It is what we expected, good finish, seems well put together and does the job well.

I regret purchasing this Toshiba combo appliance. As an air fryer, it performs poorly—food takes much longer to cook compared to a standalone air fryer, and nothing comes out crispy. I feel like I’m wasting extra electricity just to get subpar results.After only 30 days of use, the interior back of the appliance is already stained, despite cleaning it after every use. The stains won’t come off and seem to be getting worse over time. The Microwave function also does not heat the food as quick as a standalone microwave.Another major concern is the heat output. I have this unit installed with the recommended spacing, yet my cabinet gets extremely hot when using the air fryer function—to the point where I worry it could be a fire hazard.To make matters worse, I reached out to Toshiba for support, and their response was disappointing. They essentially told me that the air fryer function would never work the same as a standalone air fryer (which makes no sense, given that it’s advertised as a combo air fryer) and that the stains are not covered under warranty.At this point, I feel like I’ve completely wasted my money. I bought this to reduce clutter by replacing two appliances with one, but it has been so unreliable that I’m going back to my old microwave and air fryer. I’m actually throwing this unit out because it’s just not worth the frustration. I would not recommend this product.

When our last microwave quit working, I had decided that I wanted a microwave with an air fryer. I discovered quickly, that there’s not that many models out yet. So I did not have a lot of choices. I purchased a different microwave but the beeping sounds cannot be turned off.This microwave works perfectly. You can turn off the sound if you want. The keypad is easy to understand and is logical. (The other microwave I tried, some of the buttons were in a strange place compared to where I would expect them.). The air fryer seems to work pretty good. I had the most delicious corn dogs without having to use the oven.The regular microwave works exactly as you would expect it to. I also like the handle. I was not sure that I would like the pull handle because my past microwaves have had the push button. But I came to discover that is really handy for when you’re trying to be quiet. We have two bedrooms near our kitchen which is why I wanted to be able to turn off the sound on the other microwave. With this microwave, not only can you turn off the sound but you can open and close the door while pushing the button And it is extremely quiet. It doesn’t have that large click sound unless you let go of the button.It also has a nice look. It seems to have a lot more steam when you’re using it as a microwave than our previous ones. I’m not sure why that is, but I don’t mind it. If anything, it seems to do a little better job about not letting the food dry out.

I bought this and have been using it everyday. To warm something up to cooking a casserole and making popcorn. I love this appliance. There could be a backlit for the options, but I just have to turn light on it. Noise level is good.. it’s not silent, the size is great for where I placed it. Power is good and I have to get use to that, it’s made well. All inside stainless and dish is made of heavy durable glass. Timer is actuate and all functions work as they should. Good price and easy to use.

‎Fantastic! Toshiba ‎ML-EC42P(SS) 4 function Microwave / Air Fryer / Convection / CombinationBefore I get into MY review I'd like to address someone else's review.====================When I was checking out the Microwaves, I stumbled across a review for THIS one that claimed that you couldn't type in the time to microwave, and so were stuck with 1 to 6 minutes, and then you were forced to press the "More" or "Less" buttons raising or lowering the time by one minute. Or using the "Start / Play" button to ad 30 seconds. Limiting the times you can microwave starting at 30 Seconds, 1 to 6:30: .5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5 Minutes. Though you can add more minutes by pressing "More". If this were true, this would be a HORRIBLE microwave, as we know that a handful of seconds can be the difference between perfectly cooked food and burned or overcooked food.She doesn't know what she's talking about, obviously didn't read the manual OR EVEN LOOK at the keypad.You CAN work it like she described, though I don't know WHY you'd WANT TO! First, she describes ONLY using the Quick Start buttons, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and, if we're being honest, the "Play" Button (adding 30 seconds to the total, each time you press it). In conjunction with the "More" and "Less" buttons, adding or subtracting 1 minute at a time.All of this is explained in the manual.But, if you're not a "Manual" kind of person, then you only need to read the keypad. If a person does that, he or she will run into 3 buttons directly above the number-pad:Micro, Conv, and Combo. (With an Airfry button one line underneath the top left row.) With just the lightest application of "the Little Grey Cells" a reasonably intelligent child would be able to be able to make these associations:Micro = MicrowaveConv = ConvectionCombo = Microwave then Convection CookingIf you press the Micro Button, the unit displays, "00:00:00" and if you start typing in the time that you want, it will start filling up time by inserting each new number at the right-most spot. So if you type "100" the unit will display "00:01:00", and if you add a number 2 the display will show "00:10:02", or 10 Minutes and 2 Seconds. As you can see, it's not too complicated.Review review is over. My review continues below.The ‎ML-EC42P(SS) is a fantastic machine!I had some concerns about this machine:1) Microwave is only 1,000 Watts. Danger of under-cooking. More and more foods say they "Require" 1,200 Watts,2) Air Fryer might be wimpy.3) Some reviews say the manual is confusing.PROS:1) Manual isn't bad. I've read MUCH WORSE. Just read it a few times, and keep it handy for referring to it when you're confused.2) That it is a 1000 Watt oven is rarely an issue. But when it is, you can extend the time by a few seconds, or minutes.3) Air Fryer does a really decent job! Sometimes it takes MORE time than using the microwave (for instance, "Hot Pockets") would be. But it's a "Set-it and Forget-it" deal, and produces MUCH better results. (For instance, microwaving 2 Hot Pockets takes 2 or 3 minutes, while "Airfrying" takes about 13 minutes. But, the unit turns itself off after it's done.4) The Convection function can either heat to a specific temperature (Press: Conv->Set Temperature->Play->Play), OR it can cook for a SPECIFIC length of time (Press: Conv->Set Temperature->Play->Type in Time to Cook->Play).5) Auto Defrost works like a charm!CONS:1) Flat, smooth, bubble Keys / Buttons kind of to press / find. No bumps or lines to distinguish where they start or stop. I slide my finger across the button I want to press. 95% success.2) Only 1000 Watts.3) Keypad NOT backlit.4) Keypad / Display can be hard to read.4) Not smart.
