ML4-EM22PAIT(SS) Countertop Microwave Oven with Sensor Cook, 6 Auto Menus, Origin Inverter, Child Lock, 2.2 Cu Ft for Large Family, 16.5 Inch Removable Turntable, 1200W, Stainless Steel

My family started using Microwave ovens in the late 1970's they were enormous back then but they were powerful and did a good job. The first one I purchased for myself was a 1100 watt magic chef in the late 1980's it travelled with me for decades and worked great for something like 20 years and was still working when I gave it to a friend. Then in the 2000's I noticed a shift where it was not common to find 1100 watt microwaves and it has continued till this day where 1000 watts is where most top out. Anyway there have been other microwaves all pretty much disappointing in performance and as of recently I said that's it! I want a high performance microwave with a good interior size no more of these cramped 1.2 CF interiors and purchased this one as the exterior dimensions are not that much greater at 1.6 CF interior room. When I received this one I was at first amazed how light weight it is compared to the one it was replacing and realized it is the inverter technology lightening things up. It is so light weight in fact it will skid across the table opening and closing it. No problem I just put some drawer liners under the feet to keep it from sliding around. When I plugged it in for the first time it made a horrible noise I thought what the heck this is brand new where is this noise coming from?? at first I thought it was a bad gear in the turn table mechanism and tried to turn it with my fingers to feel if there was anything wrong with it but it was tight which it should be. After turning it on and off a few times I zeroed in on the sound and discovered it was a fan hitting something internally so being a technician I took the cowling off being very mindful not to touch any high energy components like capacitors or come in contact with wiring which could be potentially lethal. Note: It does require tamper proof Torx head screw drivers or a very good precision set of Torx drivers to remove the case screws to get into the appliance. Note: I do not recommend or endorse nor encourage that anyone should do as I have done but illustrate an issue with Quality Control on Toshibas part and the actions I took to correct it so others are aware when making this purchase they may encounter the same issue. Note: People who are unfamiliar with electricity, electronics or working with and around High Voltages weather it be DC or AC Circuits should not attempt to open one of these units as it can be lethal. Certain components like capacitor's will carry a lethal charge of electricity that can last for weeks even when unplugged and it can kill you. Note: I myself have been an electronics Technician in many professional work environments including appliance repair for decades and am still learning and always wary of touching anything I do not understand and even more cautious of touching things I do understand. I then discovered a metal duct work for channeling the air over components was not installed correctly (see picture included with this review) and I needed to bend it to get it out of the way of the fan blades, Two screws later and cautiously removing the shroud using insulated magnetic tools then a quick bend with a pair of needle nose plyers replaced the shroud and the problem was solved. After repairing this minor Issue, the Microwave works better than any I have ever used. Coffee & tea perfectly hot within 1 minute and I like mine HOT. Cook times are greatly reduced and the cooking is more even. Defrost by weight works perfectly, amazingly so. The feature to turn off the chimes is priceless no more stupid loud dinging when starting and finishing a cook cycle. When you turn off the noise however the kitchen timer also does not make noise. The microwave is also extremely quiet when running. All in all I am very pleased with this Microwave and hope what I experienced was just a one off, otherwise Toshiba had better get there Quality Control act together or there are going to be allot of returns for a very simple issue that should never have been permitted to leave the factory.

Works great. Nice and quiet. Dimensionally, it seemed a bit smaller than stated, but it did fit where the old 2.5 cu microwave was removed.

I am seeing some reviews where people are very upset, returned their microwave and rated it one star, mentioning how it sometimes continued running when it should have been done. Most of the time what is happening isn't a defect, but what I'm reading that some people are describing is a feature of this microwave. When your food is done, if the microwave senses that it's too hot or especially too steamy inside of the chamber, it will continue to run the exhaust fan for some time after the food has finished cooking. Considering that it doesn't tell you what it's doing, and many people aren't used to this feature, it can be a bit disconcerting when it first happens. I'm unsure why they didn't make some sort of notification on the keypad to tell you that the exhaust is running, and so instead it just seems to people as if the microwave isn't shutting off. That seems like a huge oversight in the design when it would have been so easy to include, but this is how it was designed. If your exhaust fan is somewhat blocked, this issue may happen without it being as hot or steamy as it usually takes to trigger it. Of course microwaves can have issues, and you should be careful to make sure you're not having a real issue where it's continuing to run. I'm in no way claiming that it actually can't have a real defective issue where it might continue to run, and you could be having a different issue than the built in exhaust fan. So you do need to be careful and use your own judgement. But basically, there is a feature of this microwave which will sometimes make it seem as if it's still running, with no way to stop it, not opening the door or pressing on the keypad, only by unplugging it, because the exhaust fan is doing what it's supposed to and continuing to run in certain circumstances. Simply having the thing designed so that the keypad lit up "Exhaust" or "Fan" or something while it was doing this would have saved a lot of returns and customer anxiety. But it doesn't seem that they did that, and it's very possible that this is your issue if this sort of thing happens to you. Again, be safe, make sure, don't trust that I'm right since you may actually get a defective microwave that continues to run, but know that whole exhaust thing is a part of how this microwave is supposed to operate.

Bonito microondas de acuerdo con la descripción publicada excelente calidad lo recomiendo

El horno es en el contador al nivel de la cintura. No puedo ver las etiquetas de los botones. Son casi del mismo color como el fondo. Amazon negó esta calificación en inglés.

Love the microwave. Easy to use, quiet and large capacity.

La première impression est son niveau de bruit. Pratiquement silencieux. On se demande même s'il est en fonction. Il chauffe bien et rapidement. J'aurais aimé que les pieds soient moins haut.

The most expensive microwave that I ever bought. It is worth the money. For sure. 100%
