Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After many hours searching through hundreds of counter top microwave's, I finally found this Toshiba EM925A5A-BS. We've had it for about 2 weeks now and use it 10 -20 times per day. The biggest feature I looked for was a way to turn off the d**n beeps that seem to be very much the only way they come on almost all other brands / models. There are a couple in the mega sized / $ 300 + range, but our microwave cooking habits as well as counter space size dictated a smaller unit at a more reasonable price. Finally stumbled across this one, with Toshiba even providing a comparison chart that showed this model actually allows you to easily and semi permanently disable ALL beeps (even button pressing beeps) with a single button push (hold down the # 8 key for 5 seconds and that's it!). What a joy not to have to stand by the microwave to catch it before finishing anymore. Yes, I am a bit a-d-d on all the alert beeping, alarm dinging, horn blaring noise pollution we are made to endure in this high tech age. Finally, a mfg noticed that there are a lot of us (try searching the internet or even just Amazon reviews for quiet, beep less, mutable, etc. microwaves and see how many are looking for this) that hate the 5 beeps which we must endure countless times a day. All other features of this guy are fine. 1 button push for 30 sec, and 1 - 6 minutes + some preset popcorn, beverage, etc buttons that we never use. No, it will not cook your Thanksgiving turkey or smoke a side of brisket, it is great for popcorn, baking potatoes, pre-cooking poultry pieces, vege plate, etc. basically anything that fits on a ~ 12" diameter plastic plate and isn't too tall. Attractive looking with a nice interior light and a sleek black silver exterior. Thank you Toshiba for coming up with beep controllable model this at such a reasonable price. Curious why all your higher end models don't also have this feature, but so glad you made it available on this one. Now, if I can only find a rice cooker that doesn't beep 12 times when the rice is done .........
