Our take
ML-EM45PIT(BS) is a 1.6-cu.-ft. countertop inverter model with sensor presets, 1,250-W output and a 13.6-in. turntable.
Compare it when the larger cavity, sensor menus and 13.6-in. tray match your dishes. The 1,350-W input and exact BS finish code deserve careful installation and listing checks..
Choose another model if you require a confirmed trim kit or need a direct current Amazon page matched to the BS suffix.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact BS manual distinguishes 1,250-W cooking output from 1,350-W input.
- A 13.6-in. turntable, sensor presets and ten power levels are documented.
- Toshiba's product-code disclosure keeps ML-EM45PIT(BS) distinct from ML-EM45PIT(SS).
What to weigh up
- The historical renewed ASIN did not verify a current exact-model listing.
- No compatible trim-kit path is established in the reviewed BS sources.
- The 1,350-W input is a separate electrical figure that should be checked against the unit plate and circuit.
The key details
| Model covered | ML-EM45PIT(BS) |
|---|---|
| Capacity | Toshiba lists 1.6 cu. ft. of oven capacity. |
| Microwave output | Microwave output is 1,250 W; separate microwave input is 1,350 W. |
| Cooking approach | Sensor presets, ten levels, quick start, defrost, multi-stage cooking and energy/sound controls are documented. |
| Installation options | Countertop placement and 120-V/60-Hz supply are documented; no trim kit is established. |
| Finish and turntable | The exact suffix is (BS), with a 13.6-in. turntable and documented black-stainless finish. |

What the features mean for you
Is the cavity large enough for your usual dishes?
Toshiba lists 1.6 cu. ft. for this countertop model and a 13.6-in. turntable. Those measurements are more useful together than capacity alone: compare the tray diameter with round plates and allow a platter to rotate without touching the cavity walls. A nominal cavity volume does not show usable height or rectangular width. Check cookware against the exact oven interior and the manual before deciding whether this size fits your routine.
How should you interpret the two wattage figures?
The manual lists 1,250 W of microwave cooking output and 1,350 W of input. Use output for the finder comparison; do not replace it with input or describe the larger number as cooking power. Input is an electrical planning detail, so check the exact rating plate and instructions for the circuit requirements. Neither figure predicts a particular cooking time, which also depends on portion, container, starting temperature and the cooking instructions.
What does the sensor and inverter control set include?
The exact manual documents sensor-cook presets and ten power levels, alongside quick start, time and weight defrost, multi-stage cooking, energy saver, child lock and a buzzer setting. These are named functions rather than evidence of personal cooking results. Sensor settings are useful to compare with a basic timed model if you want the oven's documented automatic programs, but follow the menu directions and do not assume a preset suits every amount or container.
What does the BS suffix mean?
The exact manual names ML-EM45PIT(BS), and a model-specific supplier reference identifies the finish as black stainless. Toshiba's product-code disclosure separately lists ML-EM45PIT(BS) and ML-EM45PIT(SS). Keep those suffixes intact: the SS product page is not used to establish BS facts, and an internal engineering code is not treated as a retail alias. Check the suffix in the seller listing and on the rating plate before comparing finishes or parts.
Can it be installed as a built-in microwave?
The reviewed manual identifies countertop installation and does not establish an optional trim-kit route for the BS model. Do not infer kit compatibility from a different Toshiba suffix or from another model in the same family. Follow the specified countertop clearances and confirm voltage, frequency and circuit details against the actual unit. A separate supplier record supports the finish and basic model, but it does not replace Toshiba's installation instructions.
Is the old renewed Amazon code usable?
The historical Amazon page for ASIN B08H9RQVZT failed, so this product does not use that ASIN as a verified direct destination. Its merchant link is a tagged search for ML-EM45PIT(BS). That distinction matters because the exact (BS) finish is separate from the (SS) code and renewed condition describes an old offer state rather than a different microwave. Confirm the model suffix, finish and current seller details before checkout.
What else to compare
Compare the separate (SS) variant only if stainless finish is preferred and its own specifications meet your needs; consider another model when a documented trim-kit route is required.
Before you buy
What are its output and input ratings?
The manual lists 1,250-W microwave output and 1,350-W input.
What is the turntable size?
The exact model manual specifies a 13.6-in. turntable.
Is the BS model the same as the SS version?
Toshiba lists them as separate suffixes; the SS page is not used for BS facts.
Is the historic renewed ASIN proven?
No; use the tagged search and confirm the exact ML-EM45PIT(BS) suffix.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.

The decision
The exact BS model combines a 1.6-cu.-ft. cavity, sensor controls, 1,250-W output and 13.6-in. tray; input and finish are sourced separately, while trim and historical ASIN mapping remain unresolved.
