"Had this a week now and even though I'm still working through the settings, I am quite impressed so far. The flatbed makes it easy to insert and remove plates, bowls etc.
The panacrunch setting works really well and reduces the cooking time by two thirds and leave such as fish fingers really crispy.
If I had to pick a fault with the machine so far it would be that the noise that it makes when the cooking timer goes off isnt loud enough and if you're in another room you could miss it but apart from that, so far so good"

"A highly versatile combination oven, the flatbed design works well along with the pull down door. The microwave cooks food evenly; if upgrading from a lower power microwave, remember to adjust cooking times as this one is 1000W. The convection oven preheats quickly and again gives good consistent results; certainly easier and more efficient than using a conventional oven for suitably sized items. The steam function is another bonus with the water reservoir easily accessible at the front of the oven alongside the drip tray. It’s worth spending time reading the instructions thoroughly to get the most out of this oven. Also bear in my that you need to follow the placement guidance carefully as the outer surfaces can get very hot. So far, no negative points identified."

"But the oven, grill and microwave work way better than my old separate oven and microwave ever did."

"The perfect kitchen appliance, Microwave, grill, over & steamer all in one. A great size, no annoying turntable, pulldown door. Very easy to use and program. Probably the best on the market at the moment."

"So far, I'm really pleased with it.
It's such a smart looking machine.
Still getting to grips with not having a turntable, and being new to a pull down door, not pressing a button to open the door. The dishes still cook evenly! wow! I've yet to try the steamer, everything else is, so far, great.
Oh,
I've not tried out the grill either yet, being used to my gas grill, and not wanting to have to clear fat splatters of my bright sparkly new oven, easy as it is to wipe over. I checked that it will work if I need it too though.

"We are very pleased with this microwave - it is very versatile and the controls are really easy to use. The steam function cooks all our vegetables really well and saves boiling pans on the hob. The steam feature was the reason we chose this model and we were surprised how reasonable this machine was compared to the only other steam microwave we had seen which was a Miele and thus very expensive.
The microwave is much more powerful than our old machine and heats food very evenly - Lots of space in the oven as there is no revolving plate.
We will seldom use the oven or grill functions as we prefer using our main oven, but I am sure they will come in handy when entertaining as oven space is often at a premium.
Overall we can’t fault the machine as it looks great, is really easy to use and seems well made. Clearly too soon to assess reliability but we have every faith in Panasonic products. "
