TOSHIBA Countertop Microwave Oven 1.5 Cu Ft

Overview

The Toshiba ML-EC42P(SS) is a 4-in-1 countertop combo oven that combines microwave, air fry, and convection cooking in a 1.5 cu ft cavity with a 13.6 inch turntable, sized to fit a whole roasted chicken or a 12-inch pizza.

Rather than a single-function microwave, this adds a convection element and an air fry mode on top of standard microwave and combination cooking, plus sensor-based presets for foods like frozen pizza and vegetables. The mute function is a small but specific detail: holding the 8 key for a few seconds silences the buzzer entirely, which matters more than it sounds for anyone using it near a sleeping household.

• 4-in-1: microwave, air fry, convection, and combination cooking
• 1.5 cu ft cavity, 13.6 inch position-memory turntable
• Sensor menu presets for popular foods
• Mute function and stainless steel finish

Who it's for

Fits someone who wants one countertop appliance to cover microwaving, air frying, and convection baking instead of three separate machines, with enough capacity for a whole chicken or a 12-inch pizza. Less suited to anyone who only needs basic reheating, where the added functions and larger footprint are unnecessary.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Combination cooking runs microwave and convection heat together rather than one after the other, and auto bake, defrost, and auto roast menus pair with sensor-based presets tuned for foods like frozen pizza and vegetables. The 13.6 inch turntable holds its rotational position (position memory) so larger dishes come out evenly cooked instead of stopping askew.
