Following which advice as best buy, and looking at the very few minor negative reviews i decided to get this. It fits the same space as our previous microwave grill only and which was a good 5 cm smaller inside. This is a great convection oven in and of itself, but a combi convection microwave chicken was great! This fits into a small space that a standard microwave takes. It takes a good sized 23 cm casserole dish. Easy to use buttons that are intuitive to use. Easy to clean. Comes with pizza base tray and oven rack. Very happy so far after three weeks use.

A great combi oven, with clear instructions on how to make the most of its functionality. A definite step up from a standard microwave, and while it is a litle noisier than a standard microwave, it heats food quickly and evenly, and the grill function is brilliant.

I ordered through a well known online supplier, but they could not get my Panasonic best buy microwave (Which magazine). Local high street shops had none either, so I turned to AO. The microwave arrived within a very few days, and we are very pleased with it. It is a well made machine which ticks all the boxes. Should have come to AO.com first. An excellent service thanks.

Looks well made and easy to clean. The combination method does really nice baked potatoes, bit slower than auto cook. The instruction/cookbook is reasonably comprehensive. To me it’s failing is the range of oven temperatures at the low end only 40 or 100’ I like to heat my plates and also melt chocolate that’s 70/50.

Lovely looking microwave, looks compact for its 27 litre size . Oven needs to be used in slightly lower temperature as it found it too hot , haven’t tried grill yet

I had to replace my old microwave and found this reasonably priced microwave with top ratings from 'which magazine '. I am more than happy. I only realised how bad my old microwave was . The food heats up very quickly and evenly. The oven function is also great.

Replacing an old but splendid Panasonic combination microwave my research led me to the latest version. The new one is much lighter, which means it has to be held while opening. The controls are not as intuitive as the previous model but with use, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Best part is the speed of cooking, much faster than the old one.

Bought to replace a much smaller (19l) microwave, decided to pay the extra for a combined microwave and oven instead, especially with Christmas on the way. The microwave is well made and compact, especially when considering how vast it seems inside. It neatly takes up the same place as our previous microwave, just 5cm more depth which was fine, as well as some additional height. The instructions are detailed and provide guidance on how to do just about everything with it. I have utilised the microwave, oven, and grill function. All perform as expected, with good cooking whichever setting. What makes this microwave stand out is it’s combined cooking function. You tell it what you are cooking and it can use the microwave combined with the oven to cook up to 2/3’s faster. I have used this function a few times and can say the results are fantastic. More to the point most manufacturer claims are ‘best case scenario’, but this microwave has performed to the manufacturers claims almost exactly, finding on average a 2/3 reduction in cooking time and at worst, 1/2. In addition, its ability to cook meat such as beef and lamb to rare, medium or well done works perfectly with great results. I’m not replacing my oven with this unit, but am using it to compliment it. The smart cooking makes this an option I’m happy to make use of, so it’s not just a gimmick you will never use. In our household of 2 adults, 2 children it’s helpful for cooking kids portions while our meal is in the oven, or for cooking multiple items that all have different temperature requirements, and I have no doubt this will be massively useful come Christmas. I should note this unit does have a fan. Whilst the microwave can make more noise than our older one, the difference is minimal. It’s a typical fan noise, so quiet but noticeable. In the kitchen this is of no concern to me, everything in the kitchen makes noise to some extent, and this isn’t the noisiest appliance, so I am happy with the unit and it’s performance.
