There were waves of disappointment when our sixteen year old Panasonic microwave finally beached itself ! However AO soon had one delivered and at a very low price compared to the competition. The bad news is that I fixed the old one! Still, we like the features on the new one so it's a keeper.

Looks good and has all the programs easy to use and a good price.

Delighted to have this new combi microwave, we haven't had one for many years. It's very versatile, has lots of inside space, and more powerful at 1000w than any previous model we've owned. Looking forward to exploring its potential!

We had a Samsung MC28M6055 before, but I broke it; according to Which? this NN-CT56JBBPQ Panasonic was a 'Best Buy' & rated higher than Samsung. We found the Samsung easy to operate and understand; very quiet to use. A'Hot Blast program' that was most useful, A mid shelf wire rack, and control keys that operated the choices of programs at one touch. This Microwave has no middle tray, we are not finding the instructions all that easy; control keys often need many 'touches' and presses to make them operate, ans,all in all, it does not seem as solid a build as the Samsung. We wonder why these 1000 watt Micro waves don't give a 900 W, and or, an 800 W choice, as these are the power choices that frozen food products.. give cooking times on, so we are left to 'guess' how long to microwave packaged foods. Otherwise, it does at least 'work', and just might be a long lasting machine.

We bought this microwave because of its excellent review by Whch? even though we weren’t looking for all the grilling and cooking ‘bells and whistles’ which are available on the model. We haven’t used them all yet but we’re already impressed by the simplicity of the controls as well as the capacity and quietness of the oven. The only little negative is that I wish they’d made the same model in white!

It is an excellent product. It is easy to use, very intuitive, the instructions are clear and it also includes a strip on the edge of the microwave with the different programmes outlined. It is very quiet and the door is clear, so you can get a clear view of what you are cooking. We did jacket potatoes, the 2 potatoes weighed 1,200kg so we entered the weight and it cooked them in 24 mins, fluffy inside and crispy on the outside. It defrosts efficiently and reheats well too. We have also made toast on it. It is quite big but you need that so you can fit larger portions of food or more than one bowl etc. Great buy.

First class product. Exactly as advertised. Very smart item.

Nice simple combi microwave but with sufficient bells and whistles to be useful rather than overcomplicated. So far, so good!
