Versatile Space saver
It took me four tries to finally get the right combo unit. Firstly, I have limited counter space. I wanted an airfryer originally. Got one but it had peculiar issues I was not expecting or what happens when you mix molded plastic with high heat. Decided that the unit I buy must be all metal with limited use of plastics both for recycling latter on and reducing BPA contamination. That’s when I decided to look at the combi function appliances. Setting this as the prequel to my review for the purpose of contexting my following comments on this unit. I want to make it obvious That this item has limitation many of which have been written in previous reviews. Had , I had a bigger counter , more space ,etc. I would have made my kitchen gadgetry demands and purchases quite different.Pros’This unit does indeed do all that it is asked to do. It has plenty of power (Wattage) to serve all functions. It is well built , good looking on the counter takes less space than my old microwave. The microwave wattage is larger than my previous one so it does better than my old one. The unit produces no unwanted odors. It has smaller clearance valve to other objects and walls than most of the others, another important factor in my decision. The benefit of the combi functions where I can microwave and airfryer ( convection) or broil at the same time. This is a huge time saver in cooking while at the same time giving a higher desired result than just microwaving food. Personally , I would love to have bought the 1.6 cu ft. the 4 in 0ne model instead , but its size was still to big for my counter. Overall I am extremely pleased and would indeed recommend.Cons’Most who have read the reviews with this model will hear some of the same things regarding this unit> Alas, No mechanical device is perfect either by design or omission for the sake of trying to do to much with one item. So, yes the presets and the controls are a complete boondoggle to the mind and renders simplicity of use to the back of the line. I actually wasn’t originally going to buy this, because of this fact alone, and did in fact try another model, one of my many tries. It was one of the highest rated and most expensive one. But it was a clunker to me and didn’t at all appear to be built to last, I returned it quickly without a second thought. The number of combinations this unit has for cooking I guess just makes difficult for any controller to be easy and I assume they all suffer in this way. It is manageable and I am gradually gaining confidence in selecting the right combinations of pushes and selections to match my own desired cooking results.Other than this unit is operates flawlessly. Is easy to use and keep clean. I will address one other concern or flaw that some have commented on, “the moisture build up” . Indeed , if one does not pay attention this does indeed happen. It is a minor issue, INMO, that is easily remedied by leaving the door open after using the unit for about 10 mins. It does not happen all the time and is only the result of certain cooking functions and types of food being cooked ( mostly liquid beverages or soups and Microwaving). I assume somehow that this unit has an interior insulating blanket or mat to keep the outside metal from becoming to hot. I am guessing it also inadvertently creates a moisture barrier for the inside. As stated it is only relevant to to easily comprehensible cooking functions and types of food/ beverage which are understood immediately and one knows to not close door after this use and allow for unit to air out. Much like modern washing machines require that the door be left ajar.Overall a great purchase worth the money spent. Thanks.

AprÃ¨s 13 mois dâutilisationÂ normale, le four a montrÃ© un code dâerreur et a cessÃ© de fonctionnerâ¦ La garantie est de 365 jours et la compagnie sâen tient au 365 jours, et ce, mÃªme si lâoffice de la protection du consommateur considÃ¨re quâun bien achetÃ© doit avoir une durÃ©e de vie raisonnable malgrÃ© ladite garantie. Malheureusement, les services de rÃ©paration me recommandent dâacheter un autre appareil car trop cher Ã rÃ©parerâ¦ Bref, bien dispendieux pour une si mince utilisation.

Bought from third party seller as âlike newâ for $457 and the microwave worked very well until it died 3 months later within the claimed 6-mo guarantee.Amazon would not help; Seller never responded for refund request.I reached out to Toshiba; 2 weeks later… to no avail; still waiting for resolution after providing documentation and proof. I have never experienced such unprofessional customer service. All three involved dropped the ball big time. So people, let that be a lesson and do not ever buy big electronics.

Fantastic oven!
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.
