TOSHIBA ML-EM45P(BS) Countertop Microwave Oven with Smart Sensor and Position Memory Turntable, Function, 1.6 Cu.ft 13.6" Removable Black Stainless Steel, 1200W

This is the best microwave i have ever owned. Very easy to use, bright light inside makes it easy to see food. The handle is easy to grip and the safety is a wonderful feature. It’s very quiet and my favorite feature is the turntable position memory, every microwave should have it!

Powerfull enough at 1200 Watts. Spacious enough at 1.6 cubic ft. Mechanical child lock, not an electronic one. Time setting is easy and displays without intervention after cooking cycle complete -- These things made me return a Panasonic.

Works as you stated. Would certainly buy again if needed. I am always satisfied with my orders from Amazon, and will continue with all orders that I need. Thanks for always stating the facts, I can depend on their arrival and check the progress of my orders if needed. No other site is like this one. I do not order from anyone else, but friends order from other places and are always having problems. I tell them to change to Amazon.

This replaced an old Kenmore microwave that was very loud. This one is quiet. I deducted one star for two shortcomings. First one is that there is no longer a "Popcorn" button. While the popcorn function does exist, it is buried behind a menu requiring several button pushes. Second, the microwave intermittently changes itself to Power Level 8 (PL-8) for no apparent reason. Other than that, it has performed well so far.

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.

I have written 3 product reviews in my life... So I have to feel strongly about something to leave a review. I've also owned several microwaves over the last 40 years, so enough to compare! First, the one positive: the only positive aspect of this microwave is that it gives you the option to silence it. That's it... Here are the reasons I would advise anyone looking to NOT buy it: 1) The clock does not hold its time. It's weird, I can't explain it. If I do anything on the number or command pad beyond pressing the Express Cook buttons - there's a real risk that the clock will zero itself out. I don't even set it anymore. 2) It just "blanks out" randomly. It usually happens if I try to enter in a cook time, or a cook time and a power level. For instance: I want to cook something for 45 seconds. Or I want to cook something for 3 minutes on 90% power... Forget it. Sometimes it works fine, but a good 25% of the time it blanks out. 3) The buttons are hard to push, to a surprising degree. I saw this mentioned in reviews I read before buying it and thought it was silly. It is not silly. It's surprisingly annoying. So often jabbing the buttons trying to get just the right spot, until it registers. 4) Sometimes when I hit an Express Cook button - it just makes a click and does nothing. 5) Sometimes I go to heat something - the fan turns on, but the microwave doesn't heat, at all. This can happen in a variety of settings, there is no predicting it. 6) Lastly, and this is just an observation - either due to the wattage or the variability of the microwave's performance overall - it frequently totally toasts popcorn. Even at 80% power level. I dislike this microwave so much that if it weren't environmentally unsound, and if the machine didn't cost so much to replace with another model, I would gladly chuck it into a canal.

Works great. It performs as described.

Love the look the size and the features. Good price. Fingers crossed 🤞 that it lasts.
