## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Excellent product - Toshiba was the maker of of the first microwave oven I purchased. Since then I have tried several other makes. In my opinion Toshiba are the best both in quality, build and reliability. This one certainly lives up to there reputation , not only does it look good , it is easy to set up and use. Excellent value for money
Review: Great product with impressive results for a reasonable price - Does exactly what I hoped it would and more. Works great as a normal microwave, and the power can be properly controlled, which is great for defrosting. The grill works nicely too - you put the food on the provided baking tray and grill rack and it rotates the food under the grill. The convection oven on its own needs a bit of time to heat up, but it works well too. You can also use any of these three main functions all at once, or in any combination. This allows for a huge range of cooking methods, but it can also get a bit confusing. You have to refer to the manual to understand what many of the programs do. Also you have to be careful not to use the baking tray and/or grill racks when the microwave function is enabled as part of the program. Therefore, if you are cooking something like pizza and you use the auto-cook program for that, you need to just use a normal non-metallic plate, which will get very hot during cooking. Having said all that though, you really can get excellent results for most kinds of food with a little practice using this device. There is also a provided plastic steamer tub which you can use to steam food. The "air fry" mode is actually just the convection oven and grill in combination. It is by no means an actual air fryer, but tbh that was pretty obvious to me before I bought it. It can get similar results though. I am very pleased with this purchase and it should be very helpful while my kitchen is renovated and I only have a temporary kitchen to use. It also looks pretty nice and will have its place in the new kitchen. The only downside is that the power cable is very short, but this is a problem with a lot of microwaves.
