## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it talk to you?**
A: I am going to clear up a small misconception here.  I am a totally blind man myself, and I have purchased this product knowing the feature set and I can tell you it doesn't talk.  This is a microwave that simply connects through a wi-fi connection and uses the MSmartHome app along with alexa to control the unit.  The alexa device will do the talking.  One has to follow the given instructions to connect the unit to the app and  the wifi to get it to work.  It doesn't have to talk to be used by us blind people unless you want one with a voice built in and there is only one or two I know of that have that feature.

**Q: does the interior Light stay on while cooking AND when you open the door?**
A: Yes

**Q: does light come on when door is opened?**
A: Yes and also when in use. Goes off when not in use.

**Q: Where are the vents on this model (i.e., how many inches from the front surface? Would like to build it but not compromise ventilation.**
A: Hi friend, thank you for your interests in Toshiba EM131A5C-SS. Here are our answers to your question. 
When you are facing the microwave, the vent is on the right side of the back of the microwave and on the left side of the microwave, one is the air inlet and the other is the air outlet.
Actually, this is a Countertop Microwave Oven, we do not recommend you use this model for any built-in application as it was not designed for that type of installation. However that will be OK if you make a proper installation, a minimum clearance of 3.0 inches (7.5cm) is required between the oven and any adjacent walls. Also, one side must be completely unenclosed.
Hope the information provided above could answer your concerns. If we could be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us via our phone number 855-204-5313 or write email to us at customercare@us.toshiba-lifestyle.com. Thanks again for your trust and confidence in Toshiba, and have a nice day.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice oven
*by K***S on September 17, 2025*

This is my first Toshiba microwave. It is working well for us, with faster heating than expected for 1,000 watts. The slightly gray interior is very attractive and easy on the eyes. The size is ample for our needs. The child safety latch is easy to operate. A thorough instruction manual is provided and most of the operation is intuitive. The automatic re-heat function heats food hotter than we prefer, but that is the same as every other microwave we've owned, so we just re-heat with manual settings. Overall, I'm impressed with the quality and functionality of this oven.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Toshiba has (almost) perfected the microwave oven, but their customer service is TERRIBLE
*by P***) on July 23, 2025*

This oven checks ALL of (at least my) microwave wanted-feature boxes.I bought this Toshiba to replace a Panasonic oven that developed an unrepairable fault in its membrane-switch control panel. (You can't avoid membrane switches, unfortunately. They're universal in almost everything at this point. Microwave ovens, stovetops, refrigerators, you name it. They're all membrane switches unless you can afford semi-pro level gear.) I chose Panasonic at the time because I wanted inverter power control, and only Panasonic had it then.Since then, apparently Panasonic's inverter patents have expired. And that is why I was able to find this Toshiba oven, which, while a very little smaller than the one it replaces. hits ALL THREE of my top three most-wanted microwave features:— It has inverter power control instead of just duty-cycling the magnetron to PRETEND to be able to vary its power.— It has moisture-sensor smart cooking and reheating so that you don't HAVE to know how long to cook something for.— And it has AN ACTUAL DOOR HANDLE instead of an unreliable push-button to open the door.I HATE those pushbuttons. They invariably start sticking after a while, and then opening the door becomes a two-hand task, because you need one hand to push the stupid button and one to pull the door open. With the Toshiba, opening the door takes one hand, EVERY time. It's easy, positive, and certain. No more hammering (and swearing) at the button.As a BONUS, the pre-programmed feature that we most commonly used on the old oven, after sensor reheat — sensor-cooking frozen vegetables — is right on the front panel, so now it's two button presses (FRZ VEG, START) instead of eleven. Also, it's extremely quiet.The one minor complaints I have about this Toshiba oven is that it takes a little while to master the feel of its membrane-switch front panel. But face it, you're never going to find a microwave oven that doesn't have membrane-switch controls, unless you buy a commercial-kitchen model that just has two knobs and no fancy features at all.This is about as close as you're ever likely to find to the perfect microwave oven. I salute you, Toshiba.IMPORTANT UPDATE:Pray that you never have a problem with it, because Toshiba outsources their customer service to an outfit called NIDEA. If Nidea decides that your problem requires a return or refund to resolve it, they will send you a document containing instructions for finding and printing your Amazon full invoice via steps that DO NOT EXIST, because their document is YEARS out of date and neither amazon.com, nor the Amazon mobile app, nor the Amazon order confirmation email, looks like that any more. You won't be able to convince them of this. They won't understand. They'll just keep sending you the same instructions that you cannot follow because the links and menus that they tell you to follow physically do not exist.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feature-Packed and Reliable
*by M***T on September 3, 2025*

The air frying function takes a bit longer than a dedicated air fryer, but it still gets the job done. As a microwave, it works great and offers a lot of useful features like convection, broil, odor removal, and a memory turntable. A versatile appliance that saves space and does more than a standard microwave.
