Review: Was not prepared for this microwave - Allow me to paint you a story of our time before this microwave. My husband and I have gone through exactly 2 microwaves in our 11 year relationship before landing on this one. Our first was a tiny thing made in 2004 that could barely manage cup o' noodle. It finally died sounding like the cries of a thousand whales back in late 2017. It had a good long life of burnt popcorn and cold reheated food. We went without a microwave because we were dirt broke at the time from finally becoming homeowners (oof our savings), and then my in-laws graced us with their microwave that *they* had gotten as a wedding gift in Canada in.. 1988. I used to say that the microwave was almost as old as I was until we found the manufacturing date was April 1988. Dang, the microwave was now officially one month older than me. Still had to deal with uneven cooking, burnt popcorn or half popped bags, and a defrost function that only seemed to work half the time and literally cook the food the other half. This beast of a microwave is an enigma in the fact that it has somehow survived all these years without even needing anything replaced. Honestly the microwave still "works". I can relate heavily to this microwave. After the last few years of me completely swearing off of trying to make microwave popcorn, my husband complaining about even more burnt popcorn and unpopped kernels at the same time, I finally asked if we could manage to scrape some money together to get an actual working microwave. After much debating, I was tasked with researching a good microwave that was big enough and mostly inexpensive enough. I had heard a bit about this microwave and a few others and ultimately decided on this one. The price was right, the size was perfect, the functionality was great, being able to turn off literally all the beeping was fantastic. Unfortunately the first one we got was mostly DOA and it was really disappointing, especially since I had to move a microwave that I'm sure weighed about 50lbs, I wish I was joking. desertcart took care of the return and replacement real easy and quick, and the new-new microwave came today. The first test was popcorn. Oh boy. Since everyone says "don't use the popcorn button", I definitely didn't. Unfortunately the microwave did burn the bag of popcorn at full power. So, I decided to actually use the popcorn button. I hit the popcorn button twice (setting for a 3oz bag) just to make sure it would have enough time to heat up and pop. Oh boy. I was not prepared for what happened. The popcorn actually popped! And it only took maybe a minute and a half! No burnt popcorn *and* most of the kernels were popped. Our toddler rejoiced that mommy had actually popped a bag of popcorn, "Yay! You did it mommy!" Second, I defrosted a 1lb package of frozen ground beef. Woo, that was a breeze. Set the defrost for the weight and let it go, though it did warm the edges a bit too much but it was quick and didn't cook it like our last microwaves. Third and most terrifying. Before this microwave, I had gotten used to putting a mug of coffee/tea/water/whatever to heat/reheat for a minute or more and it not even being hot-hot. I stuck a mug of water (with a few tapioca pearls in it) in the microwave to test and set it for one minute, after a short time I glanced into the microwave and discovered it was actually boiling. A very loud proclamation of "Oh my god!" rang from myself in the kitchen. I promptly called my husband over to also observe what the mug of water was doing. He also loudly proclaimed "Oh my god!" In short: I can't believe what I used to consider "normal" for a microwave. This one is more than leaps and bounds better than what we "had to just deal with" in a time of penny pinching and saving money. We're finally mostly comfortable and were in desperate need of a good quality microwave. In very short: I love this microwave.
Review: One awesome microwave! - Bought this microwave when we moved into a new place that did not already have one. It's of nice size, so it fits standard dinner plates, heaped up with food easily. It looks good and is super easy to figure out when using it for the first time. The best part- it gets your food HOT and it does so FAST! We now live a condo that has a microwave above the stove, and I use this one in my garage for warming up snacks and such while I am out there working on projects.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it talk to you?**
A: I am going to clear up a small misconception here.  I am a totally blind man myself, and I have purchased this product knowing the feature set and I can tell you it doesn't talk.  This is a microwave that simply connects through a wi-fi connection and uses the MSmartHome app along with alexa to control the unit.  The alexa device will do the talking.  One has to follow the given instructions to connect the unit to the app and  the wifi to get it to work.  It doesn't have to talk to be used by us blind people unless you want one with a voice built in and there is only one or two I know of that have that feature.

**Q: does the interior Light stay on while cooking AND when you open the door?**
A: Yes

**Q: does light come on when door is opened?**
A: Yes and also when in use. Goes off when not in use.

**Q: Where are the vents on this model (i.e., how many inches from the front surface? Would like to build it but not compromise ventilation.**
A: Hi friend, thank you for your interests in Toshiba EM131A5C-SS. Here are our answers to your question. 
When you are facing the microwave, the vent is on the right side of the back of the microwave and on the left side of the microwave, one is the air inlet and the other is the air outlet.
Actually, this is a Countertop Microwave Oven, we do not recommend you use this model for any built-in application as it was not designed for that type of installation. However that will be OK if you make a proper installation, a minimum clearance of 3.0 inches (7.5cm) is required between the oven and any adjacent walls. Also, one side must be completely unenclosed.
Hope the information provided above could answer your concerns. If we could be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us via our phone number 855-204-5313 or write email to us at customercare@us.toshiba-lifestyle.com. Thanks again for your trust and confidence in Toshiba, and have a nice day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full featured microwave
*by M***C on November 4, 2025*

Have had it now for three months. Works great, perfect size. Has all the features of a under cabinet unit and sufficient power for everyday operations. There are many more complex operations with program instructions in the manual that I don’t think I will ever use. If you don’t use these often, you will need the manual for step by step instructions. Operation is quiet. Only thing I dislike is the confusing placement of the very small power level and custom cook time cycle buttons directly above the start and stop buttons. Since they are used often, these buttons should have been prominently displayed at top of keypad rather than almost hidden at bottom of keypad. They don’t even look like separate buttons. Poor location design but, overall, this is a great microwave priced reasonably.
