  • Was not prepared for this microwave
Size: 1.6 Cu.ft
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. ... show more

  • Had for 8 months....
Size: 1.20 Cu.ft
This microwave is better quality than expected. Not that I was looking for cheap, but it was above good. Every feature described is great functionality and easy to use. Great size for the countertop. Quiet as well, i liked that.

  • Quiet and efficient
Size: 1.20 Cu.ft
Had a huge KitchenAid for 15 years when if finally bit the dust. This new Toshiba is so quiet and does the job. I do like using the power levels for various types of heating and could not figure out how to get this one to work. Finally figured out that you have to press cook time>(enter time)>PL. You can push PL repeatedly until you get to the percentage you want. Hope that helps anyone having trouble with it. I was on the line to customer service when my husband figured it out. Other than that it is a nice appliance and looks great in my kitchen. ... show more

  • A countertop microwave that is a joy to use
Size: 1.2 Cu.ft
I'd say that over the past year, we've gone through 5 different microwaves by various brands. And after experimenting with all of them, we settled on this Toshiba EM131A5C-BS model. And why? Well, to begin with, all the other Microwave units did not have a handle (and we love handles). They were all flat in the front, and you had to open the door by first depressing a child-safety lock button, and then pushing the open/close button on the front panel (please read on about the child safety locks). After the door unlocked, you were handling the doors with your hands, and eventually they got smudged and greasy, which meant more cleaning. Secondly, there is child safety lock scenario - which bugs the heck out of us. We have no children (or grandchildren) - we're senior citizens - and when we get finished microwaving a dish, we don't want to have to look around for a way to unlock a child safety lock. In one microwave (a Panasonic model) when a dish was finished, you had to first push a child safety unlock button, then you had to push another button to open the door. This is the case with many Panasonic and GE microwave units. With the Toshiba, the child safety lock is not engaged at all unless you want to turn it on. So right out of the box, to open the door, all you is grab the handle, while simultaneously pushing up on the red button (which automatically happens when you grab the handle), and wallaaaaaa - the door is open. No having to push any buttons. Furthermore, on one of the Panasonic units, no matter how much we tried, there was no unlocking the child safety lock feature - and that was a $250, much larger unit. Thirdly, this microwave is very intuitive to operate. It just makes sense. And it's attractive also. So yes, we found out that the Toshiba microwave units functioned (and looked) the best overall. ... show more

  • Small but Powerful Microwave
Size: 1.2 Cu.ft
This little microwave might be small, but it packs a punch. It heats most dishes up in a minute or less and evenly heats food as it cooks. It's easy to clean, has a removeable glass turntable and its size fits perfectly on my small counter. I like the locking door feature as well. The hidden button in the top of the handle is easy to press as you open the door but will not come open if a child pulls on the bottom of the handle. Excellent purchase I'd be willing to make again if needed. ... show more
