TOSHIBA ML-EM09PA(SS) Small Microwave Oven with 6 Auto Menus, Mute Function & Child Lock, LED Lighting, Perfect for Apartments & Dorms, 0.9 Cu Ft, 10.6 Inch Removable Turntable, 900W, Stainless Steel

I have been very pleased with this microwave. It looks nice, easy to clean and does a good job. I like the size. Saves space but plenty of room inside.

This is a great microwave for a small space.Easy to use.Perfect.I permanently took off the child lock.It was easy..no stress.I love it!!

[UPDATE at end] I've owned many microwaves, was the first person I know to buy one, in 1974. People use to come over to try it, a modern marvel. And wonder of wonders, this is the only other microwave since that original one (a Gaffers and Sattler) that explains in the manual how to make creative use of aluminum foil in the microwave! I didn't know you could still do that. The purchase was worth it for that knowledge alone (I was an old hand at using foil- on the wings of chickens, with rolls, bread, things that cook too quickly compared to other parts of the meal). No scrimping on the packaging- it arrived in a heavy-weight box within a box and encased in styrofoam, so no chance of dents or damage, yet easy to unpack.Aesthetically I LOVE this. I fancy it has a chunky retro mid-century look to it, like what a food replicator looked like on the original Enterprise. I don't have the best eyesight and the buttons are big and clearly labeled- can see them without my glasses. Ditto with the digital display, bright green; the light inside is bright too. The handle is thick and solid in your hand, pleases me every time I use it (haven't had a microwave in years with an actual handle, SO much better, feels decisive, purposeful, kinesthetically pleasing). The operation is intuitive (for the most part) and basic, well-thought-out, satisfying. I'm coming from a fancy Panasonic unit with inverter technology that I was in love with, but as is apparently common with Panasonic microwaves it died after a few months. It's a trade-off- I much prefer the look and operation of this (for example, the Panasonic had no number pad) but it takes slightly longer to cook, but that's okay.Being able to turn the sound off is a blessing. I'm living in my vintage travel trailer at the moment and have two little finches that don't need to be awakened at all hours (they answer the beeps with chirps). Relatedly the door makes a rather loud but not unpleasant thunk when closed normally, but it can also be closed gently, more quietly when desired- after a week it's already second nature to me. The microwave when running is quieter than most. Also wanted to say I nearly sent this back because the power level button didn't work. What an idiot- when all else fails read the manual. You change the power level AFTER you enter the cooking time.So far I love this thing, and like the many other Toshiba products I've owned over the years, hope it lasts a good long time. (After my experience with the short-lived Panasonic I got the three-year warranty- a bargain at $6.) But if it dies or malfunctions I'll update this review. Thank-you Toshiba!UPDATE: I had a senior moment and forgot to put the frozen lasagna in the microwave. I manually set it for seven minutes and pressed start. I was doing other things in the kitchen and about five minutes in the microwave went dead. No display, no power, nothing. It was HOT inside. Oh great, I blew a fuse or WORSE, I thought. I couldn't find the owner's manual. I tried unplugging it, plugging it back in, nothing. No re-set button on the back. SO disgusted with myself. Thought I was going to have to have it serviced or replaced. About 15 minutes later it came back to life, after it cooled off, good as new. Thank-you Toshiba!!

At the edge of affordable, and not as small as it thinks it is. The no-sound ability is wonderful. You can still hear the soft-tick when it's finished. So, that's lovely. Beware the shallow swinging door. For a microwave the door will stop short on you every time, and make you almost spill your stuff. One of the shortest door swings I've seen. The light inside is very intense, I covered some of it with painters tape to take the glare off. I flipped over the turn-table, because it rings out every time I set my coffee cup down. Even still, worth the few extra dollars for a established brand, with rep. Kudos!edit 2-3 months in, The unit heats and defrosts, and all that stuff it does, that I don't use. Works wonderfully! Excellent! Cannot tell you how many times I've seared myself over-zealously sip a shallow cup of coffee. It really is good, the light is still kinda bright after a single layer of painters tape, and some white masking tape, but workable(and doesn't seem combustible). It really is a space beacon that light, it will illuminate the moon, if you so desire, just point it. Anyhoo, my gripe is the door and the overall 'bouncy' nature of the object itself. Opening and closing the door is as jarring as a 2ft speedbump at 80mph. The force and resulting reactions are enough to place a cup inverted directly on top of your skull. You could shatter your Radius & Uina. It may dislocate both collarbones. Anything inside will ride a 3hr-90mph roller-coaster ride on the river Styx. The resulting force bouncing the unit into extreme extra-planetary orbit. You will have to call an aerospace company to recover it. I broke off the feet, in hopes of stabilizing it, no go. meh.It will blast all over some Pasta Alfredo, if you set it for 1:30 min 1/2, it will almost be completely thawed it. It will cook it all. It will heat the last gulp of coffee to inferno heat levels in that same 30sec, be careful. More than once now, rip my mouth & tongue. Thing gets HOT! The softening bread trick, 6-8 sec's in to soften it, use 3-4, it will melt it like fallout. The fluffy things get hot pretty quick, be ready to grab!The door takes a lot of force to open and close, excessive maybe. And the units locational shifting is problematic.But it cooks like a beast. 3 times a man it's size.Also be ready with a old file. All the corners where your hands touch. Even some of the plastic edges. Mainly just at top corner near handle. Where you touch it most. But, the burs will hack you apart. Took a few shots, over few days to get all the spots smoothed out. You wont find them all right away. as you grasp it over a few days, they will emerge. And find you. :)

Works great and the size is good if you don’t want it to take a lot of space

Compact and efficient, evenly heats food and great for small spaces. Easy to use and child lock feature is a plus. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this microwave! It’s child proof. It matches my other chrome appliances! Easy to use!

9.0 cu in Black - love it. Very quiet and works great. Would highly recommend. My last 3 were all new microwaves and the brand of a known retailer and each caught fire or started sparking for no reason. It was frightening when a fire broke out from one of them. Will only now use a name brand such as this Toshiba that is made safer and better and has been around for a long time. It also looks great !
