TOSHIBA Countertop Microwave Oven Air Fryer Combo, Inverter, Convection, Broil, Speedy Combi, Even Defrost, Humidity Sensor, Mute Function, 27 Auto Menu&47 Recipes, 1.0 cu.ft/30QT, 1000W

First oven received didn’t work. In process of returning. New product works great! Had a very old microwave. Still getting used to all the various features, but happy.

This is our first multi-function microwave and we are loving it! After about a month of use, here are my pros and cons: Pros: Small footprint - This is the same size as our smaller microwave was and is able to fit in our very small kitchen. Quiet - This is the quietest microwave I have ever used. When my wife is heating up her coffee in the morning, I am unable to hear it running from 15 feet away. It is louder when using the convection/air fry mode because of the fan, but that just brings it up to normal microwave levels (or less) Versatility - We have used all of the modes and it is amazing what can be cooked/reheated in this thing. Being able to microwave something, then air fry something else without swapping out appliances is fantastic. Usability - The buttons are clearly labeled and the knob is intuitive. I also like being able to turn the beeps off when I am using it at night. Cons: Hot surface - We were used to keeping some things on top of our old microwave, but since this one is also a convection oven/fryer, it can get hot on the top when frying things. It also needs a bit more room on the sides and back for air flow, which makes sense for cooling. Cooking codes - The codes for what mode to use (A01 = popcorn, A02 = beverage, etc...) are inside the door and written very small, so trying to read them is difficult. We memorized the ones we use the most. Confusing 'combo' instructions - There is a 'combo' mode which is supposed to use both microwave and convection cooking and it says the tray and rack are OK to use, but you can't use them with microwaving...which breaks my brain a little bit. Looking online it seems many other people feel the same confusion. TLDR: We absolutely love this oven. It is able to quickly and quietly do microwave tasks as well as cook up frozen fries or wontons (or perfect little potatoes!). Highly recommended.

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.

tres bon fonctionnement

Merci

Horrible. I am extremely unsatisfied. This item stopped working and began sparking and smoking within 10 months of use. Amazon, the seller, and Toshiba have been unhelpful in resolving the issue.

No gourmet cook book as promised and advertised

Après 13 mois d’utilisation normale, le four a montré un code d’erreur et a cessé de fonctionner… La garantie est de 365 jours et la compagnie s’en tient au 365 jours, et ce, même si l’office de la protection du consommateur considère qu’un bien acheté doit avoir une durée de vie raisonnable malgré ladite garantie. Malheureusement, les services de réparation me recommandent d’acheter un autre appareil car trop cher à réparer… Bref, bien dispendieux pour une si mince utilisation.
