Works Great and Priced Right
I've been using this Toshiba countertop microwave for almost three weeks, and so far I have had no issues at all. It works perfectly, heats food evenly, and is very easy to operate. The size is ideal for everyday use, whether reheating leftovers or cooking quick meals. The stainless steel design looks nice in the kitchen, and the overall quality feels solid. Best of all, it comes at a very reasonable price for the features and performance you get. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable microwave without spending a fortune.

So good, we're buying it again.
After 5 years, 1 month, and 3 weeks of daily use, our favorite kitchen appliance has bit the dust. After we stopped crying and said thank you to our dear friend for its years of service, we searched our Amazon purchase history and were elated to see this microwave is still available for purchase. It will be a long two days without it, but we're excited to welcome Toshi Junior to the family. Why are we repurchasing this Toshiba countertop microwave? Until today, it worked perfectly every time, heating food evenly and maintaining its power over the years. It's a nice size. I would consider this full sized (I've never not been able to fit something in it), but it's compact enough to fit on a shelf in our pantry. It's simple to use, the buttons make sense. The glass turntable is nice and easy to clean. The interior never stained even with a certain family member never covering their dish and splattering sauces everywhere on a regular basis. And it's a great value. Highly recommend. Update: The new microwave arrived. I literally clicked "purchase again" from my order history, so we expected to receive the same product. It's slightly different. A little smaller. The handle operates differently (you can't just pull the door open anymore) and the add 30 seconds button doesn't work the same as on the older model. We find this irritating, but if you're not used to the old function, you might not find the new limitation annoying. We still endorse this microwave. It's a good value and it works well. Hopefully this one lasts at least 5 years like the last one did.

I good microwave with a few annoying features
This is a decent microwave. It's reasonable small, powerful, and so quiet I sometimes double check to make sure it's running. There are a few annoying features, however, and they are a major pain. First and foremost, the location of the STOP button is on the bottom right of the control pad, directly below the COOK TIME button. I bought this Microwave on 13 February, and my wife and I are STILL entering the cook time and then dropping our finger down, hitting the STOP button, and cancelling out what we have entered. After 2+ months of heavy use, I would say it is a design issue. The START button is on the bottom left of the keypad. I would humbly suggest to the Toshiba engineers that they reverse those two controls, putting the START button on the right, directly below the POWER button, and moving the STOP button to the left, under the POWER button. The other two features that are a pain are the SOFTEN/MELT and the ECO mode. If you look at the photo of the keypad, you won't find an ECO MODE button anywhere. You need to use the STOP button to enter and exit the ECO (energy saving) mode. Defrost and Soften/Melt functions are both confusing. Good luck using anything but the 1 lb Defrost setting without the operation manual in hand. You won't figure it out on your own. And the Soften/Melt mode is just as confusing. You press the Soften/Melt button up to 5 times (S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5. I have NO IDEA what the difference is between them. And after choosing one of those , you can't just press START. That would be EASY. Nope. Then he instruction manual says the following: "After selecting SC function, press a number pad to to select the weight or portion of food item. Press START to cook. AUTO flashes in the display." Confused? I am. I have no idea what the difference is between SC1 and SC5, or how to use the number pad to select weight or portion. The two things are quite different. So, the bottom line: this is a good quality, compact, powerful microwave. If you want to boil water, time cook, or use the 1 lb defrost, using it is a snap (except for inadvertently hitting the stop button because of its placement). A soon as you want to use more "advanced" functions, you had better have the Instruction Manual handy. And even then, you might still be scratching your head, trying to figure out what everything means and how to use those features. It is unnecessarily complicated. Would I buy it again? Probably not. It works fine. It's just a pain in the butt to use the controls.

Very nice product well worth the money!
I am so happy I purchased this Toshiba microwave has a child proof handle. A child cannot open it. You have to lift up a knob behind the handle to open the door, which is simple for an adult. It has the own off quiet switch so you don’t have to hear the noise when you’re pushing the buttons noise gets on my nerves so I especially bought this one for the noise off switch which you disengage by pressing the number eight key for three seconds nice looking and matches all my appliances in my kitchen great product no problems whatsoever love it!!!

Very powerful
This microwave heats food up faster on the high settings than anything i have ever used. The handle is not very intuitive however, takes some getting used to to open it. Defrost is weird, kinda inconsistent and uneven but functional. Sensor is a little agressive and much slower than just setting time and guessing, but is accurate.

Door cracked in the middle of the night- but Toshiba took care of it!
Original review: While I had it, this was a great little microwave. Compact, cooked rice well and not too loud. But, 3 years in I woke up to a cracked door. No one was using it. Poor quality and should have lasted longer than that. Update: This is a review for additional information on my microwave. I was contacted by Toshiba regarding my previous review, where my door had cracked in less than three years. They were very kind and sent me a new microwave. I had already bought the same exact microwave because, despite the flaw, I do love this model. The door handle is a real handle, and the child lock is easy to press up when you open the door. The rice button makes a perfect pot of rice- no need for a rice cooker. I am noticing that it is not as bright inside as the previous one. It's a great size, not too big. I am really impressed by Toshiba's responsiveness and kindness in their replacement. My close friend, who has two young boys but not much extra money, was thrilled to get a new one. Thank you, Toshiba.

Disappointing experience with claim handling
Microwave Failed After 7 Months – Claim handling is still ongoing. I purchased this microwave in mid-November 2025. Unfortunately, in June 2026, the turntable stopped spinning after only about seven months of use. I contacted Toshiba technical support (Midea America Corporation) and, after providing all of the requested information, I was informed that repair service was not available and that I would instead receive a reimbursement check. At first, I was told that the process would take up to 21 business days, with an expected completion date of July 14, 2026. When I called again on July 21, 2026, I was given different information. I was told that it typically takes 7–10 business days for the check to be issued, followed by another 10–21 business days for delivery. During that call, the representative stated that I should receive the check by the upcoming Thursday. Shortly afterward, I received another call indicating that the check might arrive even sooner, possibly as early as tomorrow (Wednesday.) Throughout this process, I have had to make numerous follow-up calls to obtain updates. I have not received any proactive follow-up phone calls or emails regarding the status of my claim. For example, during my most recent call, I requested an email confirming the reimbursement timeline provided by the customer service representative. I was told that the email would be sent immediately after the call ended. However, more than three hours later, I still had not received it. I wanted to share my experience for anyone considering purchasing this microwave. While I appreciate that the warranty claim was approved and that the company is offering reimbursement rather than denying the claim, I am disappointed that the product failed in less than a year and that communication throughout the claims process has been inconsistent and required repeated follow-up on my part. Overall: The microwave failed after only seven months of use. Although the warranty claim appears to be moving forward, the lack of consistent communication and the need for multiple follow-up calls have made the experience frustrating. It is now August 4th and there is still no check nor a follow up after case has been escalated.

All the functions work better than I expected
Best microwave I have bought in a decade. All the features work great. Especially the baked potato function and the reheat function. The only thing that took some getting used to was the button on the handle to open the door. It’s the first microwave I have owned like this. The first few times I used it I almost pulled it off the shelf because I forgot you don’t just pull the door open like my other ones.

Great microwave oven
I previously purchased the larger 1.6c Toshiba microwave, but it was HUGE, and very cumbersome to move and fit anywhere, despite taking careful measurements before purchasing, but even worse, you could not see the keypad at all because it was black with gray numbers, needless to say, it was returned and this microwave was purchased to replace it. I can't express how much easier it is to see the keypad for this microwave oven. This oven fits better, it doesnt have that huge "bulge" in the back of it that they never include in the measurement specs, and it us super quiet, you can barely hear it operating. It also has twice the presets that the larger more expensive oven had. It cooks really well, and is noticeably more powerful than our old 1000w microwave. I cant find anything to complain about with this oven, so I will recommend it.

Funcional y elegante
Es un horno muy funcional y además elegante; no tuve la precaución de tomar medidas de la altura del horno, por lo que tuve que colocarlo en otro lugar, así que la recomendación es que no omitan ninguna de las medidas.
