Manufacturer's Description
Panasonic Slimline Combination Ovens offer 20% more space on the work surface without a reduction in oven capacity. It is designed with a fan in the roof of the oven above the grill, to allow hot air to circulate around the cavity, creating convection heat from the top down. This new heat system in our Slimline range increases the versatiltiy of the machine, from a microwave oven with grill to a basic combination oven.

Slimline ovens offer a convection oven temperature range from 100 - 220 degrees celsius, ideal for jacket potatoes, casseroles and roasting meat.

Inverter technology replaces the traditional bulky transformer and capacitor components with a conventional Inverter circuit board which provides many user friendly benefits, such as constant power, even cooking and lighter ovens (on average 3Kg lighter).

Most microwaves operate on constant power, when high or full is selected. Other power levels are acheived by the microwave pulsing on and off. Panasonic Inverter Technology gives constant power on medium and low power settings--providing the perfect cooking process for your food. Inverter also ensures when reheating or cooking that your food is heated evenly, improving texture and flavour

A 1.3KW Quartz Grill element in this oven heats up instantly to brown and cook all traditionally grilled foods--ideal for today's busy lifestyle. Autoweight programs are designed to cook the most poular foods to perfection, once the weight has been entered.

Customer Reviews

Good quality & cooks very well!
As a previous reviewer has mentioned, the oven cooks some things brilliantly, much better Roast Chicken than in my main oven! The CHAOS defrost function is superb, I find food like frozen chicken breasts are defrosted without starting to actually cook them. I haven't used the grill yet so cannot comment.

The build quality is very good throughout. I particularly like the fact that the oven is a good compact size so it doesn't take up too large a footprint on my worktop. The manual is very good and pretty much tells you everything you need to know.
I would knock half a star off as you can only use the preset microwave power ratings, they can't be adjusted, so a lot of the time it is High (1000w) or Medium (600w) and no ratings option in between, 800w would be nice as most ready meals have cooking times for 800w.

newer version
I think this is the newer version of my oven, I have had mine 7 years and counting. Its the best thing since sliced bread! I use mine all the time My sponge cakes come out perfect every time, I use the grill accessory and oven rack and cook both sponge layers at once. It makes wonderful casseroles also cooks joints and well almost everything I need to cook! I have 4 children so have a large family and it manages perfectly well. I wouldn't be without mine and when it eventually dies will get another Panasonic.
I have another cheaper brand of basic microwave as I found that I was waiting for the oven to finish and piling up food that just needed the microwave, but the other one is nothing compared to this one, it would have been nice to get another Panasonic but don't think my husband would have approved of me spending over £100 on a second microwave (he could just about cope with the £30 I spent) to him a microwave is just a microwave but us mums know better don't we?
The only problem I had with mine was the door cracked after I had it a year but had an extended warranty and it was fixed free of charge with no fuss and the 'new' door is still going strong!
I would recommend this brand to anyone. If you need a new microwave invest in a Panasonic! Its also good as a second oven especially at busy times like Christmas or like me you need to cook for an army every day!

BUY ONE YOU WONT BE SORRY!

Probably the best value microwave combination oven out there
I've had this microwave oven for about 4 months now and it does everything I'd need it to do - microwave, grill and oven, and I definitely haven't see any cheaper ones that are as good. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
