Kitchen gadgets don’t get much better than this handy Microwave Toastie Sandwich Maker, which is currently on sale at Amazon for Amazon Prime Day – and ensures perfect sandwiches every time
We all have a toastie machine hidden somewhere in our kitchen, don’t we? While a cheese toastie is the ultimate late-night snack or lunchtime treat, the process of retrieving the maker from the cupboard, waiting for it to heat up and then cleaning it afterwards can be somewhat off-putting and often not worth the bother.
This is why a handy little gadget from Morphy Richards is one of the best budget-friendly kitchen tools we’ve stumbled upon in quite some time. The Mico Microwave Toastie Sandwich Maker typically retails at £34.99, but shoppers can snag it with a massive discount of almost 50%, now £18.99 and the lowest price this year.

It’s incredibly easy to use: simply prepare your favourite toastie as usual, place it into the toastie maker, secure it down and pop it into the microwave for a couple of minutes for crispy, tasty toasties, paninis, bagels and more. Customers who have already purchased this quick and compact tool say it cooks toasties ‘perfectly’ in less than three minutes, with minimal clean-up needed.
It’s also perfect for taking to work when you only have access to a microwave, or for any fresher starting university this September. Instead of having to purchase a new toastie machine or hauling an old one from home, just pack this one instead.
Elsewhere, Lakeland stocks the Crimpit Toastie Maker for £14.99. Meanwhile, over at Ninja, the Foodi Health Grill and Air Fryer is available for £219.99.
The Mico Microwave Toastie Sandwich Maker has gained a stellar average rating of 4.5 out of five from more than 2,930 reviews. One customer said of this Morphy Richards machine: “Excellent product, perfectly toasted sandwich, crispy on the outside and hot and tasty on the inside, perfect size for one person, well worth the price.”
A second reviewer wrote: “I bought this following an advert via TikTok, where I work we aren’t allowed toasters only microwaves but sometimes I just want a toastie so I bought this. It’s very easy to use. You only need a smidge of butter as the non-stick coating is excellent. Two-and-a-half minutes in microwave and its done. Just a wipe clean with a cloth and its ready to use again. Small and doesn’t take up much room.”

Meanwhile, another buyer added: “Not used my old traditional toastie machine in ages. No waiting for it heating up so it saves time if you then want to make another. The toastie is as crisp as the traditional machine and its just as melted and cooked inside. Best thing I’ve bought in a long time.”
A further reviewer stated: “Having been in hospital for a few months we were limited on food we could eat. This was a game-changer and allowed us to make lovely toasties and paninis in the microwave. Cooks really quickly and can be used the same as a traditional sandwich maker.”
The Mico Microwave Toastie Sandwich Maker has received mixed reviews, however, with one customer branding it “expensive” and stating: “I was drawn to buy this by the reviews and video but personally found it substandard and not worth the nearly £35 I paid. Disappointed. Just not for me.”
In contrast, an 80 year old man left a glowing review: “I am an 80 year old single male and I have just bought one of these simple to use pieces of kit. I’ve made cheese and tomato, cheese and onion and cheese and ham toasties. They take four minutes in the microwave and come out perfect. Washing the unit afterwards couldn’t be easier. Buy one you won’t regret it.”
