I'd had my first and only previous microwave (Panasonic Genius) for over 16 years and never a moment's trouble. How many household appliances can you say that about (although my dear old Bosch dishwasher comes close). Anyway, it was brilliant! But then came the perhaps inevitable day when, with a minor explosion and alarming flash, my marvellous microwave died! I was only re-heating some soup, for goodness sake, but it obviously decided enough was enough, GloomI As if Brexit wasn't making things depressing enough. I searched for Microwave Repairman but there was no-one local and it seemed that a new microwave might make more sense than an expensive repair, So the search was on for the best replacement: "Which" reports, website reviews, the lot: if it was written, I read it. I hope I've found it. This has the Auto Sensor I wanted because I've used that so much on my old microwave. And in addition, for what I think is worth the extra cost, especially if it lasts as long as the old one, this offers all that a conventional oven and grill have to offer. What's not to like, in current speak! I have to learn new things about how to use it, and I'm not a spring chicken, but so far so good. Someone at Panasonic has gone to a lot of trouble to produce a clear and comprehensive instruction booklet, for which she or he deserves an award at the next HAIA (Household Appliance Instructions Awards) ceremony. 124 pages including photos and diagrams but also actual WORDS in actual SENTENCES which actually explain in accurate English what to do, what not to do and why. Not just a sheet of tiny pictures and symbols (Grisly Graphics) which leave you bewildered and close to tears. Reheating charts, Cooking charts and then a Recipe section.The display panel on the microwave even tells you in writing what to do next. I've also had rapid replies to a couple of my queries on the Panasonic website's Contact Us. So...I've only had this new microwave for a week, so I mustn't get carried away, but I'm feeling optimistic.

Very good price for a quality product. Efficient delivery. Searched online for the Panasonic Combo Microwave an ao offered the best deal.

This is a brilliant microwave, easy to use and cooks really well, the auto programmes are brilliant. Also have the steam panasonic model, so never use my big oven, a huge saving on electricity.

When it comes to large combi microwaves, I’ve done the research, it’s either Sharp or this Panasonic. I’ve had a 3 Sharp’s over the last 20 years, they are larger than the Panasonic, but they haven’t changed the design much in that 20 years. The Sharp has a larger capacity, mainly in height, but the useable area is very similar. In my opinion, The Panasonic is a far superior device, dual cooks faster and is better in every respect. It takes a while to master all the features but it’s well worth it. the intelligent cooking works really well and If you need a large combination microwave, you will not do better than this. When I purchased this, the price was better at AO, rather than Amazon.

The product does exactly as it said in the description, I am very pleased with my choice and I can't recommend AO enough for their quality service and support.

Good sized oven, controls quite easy to use, lots of features, easy to keep clean.

Great combo oven and fabulous value for money. Recommend it highly

I bought this to replace an existing Microwave and table top oven. This offers versatility in the combination of programs and sensor functions as well as standard microwave, grill and convection oven. The instruction manual is very comprehensive and makes using the microwave very easy. I mainly use the combination functions as these reduce the overall cooking time while tasting the same as if cooked in a conventional oven. A chicken which would have taken 1hr 25mins to roast in an oven took only 45 minutes on a combination program. The oven is easy to clean and the supplied accessories are very robust, the metal plate used on combination and grill functions has a very good non stick surface.
