TOSHIBA ML-EM09PA(BS) Small Microwave Oven with 6 Auto Menus, Mute Function & Child Lock, LED Lighting, Perfect for Apartment, 0.9 Cu Ft, 10.6 Inch Removable Turntable, 900W, Black Stainless Steel

I bought this microwave almost 6 months ago, and my family and I love it. It heats so evenly and reliably, is ridiculously simple to use, and has a lot of space inside for large dishes. Also, we love that the finish beep is way less annoying than other microwaves, AND it can be muted altogether if you still just don’t want to wake anyone up while you’re midnight snacking. This relatively inexpensive microwave was bought to replace a much more expensive microwave that, honestly, didn’t perform as well (and died way too soon). I read a lot of reviews on both Amazon and websites that tested it against other microwaves before I was comfortable picking this one. I was honestly surprised at how much Toshiba, of all brands, came out in the lead when it came to microwaves. So, I took a chance and made this purchase with my fingers crossed. My kids and husband actually laughed when this showed up, and there were a lot of South Park Toshiba Handybook references (IYKYK). We even dubbed the new microwave the “Toshiba Handybox.” All laughs aside, the “Toshiba Handybox” is out here killing’ it. This is easily the best microwave we’ve bought, especially for the price. If you’re microwave shopping right now, stop worrying and add this to your cart. You’ll love it.

Great looking microwave. Super easy to setup. The door is easy to open close. Very compact and perfect for smaller countertops. Powerful enough that it only requires a minute to make most items piping hot. No complaints. I owned the previous version for 4 years before I accidentally cracked the tempered glass.

Great product. It is not noisy, works well, heats food pretty fast, door opens and closes smoothly.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was looking for a small solid black microwave for my counter for heating up a plate or bowl of food and this was the only one on Amazon that met that criteria. It works well for my purposes. It’s a several inches smaller than my last one. A dinner plate fits in there, but nothing larger. If you need to heat up casserole dishes this isn’t for you. Heating up coffee or a plate of dinner—works great! Looks good too.

Really like this microwave and definitely recommend it.I read reviews about the child safety door, etc. I don't know why this is an issue, I didn't even see a need to unlock it.Having to do an extra step to do something like 1 minute to 1.5 minutes. True, a simple press time cook and enter the time. Really?The price, quality, no cooking issues, all good, for this old woman.For me, all is fine. Especially the two concerns for me. Removing the beeps and the 30 sec start button.One issue.The flood light on the unit!I mean stadium flood light.I leave the corner plastic piece on it.Maybe that's what it's for. ;)

This microwave is wonderfully quiet! And heats very well too! Does a really great efficient job at liquids and reheating plates so far. My old huge Sharp Carousel was SO loud with a beep that I’m sure my neighbors heard, and it didn’t heat nearly as well as this smaller Toshiba that costs about 1/3 the price!It is perfect for my needs. Fits a large plate, and is just enough room without being a hulking beast in the kitchen. I personally LOVE the ability to turn off all beeps (and it’s very easy to turn on and off at will). My old hulking beast of a microwave’s beeps echoed throughout the kitchen and its door was so dang loud, which gives sweat-inducing anxiety when you just put your kid down to nap but desperately need one more cup of coffee, or to finish your breakfast finally at 1 pm.Another plus, besides safety, for the child lock handle… It’s an easy off button that is a soft click, if you wanna quickly pause the reheating but keep things inside for a bit. Of course the cancel button works well for this too, lol, just sometimes you want a big button. You are able to open and close the door rather quietly too, if you take it slow.PRO-TIP: If you hear a slight rattle while the plate rotates, it’s likely that your microwave is not fully on even territory. It can be subtle! Mine was rattling slightly, and I worried it was some loose, tiny piece inside the microwave since I bought mine used but in “Excellent” condition.. It had come brand new and perfect looking in a box that had slightly dented packing styrofoam, so I worried it had taken a fall and something was loose. Not the case! I called customer service easily, and they were super helpful. I pressed down on each corner and realized although it looked like it was fully touching the top of the fridge, it wasn’t — hence the rattle! I slid a small towel underneath one corner, and voila, rattle gone!Great purchase!

VERY well made and I noticed how powerful it was immediately. It looks nice and it's the perfect size.

I bought this microwave to replace an identical one that failed after 3 years of typical household use. The first microwave began overheating and running when the door was opened. 3 years is a pretty short lifespan for a microwave but I liked the ease of use, the quiet operation and the mute feature so much I bought another one.Unfortunately the second unit failed after only 5 days of light use. The light and the turntable worked but it failed to heat anything.Despite this I gave it 4 stars because I feel that the premature failure was due to the shipping and handling and not due to the device. The microwave arrived loosely packed without cushioning and was rattling around in a big box. It was delivered by USPS and left standing on it's head by my garage.
