Never owned flat bed Micro before and am pleasantly surprised. Very even cooking on all settings - microwave, grill and convection. Grill and convection heat up quickly. Impressed with grilling function. Like the shelving. Just roasted chicken for first time and it is delicicious. Only thing this old traveller misses is a 24 hour clock setting.
Oh yes...and the Microwave is very good looking.

I've been using the nifty little unit every day for a year now.

Microwaves well - warms up, reheats defrosts.
Oven function is great for baking all veggies (esp potatoes), toasted nuts, haloumi cheese, garlic bread and I even use to for warming plates!

As others have said, the beep noise is a little hard to hear and the inside lighting could be better. I would recommend it.

Bought this in 2016 and have been using it everyday. Mainly microwave and convection.

Pro: it does convection, grill, microwave and hasn't caused any issues (yet)

Con: It does take a while to pre-heat the convection and a bit longer to cook. Would suggest that convection is used for the small things like pies, rolls...etc

The fan noise to cool the microwave can be annoying, so if you have an open kitchen/living area

Tips: get a microwave dish cover, helps reduce splatter and cleaning the grill gaps is annoying. It could also help avoid rusting issues by keeping the steam in when microwaving

Otherwise, I'm happy so far with this item

Good size, generally easy to clean (the grill convection part is s bit tricky). The preset functions are good, but you do need to keep an eye on them. Seems odd thst you can only change time bu 10 sec increments, but you het used to it.
Microwave seems a little underpowered. What was done in 3 mins on old one can take 4 on this.
Probably better options out there. We got this on sale (dramatically reduced) last august st Harvey Norman, would not pay full retail for this. If you can get it for sub 300, then its a good buy, otherwise, there are better units out there.

This microwave provides very inconsistent and slow heat and cooking. It appears that the non rotating plate design does not work very well. Having tested multiple cups of same temperature water it clearly can't heat the same item in a consistent amount of time. It also takes longer to heat the same items than it did for our previous similar watt microwave. The dial time selector isn't very functional either.

Nothing to complain about it. Bought this to replace a 12 year old similar Panasonic convection microwave with a turntable. Having the flatbed with no turntable means even full sized baking dishes will fit in it, so you don't need to heat up a large underbench oven to do a roast or a slice. Takes a bit longer than a turntable, but easy to get used to. Great value.

I had this microwave for three years now and it has been working perfectly fine. No complaints so far. Easy to use and easy to clean. Not too noisy and done the job. I would recommend this microwave to everyone and I would give this microwave four out of five stars.

Whilst cooking a single packet of frozen vegetables, the instructions stated two and a half minutes on high. The veggies were still frozen. They actually require over three and a half minutes. Everything needed longer times to cook.
The convection oven also needed longer time and or higher temperature. My previous Panasonic much larger microwave/convection oven was soo much better.

This unit replaces the similar model we bought 4 years ago. Have always had decent cooking results, although we did not use the convection or grilling function much. Microwave power seems fine. I find new microwaves are at best a 5 year disposable item. I did get such a good deal I took out extended warranty and it paid for itself on the older unit in spades. The cooling down function is a bit noisy, but supposedly it helps keep the unit happy.

We wanted a convection oven. This one is excellent. We have used it multiple times as an oven, grill and microwave and find it does all these well. It would be nice if there were more recipes that use the combination functions as these are ones we don't know intuitively how to do.

After having a Panasonic Microwave / Oven for over 10 years we thought we couldn't go wrong when it came time to replace it, we were so wrong a real waste of money, it takes my 90 seconds oats up to 3 minutes to cook and then somethings they are not done, now the door is really hard to close not happy with this product at all.

Have had this appliance for more than 3 years now. There was a problem with it after 6 months of buying it and it was fixed hassle free. No troubles since.

It doesn't rotate which is good, because the belt that rotates the dish breaks easily in microwaves. However, I think because of the physics pf microwave ovens, it is impossible to have perfectly even heating. It's still decently even however.

Still a good product I think. A bit pricy but it's the space saving which is worth it.

I purchased this microwave coz I needed to upgrade from an old model. My regular oven doesn't perform well & I thought for just 2 of us a small convection microwave oven might tick some boxes. It does small roasts perfectly and is easy to use. The microwave also works well and I do appreciate that the inverter defrosts better than one that is not. I was nearly put off buying this product due to some negative reviews but honestly my experience is only positive. Bought it from Winnings Alexandria and am very happy with both them and the product.

Replacing a very old (17yrs) convection microwave that blew up. the flat bed provides a larger cooking space and is fairly even, but not as good as a turntable. Initially had some problem with the the microwave, but it rectified after 3rd use and now cooks in expected time. Miss the sensor cooking for fresh/frozen veges. Who can be bother weighing frozen peas. This is a waste of time function. the combo cooking is not as good due to the exposed element which also makes cleaning more difficult.

Paid about the same price for the 2000 version with far better features and function. Would have purchased a better model if not right on top of Xmas

I have had this microwave 12 months and from day one it has driven me mad. It is just so slow on the microwave function and also I am not happy with the grill as it does not seem to have enough heat and takes ages to grill something. What can one do I would not want it replaced with the same and I have a 5 year extended warranty I feel I have bought a lemon
