TOSHIBA Countertop Microwave Oven, 0.9 Cu Ft, 900W

Have it on the counter in my condo kitchen. Makes a little noise but I got used to it and do not notice it now. It works well. Hasn’t let me down yet. I have had it a few months. I use it mostly for making myself hot herbal tea, and reheating food. I seldom actually cook with a microwave.

Unobtrusive. Small footprint. Love that we can shut off the the sound and the stand by display (when you press the button to set the time, the display will come on again). It was the right price. Does it’s job well. Didn’t feel we would get our money’s worth getting a more expensive and flashy microwave. Will buy again or recommend to a friend.

Me gusta su apariencia metálica le da muy buena vista. El producto funciona como debe ser. Es básico pero muy funcional si no utilizas mucho el microondas para cocinar.

Great value for the money! It has been working great so far. It cooks the food thoroughly, it’s fairly quiet compared to other brands I’ve had, and it’s easy to clean. The control pad is very legible and easy to operate.

As someone who values efficiency and style in every aspect of my kitchen, I recently had the pleasure of incorporating the TOSHIBA ML-EM25P(SS) Compact Microwave into my culinary space, and I must say, it has been a game-changer.

From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by the sleek stainless steel design, which seamlessly complements the aesthetic of my kitchen. The compact size is perfect for my countertop, saving valuable space while still offering ample room inside for all of my heating and cooking needs.

What sets this microwave apart is its intuitive functionality. The sound on/off option allows me to customize my cooking experience, whether I prefer a quiet kitchen ambiance or the reassuring beep of a finished meal. The easy-to-use control panel and digital display make it simple to navigate through the various cooking settings and presets, ensuring perfect results every time.

I’ve found the 0.9 cubic feet capacity to be just right for my daily cooking needs, whether I’m reheating leftovers, popping popcorn for movie night, or defrosting ingredients for a last-minute meal. The rotating turntable ensures even heating throughout, while the powerful performance ensures quick and efficient cooking every time.

Another feature that I appreciate is the energy-saving eco mode, which helps reduce energy consumption without sacrificing performance. This not only saves me money on my energy bills but also aligns with my commitment to sustainability in every aspect of my life.

In conclusion, the TOSHIBA ML-EM25P(SS) Compact Microwave has exceeded my expectations in terms of both form and function. Its stylish design, intuitive controls, and efficient performance make it the perfect addition to any kitchen. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a reliable and stylish microwave that delivers consistently excellent results.

[UPDATE at end] I’ve owned many microwaves, was the first person I know to buy one, in 1974. People use to come over to try it, a modern marvel. And wonder of wonders, this is the only other microwave since that original one (a Gaffers and Sattler) that explains in the manual how to make creative use of aluminum foil in the microwave! I didn’t know you could still do that. The purchase was worth it for that knowledge alone (I was an old hand at using foil- on the wings of chickens, with rolls, bread, things that cook too quickly compared to other parts of the meal). No scrimping on the packaging- it arrived in a heavy-weight box within a box and encased in styrofoam, so no chance of dents or damage, yet easy to unpack.

Aesthetically I LOVE this. I fancy it has a chunky retro mid-century look to it, like what a food replicator looked like on the original Enterprise. I don’t have the best eyesight and the buttons are big and clearly labeled- can see them without my glasses. Ditto with the digital display, bright green; the light inside is bright too. The handle is thick and solid in your hand, pleases me every time I use it (haven’t had a microwave in years with an actual handle, SO much better, feels decisive, purposeful, kinesthetically pleasing). The operation is intuitive (for the most part) and basic, well-thought-out, satisfying. I’m coming from a fancy Panasonic unit with inverter technology that I was in love with, but as is apparently common with Panasonic microwaves it died after a few months. It’s a trade-off- I much prefer the look and operation of this (for example, the Panasonic had no number pad) but it takes slightly longer to cook, but that’s okay.

Being able to turn the sound off is a blessing. I’m living in my vintage travel trailer at the moment and have two little finches that don’t need to be awakened at all hours (they answer the beeps with chirps). Relatedly the door makes a rather loud but not unpleasant thunk when closed normally, but it can also be closed gently, more quietly when desired- after a week it’s already second nature to me. The microwave when running is quieter than most. Also wanted to say I nearly sent this back because the power level button didn’t work. What an idiot- when all else fails read the manual. You change the power level AFTER you enter the cooking time.

So far I love this thing, and like the many other Toshiba products I’ve owned over the years, hope it lasts a good long time. (After my experience with the short-lived Panasonic I got the three-year warranty- a bargain at $6.) But if it dies or malfunctions I’ll update this review. Thank-you Toshiba!

UPDATE: I had a senior moment and forgot to put the frozen lasagna in the microwave. I manually set it for seven minutes and pressed start. I was doing other things in the kitchen and about five minutes in the microwave went dead. No display, no power, nothing. It was HOT inside. Oh great, I blew a fuse or WORSE, I thought. I couldn’t find the owner’s manual. I tried unplugging it, plugging it back in, nothing. No re-set button on the back. SO disgusted with myself. Thought I was going to have to have it serviced or replaced. About 15 minutes later it came back to life, after it cooled off, good as new. Thank-you Toshiba!!

I am more than happy for my Toshiba microwave. It is super silent, easy to use, easy to clean, look nice and had many options. I bought the second one for my basement kitchen too. Highly recommended. I am using it already for more than 1 year.
