Noisier than my previous DeLonghi model. Also would have preferred it to be brushed stainless steel rather than polished which shows every finger mark

Does the job but the fan stays on after the machine has finished its cooking time, the controls are slightly irritating, my previous microwave (a Kenwood) had abetter choice of cooking time and i have to listen for the beeps to know it has finished cooking as the noise of the fan continues. Get a Kenwood!

Nice compact and powerful

A great looking device and early reheating results are of the top standard I’d expect from a Panasonic microwave. Docked a star because the door popped straight off the first time I opened it, clearly a miss at the factory. AO.com immediately replaced though and the new one is great. Only other thing to note is that the metallic finish seems to attract finger prints!

This is the 1st microwave that I have bought or used elsewhere, that offers the Grill & Convection options. It's early days as still trying out uses for the various types of meals. So far so good. Once used to the various options to prepare the different types of food, it seems fairly straight forward to use. It was easy to set up just follow the very clear instructions. I like the timer dial which is very easy to set instead of the usual press till you get to the time you need. The instructions are clear, with a handbook that goes through each option in a step by step process. There are also some recipes at the back also helpful. The outcome of the items I have cooked have all turned out well. Impressed with the Grill & Convection. It's great being able to cook or heat up smaller items such as sausage rolls, croissants , individual pies, instead of having to use our main oven. At last can heat up this type of food and the pastry will remain crisper & not soggy, if done in the microwave The only small thing is that the door doesn't open wider than the opening. This is fine if you are positioning on a surface that has space either side, but if you have it near a wall for instance, on the left hand side, it may be a little awkward when reaching in with both hands to get the meal out if it's on a larger plate. If it's against the right hand side or central not an issue. I'm left handed so maybe that is why this has stood out to me but it doesn't detract from my overall satisfaction of the unit & very pleased I have purchased.

Pros - programmes are easy to use compared to previous model Fan on top so model is slimline and space saving Grill is covered over by mesh so easier to clean than previous model Brown enamel tray is good to use for grilling and baking Cons - lightweight so it moves when you push the button to open the door One metal rack provided, rather than two and not as substantial as previous racks Cable is too short if you want to place the appliance on a butchers block, rather than a worktop When using the grill the plate does not rotate when 2 pasta dishes are place on metal rack, compared to previous model

A good looking asset to our kitchen. Have not yet tried all the functions. Those we have used are simple to operate and work well. Looking foreword to cooking more complex dishes. The instructions are clear and the key pad simple and well marked. One criticism, with a silver finish body coloured keys would be easier for the older person to identify. At 88 I struggle a little.

have only used it once so far, but it has all the settings that I need/use. It is much smaller than my previous one, but bigger on the inside which is wonderful.
