Quality product but underpowered grill.
4/5
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.
