"We bought this combi microwave as a replacement for a previous Sanyo machine which had served us well for many years. In comparison this model has a larger turntable that actually accommodates a whole chicken (good), but is somewhat lighter, which means it slides about when you operate it (annoying). It is also quite noisy whilst heating and the fan stays on after switching off
The oven cooks from the top and is very efficient do I have been able to reduce the cooking time for some items.
The microwave is fine..but I am used to being able to set a number (750/900 etc.) Whereas this has High/medium etc. so again some learning to adjust required.
In general though - a good size, nice looking and easy to operate for the basics (haven't tried the fancy programming yet - haven't needed to)"

"This is our third Panasonic microwave over the years. Although one of the more expensive combination microwave ovens, it has already proved a good investment. It has a plethora of well thought out cooking programmes. My wife will admit to not being a technophile, but she soon started to master the principles: the result, a tasty, moist and crispy skin roast chicken in under an hour. We’re keen to put this thought its paces with other recipes. A great kitchen workhorse. Really pleased with our purchase and happy to recommend it."

"It's a little more complicated then my last model and it's taken me a little longer to get used to. Overall,.It looks good and does it's job well."

"It is good. Just missing a few things we had on our old Samsung combination microwave.- such as handle for crisp pan, turntable stops turning when time is up - old one kept turning until door was opened, so always had mug handles facing you. Miss the 30 second button. Only minor things really that we have got used to on previous oven."
