TOSHIBA Countertop Microwave Oven Air Fryer Combo, Inverter, Convection, Broil, Speedy Combi, Even Defrost, Humidity Sensor, Mute Function, 27 Auto Menus, 1.0 cu.ft, 1000W, Stainless Steel

It took me four tries to finally get the right combo unit. Firstly, I have limited counter space. I wanted an airfryer originally. Got one but it had peculiar issues I was not expecting or what happens when you mix molded plastic with high heat. Decided that the unit I buy must be all metal with limited use of plastics both for recycling latter on and reducing BPA contamination. That's when I decided to look at the combi function appliances. Setting this as the prequel to my review for the purpose of contexting my following comments on this unit. I want to make it obvious That this item has limitation many of which have been written in previous reviews. Had , I had a bigger counter , more space ,etc. I would have made my kitchen gadgetry demands and purchases quite different.Pros'This unit does indeed do all that it is asked to do. It has plenty of power (Wattage) to serve all functions. It is well built , good looking on the counter takes less space than my old microwave. The microwave wattage is larger than my previous one so it does better than my old one. The unit produces no unwanted odors. It has smaller clearance valve to other objects and walls than most of the others, another important factor in my decision. The benefit of the combi functions where I can microwave and airfryer ( convection) or broil at the same time. This is a huge time saver in cooking while at the same time giving a higher desired result than just microwaving food. Personally , I would love to have bought the 1.6 cu ft. the 4 in 0ne model instead , but its size was still to big for my counter. Overall I am extremely pleased and would indeed recommend.Cons'Most who have read the reviews with this model will hear some of the same things regarding this unit> Alas, No mechanical device is perfect either by design or omission for the sake of trying to do to much with one item. So, yes the presets and the controls are a complete boondoggle to the mind and renders simplicity of use to the back of the line. I actually wasn't originally going to buy this, because of this fact alone, and did in fact try another model, one of my many tries. It was one of the highest rated and most expensive one. But it was a clunker to me and didn't at all appear to be built to last, I returned it quickly without a second thought. The number of combinations this unit has for cooking I guess just makes difficult for any controller to be easy and I assume they all suffer in this way. It is manageable and I am gradually gaining confidence in selecting the right combinations of pushes and selections to match my own desired cooking results.Other than this unit is operates flawlessly. Is easy to use and keep clean. I will address one other concern or flaw that some have commented on, "the moisture build up" . Indeed , if one does not pay attention this does indeed happen. It is a minor issue, INMO, that is easily remedied by leaving the door open after using the unit for about 10 mins. It does not happen all the time and is only the result of certain cooking functions and types of food being cooked ( mostly liquid beverages or soups and Microwaving). I assume somehow that this unit has an interior insulating blanket or mat to keep the outside metal from becoming to hot. I am guessing it also inadvertently creates a moisture barrier for the inside. As stated it is only relevant to to easily comprehensible cooking functions and types of food/ beverage which are understood immediately and one knows to not close door after this use and allow for unit to air out. Much like modern washing machines require that the door be left ajar.Overall a great purchase worth the money spent. Thanks.

This Toshiba microwave oven is the most suitable one I have ever used! Its features meet all our needs, from heating, baking, cooking to air frying. This is very powerful and easy to use. It's about the same size as the microwave oven I used before. It can do many things with just a few controls. When heating in a microwave oven, you can also choose the appropriate temperature. I heat the food I bought from the supermarket with air frying to make it crispy. It exceeded my expectations. None of the other combination ovens I have used is as efficient as this one. I was particularly impressed by the thawing. As long as you use a microwave-safe non-plastic plate, the meat will be completely thawed without any cooking. Thank you for your good friend's recommendation.

There should be a zero star option. That is what this piece of junk and headache deserves. Bought this oven on Dec 26 2024 and the basic microwave function stopped functioning around the end of July 2025. Dealing with the Toshiba Customer Support has been a nightmare! They first confirmed a refund, asked for proof of purchase and pictures of the appliance, all submitted within minutes of the 1hour long phone call. Since the refund was confirmed, and not wanting to be without a microwave for weeks (when they said I would receive it), I purchased a new one (went for Panasonic). And then, out-of-the-blue, I received an email to inform me that instead of a refund they will proceed with an exchange. I am now fighting for the refund, but they are no longer responding to emails and I will need to get on the phone call ordeal with their support center again. I will never buy another Toshiba appliance! Never!

We are feeling our way around learning to use this new appliance. I bought my first microwave in the early '70's and I am VERY familiar with the pros and cons of microwave. The added features are getting a lot of use. For a household of just 2 people who don't eat a lot this is a really great purchase. We have done a lot of experimenting with doing very small entrees in this.Which brings up my major gripe. The accompanying cookbook is really impressive at first glance, and should have been a great guide for getting used to the new ways to cook with the appliance. Unfortunately, it is one of the worst little cookbooks I have come across. To begin with, the instructions have absolutely nothing to do with the appliance. The instructions just say "bake" for every single recipe. The shortcut on the upper left hand corner say "conv" for every recipe. Going beyond that, it is very obvious that the photos are not specific to the recipes, but were carelessly downloaded from some other source, with no regard as to whether the ingredients were even similar or if the shape is consistent with the recipe instructions. The recipes themselves are often inaccurate or miss key ingredients or amounts. It is quite obvious that nobody involved with the marketing ever cooked any of these recipes.In a recipe for "Spanish tortilla" it simply indicates "eggs" with no number. The photo obviously includes red and green peppers, which are mentioned nowhere in the recipe. The photo also shows one large tortilla, though the instructions call for dividing the ingredients among 6 cups of a muffin tin. Similarly, the doughnut recipe shows regular doughnuts with holes in them, but the instructions simply instruct to mold the dough into round balls. None of the coooking times are accurate--although this may partly be due to the fact that I am left guessing as to whether I should be using broil, broil-convect, combi, air fry, microwave, or whatever. As I said in the title, fire the editor. He/she totally failed at what might have been one of the best marketing tools for selling the appliance to my friends and relatives.When I bought my Kitchenaid oven/convection oven, the included cookbook got a LOT of use. While I worked my way through that great little cookbook my neighbors, friends, and family soon became very familiar with all the glories of my "magic oven." I expected the same here. Sadly, no. In spite of the book I am learning some great uses of the various settings, but it is all experimentation, complete with the expected number of fails. Nobody is calling this a magic oven, which is too bad because the machine seems to have some really great features. It has only been in the house for a few weeks and I have used it a few dozen times. With a decent cookbook this might have been well worth 5 stars. As it is, I can't really say that it is at all easy to use--though it will be in 6 months time. Nor can I give it full stars for versatility, though I will certainly say that the possibilities are there. In the meantime I am annotating the cookbook in hopes of making it what it should have been when I opened the box.
