TOSHIBA Air Fryer Combo Microwave, 1.0 Cu.Ft, Black Stainless Steel

Our old microwave started sparking. As I started looking for microwave options, I came across this 8 in1 combo unit. We have not been able to use all the features that are available. We have tried the microwave feature. It is excellent, it hits the food very quickly and effectively. We’ve also tried the air fryer, and it does an excellent job as well, the broil also works very well. Finally, we have also used odor removal, which does remove a lot of the remaining smells. The inside is stainless steel, which makes cleaning it very easy. I had a read somewhere that it is too noisy. Ours is not. In fact, it’s a lot quieter than our old unit. We are empty nesters, and did not need a family size unit. It’s not too big, not too small.

We bought this for our son’s apartment and it has been such a great upgrade. It’s one of those appliances that just makes life easier. Having the air fryer, microwave, and everything else in one unit is perfect for a smaller space. It saves room but still does everything he needs. He loves it. He uses it way more than we expected, whether it’s heating something up quickly or actually cooking a full meal. The air fryer feature is a big win. Food comes out crispy and tastes so much better than a regular microwave. It also looks really nice on the counter. Clean, modern, and not bulky or awkward. It feels like a step up from the typical basic appliances you throw in an apartment. If you’re setting up a dorm or apartment, this is such a smart buy. It’s practical, easy to use, and feels like a real upgrade.

FYI: Read the Consumer Report prior to purchase. Paste of their findings: If you've ever worried that your electronics may have a mind of their own, this story could increase your fears of home appliance dangers. In June 2026, Consumer Reports (CR) issued a safety alert that certain Toshiba microwave units were causing scary issues like smoking, sparking, and even igniting fires. This was caused by the microwaves or air fryer and microwave combos overheating. The reports indicated that this stemmed from the units starting on their own or adding heating time without the button being pressed. Between January 2023 and April 2026, customers filed 28 incident reports about the appliances with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, according to CR. Owners of the appliances have also been turning to social media to warn about these safety issues. Consumer Reports is urging people who own these microwaves to be extremely careful. Toshiba air fryer and microwave combination models ML2-EC10SA, ML2-EC10SA(BS), and ML2-EC09SA are of concern. Regular microwaves with model numbers EM131A5C and EM925A5A-SS were also reported. Juan Alberto Arguello, PhD, CR's test program leader for product safety, explained the dangers of these malfunctions and the precautions to take. "If you have one of these appliances, your safest bet is to monitor it while it's operating, don't leave it unattended while in use, avoid storing items inside the microwave, and unplug it after using it," he said, adding. "Plastic and insulation overheating can produce hazardous fumes, including formaldehyde or other toxic compounds, depending on the plastics and coatings involved."

There’s a bit of a learning curve but once you figure it out this is a fantastic little appliance. We haven’t used our regular oven since we got it and got rid of our old leaky air fryer. It saves a lot of space on the counter. My only complaint is the amount of moisture that covers the inside when you’re microwaving, it’s a lot. When liquid is involved the moisture is so thick it drips out of the front bottom when you open the door. I have to wipe the inside down every time I use it and leave the door open like the washing machine or I worry it will rust and smell, but it’s been an absolute workhorse for us. We use it multiple times a day and air fry more now because we don’t have to get an another appliance out to use it.

This is the best appliance. It is the perfect size for feeding 3 kids quick in a pinch. The air fry setting works better than my xl large air fryer that I had bought a few years ago. Would 100% recommend. I made pizza rolls and fries without a fuss and better than oven or frying with out the mess.

Not sure I should expect so much from a product that claims to be both an air fryer and microwave. The microwave works perfectly and am happy with that ... but could have saved money if that is all I wanted. And the air fryer function (and regular oven) certainly work - but not well. I mean yeah it heats up, but it does not cook evenly like my other air fryer did. The bottom never gets done which suggests to me that the convection part of the oven does not do a good job. You would think it could do something comparable to a toaster oven, but it does not. You can't even toast bread. Thought it was funny when I watched one of the un-boxings on YT and they were demonstrating toast ... they never showed the bottom. Now I know why. And I don't like the single control knob design. It feels flimsy and it just isn't convenient. Shouldn't be difficult to set the temp and time. There is plenty of space on the control panel to just have a touch key pad for setting time. Knob worked great for temperature, so no complaints there.

Edit: Toshiba made it right!! They sent me a new one to replace the one I previously rated. Thanks to Catherine and the customer care team for taking care of me. Previous post below. I bought this 8 in one in February and it has already stopped working. Was in the middle of using and just stopped for no reason. No lights no power and it’s not the house breaker. Very frustrating for such an expensive device.

I love this oven. I live full time in a RV, so everything must have a double duty. This truly fit the bill. Plus it does not heat the RV up as much as the gas oven. I do see 2 design flaws, however. First, there is an extreme amount of condensation. To the point it drips off the door when you open it. Second, both of the racks it comes with have 3 legs. Not very stable. I did find some 4 legged trays and ordered them. Much better. Over all, I have recommended this oven to several people! Would buy again!

It works great, very happy with it.

Se parece que esta funcionando muy bien. Es mas rapido que otros con el micro. Vamos a ver como sigue.

Lo compre para mi mamá y la verdad si es algo complicado . Es de tener que estar leyendo las instrucciones solo para que este en la función correcta . Y no se le puede poner tiempo especifico en el microondas solo incrementos de 5 segundos . Y tarda mucho en calentar . Por ejemplo un vaso de agua en otro micro se calentaba con 45 segundos y este necesita hasta 2.5 minutos para que caliente igual . Por la complejidad lo voy a tener que regresar

I absolutely love this 8-in-1 Combi Microwave! A common issue with other combo microwaves is that they’re underpowered—but not this one. You can adjust the temperature to fit your needs, which makes a big difference. Just make sure to read the instructions before using it so you’re not caught off guard. Enjoy! ***The seller, Rose_Range, has been amazing. I had some difficulties with a different seller regarding a separate order, and things got a little confusing during a chat with an Amazon Associate. Even though Rose_Range had nothing to do with that situation, they still stepped in and helped—something they weren’t obligated to do at all. Their support was incredibly thoughtful and above-and-beyond. It’s easily the best customer service I’ve had on Amazon. If you’re considering buying from them, don’t hesitate—they truly care about their customers and it shows.***

It works very well
