I am reviewing the Galanz ToastWave.Very fast (3-day) shipping by Amazon. I must have bought it on a cyber sale or something, because when I clicked on the link to make a review, the price was $200 more than what I paid. When the huge box arrived, there were a few tears in the box, but the oven was in perfect shape due to the styrofoam it was packed in. I did notice some scratches on the control panel, but there is a clear sticky protective layer on top that was hard to see. Just peel it off and it is beautiful. It is big and beautiful. After I removed my old microwave and toaster, I actually have more room on my countertop now, but I made a little (trial) extension out of wood to slide it over closer to the refrigerator over the gap between the countertop, to give me more room. The hinges of the door are on the left, and it is a good sized door, so if you are mixing something on a small countertop and need to open the door, I had to move whatever I had on the countertop just to open the door.I have tried everything except the Sensor modes (which I don’t understand yet), and everything works great. The controls are pretty easy to figure out, and I really like the functions of the dial. I’ve never used auto settings on previous microwaves or ovens, as I prefer to adjust my own power, temperature and time. The bake “cake” auto setting is pretty accurate on time and temperature, but I prefer to set my own.You can easily fit a 9” x 13” baking pan inside, long-way straight in only, but there is no way to turn off the turntable (except in microwave mode as far as I can tell), so it is always turning underneath the baking pan, which is too long to do a complete circle inside the oven, so the pan gets shifted to one side until it can’t move anymore, but the turntable keeps turning under the pan. The instructions say to use the turntable, so I’m not sure if you can just stick the pan in there on top of the heating elements, but I think not. The manufacturer did say that the oven works best when using the turntable. My brownies turned out great in a 9x13 pan, sitting on top of the turntable, and baked evenly, but I’ll worry about wearing out the top of the turntable by rubbing on the bottom of the pan. A 12.5” round pizza pan fits perfectly inside of the turntable, so I’m going to have to get a few more of those round pans to bake cookies and other things so the pan can spin around.UPDATE 1/7/21:I saw the wear marks on the bottom of my 13x9 pan from the turntable, so that won't happen again. Not a problem for me, but I wish I could turn the turntable off. You can only turn it off in Microwave mode. I now bake 8x8 pans for brownies, and just cut smaller slices. The brownies are a little thicker, and the frosting is thicker, so oh no, poor me.I rarely write a review in the first place, for anything, except to bitch about something. For me to write a follow-up, just means that I REALLY have an opinion. I don't think I can really explain how cool this thing is. I'll try.Once you get the hang of this oven, it will do almost anything. I made convection Pillsbury muffins this morning for the first time, and they came out just beautiful, browned perfectly on top and bottom. Tonight I made meatloaf and acorn squash. Boom. Perfect. I'm not a good cook. I set the timer to what the package said. Ding, Ding Ding, it's done.Get yourself a low wire grate to put onto the turntable (see picture), then put your pan on it. If you want to make a 12" pizza, get a 12" pan with holes in it, otherwise the bottom of the crust is soggy, if you use the pizza setting and a flat pan. The top gets too brown, and the crust is soggy. I have best luck on either "bake" or "Convection". I will never use all of the other automatic options that are available.When I used the broil setting, for making cod fish the other night, smothered in butter, it turned out better than I've ever made in my oven broiler.Just wanted to let you guys know that this is a pretty nice machine.

I really liked the Toastwave since I have a small kitchen and it provides multiple functions and saves space on needing multiple appliances. Unfortunately, the product breaks after about 14 months of use. This happened to me not once, but twice! The first time it happened, it was just outside the warranty window from the date of purchase, but they had actually delayed shipping it, so I was able to get a refund cause it was within a year of when I received. It was really disappointing that it broke within such a short period of time for such an expensive device, especially since I travel so there are weeks at a time where it isn’t even being used.After I got the refund, I thought maybe I just had a bad unit, so i used the refund to purchase another one. This one ended up breaking after 14 months, within that 14 month, i probably spent about 3 months away, so in my eyes, not even a years worth or use.The device itself is ok when it works. Air frying takes about 2 or 3 times longer than traditional air fryers. The microwave works well, the sensor reheating is like a 3.5 out of 5 star in reheating leftovers, but gets the job done with some inconsistent temperature of the food on the plate. Toast is ok, obviously not as accurate as a toaster or even toaster oven, but again does the job and a decent tradeoff for the all-in-one unit.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this product after it broke on me twice just around the end of the warranty period with what I consider light use (maybe once or twice a day)

First we bought a returned unit. It wasn't packed well and got dented one one end in shipment. It is currently out of stock so I can't return it and reorder :-\ (but other wise it's fine)If you want an air fryer forget it. It works quite well as a microwave and the oven function works satisfactorily.We bought it because the only place in our kitchen for a microwave is under the island counter. The up facing controls make it workable in this application. I'm surprised they don't show it in a low mount application in the ad.I read another review stating that one had to press five (I think) buttons to get it to microwave. The controls may take getting used too but the microwave can be turned on just using the knob (a combination of pushing and turning). ( a sticker on the front of the unit saying "Push and turn for microwave" would help with those of us who read the directions last or never.I think there should be an alternative to the very pricey under counter drawer microwaves (or they need to drop in price). This was a step in that direction and no other exists. I think this units dismal reception was primarily due to the over billed air fryer function. - Sad. I doubt the unit will be available of long.Update: I do agree the smoke "glass" door is too dark (or the light is too dim) as you can't see inside. I also very much wish the knob was recessed into the panel and had finger "divot" to spin it as bumping it turns it on and sometimes for 90 minutes! A turn and push sets the time and turns it on. If you turn it to the left and push it counts down from 90 minutes - easy to do with a bump. Also the knob is not that sturdy and is likely to get broken . Not great for under counter mounting - much less children (needs a lock) . Another issue is the toaster function. The toasting element is only in the back half of the oven so a revolving piece of bread gets toasted very slow (5+ minutes). If you could set the bread higher directly under the element (no rotation) it would toast much faster.If product designers are reading - inverter microwaves can be very desirable for RVers. They are very efferent and the power can be lowered if one has a limited size inverter. (This microwave pulls no more that 400 watts on setting 3 and the literature says 1050 Watts on setting 10). Also, I think there should be no reason they should not be compatible with modified sine wave inverters but this one errors out (E46 - I think). I think this microwave was a prototype.
