4-in-1 ToastWave

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.

We bought this device due to it having 4 things in one.... BUT it is a jack of all trades master of none, well the microwave is good... We tried the air frier function tonight, we had some panko breaded frozen shrimp. The box only had fryer or shallow frying directions, so I looked online for air fryer directions every where I looked from frozen the size shrimp should take 8 to 10 minutes at 350 or 400. I started the Galanz at 400 and put the shrimp in for 8 minutes... After 8 minutes the air fryer device was hot but the shrimp were still cool to the touch... I added 10 more minutes at 400 and the shrimp were now warn but clearly still raw :-( we looked in the manual and were SHOCKED to see that a 20 oz of chicken wings take 42 minutes, this is 5+ minutes more than in a non convention over for 2 full sheet pans of wings! The closest to the shrimp in the manual is chicken nuggets, 10 oz of chicken nuggets is supposed to take 30 minutes!?!? In almost any other air fryer chicken nuggets should take give or take 10 minutes! How is the Galanz claiming to be an air fryer when it takes as long or longer than a conventional oven to cook food?!?! Air fryers are supposed to use high temp air and a powerful fan to cook food in much less time than an oven. We tried toasting bread in the Galanz and it took 5 to 6 minutes... If you are toasting 5 or 6 pieces this isn't bad if you are tasting less than 4 pieces any decent toaster will do it better and faster. We bought this hoping to save some counter space (toaster, air fryer, and toaster oven) but between the lack luster preference in all but the microwave the Galanz is nothing but a huge expensive waste of space. But the microwave seems to do a decent job, but nothing amazing. UPDATE: After having this unit for 3 weeks now, and cutting up the shipping box :-( we have decided that this device is a complete waste of money! The air fryer function is nothing but a bad heater with a fan, it takes longer to cook items in airfry mode than it takes to bake them in the oven AND NOTHING is crispy. Just like other reviews have said, the turntable design is terrible, if you put anything off center the weight knocks the turntable off the drive mechanism anf the turntable doesn't spin causing hot spots or burning. The taster function is garbage it doesn't work well and is much slower than the toaster oven we are hoping to replace. This is actually our 2nd of this microwave, the first sparked when the turntable rotated... I called customer service and my call was answered by an answering service. I was told I would get a call back in 2 to 3 business days... It has been over a month and I haven't gotten a call back (and have sense shipped that one back to get this one). All in all due to lack of response from customer service and terrible performance of functions I cannot recommend this unit to anyone.

Marca error 30 y no funciona el microondas.

This is very stylish in my kitchen and works very well, I have it for last few weeks, didn’t have a chance to use all the options. I contacted directly with their customer service with some issues and questions and they were very helpful and generous and responsive, that’s such a relief, because this a fairly expensive equipment and it’s a peace of mind to have a responsible and caring after sale customer service company behind it. I will update this after few month using the air fryer more.

I purchased this microwave in May 2024. Shortly thereafter, the non-stick coating on the turntable began to deteriorate and peel. Regrettably, I did not request a replacement within the one-year warranty period, and the issue has progressively worsened. The manufacturer has declined to offer any assistance or resolution. Based on this experience, I would advise against purchasing this brand.

I've used this toast wave unit for about a week now and I'm very pleased with my investment

After using this product for about a year, I can confidently share my opinion about it. In my view, it is not a good product at all. The microwave oven, toaster, and especially the air fryer are very weak and require more time than usual to complete tasks. And you will not have a good result in the end! I do not recommend this product at all, and if I had to buy it again, I would definitely not choose this product.
