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.

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.

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.

The colour is more on white side and not silver.
But does everything so very pleased.
Bit noisey when and after the door opened.

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.

This model has a stainless steel inside for easy cleaning. Easy to use front panel, with no knobs to go wrong.
Grill heats up quickly.

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.

The microwave comes with a short power lead so you need a power point immediately behind the unit otherwise you will need an extension lead

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.

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!

We bought this model to replace the Panasonic NN-CF778SBPQ, which we had given up the ghost after years of good service. Ideally we would have preferred to simply buy a new version of the same model, but, as that wasn’t an option, we looked for something that appeared to match the overall specification as much as possible.

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.

My old 25 yr old microwave decided it were working anymore, so I got one of these things as I have to do the kitchen up and will also be be without an oven. I now get hot microwave food, plus … I can time the grilling and cooking to stop and ping when ready. Magic – haven’t burnt anything since I got it. Strangely there’s no stale burnt taste to my convection/grilling cooking anymore, but I’m sure someone could sell me a flavouring.

Easy to use, tho had had a similar one previously. Lots of instructions and some combinations of cooking , I don’t think I would attempt. Fast and straightforward for everyday use including roast chicken but have to remember the ‘first ping’ which indicates only half way through cooking. Fam have been caught out with this and thought the cooking time was ended. Ruined a few desserts this way and could easy give food poisoning if all users are not informed of this.

As a Forty something single man living alone this wonderful appliance is completely top of the pops!

It literally does everything and does it all so well with absolute ease of use, it’s an awesome bit of kitchen kit and I can’t find any faults with it whatsoever.

I’ve only ever had Panasonic microwave ovens and in over 30 years now I’ve actually only needed 2 they are so good, this combination microwave is my third and definitely the best of them all, Convection Oven brilliant…. Grill brilliant…. Microwave brilliant…. Combination Modes brilliant…. Programs brilliant…. Build Quality brilliant…. Instructions and ease of use…. brilliant.

That’ll do it I think, fantastic and highly recommended.

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.

Firstly this is a very nice mirowave in white, and a good bit cheaper than the silver one. This is the one i am reviewing. Model NN-CT54JW stainless steel interior looks very up market compared to others, these type of microwaves are supposedly sold as a 3 in 1. Microwave, Oven, and grill. Although i think the Oven as a convection oven is maybe not the same as an electric oven in a normal cooker. This one uses the grill function together with a fan to mimic an electric oven, i think i have that right, which is OK, as long as this set up works, which in my opinion it does. I tried a large size pizza using the oven, and it tasted just as good as my normal electric oven. The glass turntable is a massive 34 cm across, a lot larger than my previous one, which was just a microwave, its handy to have the different cooking options available if you need them.

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.

Great product, bought for new home while it was being renovated and without a proper oven. Have been using it for 10 months now and it hasn’t let me down.

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.

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.

I do all of my cooking in this oven I have found the booklet very helpful 8 months on
I am struggling with my Panasonic combination microwave The heat is not distributed evenly
My baking is burning at the back of the oven before the bake is finished
I
Think the microwave is not always cooking through

This is a microwave device that can also do other types of cooking, like a little oven. It is beautifully engineered -no surprises there, from Pananasonic – and, while not simple to use, the manual teaches everything you need to become
proficient. It is on the expensive side, but well worth it! It wil pay for itself, anyhow, as over the years we shall
use it in many occasions rather than the big, much more expensive, electric oven.

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

Love love this microwave. Replaced my original Panasonic oven which I had had for 15 years. The only thing I would like to change would be clearer controls as I have to use my glasses to read them. My previous oven has black figures on white. Other than that I am happy with it.

Many years ago I had a combi/ microwave and I loved it, it broke down after a lot of use but circumstances dictated that I hadn’t got another of its standard ,my current combi wasn’t that user friendly and the baking/grilling element was of the exposed kind (not good for cleaning).
This one is more like my old appliance but so much better and easy to use.Yes there are a lot of functions and you will need the manual close to hand for a while until you get to know all it’s functions (there are many) but what I have used it for so far has cooked the food to perfection.
The auto settings for frozen pizza produced a well cooked,soft based tasty meal and in a family of shift workers you need an appliance that can cook or re-heat meals without using the large standard oven 4 times a day.
The interior is completely stainless steel with a concealed element and oven fan and it comes complete with a glass turntable ,steel oven tray and a wire rack..

The best thing about the unit is the display where the clock is displayed also gives helpful instructions to help navigate through the different functions which does make everything just that bit easier to learn how to use it.
The microwave itself cooks very well and heats evenly throughout the food and with the new inverter technologie the power is totally adjustable.
The manual itself is very comprehensive right down to an explanation as to how microwaves cook your food and includes recipes,reheating charts,cooking charts,9 auto roast programmes,8 auto cook programmes and 8 junior menu programmes. there are instructions for using the timer,multi stage cooking, combination grill and microwave , convection and microwave and how to defrost (manualy and chaos auto defrost), in fact I don’t think there is a thing this manual under decribes or misses out.
This unit will be used multiple times throughout the day and I expect it will save quite a bit on electricity bills in my house .it would also be good in student digs or bedsits and is a good overflow oven for christmas or anytime you need more oven space
