Toshiba EC042A5C-BS Microwave Oven Review: Best with Convection Oven Combo

The details

The beautiful and spacious 1000Watts microwave has 10 different power levels and stainless steel black finish for a timeless look. 21.8 x 21.5 x 13’’ exterior size with 1.5 cu. Ft. internal capacity makes it a family-sized microwave. 13.6’’ diameter glass turntable and sensor function present optimally heated food each time.

Features        

The highlighting feature is the use of convection technology. It comes with a convection function featuring 4 auto bake and auto roast menus. Also, there are reheat and grill options. Integrate smart sensors detects humidity during cooking and automatically adjusts power and temperature. 21 preset recipes, sensor cooking, easy 2 defrost options, warm hold, express cooking 1-6 minutes, and memory function make it a feature-rich microwave oven.

Ease of use

The door opens via the handle and a large control panel further enhances the user’s experience.

When the oven reaches the cooking temperature, it alerts you by beeping twice. However, there’s a sound on/off function to mute the alarms. Built-in overhead bright lights allow seeing the cooking food inside the microwave.

Quality

You can bake, roast, grill, or reheat your favorite meals in less time. This efficient microwave also features a grill rack to keep foods like pizza crispy while baking. Powerful hot air convection creates uniform heat distribution to reach every part of the food.

Food remains crispy on the outside but fully cooked on the inside. Results are fast and even cooking/heating.

Value

It’s easy to clean; the durable stainless steel interior is durable, antibacterial, and scratch-resistant so cleanup is a breeze. Eco save mode will help you save 50% energy on standby mode.

Final verdict

If you ready to spend money on a quality kitchen appliance, this 2-in-1 microwave will be a good choice. It’s spacious to cook or reheat a whole family meal at once.

Not very practical for those who require a basic countertop microwave to reheat their leftover food, the convection oven function is of no use. Plus, it’s not a suitable choice if you’re on a restricted budget.
