"Excellent delivery tracking and on the first evening tried the genius setting and the meal came out fantastic. I've now got to learn how to cook with the other functions but overall an excellent product that's well made and looks good. The dropdown door function which was not on my old combi cooker is a really useful area for turning the food over. I'm now looking forward to having many years of fun with it. Only minor gripe the icons on the door don't light up but I'll get used to which ones they are."

"Overall, a great replacement for the one replaced, performs as expected with a much better display, shame this didn’t come with the steam function, but only minor point.
For anyone considering this, really do think about it, it’s a lot of money, but since buying our previous one we have not used the main oven once (four years) essential kitchen item for us now and could not do without. It has a good power on the microwave and it really does have intelligent cool functions. It actually cooks frozen pizzas perfectly unlike the traditional oven and the speed of heating is fantastic.
Great choice, especially with the possibility of using all three functions together.
To clarify the description, it does have three levels to put trays on so although it is dual level there are three support positions.
Personally, I would recommend to friends and encourage to consider, the price tag is quite a lot, but for its size, speed, convenience and options, these machines really do pay for themselves."

"It is a quality feel product the main negative points i have is the the internal lighting does not light the contents as well as i would have hoped. The control panel could be fully illuminated to enable the choice of programs to be clearer.
Clear to follow instruction manual"

"I've deliberately waited a couple of months to write this review as I needed to get a good grasp on its performance. As an owner of premium Panasonic combi-microwaves I have over 27 years experience of them since buying my first back in 1993.
The look is up to the usual Panasonic standards. The front panel is a little difficult to read and needs good lighting. The biggest problem is the grill is considerably underpowered compared to my previous Panasonic combo bought in 2014. You get a feel for how long it takes to reach the selected temperature and this one is taking much longer. That's only a minor issue for oven use but a bigger problem for the grill. For example, my previous Panasonic could cook sausages on a medium grill for 20 mins. This one takes 20 mins on the high setting. That's how underpowered it is. Maybe it's the redesign of the grill to make it easier to clean but its power is reduced quite a bit. Overall, I'm pleased with it but people should be aware it's not as powerful as previous Paansonic combi-microwaves."

"Bought to replace a very similar Panasonic. Used as a regular fan oven, a combination oven, and a microwave, works well in all modes, easy to operate, easy to clean, heats up and cools down quickly, what’s not to like.
Great for everyday cooking, I prefer the flat rectangular bed to turntable microwaves, and my only niggle is the control panel symbols could be a little brighter."
