Unfortunately I haven't yet used or tested the grill. The oven is a good deal smaller than my previous Panasonic combi machine however, so far, I have been able to do most of the dishes tried previously, and am learning (trial and error) the best settings for these. I particularly like the range of heat settings which span from a high of 800 watts down to as low as 200 - meaning plenty of opportunities to experiment and produce dishes at a variety of temperatures. The ring tone/signal for end of cooking time is a good loud one for those who might need that sort of volume.
