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!
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.

Brought this in the Black Friday Deals to replace a similar model that just stopped working. Very happy with Panasonic microwave convection oven & grill, Amazon had the lowest price so good value for a appliance that is used daily.
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.
Panasonic triumphs again. This model is really easy to use. Does amazing jacket potato’s in no time at all. Perfect for all types of food. Worth its weight in gold for me. Panasonic the ones to trust.
Very good item I’m well pleased with this used a few of the programs and all have worked out well
Good but not as good as my old one a Panasonic 4 genius
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.
Big fan of the Panasonic combi microwaves. This is my 3rd in about 10 years, gets lots of use and I like the fact that it is compact, nice design, and very efficient. Highly recommend.
Really excellent microwave. Stylishly thin. Powerful. Flexible. Amazing what it can do, and I am learning its various programs. Only negative is complexity. I guess you can’t have versatility without complexity. But, eg, a one-touch cook button would have been great. Don’t let that put you off. Excellent, tardis-like machine – small on the outside, big on the inside, and heartily recommended.
I have never owned a microwave oven before and I am very happy with this product as it is easy to use and works well
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 only downside I’ve found so far is that you have to be extremely careful to not have anything spit in this oven, as the ceiling is pretty much uncleanable. It has a small grating, if anything splatters through you’ll never be able to get it off again. As long as you microwave everything covered in some (pieced!) cling film or a slightly offset lid however, you should be perfectly fine!
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.

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.

Although it cost the same as it’s older version and has some new automated controls, I don’t feel the finish is as pleasing.
I have just used the automated setting for heating a pizza for the second time. I didn’t realise it went through an oven preheat first. Last time I criticised the oven for leaving my pizza’s middle cold. I had only heated the pizza in the preheat cycle and shouldn’t have put it in until after this was completed and then added it’s weight. This time the pizza came out perfect.
Microwave and combination cooking can also be set manually.
Although I have had this a few months now and use it daily I have still yet to use most of its automated functions.
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 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.
Very good Inverter combi microwave. A little more complicated than the basic type. Excellent value and great delivery time.
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.
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.
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.
Better than expected, haven’t used all options yet. Even my hubby can use it. Recommend it.
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.
It replaces its predecessor that I bought over 20 years ago. So glad that virtually the same model is still available. What I would miss most are the jacket potatoes that are so quick to cook in it. It’s easy to use and I don’t understand reviewers that found it noisy (it certainly is not) or that comment on jerky movements of the turntable (it just needs to be let to fall into the right slots).
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.

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.

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
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.

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.
I like the fact that it is a large oven and also the grill is good for browning as it alternates between microwave and grill. IT also has a good defrost menu and it is quiet compared to other ovens that I have had. I will recommend this Microwave a must have in your Kitchen.
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

If all you use your microwave for is heating your dinner up when you’re late back from a day at the office, then this unit is probably overkill. If however, you want to be able to do everything from defrosting sausages to roasting a joint of meat, to baking a carrot cake, to grilling toast – then you may have come to the right place.
One thing I will say (and this may seem obvious) is that you really should read the manual quite carefully. Depending on the mode of cooking you select – you may or may not need to supplement the glass turntable with an included elevated wire rack and/or enamel platter. If you don’t use the correct combination of accessories, you risk sub-optimal results or even breakage.
Apart from the number of cooking modes, it’s important to realise that the way the Panasonic microwave works is fundamentally different to the way other manufacturers’ microwaves work. All other microwaves are essentially like a light switch – the magnetron (the element which generates the microwaves) is either 100% on or 100% off. If you select 60% power, the magnetron will switch on 100% for 6 seconds and off for 4 seconds, and repeat this until the timer ends. Obviously when you’re trying to cook something like a sauce or scrambled eggs, this is a big problem – you really do need fine control over the power rather than just intermittently blasting it at full power.
The Panasonic inverter takes the 50Hz mains electricity and converts it into a form of electricity which can be controlled more like a light dimmer switch – rather than alternately blasting full power, you really can generate microwaves at 10%, 27%, 30%, 44%, 60% or 100% power constantly throughout the cooking cycle. This give much more control, and helps to avoid things accidentally over-cooking.
It really does work very well, and gives you a great amount of control – the only challenge you’ll find is remembering all the multifarious modes and methods you have at your disposal. This is not a problem – I think it’s just a case of gradually increasing your proficiency with it over time. There are enough pre-programmed automated cooking modes that you can simply pick a food type from the menu, select a weight, and have the oven cook it automatically.
Size wise, the turntable is a very generous 34cm in diameter, which is plenty large enough for even the largest of dinner plates. And the depth of the unit is only just a tad larger than the turntable. This means that you can shove it back against the wall, and it won’t eat up the entirety of your worktop. It looks smart, and the controls are all wipe-clean, as is the stainless interior.
Altogether a very clever machine indeed, and with the sophisticated technology built-in, well worth the money.
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
