More from this brandAll TOSHIBA countertop microwave ovensOverview
The Toshiba OptiChef Basic ML2-EC09AIB is a 0.9 cu ft, 6-in-1 countertop unit in black stainless steel that handles microwaving, air frying, convection baking, broiling, defrosting, and Speedy Combi cooking in a compact footprint.
This is the smaller, entry tier of Toshiba's Optichef line, built for space-limited kitchens rather than full households. The trade for the compact size is a smaller 0.9 cu ft cavity than the brand's larger Optichef model.
- 6-in-1: microwave, air fryer, convection, broil, defrost, combi
- 1800W convection reaching 425F for air frying
- Origin Inverter Technology for even heating
- Includes bake tray, wire racks, and recipe cookbook
Who it's for
Studio apartments, dorms, RVs, or a second kitchen station where counter space is tight. Larger households needing bigger batch sizes should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compact footprint fits small kitchens, dorms, and RVs
- Quieter operation at roughly 50dB
- Ships with bake tray, dual wire racks, and a 47-recipe cookbook
- 10 dedicated air fry presets plus 6 defrost programs
- 0.9 cu ft capacity limits batch size
- Only available in black stainless finish
Performance notes
Toshiba's Origin Inverter Technology delivers continuous power instead of pulsed cycles, aimed at more even reheating and defrosting. A 1800W convection system circulates air 360 degrees around the cavity and can reach 425F for air frying with little to no oil, using the included bake tray and dual wire racks for airflow.
