Compact and reliable
I’ve owned this microwave for years and just bought my daughter a new one when her previous one wore out. It’s an excellent piece of equipment and after more than 5 years is still in great condition, no sign of rust or other deterioration. It’s only disadvantage is that the compartment is quite tight, so it will take a dinner plate, but nothing larger or with large protruding handles, so it may not be suitable for everyone. The counter argument is that it does not take up too much space on the work surface.
The Panasonic NN-E28JMMBPQ Compact Solo Microwave is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. Despite its compact size, this microwave packs a punch with its impressive cooking performance. From reheating leftovers to defrosting frozen foods, it handles every task with ease and precision. The intuitive controls and straightforward interface make it a breeze to use, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. Plus, the sleek design adds a touch of elegance to any countertop. If you’re in the market for a reliable and efficient microwave, look no further than the Panasonic NN-E28JMMBPQ.
I’m relatively sure this is a newer version of the microwave it replaced. For 99, what more do you want? Plug it in, ready to go. I don’t need a fancy a microwave, simple to use, adequately heats food up, nothing else is left desired from a microwave, would recommend.
It’s compact but not too small for my 10 inch dinner plate. It’s easy to use, although have to press two buttons to reheat coffee compared to one on my previous machine – no big deal. The silver looks nice although ideally I wanted stainless steel. All in all I’m very happy with this machine. The worst part was trying to work out if it was big enough due to faulty measurement given for turntable on diagram and also due to manufacturers providing one instruction manual to fit different models with different dimensions. Delivery by Royal Mail was inconvenient due only to the lack of a clear timescale for delivery nearer the time of delivery, nothing to do with the actual postie. I paid 75 for it and now a couple of weeks later its up to 99
Perfect for small kitchen.
The Panasonic NN-E28JBMBPQ Compact Microwave is a space-saving kitchen appliance. It offers quick and efficient heating with various power levels. The compact size is suitable for smaller kitchens, but the interior capacity might limit larger dishes. It’s easy to use and clean. Overall, a reliable choice for basic microwave functions in smaller spaces.
Quality Produc
Panasonic make great kitchen products. This is a well built small microwave, with easy digital operations. You can see what’s going on inside and it’s easy to clean. Yes, it holds a full size plate. A smart looking machine.
Delightful Panasonic Microwave
I bought this microwave as a replacement for my combination which had served me well.
What a joy – so easy to use. The simplicity is brilliant and the cook and reheat give perfect results.
One of my most successful purchases.
Wish I'd bought it soone
This microwave is fantastic. Perfect for 1-2 people. Heats up food quickly and evenly. My only gripe is that it’s quite small so it’s difficult to grab plates out of there with pot holders on either side. There’s just not very much room. In any case, I still love it.
Neat little ove
We had this microwave before and it’s done some work. It was getting a little rusty here and there, so we bought the same one again as it is perfect for 2 people.
great microwave
No issues, great microwave. Only thing I miss is the last one I had gave you an automatic 30 seconds when you pressed the start button, this one doesn’t you always have to select a time first. It’s a good microwave, I’ve been using it for 6 months.
A man’s view of a hot air frye
Initially very easy to use, also non stick surfaces equal ease of cleaning after use. Having previously had a two litre unit,I found it very restrictive as regards what you can air fry in it at a time. So I purchased this unit and find it far more useful re-volume and potential variety of food that can be cooked at time. The only modification that I have made is to shorten the recommended temperatures and times that have been advised by the producers of the food being air fried. This a little hit and miss but the slight effort is worthwhile for excellent results. I regard this purchase as ideal and perfect for my requirements.
Strange but true. We had a sharp MW before and chose this one because the dimensions were identical. When the new one came, apart from a few minor differences in the program options – it is identical, even the turn table and wheeled plate bearer are interchangeable which is great, and we didn’t have to get used to it. The one it replaced went rusty, I hope this one doesn’t! I find it easy to use, its instinctive. My wife preferred the quick 1 minute button on the old one whereas this one has a quick 30 seconds instead, so I’ve taught her to press it twice where upon the displayed cooking time changes from 30 seconds to 1 minute – so all is well. It also has a 1 minute button as well as the quick 30 but she finds that a little complex, don’t get me started on the various uses of the 10 second button.it appears well built but so did the last one and that rusted through, I’m hoping Panasonic are better at painting than Sharp, but time will tell!
Digital display push button microwave
This was bought as a replacement for my aunt’s previous microwave oven.
She has taken a bit of time to adjust from setting and turning knobs to provide the time and power.
She is getting used to the operation of the oven, but it is not intuitive for her.
The instruction booklet could have done with more diagrammatic indications and instructions for her.
This is a well made microwave oven from a recognised manufacturer.
It is easy to use if you are used to digital products.
I got a black this time as I have had silver the last couple of microwaves, and I’m very happy with the colour. The black just blends into the background of the kitchen and looks sleek. The buttons are very clear and the microwave power is quick. All the family use it including 2 teenagers and there have been no issues. the door is easy to close and open and I’m happy with the make I would recommend for reheating dishes, cooking and steaming. Really good replacement for are old one.
Microwave.
It was a direct replacement for one purchased 4 years ago.
Easy to work
I got this for my elderly mother,it’s simple and easy to use she loves it!
Excellent Value
I bought two of these, by mistake, and gave one as a gift, rather than return it. Excellent appliance – has been working very well, and looks great in my black and white kitchen. Also appreciated by the recipients of the duplicate.
Had one like it long before I got a new one
I like this model because I’ve had it before. I was glad it was still in service so didn’t need to look around. I just orded a nother one
F
Smaller Microwave
Already owned a large Panasonic microwave for a number of years, following a kitchen refit we wanted a smaller microwave so liked the look of the black Panasonic. Fits really well in our new kitchen and we know that Panasonic is an extreme reliable make, so should last for a good number of years. Very impressed so far with its simple and easy to use functions.
Good buy
Difficult to see settings on control panel , not bright enough
Just grea
Just what I wanted fits perfectly under the boiler in the kitchen and works really well recommend
Easy to use
Easy to use. One drawback is that when cooking is finished, if I leave the door open to let the steam evaporate, the light stays on, which uses energy. However, I now wipe it out immediately and close the door.
Super reliable
I bought this for my daughter two years ago. After almost daily use she’s given it back to me now she’s moved to a canal boat with no running electricity (unless she starts its diesel engine!).
It’s now replaced my own trusty microwave because this one is just so much easier to use, despite being slightly older. (My old one was very basic, with little in the form of programming.)
Only wanted something small and efficient. And that’s what we have.
Only problem my wife has is the plate that fits in to the microwave seems to be a bit loose too much play
This is the second microwave of this type – design and features we have bought. It suits our purposes well. It’s quite compact for a smaller kitchen, easy to use and relatively easy to clean. We are only two people so not sure how it would cope with larger dishes or quantities
IT is a perfect size for me and my kitchen. Just does not quite heat up as a more powerful model, but it’s probably economical. I would recommend and buy again.
No bells, no whistles…a pretty good microwave that meets my needs.
Attracts fingerprints a bit but easy to wipe as it has no protruding buttons.
The 30 sec increment option is handy.
Overall v happy.
Plugged in and it works fine.
From my experience with other microwaves though, it would be nice to have a short back up for the clock, so the thing does not have to be readjusted after a power interruption.
The light should ideally be switchable either via the main on off switch or only switched on when the door is closed.
The last couple of microwaves I had rusted under the plate and I try to leave the doors open now in order to allow the air to circulate inside. With the door open the microwave light is on, this is unnecessary as few people look deep inside the microwave when the door is open unless for cleaning. If I unplug, the clock needs resetting though!
I’m happy though and would buy another, although the price was well beyond what I used to pay for one of these, it is still one of the items I can buy cheaper on Amazon rather than trek to the shops, very much cheaper in this case.
i brought another one of these microwaves as my last one lasted from june 2017 to xmas day 2022, which to me is very good for a microwave in continuous every day use, even though this one is slightly smaller than my previous panasonic one which in 2017 cost me 55, i guess most of the price rise is due to the war in ukraine & the fact everything has gone up at least 50% since summer 2017, 4 pints of milk was 1.10 in 2017 but now its 1.85 & rising every week or every time you go to the supermarket to buy it. but as a product its excellent, easy to use, the only gripe i would have with it is that when you press start & the timer starts counting down is that you cant no longer see what setting you are on & sometimes i have been on high when i should of been on de-frost & vise versa.
Panasonic microwave
Best microwave yet. My mom had one and lasted nearly 10 years. Not like Russall Hobs microwave. They only last 2 years. If that. Heats up so much quicker, panasonic microwave. Love it highly recommended
Microwave Panasonic NN-e28jmmbpq
Great microwave easy to use clear instructions as a visually impaired person I need something plan and simple to get round.
Great Microwave
Always buy Panasonic microwaves. Not sure whether tis one has the feature because I bought it as a present, but a most useful facility on Panasonic is the ability to use a timer to come on at a later time.
Panasonic Microwave
Easy to use. Does the job. But doesn’t default to high automatically. – have selec
Good value for money
Happy with it so far, smaller than my last one but haven’t had a problem with it everything seems to fit inside OK. Looks nice like the black finish and is easy to use no number key pad you select time in increments 10 secs, 30 secs, 1min & 10 mins & then specific programmes for things but haven’t used them so don’t know how effective they are.
I bought this to replace my old one, like for like.as they are such good microwaves! The old one was nearly 13 years old, so they are very good quality! There have been a few updates, but still easy to operate! Love it!
Perfec
This micro wave is a perfect addition to any kitchen , nice looking too
Excellent microwave
Third time I have bought this model. Great value and well made
Good microwave one of the bes
One of the best I had ain’t had to many
Nice and easy to use
Been using Panasonic for a few years now but did try another make only to be unimpressed so went back to this microwave easy to use no fiddling with knobs and easy to clean. Not too big there is only the two of us so fits exactly how it should enough space to cook (using far more due to the utility price hike) .
This is my second Panasonic microwave, I had the first one for a long time. It still worked fine, but the protective linning inside started to deteriorate. I thought best to replace i
Nice and small
It dos not take up much room on work top
Compact, efficient, does the job
My third one, I like it that much. Great all rounder . Kitchen must have
Very easy to use
Smart microwave easy to use clean and good value for money
Very simple to use p
I use this for cooking most things and for defrosting frozen food very satisfied with this produc
Looks smart, is easy to use, with pre-set time increments of 10 secs, 30secs, 1 min. 10mins.
Small, compact design is ideal for our cottage kitchen.
Easy to clean too.
So far nice
So far my new microwave is doing and everything been good. Not tried long meals as yet so will be giving another feedback
Superb!
Great microwave. Bought to replace our old one which was also a Panasonic and it lasted a good ten years. This is a very powerful machine and we are very happy with it. Would recommend.
Small microwave but good power and range of options.
Panasonic reliability.
Easy to USE
Love the features has a timer so can set up to cook when busy love the quick 30 sec feature ideal for reheating leftovers
Smart looking and easy to use Microwave
Amazon’s delivery and returns operations are excellent. I did get a little confused over the dimensions of the microwave, which is why I returned the first delivery, but received the replacement next day, still confused over the price difference, (Sillyboy)
Anyway the Panosonic microwave is compact and stylish, all the controll function are easy to understand and work well, overall a very nice piece of equipment at a very competative price. Would highly recommend

My new toy
I am a disabled lady and my auntie bought this microwave for my birthday, it’s a solid machine, it’s easy to use and delivery was really quick, I love i
Easy to use, powerful, compac
Was worried it might be hard to use but it’s not. You get as much control as you want down to 10 seconds, but you can interrupt at any time by pressing the bottom left button. You don’t need to set the level if you want full power.
I don’t think it has auto-cut out on the light, which would be a good feature if you are forgetful. Then again people might want it to stay on for cleaning.

VALUE FOR MONEY
Bought this particular model as had Panasonics previously
Easy to use but the only problem we’ve had is setting up the clock
Still can’t set it after numerous attempts
For what we use if for it doesn’t really matter but if you do then good luck!
Great small microwave
Delivery was next day and price was cheaper than in the high street shops.
Very happy with purchase.
Microwave is small and has a good selection of settings and is easy to use.
Perfect for two
Bought this as a present. We already have one that replaced a long serving Sharp. This one is compact and better for us now the birds have flown. Most satisfactory in the two years since purchase.
Very happy with the quality
Easy to use and very fast , very easy to set up and clea
Great Produc
Great Product Does what it`s made for very well.
Good value
Was bought as a gift for my granddaughter for her 1st home and she loves it.
So far so good
So far it works as it should. Expensive for what it is but I bought it at a deal price, normal size plates fit no problem. Easy to use and no condensation, unlike my previous Sharp microwave which produced so much condensation that rust appeared after only a couple of years use.
Good value for money
This microwave was recommended by good guide to housekeeping. It met up to expectations .
A good buy
A great microwave at a great price. Easy to operate and clean. Very pleased.
A device by trustworthy manufacture
A cheap device that can be trusted and serves it purpose.
Good value microwave for heating ready meals.
Quick 30 feature is good for heating pancakes etc which require short heating times, otherwise seems over complex controls. Works well used for heating ready meals, easy to clean good value.

Easy to use.
After my microwave packed up after 35 years needed a new one quickly prompt delivery and ticks all the boxes.Just check measurements slightly smaller than my old one but still fine.
Check the condition before he leaves
The first delivery of the Panasonic microwave was not quality checked in a good way & was sent back, but the new microwave was perfect.
DFOES THE JOB
Works fine; it’s just smaller than I expected and a lot smaller than our old one. I’d have gone for a larger size had I realised but that’s probably my fault.
Great microwave, poor delivery by Amazon.
Microwave is great, had an old version of this that lasted over 20 years until a faulty washer
machine broke it.
Simple features, buttons not a dial or knob to turn.
My complaint is the Amazon driver who left it on my doorstep in the rain. I paid for delivery, not dumping on my doorstep when I’m not it.

Excellent, good price, just what you would expect from Panasonic
Just the right size for small kitchen. It looks lovely in my kitchen. Fitted just righ
Easy to use
This microwave does everything I could ever need it to. It looks very pleasing on my worktop and overall i am happy with functionality. The reason that I have given 4 stars is because the door constantly needs cleaning. Finger marks are left with each use which is really irritating.
Easy to use.
It’s a nice smart ,compact microwave
It’s very easy to use.
Good quality
Already had this model at home. Bought for a rental property as it is good quality.
Simple to operate and sleek
I’m very pleased with this microwave. Sleek design, compact and easy to use. It is an ideal replacement for my old and well used microwave. It took me a while to decide on the one to buy. I wanted one to fit a corner space, I didn’t need a huge capacity and definitely didn’t want any knobs sticking out. The instructions are good. I rate this machine very highly. I just hope it lasts me a good time.

This Panasonic NN-E28jBMBPQ Compact Solo Microwave Oven 20 litres Black, purchased on the 16th of November 2020………. this Microwave arrived as promised on time in great condition, it was purchased as a replacement for an older larger model Panasonic Microwave that had given years of service…….. mostly used for defrosting & re-heating items of low volume……….. however after 6 months of very little use… this Microwave “CAUGHT FIRE”….. luckily I was in attendance & was able to respond by turning the Microwave off at the mains…….. If I had not been able to do this I fear that the whole room this Microwave was housed in would have been engulfed in flames.

I’ve had a large Panasonic microwave for about 15 years, but the time had come to replace it, so I checked out the Panasonic range and found this little beauty. I didn’t need a large one anymore so opted for this one. To be honest I wasn’t expecting it to be brilliant for the price, but it truly is. I’m really happy I chose this one and would certainly recommend it to anyone else looking for a small microwave. It takes a full size dinner plate perfectly and everything I use a microwave for can easily be done in this little one.
This microwave is much smaller than the last standalone unit I owned, but big enough to take a 10.5″ plate without tilting, with more room inside once past the door frame. Other reviewers commented about the smart looks and I wondered how anyone could get excited by a microwave. But I have to say, they’re not wrong. It’s small size and lack of knobs and handles makes it look strangely pleasing – plus it’s so easy to clean. The cooking is much more even than our previous unit, and it cooks faster too, even though our previous unit was 900W. My only tiny gripe is that you can’t just hit ’30 sec’ and expect it to start – you then have to hit ‘go’.

Quick and easy feature useful for defrosting from freezer. Programmable Jacket Potato’s by weight perfect. A bit small for Pizzas and need special sized dishes to fit items on turntable. Not great for more than 2 member families in my opinion.

Very happy with this small, neat microwave.
Perfect for what we need – making porridge, re-heating food, defrosting bread and takes up much less space than our previous model.
No complaints!

This is my third version of this model in 16 odd years. I like the digital controls. You can choose an exact timing rather than a guess with the dial control.. It does baked potatoes, defrosting,reheating efficiently which is what I need. Its also quite compact and does not take up a large space. This time I bought the black model which I’m pleased with. It looks nice and sparkling rather than another off white bit of equipment. Only con is to watch for condensation after cooking if food is not covered.

Happy with this.
It works, the beeping after the door is opened is not an issue , but its not what I would call easy to clean, so don’t let it get dirty.
Great product.
Fab: reduced price due to cosmetic damage…which I could not spot! Item itself works well. I did have to put stickers on the 1 minute and start images because it is easier to be sure you are pressing the right button without having to look closely to work it out. Otherwise it is working well.

Needed a replacement microwave and didn’t want anything too big.
This is perfect. Has all the functions that I use, defrost, heat, medium heat etc.
It’s just what we needed and easy to use.
Am very happy with this microwave and it arrived within the delivery time given.
The picture has the reflection of my washing machine on the microwave door, but don’t worry, it doesn’t come with a washing machine inside

Good features
Good features and works well, compact size but fits a standard dinner plate
Sturdy and stylish recommend!
Typical Panasonic quality, good value and it has a clock which was missing on my previous Sharp product. Bought the black one to match my new cooker. Looks good.
Great little oven which is easy to use, especially as I panic at rows of dials, knobs and multi-function displays. This is simply an 800 watt microwave oven with defrost and reheat programmes and straightforward easy cooking programmes for things like automatically cooked baked potatoes. (It was well done and delicious, thank you for asking.) After my last oven decided to retire, I went for this Panasonic as I know they have a good reputation and so far, I have found it to be so. My modest requirements for a microwave oven are well fulfilled.
We have had this for awhile now. It is not very big inside and we have trouble putting a rice steamer in or out. When taking the rice steamer out I burn myself. But looking around I haven’t found a bigger microwave oven. They use to be bigger and heavier. That is an upside when I have to clean the kitchen the micro is easy to move and clean underneath.
Nice having the preset functions like cook a potato.
I am very happy with this product. It is used most days for making porridge. Other ways it is used is for defrosting, reheating and when we have ready meals. when doing ready meals I like that you can set the standing time with the timer. I did have a Panasonic before and was happy with it. The dimensions of this suits me too, as the top it is on is not the normal counter top size.
This replaces my previous Panasonic microwave. This is a smaller model which takes up less space on the kitchen worktop but still accommodates a full size dinner plate. It has a useful quick zap button which provides power in multiples of 30 seconds. I’m not so keen on the auto reheat buttons which offer Curry, Pasta and Chinese, none of which I reheat. I’ve had to experiment to find what works best for my home made plated meals. But I’m loyal to Panasonic and overall, I’m pleased with my purchase.
Best microwave I have purchased. Controls logical and easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.
Would highly recommend
