Toshiba Air Fryer Combo 4-in-1 Countertop Microwave Oven, Smart Sensor, Convection, Mute Function, Position Memory 13.6" Turntable, 1.5 Cu Ft, 1000W, Silver, ML-EC42P(SS)

Oops, I may have just bought the last one! Started off with the brand new shiny model, fancy knobs, sleek look, and all that jazz. Nice little gadget, except it’s actually way smaller than the old model. Yep, they went backwards! Trying to cook for a family in convection-microwave-sized shoebox? Yeah... not gonna work. So, I went retro and grabbed the old, much larger model. At around $200, this thing is a steal. The new one’s dial to set time is neat, though it feels like it could snap off if you look at it wrong, and it’s whisper-quiet, like it’s sneaking around the kitchen at night. But besides that, the old faithful beats it in almost every way. Now, the programmed settings on both? Utterly bonkers. I swear Toshiba’s secret mission is to make microwaving feel like rocket science. Who remembers all those confusing presets? It’s the 21st century, Toshiba! We have smart fridges that can order pizza, how about a microwave that functions without a PhD in buttonology? And the clock? Oh boy. It loses time every time the power blinks, which is like three times a week in my house. I have a computer from the 1970s that remembers the date better than this microwave. Seriously, it’s like a time traveler stuck in a time warp. All in all, though, it’s a great microwave. I now have two of the exact same model in the kitchen which is a blessing, one set of crazy programs to memorize! The convection function is fantastic, so if you can find one still floating around, grab it before I do!

Received and unboxed a few days ago. No damage. Well packaged. Plugged in. Used microwave and convection function. Engaging these options is a little nonintuitive, but I will figure it out. Both the microwave and convection options work great. Toshiba is very quiet when running. Unit replaces a 22 year old Amana Radar Range unit which I loved that died. This unit has the same exterior look and dimensions externally and internally as my dead radar range. Even the control panel is similar. I know many have complained about the air fryer functionality on this Toshiba unit. I do not air fry, so not an issue for me. I always bake items that can be fried instead of air frying with maybe a light spray of oil. Same end result as air frying, maybe a little longer cooking time with little splattering and cleanup versus air frying. The rack that with came with the radar range extended to the edge of the turntable. The ones that came with the Toshiba are not the diameter of the turntable to support a big pizza or larger baking pans or casserole dishes. So I am using the old larger rack which fits perfectly and is more heavy duty. So I think that Toshiba should provide racks that extend to the edge of the turntable. I know this Toshiba unit has sensor options and combo cooking, that some have complained about. Will not use either as I follow instructions on product packaging and recipes and manually set temp, power level and cooking time. So this is not an issue for me either. I would never rely on a preprogrammed sensor/ computer chip to cook my food. Using this as a basic microwave and convection oven works flawlessly, and it is a great replacement so far. Not sure about longevity. However, $244 total cost with tax shipped to me as a Prime member with 7% cash back using my Chase Prime VISA card works for me. The Amana Radar Range which is no longer made cost over $600 more than twenty years ago. Also, some complain that the exterior get too hot. My old Amana got hot on the exterior. This is an appliance that heats up when using convection or air fry. It is counter top. It has to heat in order to cook. Your full size ovens heat up and do get hot on the exterior albeit with maybe more insulation for less heat transfer. Complaints about heat build up are irrational if you want cooked food. Some complain about the repeated "beeps" at the end of the cooking cycle. That sound can be disabled. Read the manual and follow steps to disable. Read and make the adjustment. Why complain when there is a work around? I think many folks want to be able to call a manufacturer to order an item custom designed and programmed for them which is ludicrous and reflects entitlement and maybe laziness or not wanting to "think".

This is a dual Toshiba micro/conv oven. My brother has a similar one and he recommended it. I am still experimenting but so far it has been great. There5so many options, and it does what it says, and does it great. I would definitely recommend this rather than getting just a regular microwave. The extra money is well worth it.

Lorsque j'ai reçu le four la boîte d'emballage était dans une mauvaise condition. J'ai quand même voulu voir l'appareil avec espoir qu'il ne serait pas endommagé et j'ai constaté que le côté droit était renfoncé et le côte gauche avec une un renfoncement aussi dans le haut et une légère bosse. Donc je le retourne le colis mais je suis désappointé c'est beaucoup de problème car c'est lour et pas facile à manier. Michelyne Blais

En primer lugar quiero destacar las funciones que tiene, aparte de "simplemente calentar comida". Esta la función por la que más me llamo la atención que viene con freidora de aire incluida, lo cuál ayuda bastante y evita tener que utilizar aceite (aclaro que no es exactamente el mismo resultado que una de aceite, pero al menos en mi opinión en este apartado no decepciona) y por convección (para quien no conozco, que me incluyo y tuve que indagar bastante, esta básicamente te deja hacer una pizza e incluso carne a un nivel más que aceptable, eso si dependerá que tipo y de que calidad sea el producto que compraste), además de tener la capacidad de descongelar sin calentar (como usualmente sucede que tienes estar al pendiente o al tanteo o la más antigua de todas con agüita caliente, abarca prácticamente cualquier cos: carne, verduras, etc... y al momento de sacarlo del micro no esta ni de lejos caliente, me sorprendió bastante ya que pensé que lo iba a dejar a medias o tibio, pero no todo lo contrario). Finalmente en cuanto estéticamente este me gusto bastante, ya que es no como el típico microondas de toda la vida. En cuanto a practicidad y espacio, tanto el que abarca como el que tiene para los platos le doy un 10 (la versión que yo compre fue de 1.5 pies cúbicos, aclaro porque hay que otras medidas). -Lo único de contras que le encontré es el dichoso manual/instructivo, viene completamente en ingles (para mí no fue problema porque si se ingles, lo comento para las personas que de plano no sepan nada de este, que aún así no causa problemas) que varias opiniones de personas en E.U se quejaban porque casi casi era imposible entenderle a esta cosa por el manual, no digo que este bien el hecho de no explicar a detalle tal cuál las cosas, pero no es el fin del mundo, tranquilamente pueden buscar en YouTube el modelo y marca del microondas o simplemente "Toshiba Microwave" o "Air fry/ convection microwave" -El envío, este lo compre desde Amazon E.E.U.U y al principio y durante un buen tiempo se quedo en el primer punto de seguimiento, en mi caso soy de México y desde que lo compre se tardo aproximadamente de 2 - 3 meses en llegar, contacte al servicio al cliente de Amazon, ellos me mencionaron que debido al precio, tamaño e importancia la logística se tardaba más de lo habitual, y así lo fue, que de hecho por preocupación iba a solicitar un reembolso pero se actualizo y ya me aparecía un seguimiento. Con esto si compran este mismo microondas o uno similar desde E.E.U.U hacía México tengan paciencia y no por querer las cosas al instante lo cancelen, me ahorre cuanto trabajo y esfuerzo con el banco y lo que me hubiera esperado y al final si me llego en buen estado y funciona totalmente después de un tiempo considerable de uso. Espero poder haber sido de ayuda, más que nada porque no hay ninguna opinión de México o tan siquiera en español.

Unlike my previous multi function microwave that required a week of retraining to figure out, this Toshiba has the same functions of a regular microwave and the extra features can be learned in minutes. I really like the bright light inside and the clear safety glass on the door (some others are darkly tinted) so that I can easily see what is going on inside. When I put a cup of coffee in to warm up the turntable brings the handle back to where I left it. The turntable is the same clear glass type as a regular microwave (my old one was metal and Teflon coated which was easy to scrape.) All the other functions and buttons are pretty much the way one is used to so you are in business with almost no learning curve. Another thing I like is it looks the same as a regular microwave which is handy when guests need to use it. My only beef is the Instruction Manual which tells you how to use the various functions but not why and when you would use them. For example there is an Eco function but nothing in the manual tells you what it does (it turns off the display to save a few cents on your power bill). There is also a "combi"function with instructions of what buttons to press. Nothing on why I would need to use this however. I found out elsewhere that this can be used to reheat pizza and have it crispy like it was originally. There is a lot of information online if you know where to look but I wish I didn't have to do that.

Comme vous voyer dans la vidéo la porte est croche et en plus je n’est pas reçu les accessoires qui sont montrer avec ! Déçu de mon achat pour la première fois
