I like my combination microwave very much and was pleased to get it for such a good price.
Pro’s. It’s a powerful 1000w
Easy to clean
Has a good easy to follow manual.
Cons. Printing colour on the control panel
is very pale.
The grill function does not brown
anything I put in. Things just get very
hot. I’ve checked, and the element
glows red, it just doesn’t brown the
food.
I am really happy with my purchase. It is big enough to grill or cook a small meal on convection without using the ove
As this model is rather more complex than my last one, it is nice to have a well written handbook. Also excellent illustration. At the moment I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Good bit of kit, does what says on the box.
After a rocky start the first one arrived faulty, but amazon arranged collection for faulty one and a replacement within days , which after that it’s exactly what I wanted a good combination oven which is a good size without looking bulky then once you get to grips with it its easy enough to work so all round I’m happy with my purchase
Not had it long but getting the hang using different functions, I really like like how compact this multi function microwave is seems to have all the whistles and bells and the instruction booklet is great with lots of clear instructions and lots of menus to try out well done Panasonic
The microwave was well packaged and arrived undamaged, tested and is working perfectly, very pleased
As my new gas hotpoint oven is useless because top of food burns bottom not cooks I wanted to buy this oven. Definitely cooks better as convection oven. Microwave and grill is well too . I made a good choice to buy this.
Early days, but far more complex than I need. All very clever stuff, but this particular older person only requires basic functionality.
Have only used the microwave so far. Works well. Got hang of it fairly easily.
Extremely easy to use and clean. Great accompanying handbook because the recipes are numerous and easy to follow. Great product. Highly recommend
3rd one of these I have had. This new model seems to be superb
I bought the first model of this microwave 25 years ago and didn’t realise until recently that you’re not supposed to have a microwave for more than 10 years. Well, it worked perfectly so I didn’t have a reason to get rid of it. I decided to replace it with the newest model and it hasn’t disappointed. It has additional features and the only thing you can’t do in it is fry food – but who fries foods nowadays anyways? It’s quite stylish also and fits well in he kitchen.
Fantastic Combi oven grill microwave. I got this to replace my previous much older model which finally broke. Well worth the money. I use it instead of the normal oven as it is easier and more accurate to control. No kitchen is complete without this.
This wonderful combination microwave is easy to use,easy to clean and really good value for money.
Miss the shelving I had with my previous Panasonic oven. However appliance works well easy to control
I am using this product for everything just like a ‘normal’ oven. Fantastic, it is actually better than our built in oven. So quick when I do baguettes, sausages under the grill, bacon OMG!! When I make my jerk chicken, roast chicken, roast pork to name but a few, absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend this oven to EVERYONE. Buy one now, what are you waiting for?
Arrived quickly after ordering. It does everything I expected with plenty of cooking options.
Super method of doing jacket potatoes.
Performs well, but read the manual first. The highest microwave setting is very powerful and a mug of milk may easily boil over – about 1 minute 20 seconds is adequate. To be safe I often press the microwave button 3 times and give it 2 minutes at 600 watt. The oven is very light and the button to open the door is stiff, so unless the back of the oven is touching the wall it will slide on the worktop.
Bought this to replace my old Panasonic which was great,I used it as my main cooker. I am still getting used to this one as it is not quite the same. I haven’t made a cake in it yet,but for other stuff I’m finding I need it on lower heat.For combination on this one you have to press convection and micro,my other one was just one button press but it is a lot more expensive now..I shall get used to this model the more I use it and I am pleased with it.It is a compact size but a large turntable.
It’s very simple and easy to use, so far, the white finish looks a bit cheap , and the door opener , seems that it may break easily , it’s got a very good sized turntable, I don’t know why manufacturers have to use polystyrene instead of cardboard, but there you go , replacing a Sanyo stainless steel one , I had , had for many years
Nice staright forward easy to use, just what I have come to expect from Panasonic products
Bought to replace 40 Litre Sharp which was too big as family got smaller. The interior stainless steel does not appear to be as good quality as Sharp was. The back panel always shows some kind of marks on it, like when you get oil on water! Cleanliness may be an issue as you can’t see the fan area, unless you use a hand mirror The clock, to me, is superfluous, most kitchens already have one, and who wants to reset it each time it’s disconnected from the mains. So far have only cooked fish fingers, Yorkshire puds and frozen meals, all of which were perfectly done once I’d downloaded temperature conversation chart. Manual and cookbook are good.
I’ve been thinking for sometime about buying this machine to replace a standard microwave, and can say I’m so happy I did. I cook on a gas Rayburn which is totally different, so I’m having to adjust to just warming up croissants in the combo oven, using the grill for cheese on toast, jacket potatoes etc., because I wouldn’t heat up a huge Rayburn just for that. I bake cakes so that will be the next test.
People on here have been so helpful and supportive answering my questions, as have the Panasonic Team. I’m learning to cook again in a different way, but loving it. This machine had given me flexibility. Love it!
We bought this to replace a previous Panasonic microwave oven of similar specification which despite fairly heavy use has served well for around 10 years and then only met its demise when dropped by a decorator. Very pleased with it, the build quality appears excellent and although the controls are a little different from the previous machine it was immediately easy to use. The rack supplied was a little high for some of our requirements, but we retained that from the previous oven, so that was no problem.
Very pleased with microwave,good product.Quiet lots of choices on cooking very reliable.
Bought to replace simIlar that I had for years. This is slightly neater but good size inside. Very pleased with i
Really good cooks a whole Chicken crispy skin as well definitely recommended
Used only x4 so far: Convection; Microwave; Grill. Like it very much- roomy. Not only easy to use but easy to clean. Good purchase.
It is a replacement for an older machine that broke down after several years of satisfactory use, and carries on
with the good work. No problems
This is a brilliant multi use product. No wonder it was Amazon’s choice. Had to wait a little for delivery, but definitely worth it. Great product.
I have found the operating buttons hard to press due to arthritis in my hands but otherwise grea
Excellent replacement for my previous combination microwave. Better manual including more recipes – wonderful cakes particularly the brownies
This is primarily a microwave and the microwave facility is what is used mostly so why is the microwave select button placed third way down from the select buttons. It is difficult to select and I have had to place culoured stickers by the buttons so as make it easier to remember. That is my only criticism of the unit. Other than the design feature I complained about the Unit works fine
Great machine, simple to use. Instruction book has some great recipes also. This is my third combination oven and definitely the easiest to operate. Highly recommend
This is the second one of these that I’ve purchased – the last one lasted for years and was used every single day – the microwave and the convention oven. The microwave has an “Inverter” – not sure what that is but it seems to make it extremely powerful. I very rarely use my range oven – except at Christmas etc for larger numbers – as the convection oven is excellent too! I love this microwave and recommend it to all my friends and some have actually purchased one! I’d say that this is the best combination microwave on the market! And a good price too.
Love my new combi microwave. Used the combi/oven to make jacket potatoes, best ones I’ve had. Lovely and crispy on outside and fluffy potato inside.
I woud definitely recommend this combi/microwave. Very happy.
Work’s as advertised not put together as well as my old microwave needs more attention to detail
My mother in law loves this microwave, since she can’t use her conventional oven anymore. She finds it easy to use and to clean and cooks full roast dinners in it!
This microwave has proved to be a very successful purchase. It does everything as advertised and even grills steak perfectly (much to our amazement!) It is easy to use and as an added – and very important as far as we were concerned – bonus it comes with an instruction book.
One of the best buy and very plesent looking microwave easy to use well made big27 ltr and takes less room on your worktop
It looks good and seems to work well, the turntable mechanism rumbles at times, off putting for a new machine, the individual touch pads are rather small and a bit fiddley, after my previous Microwave which was much easier to operate, the 4 feet are very hard and small so the whole thing moves when pressing button to open door, I have stood it on rubber pads and it.s fine.
This was a replacement oven for a Panasonic which had worked very well over many years. The new one was very very noisy almost too loud to put up with. So I returned it I have ordered another Panasonic oven ,I just hope it is much less noisy.
Excellent microwave and convection oven, Grill is easy to use and keep clean. I live alone and use this appliance every day in some form . Very good value for money.
Purchased to replace its predecessor which is 26 years old and had began to not cook as thoroughly over 5 min. Revamped and the latest in digital display and up 150 on heat to a 1000 which obviously takes a fraction less time to cook food.
Also much less heavy to lift and move about than the original. Easier to clean too.
This was a replacement for a similar model we had for some years, but this model also features a convection oven which is superb. Being just 2 people at home now the main oven has become more or less redundant. Not much you can’t cook in this little beauty and a lot cheaper too I’m sure. Very pleased.
Really well made, plenty of features (some I will never use!). My only criticism. is that there is very little friction between the feet and the work top so you have to hold it round the back while you press the control buttons (the buttons need quite strong pressure.
This is an excellent attractive well built machine. It is a good microwave but does so much else. Do not be put off by the apparent complexity of the machine. Take it step by step and soon you will be master of this apparently complicated, do most everything item! The handbook is also, unlike some, quite well put together!
Off putting at first this machine soon becomes a friend!
It’s a good combi/microwave. Find it a bit complicated but I’ll get there.
This product has been superb, very easy to use and with great results, very large glass tray for microwave use and fast and powerful 1000w. the ingenious microwave and convection combination is extremely effective also and food appears much faster in my opinion locking in flavour as it goes. 5 out of 5. I do have to say that the seller of this product also went above and beyond with an incorrect purchase from me so also thank you.
Had to return the microwave because the turntable motor was making a crazy grinding sound. This cost me GBP 28 to return. I could have sent it to Panasonic for repair for free but I needed a microwave and didn’t want to wait who knows how long for a warranty repair. Also, brand new microwave so why not just send me a new one rather than a warranty repair.
Turntable on replacement microwave doesn’t make the noise but also doesn’t seem to move that smoothly. It’s kind of a juddery rotation rather than a smooth one.
Cooked a roast chicken in it and it came out pretty good considering the cook time was only 40mins. A pain in the ass to clean the microwave afterwards though! Small space, fat splatter etc. Nice and golden skin though.

A quick review from me.
The controls on this thing are a little different from my old microwave but I got used to it pretty quickly.
I’ve used this for microwaving, grilling and conventional cooking.
So far this was been excellent!
Grilling small items is super-quick as heat-up is only a minute or so.
For conventional cooking this is excellent.. again the heat-up time is only a minute or so.
I highly recommend this combi-ove
It functions the same way as my old one. There are ample programme and the skin line shape conceal a family sized 23cm glass plate. Grill function is excellent. I would say it is the best for a combi oven/micro and very good looking. Easy to wipe down too.
Very good item I’m well pleased with this used a few of the programs and all have worked out well
I purchased this microwave to replace previous Panasonic, which I had for 12 years, so hopefully will be just
as reliable. The features are virtually the same as the old machine but with a few extras. The 30sec press button
is very useful and the programme numbers help with auto roast and auto cook. The timer add is good too.
The only downside(which is why I gave it 4 stars] is the press buttons are a little faint to read, particularly in
low light, otherwise enjoying using this machine.
Had a previous version of this microwave which did sterling service so wanted another Panasonic. controls very similar to last one we had so no steep learning curves. Does everything we want of it and was in use within 35 minutes of delivery.
We have tried this for the last week and found it great. It is easy to use and so nice to have have a combination microwave that cooks so efficiently. It cook and browns to a tee.
Just what i wanted and quick delivery. Just hope it lasts longer than the 18mths of its predecesso
The controls on my earlier model of this were much easier to use. That said, the cooker is great and the ‘auto’ recipes are really good = perfect fish, roast chicken, etc.
This is the third one of these ovens I’ve had over a number of years, they are not as deep as many so sit nicely on a worktop. They are very powerful with a good oven and cooking options. I don’t use the grill as it tends to burn things if you aren’t careful.
The second Panasonic combi-microwave I have acquired because the first performed so well for a number of years!
Upgrade from last Panasonic. Can’t fault it. Cooks perfectly. Instructions easy to understand. A few reviews stating that it doesn’t have a 800 power outage. Simply decrease the time. There are plenty of conversions online. I just decrease initially by about 10 seconds if having to use the 900 power setting.
All in all a great replacement and would highly recommend.
My previous Panasonic microwave was brilliant and, when I needed a replacement, I didn’t hesitate to get another. This new model is proving to be an excellent choice. It’s very versatile and does exactly as promised. The instruction booklet is well worth perusing and the recipes have proved to be delicious and easy to make. I couldn’t recommend it more. Simply great.
Not my first microwave plus cooker, ‘buttons’ have changed, so needed to get to know new SET UP! still learning, hope soon to be happy with my new knowledge !!
Fits nicely on kitchen counter. Loads of room inside and ideal for warming beans to quick roasting a chicken.
This is our 3rd Panasonic microwave.
Previous to this model had a few issues with having to pull plug out of socket wait 3 mins then plug in again…weird! Bit the dust after 3 years..replaced fuse & still did not work.
This model is v similar layout with the controls so that’s why we went for it.
Was not prepared to pay 30 more just for silver colour!
This is the third one of these we’ve had over many years and it continues to impress.
This oven is very versatile and can be used for pretty well anything with its range of cooking options
We preferred the look of our previous model – it looked more like an oven than a typical microwave. We also preferred the “pull down” door over the side opening door, as we find it makes better and more convenient use of space. We also preferred the capacious nature of the flat bed in our previous model to the turntable in this one.
However, this model does seem to cook more efficiently than our previous model, which may well be down to having a turntable rather than a flat bed. Consequently, we are able to reduce cooking times and / or cooking temperatures to deliver an equivalent result.
This one has started to make a creaking noise from the door hinge too, so I am beginning to think it has something to do with heat build up.
It’s our second Panasonic. The previous one lasted us about 15 years, with no creaking sounds from the door hinges at all. We only replaced it because the interior light failed and we decided to replace the old model. My guess is that this one won’t last anywhere near as long. Nevertheless, it’s working well for now and for the reduced price, we are happy with it.
Seems to do everything I am likely to want to do. Took a little time to work out how it all works, but I’ve got it now .
I bought this to replace my old Panasonic combination microwave and am very pleased with my purchase.
Very good Inverter combi microwave. A little more complicated than the basic type. Excellent value and great delivery time.
I don’t often change my appliances but when my old combination microwave oven developed control panel issues and became difficult to use, I decided to replace it with a Panasonic NN-CT54JWBPQ inverter combination microwave oven. I was pleased to find that whilst the Panasonic has a similar footprint to my old oven, it has more interior space and certainly cooks well – however I have a couple of side-issues with it, namely that when cooking the door mists up internally and whilst the oven is in operation it wipes out my wifi signal, something that my old oven never did. The first issue is just an annoyance but I use WiFi in the kitchen for radio (and online/catchup TV) so it matters to me. If these issues doesn’t affect you then I can thoroughly recommend the Panasonic NN-CT54JWBPQ combination microwave oven.
Really happy with this purchase! Small footprint but has large base and plenty of room. Well made easy to operate, what’s not to like.
This microwave looks smaller on the outside than in, like a tardis, big inside, easy to use, good instructions, well worth the money. Recommended.
This device is very easy to use with good-sized buttons. The microwave cooks very evenly and is much better than a Morphy Richards microwave I had previously. A pouch of rice cooked perfectly in two minutes and it was obvious that the cooking was very even. The rice was nice and fluffy. It reheats food very well indeed; quickly, evenly and to temperature.
I have also used the oven as an extra to our main ones and and it heats plates up well and also cooks food well.
I really wish I had bought this before now.
I am very happy with the appearance and features of this product although I have not yet used it as a convector oven. I need a little more time with the book to brave myself into using this feature. My biggest disappointment was the delivery by Amazon. I suffer from a chronic lung condition in addition to macular sight problems and being 75 yrs old. Nevertheless the delivery men refused to lift the item inside my home into the desired place where I wanted it (3 metres). Apparently Amazon have a ruling that delivery men must not enter any property which means that in future I shall never order anything of a large or heavy description.
Bought this as our other similar Panasonic bust, we’d had it a few years. We did try another model first before this but the noise was incredible. So we took that back and ordered this as we’ve had about four of these over the years. Just wish they would last longer, the microwave bit tends to give up and that’s it. But they do last a while but not long enough. Cooks well and quite versatile and reasonably quiet.
Replaced a previous similar model which gave up, as cheap to replace as to repair.
Only problem is reading the touch pad buttons which are black on grey, a big design error here. Wake up Panasonic!
Love this microwave. Bakes jacket potatoes really well. We use it as an oven too, to cook frozen burgers. Great product.
Just received this week. So an early review after a fair amount of research. It’s my second inverter multi functional microwave combination oven. By Panasonic. This one is small than my previous Panasonic 40lt. It’s a good size inside and very smart looking. Very similar programs to my last one so I am familiar with it. Although I have made a point to checked some functions and the guide as its been a few years since I looked at the operating instructions.
One minor niggle I have noted for the would be purchaser –
It is very lightweight and initially moved whenever I pressed the door open so have a rubber mat under to grip it in place. I hadn’t placed it directly against a wall.
Good Oven, single grill and multi choice pre-programmed menu.
The operation of all the buttons, and what each press will do, had me a bit worried at first, my last one just had 2 knobs, which was very simple, i tried one of these digital type ones years ago, but changed it for a simpler one, as i could not make sense of all the buttons, it was too much of a headache. but luckily before i bought this one, i knew exactly how to work each button, and what each press will do, as i saw a video on you tube by Lords Electrical, a 9 minute video with the guy showing every operation of the buttons in a very simple and understandable way, watched it twice and i could make sense of everything this microwave has to offer before it arrived. I highly recommend watching this video if the digital touch pad with all those buttons start to feel like the deck of the star ship Enterprize. Just search for this make and model on you tube, and this video should show up, although he uses the silver one to describe the operation of this machine.
As some reviewers have said, their is a small judder in the turntable, nothing to worry about, as it does not affect the cooking at all, something to keep in mind though. Size wise, it is a large interior, without taking up much room on the countertop, similar makes are far more deeper in size, as others have said the power cord is fairly short 90cm or so, fitted on the right side of the machine as you look at it from the front, perfect in my case, but they could have made it a bit longer. If you are use to just a microwave on its own like my last one, then you need to know that when this one is finished cooking the motor stays on for a couple of minutes or so after you take out your food and close the door, a bit disconcerting at first, but this is normal with this microwave.
There are a myriad of makes and models of these microwaves for sale, as panasonic have a good name for breadmakers, i thought i would try this one, so far i am glad i did, it feels well made, stainless steel interior looks very clean and professional, you can clearly see whats cooking inside, a good bright light, and a gleaming white colour will look good in most kitchens, if i need to change my review of this microwave, i will update it if something goes wrong, which i am hoping, will not be any time soon. again i highly recommend watching the Lords Electircal video on you tube, i may not have bought this make and model if i did not find that video.
The first Panasonic microwave lasted me for many years so I ordered another one to replace it when finally it stopped working. So far (approx 6 months) I am very pleased.
Steam cleaning maintains hygienic clean standards and reduce additional cleaning tasks.
I have purchased these cookers before and think they are the best, so have now returned to panasonic again. So easy to use with many functions, cooks great jacket potatoes and find the recipes are useful
This is a replacement for another Panasonic combi that got past it’s sell by date. Easy to use, efficient, smart on the kitchen top, I’m very pleased with it. The oven & grill are more effective than my swish main cooker, and the combi use makes cooking so much quicker.
Well designed combination microwave. Very versatile and takes full size plates. Compact overall size means it will fit into even a small workspace. {Recommend you check out the model number on the manufacturer’s website first, download the manual and check positioning guidance before purchase.} Upgrade on previous model that was grubby from use but still in good working condition and donated elsewhere. This newer model has all the same excellent attributes as it’s predecessor. It even has options to enable young (or not so young) novice cooks to fend for themselves rather than just rely on “bing-bong” meals although it does them too.
Bought to replace a similar Panasonic that died after only 3 years, but that had replaced a Panasonic that was still going well after 20 years and stayed with a previous house, so hopefully the last one was an aberration. Does a couple of baked potatoes beautifully in about 15 mins. Plenty of programs, few of which I’ve used. Happy with my purchase.
Love this combination oven, it does everything I want it to do, easy to use and cooks everything perfectly. Great for people living on their own as it saves heating a big oven for one meal. Recommended to me by a friend who loves it too. Highly recommended
I had bought this microwave to replace a 10 Year old Panasonic that had given excellent service.
It was easy to set up and I followed the instructions to use the convection oven for 5 mins to get rid of any factory oil.
However the unit sounded like it had a loose part and had a very noisy rattle… I used it for 3 weeks with no issues unless I used the convection oven which continued to sound very very noisy.It was so bad it made me think twice about using it.
I then reported the problem to Amazon Customer Service who replied in 10 minutes.They advised they would send a replacement unit out immediately.This was amazing service and I cannot be more pleased with their response.
The replacement as arrived and the Oven Function is quiet as I would have expected.
Will this oven last as long I am not sure as i think that items these days are built to a price and not quality.
Bought this for my son. His previous one was a Panasonic and was easy to use. He lives on his own so the combi is great for everyday needs. No need to light his main oven. Easy to clean, extremely reliable brand. 10/10
This was bought as a replacement for an older model. My experience with this brand has been very good. Excellent for grilling, I hardly use my large oven as the fan oven in this is so reliable
My old Panasonic combi oven died after16 years duty. This model is virtually identical but lighter and not quite as bulky. easier to clean around! The controls are slightly easier to use but all in all it is the perfect replacement for a much loved microwave. let’s hope it lasts as long
