Toshiba Air Fryer Combo 4-in-1 Countertop Microwave Oven, Smart Sensor, Convection, Mute Function, Position Memory 13.6" Turntable, 1.5 Cu Ft, 1000W, Black, ML-EC42P(BS)

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.

The media could not be loaded. OMG I’m so in love with my new “microwave”!!!! I’ve only had it for a few days, but I have used it for so many different things already! It’s extremely quiet! It’s so quiet that I have had to walk over to make sure it’s actually still on! I read reviews where people were complaining about how loud the beep sounds are, well if it bothers you so much then turn them off!!! That’s what I did, and voila…not a beep was heard from there! I’ve used the air fryer several times and it works like a charm! My favorite part is the fact that I removed my actual air fryer from the kitchen and I have so much more room for activities 😜!My microwave died and I came onto Amazon to buy another one, then I came across this amazing piece of equipment! I didn’t even know these things existed!!! I did so much research between the options, read all the reviews, and decided on this one! First of all, it’s beautiful! B, the inside is massive! It’s twice the size of my air fryer, so I can cook more at one time! 3, it’s easier to clean than my previous 2 air fryer’s! I got real crafty with foil, just to try to keep it clean! D, this is also cheaper than the air fryer that I have! 5, it’s a huge space saver, because I got my air fryer off the counter!!!I absolutely love this thing! If you’re on the fence, I say go for it! It may take a little longer than an air fryer alone, but it certainly does its thing!!! Patience is a virtue, I guess! I don’t know how long it will take me to feel safe with putting metal or foil into a “microwave” because it feels so wrong after being taught not to do that my whole life hahahaThis is the microwave you’ve been looking for!!!

Updated review: Bought this for the air fry function to consolidate space in our kitchen, initially it was not very good, even thought we might have a defective unit. We would put food in for upwards of a half hour and it would come out warm but not hot. Turns out it just needed a lot of space, space our previous appliances didn't need. There is at least a good 6" buffer now all the way around (vs 1" near the wall) and it's working much, much better. I'm now happy with the results even thought it looks odd like it wants all the attention on the counter but it still frees up another counter space letting me ditch our old air fryer so I'll keep it.

‎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.
