Summary : timer is hardly clear and easy to read
I've had other microwaves with turn dials (though that was years ago) and they were much easier to read than the dial on this microwave. The dots between 0 and 5 are supposed to correspond with each minute but they don't seem to. I have to use my digital timer to get a specific time because using this dial on this microwave is a guessing game.
I purchased this model because I only have the most basic needs (reheating tea and leftovers) and didn't need all the options listed in other models, but spend the extra money cause one you open the box you are stuck with it.

Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A mint microwave.
I recently bought this microwave as I really rate Panasonic products. This is no exception! It's probaly the best combination oven there is. The price was great as well!
If you like jacket potatoes, you'll enjoy using this, it even makes the skins crispy. And the roast potatoes are great as well!!!
It's relatively easy to use, the recipe book helps!
To sum up, a belting combo microwave oven, every home should have one!

Summary : Short life span!
I am now on my third oven in two years. They cook beautifully and look nice, but are completely unreliable. The first one lasted 9 months before the turntable stopped turning, the second went for exactly one year before the turntable couldn't be stopped except by pulling the plug... I had a two-year guarantee, so they keep replacing them, but as soon as this runs out I'll be trying a different model!

Summary : Good all-in-one but.....size matters!
The oven part works like a treat - high risen Yorkshire puddings are the proof!
The microwave is pretty standard and does exactly as you'd expect.
The double grill is a bit odd though - thought I'd halve all my cooking times as I'd not have to turn food over as it's being grilled on the top and bottom simultaneously but not the case as you still need to turn it over but it does take less time to cook on the whole. Having the bottom grill though means you need a metal turn table which you're supposed to grill on directly - result is constant washing up of the turn table and you never really get it clean as you don't want to scrub too hard as the enamel coating would probably come off. Solution - cover it in foil and cook on that to make life easier. Also the turntable has a lip of about 1.5cm which can make taking hot things out when using the normal oven quite precarious as you have to lift the baking dishes etc over it. Also I imagine the bottom grill will prove hard to clean around (only had it a week and haven't got round to that job!)
Regarding the size issue - bear in mind if going for this oven you need 19cm clear head room above the oven so you probably can't fit it under a hung kitchen wall cupboard which is a pain for most kitchens; plus it's quite deep but that means a good internal capacity.
Overall though, for the money it's great having an extra oven space that actually works like a normal fan assisted oven.

Summary : Really good value for money and extremely useful.....
When my last microwave oven died I was in a desperate hurry to replace it. I looked everywhere for a full sized microwave oven and could not find one. I found this particular oven. It is large enough to defrost or cook large item, but I really hesitated before buying it. It had too many other functions associated with it for my taste. How could something possibly be a good microwave oven, a good grill and a good convection oven? In the end I bought this product only because of its size. However, it proved itself to be completely invaluable at the first big holiday meal. It is a good grill and a good convection oven (make sure it is fully preheated BEFORE use), as well as being a large, powerful microwave. I am so glad that I purchased this particular oven, and I highly recommend it to anyone. I have had my oven for nearly 1.5 years now. I have no complaints.
