HIDDEN MALFUNCTION UNTIL…
Loved the blue LED lights. Other than that… The microwave appeared to work well. We had no idea how to use the convection or air fryer functions, so we waited until a weekend when we could sit down with the manual and follow step by step. 1st Issue: NO MANUAL. OK, that seems to be the way of the world these days, we’ll find it online. Nope. No real manual online either. Ok. Just basics. We can figure it out. (Note: not really. With a unit such as this, a manual is required with how-tos and suggested recipes to get you started.) We wanted air fried chicken wings. Yum! We sprayed the rack, put the chicken on it, placed it in the unit, turned it to convection – here’s a lesson: air frying is really convection only done on an elevated rack. Really?? So what? We put the dials and settings as instructed, and tapped start. Suddenly, CLANK, CRASH, BAM, BANG, CLUNK-CLUNK-CLANK!!! It sounded like a box of nails was let loose inside We turned it off immediately, unplugged it, and cooked the wings in the oven.I hate when an expensive item comes broken! Where’s Quality Control? Anyway, it took 3 physical attempts for a return pick-up (No Shows, no calls, emails, or text notifications while we sat at home, as required) each one further delaying the pick up date, and many more telephone chats (and long, long hold times and robot gate-keeper refusals to put my calls through to a human) to get Amazon to finally remove the broken unit from my porch, which also delayed my refund, of course. If you’re interested in buying a new microwave, I suggest buying one that has just one function, simply to microwave. We bought a Farberware to replace the broken 4in1 and, so far, it is working quite well.I read somewhere that Toshiba had been bought out by another company. Perhaps this is a reflection of the new standards for Toshiba products going forward. Buyers be warned.

So far, we LOVE it. All the functions work great and it only takes up space of one appliance
This microwave is rated at a lower wattage than my previous microwave, yet it cooks everything so much faster. The airfry function has been absolutely awesome, we use it all the time. The microwave and defrost function have also been invaluable. I didn’t realize how much we were going to use this device when we purchased it, because now we can do so much more than just microwaving. Granted, we’ve been using it for a month, but if anything changes I will update. It is very heavy, but Common Sense would entail, if there are that many different functioning components in one device, it’s going to be heavier than a device that is only specialized to do one thing. Hell, just the heating elements for broiling and air frying are heavy. So, there are trade-offs. But it is more than worth it to me to have something this functional, rather than something I hesitate to use every time.

Lorsque j’ai reÃ§u le four la boÃ®te d’emballage Ã©tait dans une mauvaise condition. J’ai quand mÃªme voulu voir l’appareil avec espoir qu’il ne serait pas endommagÃ© et j’ai constatÃ© que le cÃ´tÃ© droit Ã©tait renfoncÃ© et le cÃ´te gauche avec une un renfoncement aussi dans le haut et une lÃ©gÃ¨re bosse.Donc je le retourne le colis mais je suis dÃ©sappointÃ© c’est beaucoup de problÃ¨me car c’est lour et pas facile Ã manier.Michelyne Blais

En primer lugar quiero destacar las funciones que tiene, aparte de “simplemente calentar comida”. Esta la funciÃ³n por la que mÃ¡s me llamo la atenciÃ³n que viene con freidora de aire incluida, lo cuÃ¡l ayuda bastante y evita tener que utilizar aceite (aclaro que no es exactamente el mismo resultado que una de aceite, pero al menos en mi opiniÃ³n en este apartado no decepciona) y por convecciÃ³n (para quien no conozco, que me incluyo y tuve que indagar bastante, esta bÃ¡sicamente te deja hacer una pizza e incluso carne a un nivel mÃ¡s que aceptable, eso si dependerÃ¡ que tipo y de que calidad sea el producto que compraste), ademÃ¡s de tener la capacidad de descongelar sin calentar (como usualmente sucede que tienes estar al pendiente o al tanteo o la mÃ¡s antigua de todas con agÃ¼ita caliente, abarca prÃ¡cticamente cualquier cos: carne, verduras, etc… y al momento de sacarlo del micro no esta ni de lejos caliente, me sorprendiÃ³ bastante ya que pensÃ© que lo iba a dejar a medias o tibio, pero no todo lo contrario).Finalmente en cuanto estÃ©ticamente este me gusto bastante, ya que es no como el tÃpico microondas de toda la vida. En cuanto a practicidad y espacio, tanto el que abarca como el que tiene para los platos le doy un 10 (la versiÃ³n que yo compre fue de 1.5 pies cÃºbicos, aclaro porque hay que otras medidas).-Lo Ãºnico de contras que le encontrÃ© es el dichoso manual/instructivo, viene completamente en ingles (para mÃ no fue problema porque si se ingles, lo comento para las personas que de plano no sepan nada de este, que aÃºn asÃ no causa problemas) que varias opiniones de personas en E.U se quejaban porque casi casi era imposible entenderle a esta cosa por el manual, no digo que este bien el hecho de no explicar a detalle tal cuÃ¡l las cosas, pero no es el fin del mundo, tranquilamente pueden buscar en YouTube el modelo y marca del microondas o simplemente “Toshiba Microwave” o “Air fry/ convection microwave”-El envÃo, este lo compre desde Amazon E.E.U.U y al principio y durante un buen tiempo se quedo en el primer punto de seguimiento, en mi caso soy de MÃ©xico y desde que lo compre se tardo aproximadamente de 2 – 3 meses en llegar, contacte al servicio al cliente de Amazon, ellos me mencionaron que debido al precio, tamaÃ±o e importancia la logÃstica se tardaba mÃ¡s de lo habitual, y asÃ lo fue, que de hecho por preocupaciÃ³n iba a solicitar un reembolso pero se actualizo y ya me aparecÃa un seguimiento.Con esto si compran este mismo microondas o uno similar desde E.E.U.U hacÃa MÃ©xico tengan paciencia y no por querer las cosas al instante lo cancelen, me ahorre cuanto trabajo y esfuerzo con el banco y lo que me hubiera esperado y al final si me llego en buen estado y funciona totalmente despuÃ©s de un tiempo considerable de uso.Espero poder haber sido de ayuda, mÃ¡s que nada porque no hay ninguna opiniÃ³n de MÃ©xico o tan siquiera en espaÃ±ol.

I am very disappointed. After waiting weeks for this microwave, when it arrived, the package was open and the microwave was dirty inside like it was used. We can see clearly all the dust of food inside and outside also the plate and the basket were dirty. Now the big problem, the microwave does not have instability on the counter, it is not unstable, as it shows in video above, it has a short foot. How are you guys going to solve my problem??? I paid almost $500 dollares to receive something like that???

Fantastic! Toshiba âML-EC42P(SS) 4 function Microwave / Air Fryer / Convection / Combination
âFantastic! Toshiba âML-EC42P(SS) 4 function Microwave / Air Fryer / Convection / CombinationBefore I get into MY review I’d like to address someone else’s review.====================When I was checking out the Microwaves, I stumbled across a review for THIS one that claimed that you couldn’t type in the time to microwave, and so were stuck with 1 to 6 minutes, and then you were forced to press the “More” or “Less” buttons raising or lowering the time by one minute. Or using the “Start / Play” button to ad 30 seconds. Limiting the times you can microwave starting at 30 Seconds, 1 to 6:30: .5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5 Minutes. Though you can add more minutes by pressing “More”. If this were true, this would be a HORRIBLE microwave, as we know that a handful of seconds can be the difference between perfectly cooked food and burned or overcooked food.She doesn’t know what she’s talking about, obviously didn’t read the manual OR EVEN LOOK at the keypad.You CAN work it like she described, though I don’t know WHY you’d WANT TO! First, she describes ONLY using the Quick Start buttons, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and, if we’re being honest, the “Play” Button (adding 30 seconds to the total, each time you press it). In conjunction with the “More” and “Less” buttons, adding or subtracting 1 minute at a time.All of this is explained in the manual.But, if you’re not a “Manual” kind of person, then you only need to read the keypad. If a person does that, he or she will run into 3 buttons directly above the number-pad:Micro, Conv, and Combo. (With an Airfry button one line underneath the top left row.) With just the lightest application of “the Little Grey Cells” a reasonably intelligent child would be able to be able to make these associations: Micro = Microwave Conv = Convection Combo = Microwave then Convection CookingIf you press the Micro Button, the unit displays, “00:00:00” and if you start typing in the time that you want, it will start filling up time by inserting each new number at the right-most spot. So if you type “100” the unit will display “00:01:00”, and if you add a number 2 the display will show “00:10:02”, or 10 Minutes and 2 Seconds. As you can see, it’s not too complicated.Review review is over. My review continues below.The âML-EC42P(SS) is a fantastic machine!I had some concerns about this machine:1) Microwave is only 1,000 Watts. Danger of under-cooking. More and more foods say they “Require” 1,200 Watts,2) Air Fryer might be wimpy.3) Some reviews say the manual is confusing.PROS:1) Manual isn’t bad. I’ve read MUCH WORSE. Just read it a few times, and keep it handy for referring to it when you’re confused.2) That it is a 1000 Watt oven is rarely an issue. But when it is, you can extend the time by a few seconds, or minutes.3) Air Fryer does a really decent job! Sometimes it takes MORE time than using the microwave (for instance, “Hot Pockets”) would be. But it’s a “Set-it and Forget-it” deal, and produces MUCH better results. (For instance, microwaving 2 Hot Pockets takes 2 or 3 minutes, while “Airfrying” takes about 13 minutes. But, the unit turns itself off after it’s done.4) The Convection function can either heat to a specific temperature (Press: Conv->Set Temperature->Play->Play), OR it can cook for a SPECIFIC length of time (Press: Conv->Set Temperature->Play->Type in Time to Cook->Play).5) Auto Defrost works like a charm!CONS:1) Flat, smooth, bubble Keys / Buttons kind of to press / find. No bumps or lines to distinguish where they start or stop. I slide my finger across the button I want to press. 95% success.2) Only 1000 Watts.3) Keypad NOT backlit.4) Keypad / Display can be hard to read.4) Not smart.

Micro convection is such a joy to cook with
I bought this and have been using it everyday. To warm something up to cooking a casserole and making popcorn. I love this appliance. There could be a backlit for the options, but I just have to turn light on it. Noise level is good.. itâs not silent, the size is great for where I placed it. Power is good and I have to get use to that, itâs made well. All inside stainless and dish is made of heavy durable glass. Timer is actuate and all functions work as they should. Good price and easy to use.

Complicated
Made well, works fine. Too many buttons & kinda complicated to use though. I like the energy saver feature & that the beeping sound can be shut off

Perfect for every kitchen
This is one of the best imo that frees up counter space. Having everything built into one is awesome. I have an older one that is at our shop and this one at our home. They work great, and are beautifully designed and made.I think every kitchen needs one of these in them.Give it a try, and the convection oven cooks pizza perfectly all the way around. The air fryer is awesome for wings and other food items.I had a 400 dolar microwave, and this Toshiba all in one cost less and and does more.Buy it, try it, and you will like it. ð- Alyssa
