Our Verdict

Toshiba ML-EM45PIT(BS)

Samsung MS19DG8500SR

The Toshiba ML-EM45PIT(BS) and Samsung MS19DG8500SR are both countertop microwaves, but the Toshiba is the better option for most people. It heats food faster despite the Samsung's higher advertised wattage, and it's easier to use, since setting a basic reheat takes fewer button presses than on the Samsung. The Samsung model's main advantage is space. Its cooking chamber is considerably larger, so it's the better choice if you regularly reheat large dishes.
