Simple and effective. I love the door handle as apposed to the press button other brands have to open the door – it works a lot better.

We searched endlessly for a new microwave for our new home and happened to come across a Wirecutter article (do a web search for it) where they took some of the most popular microwaves and put them through a ton of tests. The Toshiba models were at the top of the list for even cooking (use potatoes for testing), best popcorn performance with the least amount of kernels left at the end, good defrost performance, intuitive easy to use controls and their one year warranty you supposedly don’t send the unit back, rather you provide them with a receipt and they issue you a refund cheque which is much appreciated. So far we love the unit as it’s easy for our kids to use as it has that basic 1980’s style control layout not one of these new ones that tries to be some science fiction 2120 food preparation units. Popcorn bags come out perfect and reheating food is nice and even. First Toshiba microwave I’ve ever owned and I don’t know I’ll ever go back to Panasonic after this.

The turntable in my 15 year old Sharp, stopped working and the outside of the microwave was getting really hot. I decided that it was time for a change. After a lot of product comparisons, I chose this Toshiba.
The size is exactly what I wanted. The oven looks good and is very stable on my counter top. I have no issues with the handle, even though my Sharp just had a button to push, to open the door. It also doesn’t weigh that much.
My major issue are the functions. There is a lot you can do with this microwave. But although it is the same wattage as my old oven, it just doesn’t heat as well. Something that took 10 minutes in the old one, takes about 13-15 in this one. The automatic popcorn setting is ridiculous. Cooking time is about 1 min and 15 seconds. I had to put the popcorn back in for another minute. It really didn’t come out very edible.
I am not technologically challenged at all, but I just don’t find this oven intuitive. It’s a bit too complicated and lacks basic heating logic! I never know what the actual power level is, there are too many steps for a lot of the functions and in general, you have to actually memorize most of the functions – or constantly refer to the manual. I find one of the easier functions is the sensor reheat. So far most of the items have heated up very well, although you should keep an eye on the food and check it. I nearly had a bowl of soup boil over.
My favorite feature is actually the timer. It’s easy to use, especially compared to my old oven. Setting the clock isn’t an issue either.
Please note that I am doing a practical comparison of this oven, to 3 other ovens which I use regularly. They are older and all are much more user-friendly.
A positive note; for anyone who has eyesight issues, you can easily operate the function buttons without using reading glasses, especially once you are used to the placement of the buttons. Also, the manual is well written and easy to understand.
Overall, I would probably recommend this oven. I am pretty sure that I will get used, after I’ve had it longer (I have only had it for about a week). I just hope that this oven lasts as long as the others I have owned.

I has bought another microwave oven a month before this one. That one boasted of being superior in “inverter technology” but turned out to be a pain and took forever to heat food. So I returned that one and bought this. This Toshiba microwave oven is so good. Very quiet and powerful. Food hests evenly. Easy to use and does exactly what each button states. It is built sturdy and I am sure it will last for many years. I think it is the best microwave oven I have ever owned.

A Big Thanks to the vendor who shipped from the US to Sudbury Ontario well with in the shipping rates!!
As for a review, this Convection Microwave oven compares to my LG 2008 model that I purchased for$700+ Canadian .
Mom’s Panasonic has been failing over the years because the quality has dropped off…Not a good brand anymore.
Repairs after repair…This Toshiba Microwave Convection oven has a strong 4+star review on both U.S/ Can sites!!
Mom’s informed me that after the slight learning curve/ comparison….The 2 round racks lack non slip feet. Placing a pan or tray on them causes them to slide around so you have to re adjust them so not to touch the sides of the oven.
She mentioned that it ( the outside) seems tinny sounding….My LG does too..So it’s just the way they’re made. I’ve said that it’s the quality of the inner workings that counts…. Would I buy one for my self?? …Yes… I bakes, re heats quite well.
This oven has Combination cooking features and a bunch of pre sets to do most anything so you DON’T have to use the Big Stove much…. Thanks for bringing this Brand to Amazon.ca!!😁

Update: After nearly two years of use this microwave oven is going strong and I am still super satisfied with it. Highly recommended.

So far so good! The kitchen is going to be renovated late this summer, and our old GE microwave which came with the house needed to be replaced to match. (The GE was working well and adequate, but was a bit of a fashion faux pas in any environment.)
After reading lots of reviews for mid-sized microwaves, I decided to try this Toshiba. The kitchen will feature a black sink and black commercial faucet, with light gray countertop with dark veins/patterns, the floor will be dark grey tile. So the colour and exterior styling of this Toshiba fits right in.
More important are a couple of things I’ve noticed in the short period I’ve had this unit.
First, it is quiet! At least it is much quieter than the old GE. Second, the various settings seem to work well. I used the sensor reheat yesterday evening for the first time and it worked very well. I have yet to try any of the other auto settings; I’ve never used many such settings in the past. But this little guy has me intrigued for some strange reason.
One or more reviews stated they could not get the beeper turned off even when following the instructions. It DOES work; just press the #8 on the keypad long enough. The trick is to hold the key press long enough. The manual states 3 seconds, but I think it is more like 4 seconds. This setting will change back to default if the power goes out and the unit resets, but that’s to be expected.
All-in-all I’m very happy so far. As I get more practice with it I will try to remember to update this review. I’ve always been happy with most Toshiba products, including a 39” LED television that I purchased from Amazon a few years ago.

This review is for the 1.5 microwave/convection combo. It seems average size to me, not overly large but I’m used to a built-in and this is smaller than that! I bought this as a gift for my Mom as her new house didn’t have a built in microwave and the idea of an extra oven for holidays appealed to her. It included 2 racks, turntable, turntable post/mount, and a small instruction book. We tried all settings immediately as we didn’t want a surprise later when it’s to late to send back. We removed the glass turntable and plastic post/mount before trying the convection and combo settings. The convection setting did take about the same time as my oven to preheat, I did get the plastic smell but I got that with my regular oven the first time when I bought it new and consider that normal for first time use. The outside got pretty warm but I could still put my hand on it and it was not as warm as a convection toaster oven I own. The rear by the fan also did not get as warm as the sides and top during operation. I would suggest using common sense with this device and not using metal on the microwave or combo setting and removing the turntable since it’s mount is plastic when using combo or convection. A good set of glass casserole dishes would be ideal, along with a convection oven cookbook that gives helpful conversions as well as recipes. My best advice is get to know how it cooks, I have never had two ovens, especially convection ovens cook the same. Happy cooking!

I was looking for a mid size microwave with a good inverter and sensor reheat. There are not many to choose from that will fit my counter space. The Toshiba replaced a 12 year old Panasonic inverter. This one heats more evenly and defrosts better than the old unit. Newer features are also good, such as turning the buzzer off. We like this microwave and consider it an upgrade from what we had.

Don’t often write reviews for general goods but this one deserves it.
Microwave interfaces are usually terrible. The Toshiba is amazing. buttons 1-6 give 1-6minutes respectively with a single touch! Which is 98% of what you need. Need an extra 30s then the start button will add that for you.
The Pièce De Résistance has to be the fact you can turn all the beeps off. So making that late night snack doesn’t wake the house up or need you to open the door 1s before the end. Magical! Though I have forgotten about what I was microwaving a couple of times because it is fairly quiet and in a busy kitchen you can’t hear it.
The final awesome point is you can turn off the clock display so to save that mW of energy. I do wish though that it would do 24hr time but it is a minor quibble.
There are loads of other buttons but frankly all I press is the 1,2,3 and Start buttons.

This model has very easy to use and convenient control features. 90% of the time, we push one button to start the microwave. we really like that the finish does not show fingerprints like our previous stainless steel microwave did. The unit is powerful enough to be reasonably fast, yet space saving size and tall enough inside for anything we want to use it for. The only negative so far is the custom defrost cycles are way too aggressive, actually starting cooking both beef and chicken about 1/2 way through the recommended time – not good. If I enter about 50% of the actual weight of the item, the recommended time is about right. Very good value at $110.

The size is great. Noise is a lot less than my last one. The controls are really convenient for quick cooking. A button for melting or softening button to 1 lbs. button for defrosting. The front is anti smudge. It came quick. I did buy on sale, but it was worth the money. It is quiet, convenient buttons, hardly any cleaning, and looks great. I would buy again.
