To the best of my knowledge this is the largest Microwave/Convection oven available that can be used counter-top or built in. We purchased one for our old house 20 years ago and it just died after much use. We were glad they still make the same product size wise but with many updates.

I have to admit that I was not in love with the idea of a Panasonic product, having had the misfortune to purchase a TV and DVD that both went belly up within a relatively short priod of time – just out of warranty. Anyway, I was replacing my Sharp Carousel Convection as the mica plate had blown twice and it was not economical to keep replacing it. So with much reluctance, I took a punt on the Panasonic. Frankly, it is fantastic. It is whisper quiet, cooks extremely well – recipe prompting actually works and the Grill is sensational. Would I buy it again? You bet. I am now completely converted and trying new recipes with confidence.

I bought this oven one week ago to replace a Sharp model R-930CS convection microwave, which I had been using for almost 2 years. The black display on the Sharp was hard to read and the microwave didn’t work as well as the $79 one I use at work. It was really a leap of faith to buy another convection microwave expecting different results but I found an outstanding deal on Ebay so I took the plunge.
So far this oven has met all of my expectations. It heats my frozen entrees completely and it does a great job popping popcorn. It even has 3 different levels for popping different sized bags. The sensor reheat works well too.
I’ve even had a couple of happy surprises. First of all I noticed this oven is really nice looking. Not only are the buttons easier to read than the touchpad I used before but they have a stylish high quality appearance. I also like the ceramic turntable more than the metal one I had before. It may not contain large spills as well but I’m guessing it’ll be easier to clean.
The biggest surprise for me has been how intuitive/user-friendly the controls have been. After selecting the function I want to use (e.g. microwave, convection, sensor cook, etc.), the next appropriate button or knob lights up so there’s no need to read the text message to know which step to take next. I’ve barely had to refer to the instruction manual at all.
I haven’t had a chance to use the convection oven yet so I’ll have to come back and update my review when I do. I guess I’m just not as wary about the convection functions because all of the problems I had with my previous oven were related to the microwave functions. Of course reliability will take much longer to determine too. But so far so good!
Update after 3 months – This is definately the right oven for me. I’ve pretty much used all of its features now and I can’t think of any negatives. The convection oven works great and the ceramic tray is a breeze to wash. I haven’t regretted my decision for a moment.
