Title: What I needed.. Quiet
Review: This microwave is very quiet. I'm not crazy about how it opens. When u pull the handle the whole microwave move. I have learned to hold the microwave when opening. Otherwise, I'm very pleased. It is quite. Heats evenly. Has a nice alert when the food is ready.Heats evenly, nice options for heating. Easy to operate. Cons: when opening the door handle..u have to hold the microwave so I doesn't move. Not sure why it moves so easily. I will try to find something to put under the little feet to keep it from moving. Otherwise, pleased.

Title: Was not prepared for this microwave
Review: 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. Amazon 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.

Title: Adequate, not Impressive
Review: (UPDATE Broil/Grill function)Adequate, not Impressive. Outer dimensions pretty much standard, but interior oven is very big. And heavy. Interior is metallic like a toaster oven, not a white enameled finish like a microwave oven.- MICROWAVE function is good - can calibrate slow and sensitive cooking times with the power levels. 100% Power is pretty strong. I have only used 80% or 90% so far.- AIR-FRY / BAKE function - not yet impressed, Takes as much time to preheat this tabletop appliance as it does for the oven in a stand alone range. Top surface of this model gets very hot - same as a toaster oven would get, so you cannot set or store anything directly on top of this appliance. Need to buy a microwave rack that has a shelf that hovers 2-3 inches above the top of the oven.- NO ALERT BEEP when Preheat has reached its designated temperature. Took 12 minutes to reach 300-degrees and I had to use a kitchen timer to check on the temperature display every 3 minutes.- BROIL/GRILL function. Customer Service Rep says overhead heating element does not turn Red when broil temperature has been met. Took 10 full minutes to turn a single slice of white supermarket bread medium brown. This is much slower than my toaster oven.-MUST BE MINDFUL of the type of material going into the oven. I can see a lot of people accidentally inserting paper, plastic, or other flammable material for the Broil, Bake, or Air Fry function a result of the habitually shoving disposable containers into a microwave.- USER MANUAL is goofy. It reads "Enter correct time of day" throughout. What the book really means is "Enter cooking time (seconds or minutes)" How this misleading wording got past Toshiba's translation dept is inexplicable.- A Push-button to open door, instead of having to yank it out/push in (and shake whole appliance) would have been a better design

Title: Easy-to-use
Review: I like the straight forward ease of operation. Just the right size for my kitchen. Actually it's the quietest microwave oven that I have ever owned. Plus the price was affordable and it looks cool. Toshiba has made a truly quality product. I would recommend this model with confidence. It was also delivered when they promised. I use it daily.

Title: Very happy with this purchase!
Review: Before I bought this microwave, I did a fair amount of research, and this one seems to be at the top of most lists. My last microwave was roughly the same price point, but it died after about seven years. Evidently technology has improved by leaps and bounds, because this microwave kicks my old one all the way to the dumpster. The heating is fast and relatively even. Thereâs no overcooked edges making an exploding mess with cold middles. I use the sensor reheat the most and it does a good job. It also looks like there is a way to turn the sound off if you donât like the beeping (I havenât tried yet). I am really happy with this microwave (and honestly, pleasantly surprised compared to my old microwave).

Review: I was going through my past orders and didn't realize I hadn't reviewed this yet, which is crazy because I feel like evangelizing about it, I love it that much.I've had this oven for 3 years now, and I couldn't possibly be happier with it. It functions well, it's really easy to use and clean, and best of all NO BEEPING. The silent operation of this oven is its best feature and the primary reason I ordered it. I know most people are probably happy to operate it with the beeping sounds, but if having the option to silence all beeping sounds is as essential to you as it was to me then this is your oven.Once in awhile when the power goes out I'll have to reset the silent mode when I reset the clock, but other than that I never hear any beeping from it whatsoever. Not when the buttons are pressed, not when the cooking cycle is done.I've seen some reviews saying it's loud when cooking, but it's no louder than any other microwave - I don't know what these people are talking about. All microwaves make some noise when cooking.

Title:
Review: Have had this microwave for about a month now, bought it to replace my 20-year old Panasonic that had suddenly started taking much longer to heat. Chose this because it also has the convection/air fryer function. The 'regular' oven function works great - heats fast (minutes) and cooks well (chicken wings, roasted garlic) - very useful alternative to using a full oven. The microwave timer is set with a dial, and changes time increments as you pass 60 seconds, 5 min, etc. This is a bit annoying, but only because I am used to entering an exact number on the keypad of my last oven. Still getting used to the individual features and "quirks' of this oven, so I keep the manual close by. Clock very easy to set. Stainless steel interior is easy to clean, but recommend always covering the top of 'messy' food as the ceiling of the oven has an element, making it harder to access for cleaning.
