use microwave I have ever had. It fits my largest plates, cooks fast, heats quickly and evenly, is so easy to clean, and looks fabulous in my kitchen. Looks far more expensive than it was. A little money, very well spent!!
It certainly looks the part big and bold
Well it certainly looksike the beast of microwave I haven’t actually cooked anything yet but I am well impressed with the structure it’s a solid machine and I am looking forward to many rec ipies over the next few months watch this space in the week I have a nice steak to have looking forward to trying the grill
Easy to use and powerful
Really impressed with this. The extra wattage really adds a lot of power over slightly cheaper models.
The quick 30sec blasts are really good and we use that for most things. The auto settings for jacket potato worked perfectly.
Looks smart and easy to use.
Installation issues not thought out.
My only reservations are:
1. Use of moulded plug which made it necessary to cut large 50 mm hole to feed the cable plug through oven cabinet to power point. A conventional plug would not have required me to cut a plug-size hole through the cabinet since I could simply have removed the plug to feed the cable through a small opening. For reasons of safety was not happy to cut and extend cable!
2. Cable was about 5 cm shorter than previous Panasonic microwave cooker that I replaced with the Toshiba after 17 years of use. This meant that I could not hide the cable.
3. Legs should be designed to be easily removed to allow oven to be slid into place. Had to use force and managed to refit legs but with considerable difficulty.
Although performance is impressive for the simplicity in operating microwave oven, practical issues involved in fitting and installing not thought out by Toshiba. There is the tacit assumption that every customer wants simply to plonk the oven on a working surface: wrong and highly irritating!
I specifically bought this because I needed a better microwave, but also needed another conventional oven as I only have one fitted oven at home, and this can be an issue when needing different temperatures or just space etc.
The microwave is very good. It’s very powerful and heats/cooks as expected.
The conventional oven is not so good. It works fine, and It cooks, but I’d recommend adjusting temperatures/timings.
Add 10 degrees temperature and 10% cooking time to anything if using conventional. It’s understandable as it’s not primarily designed as a conventional oven, so I can forgive it for that.
The controls are easy to use and master. You may have to press a few buttons and twist a few dials, but they are easy enough.
The build is pretty robust. I think because of the conventional oven they have added more heat insulation and shielding.
For the price, I’d say this a is a good buy, and I’m not complaining.
Brilliant microwave and value for money
This is a great microwave. Having given it lots to do over the space of a month I.e. grilling, cooking, oven baking it does do the job very well and is a good quality product for the money. Well worth the asking price although you will need to spend a little time acquainting yourself with the instructions.
Spot on choice
I replaced an old 25 microwave from Sainsburys that finally died (dial) and picked this due to the reviews and cost. I made a perfect choice. For saying it’s 75, it has a wealth of features that makes it so easy to use. First 6 numbers, press once and it cooks for that many minutes – quick and simple: that’s all I was after. Couple that with the +30 seconds when you press start for a last minute warm up and it does everything I wanted.
It even looks good in the kitchen.
When I saw the instructions on how to use this machine my heart sank because they seemed to be so complicated. Then I discovered that I could just set it to full power using the top knob and just leave it on this position,. When I want to cook something I just rotate the bottom button to the time I want to cook things for and press the start button and that’s it. Just rotate the bottom button and press start, so simple.
I bought this microwave after my old one had packed up and couldn’t wait till this one turned up. It looks lie somebody actually made an effort in designing it. I love the fact that the door is opened by pulling a handle as the previous one woud dance around the worktop when pressing the door button. It has handy settings for preparing stuff – I only used the popcorn one so far :).
While mentioning the manual could be a bit more elaborate. It for example in the potato menu (jacket potato I guess) three different settings depending on the weight, which only is described in imperial values (ounces) where I only do metric. And the above mentioned setting for popcorn tells to press once for fifty and twice for one hundred but it doesn’t say of what. Hence one star taken off the rating. A major company like Toshiba could have made more effort there. Otherwise a brilliant machine.
Quiet,efficient,easy to clean and good price
I am very pleased with this microwave.l bought it to replace a fairly new Samsung which is similar model but the light inside is so dim it was so frustrating.The Toshiba has brighter bulb and is ceramic easy clean which is brilliant. Very easy to operate and quieter than Samsung. I would recommend.
Great product !
I am very pleased with my purchase. What a great price. It has so many functions, which is what I wanted, I have yet to try them all out. I bought this particular model because I wanted a grill function. At the price offered, I didn’t think twice. I like the Toshiba brand. This purchase doesn’t disappoint. Highly recommend.
Easy to use
The only small diificulty I encountered was the timer , my previous very old micro wave had a timer based on 100th part of a minute while this one is based on the more conventional 60th of a minute .

Very pleased with this. Bought it to replace a Sharp combi we’d had and used every day for nearly 10yrs so it had a tough act to follow. Very easy to use even though the instructions were written in 5 minutes on a stamp. Not much in terms of recipes etc. Sharp one had a dedicated jacket potato button that produced perfect jacket spuds with baked crinkly skin using microwave, grill and oven. This hasn’t but you can do the same manually with this Toshiba by selecting all 3 cooking types together, but you’d have to work the time out by trial and error.
Very easy to clean and heats up to 200deg in 5 minutes. These are so good now we’ve only used our main over twice in 5yrs. This is very inexpensive too.
Cooks well and easy to use
We were looking for a decent microwave to replace an inverter microwave which seemed to be interfering with wifi. This is an ideal replacement, easy to use and ha dy features such as 30 second quick settings.
Love i
I bought for my mum as her other one she had, had broken.
We are so impressed with this microwave. It’s easy to use and looks very modern and stylish on the counter top.
Best microwave I've ever had definite
This microwave was so sumole ti set up that instructions barely needed ince you’ve understood ir this product incredibly simple to use anyine will manage, & as advertised wipes clean with furst wipe of
Damp cloth great! Highly recommended
Personally I never use microwaves for cooking but find ‘weight defrost’ and ‘reheat’ invaluable. This microwave is great. Was bought to replace a kenwood 900w and so far I’m very impressed. The weight defrost is far better, you can set the exact weight where as with my old one you had to round the number up or down. Also the kenwood had a tendency to slightly cook the edges of things when defrosting this one however is far more gentle. Microwave itself is simple to use, very self explanatory. Didn’t need to bother with the instructions. Would certainly recommend.
Good value for money
Pros:
Nice modern look
Quiet operation
Easy to use
Quick heating
Cons:
Front panel is a bit plasticky
Overall I recommend this microwave. I’ve had it a few months now and it has worked very well.
eplaced another microwave which was flat bed – very good feature BUT light bulb needed to be replaced in less than 9 months this would have required a return to the Factory to do.
The Toshiba can have bulb replaced by user and it is excellent to use. Especially the one touch pad for 100% options
Still with a rotating table for dishes and awkward to take out and clean. The flat bed model i had peviously was easier but not if it needs to go back to the supplier to have the bulb changed. I am very happy with the Toshiba model

Just a microwave, I gave up on combination microwaves after my last ones burnt a hole through its metal chassis, my brother similarly had the same problem with a different manufacturer of combination ovens. I don’t think this is stainless steel as suggested in it description, but it’s a new world, there could be something in it made of stainless steel somewhere, but i think the chassis is mild steel painted with enamel paint. At least it was cheap, I hope the chassis doesn’t burn through and another perfectly working transformer and magnetron don’t go into the local tip because the chassis is leaking microwaves all over the place. Ignore the noise (Decibel) rating, it’s as loud any other microwave I’ve had.
The perfect basic microwave
This is the perfect basic microwave. There’s no grill or double-ovens, or any of that malarkey – just a well-built, easy to use, large microwave. Large dinner plates fit in here easily and the electronic buttons are dead easy to use (I hate fiddling around with timer dials on some other models). It looks good, too. Thoroughly recommended.
warranty is void if used outside of US
he microwave is brilliant once you realise its not a 12 hour clock BUT when i tried to register it one of the things that make the warranty void is if its used outside of US and i like most live in UK. the price was reasonable, so if unlucky that it goes wrong then will write to amazo
Easy to use
I have found the interface easy to use most of the selections are done with the dial, I think I have only looked at the maunal once. It gas a stove enamel inside which is easy to wipe. I thought it might be lower powered than my previous combo microwave but its virtually the same.
Brilliant Product!
I am absolutely delighted with this product. Last night I made a full meal in it. No fuss and took so much less time to heat up than my regular oven and better electrical rating as well! Very pleasantly surprised. Delivery was very quick also.
.
I love it!
After searching for a compact yet reasonably sized microwave, I settled on this one. It looks stylish and does an excellent job with easy-to-follow instructions. Would probably be a struggle for a family, but is perfect for an individual or a couple.

3 days before xmass the microwave starts quitting, so fingers crossed i ordered this. next morning it arrived. can it grill ,no. can it change power, not that i know. can it link to the net and manage the house while teaching itself to cook, not a chance. canit defrost, yes. can it microwave , yes. is it programmable, yes within the confines of a microwave. is it easy to clean, yes. is it big, big enough for two dinner plates and a plate stand or a bag of microwave popcorn. is it value for money , yes ( until they make one that can do the net stuff and program the tv and sat nav all for 30.
Works well and easy to use
It is a good size and fits dinner plates. Also has a dinner plate warming setting.
A very convenient one button heating for times up to 6 minutes.
Only has a few preset buttons, but one of them is jacket potato, so all is well.
Good value for money.
It’s a microwave
It’s a microwave, it works like a microwave and it cooks as you would expect a microwave to cook.
Is there anything exciting to say about it? It has a popcorn button, that’s always good I guess, saves a couple of clicks if your unsure how long popcorn should be in for.
Basically it’s s good sized microwave that we’ve had for quite a while now and it’s never failed to make my soup all toastie, so it’s been worth every penny we paid.
Great buy!
Really pleased with this purchase. Can’t say I’ve figured out how to zap something for less than thirty seconds but it was just a skim read of the instructions.
Had for 3 months now and find it reliable and does the job.
Difficult to read program options on top dial, need to refer to instuction booklet for explanation of displayed choices.
Timer options on second dial puzzling; but by multiple presses of start button can add a series of 30sec slots to the operating time displayed.
Seems to work well if slightly less power than claimed 900W (old Sanyo 800W would boil over a mug of milk/water coffee in 2 mins, this can run for 2:30 without boiling over? I like to stop it just before boiling over to give a creamy top).
Efficient and easy to use..even for a techno-idiot like me
Although there are lots of technical options, it’s easy to use, and offers lots of options such as power, timing etc. Many more technical options, but for basics, I can’t recommend it enough. Good looking, too, and easy to maintain.
I bought this using black Friday for someone but then I kept it for me inside, it has a grill inside, which I didn’t know. I buy croissant now and then, I use the oven feature which allows me to grill and use the microwave to heat it up. I was confused on how to use the microwave has it doesn’t have many buttons. But then I saw the sticker on top which helps. This is a great microwave which has 2 in 1 feature. I use it a lot. Also when heating beverages the beverage node return the cup to the point where I placed it so it allowed me to grab it without looking for the cup handle.
Propduct is great, delivery driver in too much of a rush though and left my elderly mother with just a boxed item. Would have been good to have unpacked the bos and plugged in, all of 5 minutes. Product great though.
All the features..great value.
Fantastic little microwave. Digital timer, power turntable, countdown timer, internal light.
I usually insist on sharp but this one ticked all the boxes and doesn’t disappoint.
Looks very smart too. Arrived well packaged safely.
I’ve found more powerful mics can burn or singe the edges, 800w is just fine.
Good produc
I’m happy with this product and it’s good value for money. Simple enough to use and all the features you can expect.
I don’t normally use the preset functions but I’m quite happy with the popcorn button 🙂
This is a powerful microwave. I was in awe of it because it seemed too complicated to use but after reading the excellent Instructions manual I soon got to grips with this 21st Century model. The food cooks without drying meat or fish and the Auto settings are a dream come true. Vegetables cooked this way remain succulent and tasty. So easy to clean and there is no need to fear the steam that is emitted after use. Its probably what keeps the food moist. I leave the door open for a while for the steam to clear. It’s a very powerful microwave so follow the instructions to the letter. I would recommend having scales to weigh the food on the Auto settings. Guessing the weight will result in scortched food! I learned that lesson the hard way from experience.
Not delighted. This was advertised as being stainless steel. It isn’t. It’s painted steel top and sides with a bit of stainless steel on the door. I’m actually quite annoyed.

Am waiting for a response to my query sent yesterday. When cooking rice (in an appropriate microwave rice steamer) the area between the two panes of glass in the door misted up very badly. This cannot be correct.
18th Sept. – have had a response now telling me that this microwave is unsuitable for cooking rice. There is no mention of this in the product information, and I have always cooked rice in previous microwaves with no problem, so I’m rather disappointed in this one for that reason.
It does the job.
I’ve held off buying a microwave for a long time but I can’t fault it. I like the easy one button timer setting which has also has a quick 30s adjustment button. 800W is more than sufficient. It’s larger than a lot of microwaves I’ve seen which is no bad thing. The interior is coated and so easy to clean and it has the usual glass turntable.
Good appluance
Came quickly after first one was returned as it was damaged in transit. I had to reorder and the price was higher, hence only four stars for value. So easy to programme, it is attractive and matches other appliances. Very pleased with performance.
A well made product given the user quite a few options in the line of cooking an item i truly recommend it giving it 5 stars for sure
The only thing I do not like is its size, its big .. very wide for my taste . I wish i had got a smaller version of microwave. The rest is fine, it works super well.

Seems easy to use but have only used it once. Looks very smart and the controls appear to be simple. Didn’t want another Sharp as the last unit only lasted 2 years with the internal painted surface delaminating from the steel substrate and hoped Toshiba would be a trusted brand.
A great sized microwave, as it can take bigger items inside.
I love how easy it is to use, and how spacious it is inside without over crowding your kitchen worktop.
And an amazing price too!
We needed a new microwave and didn’t want to spend a fortune on an all dancing all singing model. This one fits the bill. Reasonably priced, easy enough controls. Wish I’d paid more attention to overall dimensions as it’s quite a bit chunkier than the old one; but that’s probably my fault for not being more attentive. I might also have chosen a different colour than black but it’s a microwave not an oil painting and it lives in the kitchen! So yes, does the job nicely.
A great microwave easy enough for my dad to use
