I bought this microwave to replace a very old microwave that had issues. My old microwave's keypad was failing and the paint on the inside was badly rotting away. So it was time to buy a new microwave.
I also purchased a microwave plate cover to protect this new microwave from splatter. The splatter is what caused my old microwave's paint to chip away. If you have food splatter (like pasta sauce) inside the microwave, then you turn the microwave on. You'll cook the paint job. Over time the paint will start to chip away.
So i bought this plate cover and so far it's keeping the microwave clean:

Pros:
- Cooking -
It cooks really well. I was surprised to find out this cooks a bit better than my old microwave. Seems to cook more evenly. Cooks just as fast as my old microwave (similar wattage)
My old microwave: 1,000 watts
This Toshiba: 1,100 watts
- Touch pad (East To Use) -
Nice simple touch pad. It works well. Lots of quick touch options. The "One touch start" is great, press 1 for 1 minute, 2 for 2 minutes, etc... good for older people. Not complicated to figure out.
- Instruction Label -
It has a label on the inside the microwave with info / instructions for cooking different things (defrost, melt, popcorn, etc) so you have that info available to you anytime.
- Noise Level (Cooking noise) -
It does make noise like all microwaves do but the noise it makes is actually pretty quiet. Much more quiet than my old microwave.
The noise it makes is an odd buzzing noise when you turn it on to cook. At first i thought that buzzing noise it was making was a bad sign but that's just the noise it makes. Not an issue. Just a new sound to a different microwave.
- Keypad Beep noise -
You can turn off the beep noise of the keypad. I turned it off to test it, it works. But i turned it back on just because i then realized i enjoy hearing the beep noise feedback.
- Child safety -
There is a safety option, at first i thought if i activate it, it would prevent the door from opening but that's not how it works. If you activate it, you can still open the door. But the microwave won't function until you turn off the lock via the keypad. A little lock icon will appear on the LCD screen to let you know it's locked.
So after every time you finish using the microwave you will have to turn the lock option on. When you want to use it, turn lock option off. If you have kids it might be worth the extra steps to lock / unlock it, otherwise it's not worth using.
- Microwave color -
It looks stylish. Especially if you have black / chrome around the kitchen. It's also fine with white also.
Cons:
- The stainless steel on the door is a "finger print magnet". If you touch it, it will create smear marks. The handle has the chrome also.
(i included a photo of that)
- Color options -
One thing i noticed when trying to buy a microwave. The color options are very limited.
I do wish this microwave had more color options. I originally was hoping to get a 100% white microwave or at least get this same color microwave but have the black be in the color of white or even 100% silver but it's not an option. It's fine though. It still looks pretty good.
- Clock -
Not really a huge complaint, but if you unplug the microwave, the clock gets reset automatically. I think this is an issue with all microwaves. Would be nice if it could save the time when not plugged in. Because if you accidentally unplug it, then you have to set the time again.
Summary:
I haven't fully tested ALL the cooking features. But for basic everyday use of quickly heating / cooking things, it works well, cooks well. Great microwave. Worth spending money on as it's an investment that should last for many years.

Great deal
Our over the range $600 microwave finally died after 7 yrs so I broke down and got this one, because this busy household can't go a day without one. I love the 30 second button. Pop your food in, press the 30 second button once for 30 seconds or if you need more time you press it once for each additional 30 seconds. Super quick for us lazy folks. Cooks food fast and doesn't make bread hard. I'm not sure I can say that about our expensive one. This is a great deal, as I saw the exact Toshiba Microwave in a popular retail store for $50 more. It has lots of preset buttons , although I've not used them all. Potato, rice, frozen pizza, veggies, frozen entree, sensor reheat, soften/melt, custom cook, popcorn, 1hr defrost, and more. Includes a timer button and a favorite button as well. The black and chrome design is aesthetically pleasing and goes well with our all stainless steel appliances. It was easy to set up, and comes with a glass turntable. You can even mute the beep sound it makes every time you press a button. Nice for those early mornings when hubby is sleeping and I don't want to wake him with the sound of the microwave beeping. I definitely recommend this Toshiba Microwave. Don't think twice , it's a great price.
