Overview
The Toshiba OA-EM19PH(SS) is a 1.9 cubic foot over-the-range microwave with a 1000 watt output, a 400 CFM two-speed exhaust fan, and a soft-close door meant to prevent slamming. It is built around a redesigned mounting bracket Toshiba says cuts installation time.
Toshiba markets it as holding multiple plates via its 13.5 inch turntable, but at least one reviewer disputes that in practice, saying it does not hold multiple plates the way the listing implies and that no extra shelf is included. The same reviewer also found the interior light weak with no way to brighten it, and thought the exhaust fan felt underpowered for its stated 400 CFM rating.
- 1.9 cu ft capacity, 1000W output / 1500W input
- 400 CFM two-speed exhaust fan
- ChefDefrost cuts defrost time by about 40%
- 24 preset menus, 11 power levels
Who it's for
Suits kitchens or RVs replacing an existing over-the-range microwave where the compact 29.9 x 15.7 x 16.4 inch footprint matters, as one reviewer confirmed it fit a Class A motorhome cutout precisely. Not a fit for anyone relying on the multi-plate capacity claim, since real-world feedback contradicts it.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers were split on the details. One buyer disputed the multi-plate claim, found the interior light weak, and wanted a stronger vent fan setting, though called installation and packaging good. Another confirmed it fit precisely into a motorhome's existing cutout with easy mounting. A third had their first unit fail within weeks but said Toshiba's replacement process was fast enough to leave them satisfied.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Soft-close door with hydraulic damper
- Redesigned bracket makes installation straightforward
- Sensor cooking and ChefDefrost automate common tasks
- Fits precisely into existing OTR microwave cutouts
Performance notes
ChefDefrost is built to cut defrosting time by about 40 percent versus standard settings, and the sensor detects food moisture to adjust cook time automatically across 24 presets and 11 power levels. One buyer's first unit failed within a few weeks, but reported that Toshiba's replacement process was fast and the second unit has worked well since.
