Review: Better than Panasonic - For those in the know, Panasonic has been the go-to brand for microwave ovens for a long time. Something like 90% plus of all of the microwave ovens in the world are manufactured by just three companies, with Panasonic almost the only company doing any real R&D on them. Panasonic invented inverter power control for microwaves, sensor cooking, and a laundry list of other things we take for granted in our microwaves. So why did I buy Toshiba this time? Because Toshiba did it BETTER. Toshiba's panel features one-touch buttons for cook times from thirty seconds to six minutes, and all of its most important sensor cook modes—the ones you'll use most often—are two button presses. Cooking frozen vegetables? FRZ VEG, START. And that's it. On the Panasonic that this replaced, that took eleven button presses. Microwave popcorn? POPCORN, START. And there's one other VERY IMPORTANT thing that this Toshibs has that almost no other microwave oven with comparable features on the market has: A DOOR HANDLE. Yes, to open the door, you grab the handle, lift the safety interlock latch, and pull. Just like any normal door. You don't need one hand to push a stupid mechanical push button, and the other to pull the door open by its edge because the door open button linkage is sticking again and the door doesn't have a handle. By the time the previous microwave failed (a non-repairable fault in its control panel), I was heartily sick of that stupid door-open button. So looking for an oven that had a PHYSICAL DOOR HANDLE, as well as the cooking features I wanted, was actually one of my top shopping features. Toshiba offered that physical handle. Nobody else did, in an oven in this class. One caveat: The first oven we received had a fault, and we had to return it. Toshiba USA customer service is an absolute pain in the nether regions to deal with. Be aware.

BEWARE! Bought the 1st one. It came missing the turn table and instructions. Had to send it back for a replacement. Got the 2nd one in February 6 this year but (house being renovated) didnt plus it in until April. It shorted out on 08 13 26. I dont use a microwave every day but 4 months use and it shorted out. It was past the return date so amazon gave me the number to Toshiba saying that it was under warranty and they would refund money to me. I call. They want pics of the model number and the invoice from Amazon, which I promptly sent them. The next day a pic of the serial number ... which I did immediately. The next day ... they said I needed to send in data that I had already sent ... I did it again. Then today they wanted me to find snd download the invoice from Amazon and send it to them! I called them and got a story on Toshiba refund policy! I told them where to put the refund. I will never buy Toshiba again ... beware! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/683442018-toshiba-countertop-microwave-oven-with-inverter-2-2-cu-ft](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/683442018-toshiba-countertop-microwave-oven-with-inverter-2-2-cu-ft) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
