TOSHIBA Countertop Microwave Oven with Inverter, 2.2 Cu.Ft, 1200W

For those in the know, Panasonic has been the go-to brand for microwave ovens for a long time. Something like 90% plus of all of the microwave ovens in the world are manufactured by just three companies, with Panasonic almost the only company doing any real R&D on them. Panasonic invented inverter power control for microwaves, sensor cooking, and a laundry list of other things we take for granted in our microwaves. So why did I buy Toshiba this time? Because Toshiba did it BETTER. Toshiba's panel features one-touch buttons for cook times from thirty seconds to six minutes, and all of its most important sensor cook modes—the ones you'll use most often—are two button presses. Cooking frozen vegetables? FRZ VEG, START. And that's it. On the Panasonic that this replaced, that took eleven button presses. Microwave popcorn? POPCORN, START. And there's one other VERY IMPORTANT thing that this Toshibs has that almost no other microwave oven with comparable features on the market has: A DOOR HANDLE. Yes, to open the door, you grab the handle, lift the safety interlock latch, and pull. Just like any normal door. You don't need one hand to push a stupid mechanical push button, and the other to pull the door open by its edge because the door open button linkage is sticking again and the door doesn't have a handle. By the time the previous microwave failed (a non-repairable fault in its control panel), I was heartily sick of that stupid door-open button. So looking for an oven that had a PHYSICAL DOOR HANDLE, as well as the cooking features I wanted, was actually one of my top shopping features. Toshiba offered that physical handle. Nobody else did, in an oven in this class. One caveat: The first oven we received had a fault, and we had to return it. Toshiba USA customer service is an absolute pain in the nether regions to deal with. Be aware.

The micro wave purchased from Amazon Prime in May of 2025 has been great until 3 weeks ago when it stopped working. examination by licensed technicians revealed an internal burned connection with char. I think it should still be under warranty. I have purchased an identical replacement from Amazon Prime which is working fine. The May of 2025 Toshiba is in the shipping crate the new one came in. What to do? Willy Schwenzfeier container that the new one came in. ? under warranty, Refund? it is repairable and you may wish to pick it up

I purchased this microwave 1 year and 1 month ago. I have absolutely loved it. Until last week. On 2 separate occasions it shut off before finishing. I looked over it thinking it was due to a storm the first time. Now, it has shut off again and will not turn back on. I have changed outlets to make sure it wasn't that. It wasn't. If you don't mind spending $240 for a microwave that works for only a year, then go ahead and purchase this one.

Great microwave, works perfectly, very big and has child locks on door and key pad, looks great, very quiet, would recommend highly

17 Jun 2026: Toshiba to honor the warranty, decided to send another equipment. The new equipment is working well. I wanted to give the benefit of doubt and decided to make it 4 stars. *********************** Gave 1 or ZERO stars. I bought this microwave as a replacement for the LG wall mount that on me. We got all accessories to put it inside the wall mount, and it worked for some time. It was my mistake not to have got the insurance. It started sparking last month (13+ months) and I went on the web to find out what it. Internet resources told me that it is the paint that might rust rusted letting the microwave spark from inside. Later I had to dismantle it and set it aside and get a new one. In the past I'd used Toshiba products and this was disappointing. Please do not buy it.

The Microwave worked fine until this June 2nd, 3 months out of warranty, bought new March of 2024. I called Toshiba, and told them the problem, the door latch safety switch failed. I have worked in the Electrical; and Electronics field for over 60 years, I have built 8 computers and 2 TV's, I know what I am doing. I checked first on reports and the door latch assembly is cheap and has a bad track record on failures. I called Toshiba twice and they could not even find the part number I gave them. Of course not because it is supplied by a company called Medea so it is their part number, but the tech could not cross reference it. I will never purchase another Toshiba appliance, and neither will 45 friends and family members because they all look to ME for advice on any technical. Here is Toshiba's answer to me after my second call to them: Richard Jun 10, 2026, 1:27 PM EDT Hi Richard, Thank you for reaching out to us. We do appreciate your call. The door latch switch assembly you were inquiring about is not in the Midea website. Your warranty has also expired and the responsibilities now falls on you to source the defective part. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day. Obviously, Toshiba, you care nothing about either SAFETY or your customers. Toshiba decided to send me a new replacement Microwave which arrived today, July 25th, 2026. I am very happy that TOSHIBA management reviewed my email more extensively and decided a replacement was warranted., Thank you Toshiba, this is great customer service.

Great size and powerful Definitely made for the family. It's very quiet and not heavy at all. Easy to place onto the counter, yet heavy enough not to move when you pull the door open. The new child lock does get annoying and should be able to be removed or disengaged. Overall, very a great purchase.

Well I took a picture and it knocked off my previous review. Hopefully I don't post twice. It did arrive completely undamaged. I ordered the 2.2 I wanted a larger microwave. I live in an apartment and it fit good on my counter. Just slightly bigger than my old Panasonic one. I didn't buy another Panasonic because of the bad reviews on their new ones. the main one I didn't like was the peeling of the inside of their microwave. My old one still works and it's over 20 years old it's downstairs incase anything happens to this one. I wanted to try the new inverter tech. I did get the extra insurance on this one because there is bad reviews on every microwave it seems. this one sounds great so far,works great and looks very nice. I will come back on here and let you know if anything happens to it in the coming years. I believe in honest reviews. I really like it so far it works great. Toshiba and Panasonic need to work on the quality of their microwaves before they ruin their reputations and people no longer want to buy their products. I couldn't go with Panasonic this time because too many people listed having trouble with inside burning and peeling of the inside. I almost cancelled this order but I'm glad I bought it. I do really love it so far.
