Review: GREAT Alexa enabled microwave!! Child lock is easiest on market; Need Alexa works great! - AWESOME Especially for elderly or vision impaired! Very quiet, the child lock (that is required and cannot be disabled) is th easiest one on the market. Cooks well, responds to Alexa commands. My family member is a petite, severely vision impaired 95 year old who can linger see the buttons. This has restored some of her independence. She already ysed Alexa for basics (timers, alarms, weather, reminders) and this was so easy for her to add in. If I needed/wanted a countertop microwave, I would Definitely order this one!
Review: Nice microwave, easy to use, no serious complanits but maybe a few improvments would be nice. - Got the 1.6 Cu.Ft version. I've read some other reviews that said the clock/timer display was hard to see, ours was very easy to see. There was one review that said the touch buttons were black on black, that's not true as they are a sort of silver'ish grey (like an aluminum color) on black and are easy to see if you are looking straight at them in a well lighted room. When you touch a button the actual touch point is very slightly up and to the left and not in the center of the button where its more intuitive to press. Plus it would be better if the silver'ish grey was white and not silver'ish grey, the 'wording/writing/numbers' for the buttons would stand out better if they were white. So my first suggestion for improvement is that the button press spot be in the center of the button where its more intuitive. However, this being said, its ok after you get used to it but I noticed my senior aged next door neighbor who came over to visit to look at the microwave because she wants to buy a new one, she tried to use it and it wasn't very intuitive for her slightly shaky hands not having a definite intuitive point to aim for. My second suggestion for improvement is that It would be nice if the controls panel buttons were lit. As it is right now even though the control button locations are visible in a well lighted room looking straight at them, in a more dimly lit room or are looking at them off axis (not straight on) they are not as easy to see to older eyes even though still visible if you look more closely and directly at them. Lighting them would help. Contrary to that implied/stated by the advertisement there is not a "one touch popcorn button as kitchen essential". To do popcorn without doing a timed cook by entering the cook time manually you use the 'Custom Cook' functions (page EN-25 - EN-26 in my manual in English). The one for popcorn is CC-6, you press the 'Auto Cook' button 6 times. But there is a problem with CC-6, and that is if you look at the manual you will see CC-6 is set up for 3.5 ounces of popcorn and this means if you use the 'mini bags' of popcorn which are about 1.5 ounces and use CC-6 that your popcorn is going to overcook and burn. For the 1.5 ounce 'mini bags' the cook time is 1 minute and 10 seconds and you need to set this manually and can't use a 'Custom Cook' function. I can't find a way to 'program' the 'Custom Cook' settings, and although I have not tried each of these settings with the items shown in the manual (or a comparable weight/portion of something else) to that shown, I suspect that anything outside of that manual listed 'weight/portion' would either over cook or under cook if a 'Custom Cook' setting was used. So my third suggestion for improvement is to allow a user defined 'Custom Cook' function to be programmed in and saved for recall later. Yes, I realize this thing costs ~150.00 + tax... so I don't expect 'super duper luxury' type improvements, and these suggestions I know would be ignored and maybe they could be viewed as sort of nit-pickey in some ways. But if you want a decent microwave this one works well and works as advertised except for that advertised "one touch popcorn button as kitchen essential" thing which does not exist.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is the instruction on airfryer use in the manual found?**
A: On the Amazon product page I found a user manual. I had to scroll through a bit to find the link to download it. On page 27 of the manual there are air frying instructions. 
My physical manual, that came with the box, did not have it in there.

**Q: The manual is sad. how do you airfry vs convect?**
A: There is no difference. In this microwave the air fry button is just a preset for convection at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. The preset can not be changed. Very rarely do I use the air fry button. I manually set the temperature and time when I use the convection button. That is the only way to "air fry" and have settings customizable. Air Frying is marketing hyperbole. It is simply convection cooking. Which one sounds more exciting convection cooking or air frying?

**Q: Description says works with alexa but does not. false advertising? that’s why i bought it**
A: Hello and thank you for your question about the Toshiba Microwave Oven. We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with the Alexa connection. Please contact us at 800-842-1289 and reference case number 111341191. Thank you. ToshibaCustomerCare@hartehanks.com (BBB A+ Accredited Business)

**Q: How do i fix the clock. every time it changes back. the time is always an hour ahead meaning it didn't get fixed for dst on the east coast ?**
A: I think I have the time change fixed. Updated the Alexa and MLife apps which didn’t fix the daily time change problem, then remembered that you had to use a 2.4 wifi network to get the microwave set up initially. Until I did that Alexa said the server wasn’t responding when I did the update. Made the change to my 2.4 network and it connected, and today the clock time stayed correct at DST. This is a terrible system for the Alexa connection but it seems to be working.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Microwave Oven - Much better than anticipated based upon reviews
*by L***N on January 11, 2023*

My Sharp Carousel MIcrowave Oven just died, so went shopping online for another microwave oven. So many choices, but I needed one that fits my cabinet and with 1200W. So I narrowed it down to a few and found this one on Amazon. It was at a very good price, size and power, but this Toshiba model had mixed reviews. So, I am writing my reviews to address the points from other owners of this microwave oven. First, some owners had a difficult time setting the clock. I read the instructions, and it was pretty intuitive and I was able to set the clock time with ease. As for the control panel not well lit, I can see when my kitchen lights were dimmed or shut, it was a bit difficult to see (not back lit) but with normal lights on, control panel was easy to see. You can see the picture that you can clearly see the control panel. The noise level is quieter than my Sharp Carousel model, so I give it thumbs up. Yes, you do hear the humming of a microwave oven, but it is low level and I think it is expected. As for ease of use, yes the bottom two icons can be confusing at first, but once you read the manual (I wonder if owners read the manual before they start complaining about how difficult it is to use) and follow the instructions, and get used to the control panel, it turns out that it is easy to use. I am very pleased with the popcorn option. My Sharp Carousel had a difficult time popping popcorn without burning 10% of the popcorn. Or when I tried to time it to not burn, there were quite a few kernels not popped. This Toshiba to my surprise at it at 1:45 minutes for 3.5 oz bag and it popped 99% if not 100% of the kernels and not of them were burnt. That is enough for me to buy this model. This is only my first day of unpacking, setting it up and using it to heat some water for tea and pop one bag of pop corn, but so for I really like my investment in this microwave oven. I will continue to use it and if I have any issues or praises in the coming weeks, I will certainly write a more complete review. So far, it is 5 stars for me ... and it only costed me $169.99. That is a good price and it is sizeable for a family of 5. Now, with more usage, (updated review - part 2) I used the reheat feature and I was half expecting to set the time, but it did not require setting the time. I then patiently waited for it to reheat my dinner from the night before with its smart sensor feature. When it was done, it then went into the mode of returning the plate to its original position (which was not necessary because it was a circular plate), but the dinner was heated evenly. Another plus. And the noise level was low. So far, so good.
