Went online to Best Buy Canada and got what I thought was a deal at the time from Marketplace seller VGi. It was open box so no returns.
It looked brand new. It had all the packaging and accessories. It stopped working after a year and two months. The warranty for parts and labour was a year.
I never got to try all the fancy options - I only ever reheated or defrosted food :-(.
AI definition of "Open box" states a product's original packaging has been opened, but the item itself is typically still in near-new, unused, or lightly used condition, and often comes with the manufacturer's warranty.
Repair costs are so high I am just going to look for another microwave from a reputable brand who takes pride in their products instead of creating something that is essentially disposable to make a quick buck.
(Seriously, it died in just over a year, just past the one year warranty???).
I will not be buying any Toshiba appliances in the future - new or "near new".
