Nice looking
Like the way you can just press buttons that already have times set up for you to cook easy to use cooks well and the price was good very quiet when cooking
Really good
Love this microwave the price was really good value and I love the preset functions. It’s much more power than my previous microwave, heats up food way quicker. Can’t go wrong with this.
Works as stated
It works as stated in the advert. Good value for money & for microwave use. The only minor issue as stated in a previous revue is the noisy shutting of the door. All in all a good oven.
Excellent Rebounder Very Easy Build
I received this on a Sunday afternoon and had it built in less than 20 minutes on my own, very easy to put together and I am a very unfit 51 year old woman. Tried it out and it seems great. Much bigger than I expected.
Child friendly
Easiest ever dials and timers to use, even kids of ten can operate safely. Not noisy or smelly. Good family size and economic to use even for bigger meals. Nice finish and ergonomics.
Four stars
I have only given 4stars because the microwave was to big for the kitchen work top that was my fault because I didn’t measure properly otherwise I would have kept it.. seemed a excellent microwave in every way but of course I didn’t use it..the return was very easy thanks to Amazon’s simple straightforward instructions
Does the job
Needed a replacement for my ancient microwave. This one is well sized and looks good.
It’s main benefit which is it has a very clear easy to read & use control panel. This is a feature that many wouldn’t consider but is important when a family member struggles to see well.
Having large print numbers on a black background means that my husband finds it easy to use even without his glasses!
The one touch quick timers are brilliant
Would definitely recommend it, good value for money
I brought a well known Top brand of microwave which i sent back due to some damage .. I didn’t want to risk replacing it, so I went for another brand.I am glad I did. This microwave is perfect. It does the job and easy to clean.
Apart from looking great on my kitchen counter, it also looks easy to use. Along with the good price, the deciding factor was that the specifications were clear and that the inside measurements were also displayed. Hopefully, this microwave will last as long as my old one. Time will tell, but so far so good. Delivery was on time and was able to track easily.
The Toshiba 800W 23L Microwave Oven has been a great addition to my kitchen. Its digital display and one-touch express cook feature make it easy to use, while the six pre-programmed auto cook settings simplify meal prep. The auto defrost function works well for quick thawing, and the stainless steel design looks sleek and modern.
Cleaning is a breeze, thanks to the easy-clean interior. For its size and power, it handles daily cooking tasks efficiently and reliably. Overall, it’s a versatile microwave that offers excellent value for its features.
I bought this to replace an all-bells-and-whistles Samsung combi microwave that had died a month after the warranty expired.
The Toshiba is a very convenient size and it’s easy to keep clean. It’s a fairly basic unit, so don’t expect some of the fancy gubbins that comes with more expensive models. That said, it is very easy to use, has a kitchen timer on it (jolly handy when you’re cooking and need a timer and aren’t using the microwave), and has variable power settings. It has a number of presets for different foods that are typically cooked in a microwave (such as jacket potatoes) and does have some more advanced features, like multi-stage cooking, that I’ve not experimented with.
Overall, it’s excellent value for money and well worth considering if you don’t need or want a combi unit.
Does the job nicely
Heats things up very well and I like the easily cleanable control panel on the front. I only have two small gripes – the first is that the plastic support ring under the glass plate is small so the plate sometimes moves off it’s mount when I take things out or put them back. Last is that the condensation inside is severe but not a real issue as you just leave the door open for a while.
This microwave was a replacement for a smaller manual model I have reviewed elsewhere which developed a fault and became noisy.
This a a 23l capacity which is IMO rather better than the many 20l on sale. The oven is sturdy and mechanically sound. The interior is both well ventilated during cooking (less steam: less risk of rust), and easy to clean. The presets include useful buttons such as ‘potatoes’ which are useful rather than the latest tech. One odd anomaly is that the time display is 12 hour only. I took delivery in the afternoon and discovered that I could not enter “15:15”. It is mentioned in the accompanying book somewhere, not very obviously. The door shutting is rather noisy otherwise it all seems sound. Design is good. This is not the very high end technology, but very good value and more than enough for most users.
Power Levels do NOT quite equate with wattage levels and you will need to spend a week or more heating by trial and error. One meal will be too hot, one too cool and the third about right. Don’t forget to note what cook times and Power Levels you’re using for future reference.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice microwave
It looks very sleek and it’s good quality. There is a lot of space inside for oversized dinner plates and it’s easy to clean. The only downside is that it does condensate quite badly, meaning you have to wipe the inside door after using it every time. However, i don’t find that to be a huge problem.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good size microwave
Very happy with microwave, the large size makes a huge difference, we can put 2 different, decent sized cartons in at the same time. Easy to use and quieter than many microwaves.
Almost all microwaves are made at same factory and just re-badged for different companies.
This is like any other microwave and works well, simple to use, just hit the +30 secs button a number of times or key in the weight in grams you want to defrost and hit start button!
We’ve had this for 3 years and it has been used every single day, at times multiple times and we have had no issues. A good microwave that I recommend if you have the space as it is quite bulky. Love that is is grey inside so it is more aesthetically pleasing to my eye compared to the white one. You can also srr inside to check on your food but it’s a bit trickier. Only issue we have is that we just wish it did not beep 5 times when food is ready as it is quite loud and if you are trying to be sneaky you have to open the door before it reaches the 0 seconds target and there is no beep then… Apart from that, great! We don’t use it to cook food or defrost (we’ve used it in the past and it was ok we just are not used to cooking in a microwave), it’s been used only to reheat leftovers. We’ve also used it when our baby was small to heat up water in a container and then we’d put his milk baby bottles inside to warm up his milk. We’re happy with it.
While using the connvection preheat oven setting, I forgot to set a time. When it got up to the set temperature I put my dinner in, and closed the door. It cooked for a few minutes and then stopped. Fair enough because I didn’t set the time. However, when I tried to turn it back on as connection oven setting, it wouldn’t let me (I followed the instructions in the pamphlet exactly). It automatically used the fan to dispell the heat out of the oven. Only when it had finished doing that, did it let me use the oven again. So it had to heat up all over again. Waste of electricity and time. You should be allowed to reset a convection oven function while it is still hot from its previous session. Hope you sleep this function on future models.
I ordered the stainless so the exterior was easier to keep clean, and so it matched every other small appliance in my kitchen? I got the black version… CBA to return it, as getting to a drop-off point is a mission where I live (don’t drive, plus I’m disabled). I also really need a microwave!?
You’d think with it costing a decent chunk of change, and being Toshiba, you’d get more than a single years warranty for it! It’s an appaling way to treat a new customer, but you won’t be getting any more purchases from me, for the rest of my time on this planet!
4.0 out of 5 stars Wish if it was handle less!
Everything is okay with this microwave oven just don’t like the fact that the handle is sticking out from the body!
All of my previous micro oven were handle free and opening by pushing a button therefore it’s just an eyesore. Didn’t realise it is this prominent until after a few days.
Apart of that it’s a great micro oven.
Easy to use.
Surprisingly this was my first microwave. So I’m glad to say it was easy to use. The manual was concise and handy to refer to. With these trying times, the cost of using this microwave was so economical.
Works brilliantly
Have been using this for a while and it is excellent. Not very easy to work out how it works but found a simple solution to use to heat my food.
Good microwave in this price bracke
Looks smart, works very well, relatively easy to use and keep clean.
Uncomplicated microwave ove
My wife and I have used the identical microwave oven for a number of years. Bought this one for our granddaughter who is at university. She too is pleased with how it performs and its uncomplicated controls. Highly recommended
Easy to program
At last a digital microwave you don’t need a degree in astrophysics to use. Very happy.
default desig
he microwave door came unaligned with the control panel-
After checking with online images and videos related to this specific product, it appeared clearly there was a default design for the item delivered to us for instance.
Returned and refunded
A good sturdy machine price wise spot o
Not sure about the grill a bit under powered the microwave is excellent so far but still early days
Very small wave.
You need to read the manual a couple of times to understand how to use it but it’s user friendly and has eco mode.
It’s a microwave
Love the one touch settings, especially the Potato!
The handle is great. It opens without sliding the microwave across the counter top 🙂
Worth if is on sale price
Overall it’s good but I won’t not recommend to pay full price . I bought this because it was on sale.
Hard to read instructions at fro
Like machine..but instructions on front of machine.. to dark to read..even with glasses on. !! Even with magnifying glass…my only bug beat…..from.ken green.
Oldbury
We bought this to replace a slightly tatty microwave oven, the old one wasn’t broken – it just looked a bit dated and was difficult to keep clean.
The Toshiba looks much smarter and the stainless steel finish is much easier to maintain. It works percetly well and was a good price.
Absolutely love this microwave! Solid construction with good handle (much missed on our previous microwave) and digital time display. So easy to use (haven’t needed all the available functions). Being able to simply press ‘1’ to ‘6’ for one minute to six minutes of cooking on full power is so easy, along with the 30-seconds quick start. Alternatively, select ‘TimeCook’ and use the number keys to input the required time down to the second – perfect! As some other reviewers mentioned, it does get very wet inside, but this is easily sorted with a quick wipe down with kitchen roll which we’ve always done with other microwaves. Overall, this is the best microwave we’ve had, and it is highly recommended.
Lovely size, good looking, and efficient working microwave, instead of turning off at mains I use the eco button. Buttons and dial take time getting use to but that’s with anything new. Downside is the grill function, which I was looking forward to as my oven grill is broke, took 5 minutes so far and no sign of any colour or even bubbling on my cheese on toast. Will try to heat it up more before using grill to see if that works. Also I’m a bit paranoid putting the metal grill in and keep checking I have only the grill setting on, but the digital display does tell you if you are on the only grill setting. All in all nice microwave, but poor grill performance.
Extra power is a treat. I could have done without the grill, because I don’t seem inclined to bother with it. Small irritation: the grooves to place the roller in are too shallow, which causes the roller to displace when putting the plate on top, making it fiddly. Also, the roller seems a bit flimsy. But, despite that, I don’t regret buying it. The extra power is great, and cooking results are good.
Easy to use.
This microwave is so easy to use. Excellent setting and easy to clean. It also looks good.
Very cool
Love this microwave and easy to use, great price too
The size is adequate for my needs and fits the space allocated
Nothing to dislike, it looks good and does the tasks I require.
Lager microwave
Micro wave needed replacing look at this one after reading reviews bought it as it is slightly lager than previous one it is much easier to usu plenty of room lifting items in and out .
My microwave that worked great died, so I bought this one hoping I’d pick a good one, not only did picked a good microwave, I’d picked a great microwave, it looks good in my kitchen and it works great, I’m personally not a fan of the clock being on all the time, it has an eco mode that turns the clock and interior light off after 1 minute, touching a button, nob or opening the door turns it back on, it’s great microwave that I’m pleased I purchased.
Damaged
Arrived damage tried to get through but couldn’t in and couldn’t be bothered had enough of them
Bought a few months ago when it appeared almost impossible to get. Decent cheap microwave in UKevery shop was sold out and you basically had to take what you weee given. Easy to operate, power and well packed, nothing else to say really
Bought for my daughter she says she can now put larger plates in it than her old one.

Does the job for us
It’s a lovely microwave and does two settings or microwave and oven. there are two many settings to choose from so no good for any one like my mum who needs something straightforward !
Easy to use, not too bulky, would recommend
Great microwave just does what it says on the tin, easy to use , good size

Large microwave
This is a large microwave, that is easy to use and well manufactured. Solid unit that does a good job.
Good Value
Good value for money. Looks good & does exactly what you’d want it to.
Quietest on the market, I would say
But, as we found with the last one (same model) the clear plastic coating over the buttoms is not durable. Long nails start to break it up. I haven’t read the instructions but as ever find most of the facilities useless/ unnecessary and certainly not intuitive.
On the previous machine in our old motor home I opened the case and wired a small (7 watt) fan directly to the microwave’s interior light terminals. I cut a small circular hole in the body of the motor home and fitted a discrete circular stainless steel grill. The moist air from the microwave was sucked outside and made a huge difference in the motor home with the reduction in condensation and mould. The fan comes on even when the microwave door is open and also occasionally helped with general ventilation in very hot weather. Okay, this is more about the fan, so I will say again, the microwave is good and noticeably more quiet than any other we have ever come across.
Quick, hot and easy settings!!
I like this product has its has the perfect settings for everything if you follow instructions, it heats food in minutes and is easy to clean!
I also like the design and colour black and am more than happy with purchase!!
Grilling is a bit hit and miss, but cooking ready meals and pizzas that fit on the rack is easy
Grilling is a bit hit and miss, but cooking ready meals and pizzas that fit on the rack is easy
I replaced a Russell Hobbs microwave with this machine recently and I can’t praise it enough. I chose it because I wanted to be able to stand a package of rice up to cook and it does that perfectly. It is so much more powerful than my last machine cooking food what seems like half the time!
It is easier to clean inside – fewer lumps and bumps.
If you’re debating buying this then do it!
Easy to use
Bought this for my elderly mother-in-law as a replacement for her old Panasonic, she loves it and finds it really easy to use, good choice
Toshiba microwave oven.
What is nice is the ovev/ grill, otherwise it’s an ordinary microwave.
Only had a couple of days but finding my way around it is very experimental at the moment. Thanks to a reviewer who answered my question on how to change power settings, very helpful. Going to look at some recipes on Google and Pinterest and see how I get on as I’d like to use less gas and save some cash with all that’s going on.
Very good microwave
It was bought as a replacement for our old one which, after a long life, finally gave up. My wife really likes this one, better than the old one. It’s not complicated, with a very clear set of instructions; a bit smaller, but that isn’t a problem, it is big enough for what we need, and it is very easy to maintain.
Fantastic microwave
Easy to use and I like that it has little fee
Microwave
Brillant to use and worth the money needed an upgrade
How easy it is to use.Ideal for two people.
This product ticks all the boxes in my opinion and is simple to use and does the job it is intended for.It was bought for a good price.
Microwave great 😀
Excellent. I haven’t had a microwave for a while, so I was looking forward to my replacement. When you get use to it (Doesn’t take long) its easy enough to use. I’ve only wiped the interior clean so far(it’s not dirty enough to require a full scub down) I don’t anticipate any problems with cleaning. All in all I’m happy with my new microwave.
Product is of expected quality
It’s good , ergonomic, but the driver delivered at wrong address they need to read properly, as heavy objects are difficult to xarry from one area to another.. it’s important that they confirm the right address before delivering to prevent stress on persons. I had to beg for help to move my package from the wrong address.
Preset buttons problems
I bought this particularly for the popcorn button but I use a microwave popcorn popper rather than the pre-bagged popcorn. The button only goes for a little over 2 mins and I need to have it go for 3-3.30 mins. When I just use the timer button the popcorn burns in the middle and only pops half the kernels. I don’t know if this is the popper itself (but it worked fine in previous microwave) or the microwave. I tried reducing the power level but still only half the kernels popped in the 3-3.30 time.
Compact and bijou
Cracking little ding
Half size of my old one which lasted 25 years let’s see how the long term survival of this one fairs. It’s a cracking little microwave so far with no complaints other than I prefer a button open mechanism to avoid the noisy door closure
Very happy with my purchase
I bought this microwave to replace my last one which finally broke.
This microwave was a good price, got a discount.
Looks good.
Works as expected.
Instructions easy to follow.
800kw cooks food quickly.
Easy to clean.
12 hour clock though which threw me.
Highly recommended.
Good microwave for price
Great power output
Good range of functions that are easy to use.
Be better if can turn the beeps off though
Fantastic oven, Neat and tidy, a lot of oven for the price.
This oven is the best we have had. great quality great price for a lot of programs easy to use the Rolls Royce of this type easy to clean and looks good
