Panasonic CF87 Speed Convection Oven, Grill, Flatbed, 31Litre, Two Level Cooking, Genius Sensor, 32 Auto Programmes, Easy Clean, 1000W Combination Microwave Oven

I absolutely love this. My microwave/oven broke just before Christmas, so I had to replace it, and I’m really glad I chose this one. It’s impressively quiet, both on the microwave and convection settings, which I really like. The internal space is fantastic, I can easily cook enough food for a family of four. It is a little complicated at first, so reading the instruction manual is definitely worthwhile. I haven’t tried the combination settings yet, but there’s a clear, easy-to-read chart near the front of the manual that shows at a glance what can and can’t be used with each function, which is really helpful. It’s absolutely worth paying a little extra for. The design is sleek and stylish, and the high-power settings mean food cooks quickly and comes out beautifully. I cooked all of the meat and vegetables for Christmas dinner in it with excellent results. Finally, it’s very easy to clean, there’s no exposed element, so it just needs a simple wipe down.

WARNING!!! Make sure you read the instructions properly regarding the "Wire Rack" DO NOT USE IT WITH THE MICROWAVE ON IT'S OWN. I am on my third one of these same machines in only 6 years. The first only lasted 2 years and then the second 4 years. Ironically I always read the instruction manuals before using any new item but unfortunately the Instructions with this machine are a little ambiguous. Ridiculously I have only just re-read the booklet discovered that you can use the "Wire Rack" in Combination with Oven, Grill and Microwave. BUT you cannot use it with the microwave alone. This is what caused both of my machines to fail as they melted the wire rack even though I have been using it like that for 4 years. What rang alarm bells with me was not only the short amount of time they lasted but a couple of users had theirs 10 years. I love this Panasonic Combination along with using their bread machines for 30 years. And there is nothing out there that I could find to match this oven. I use it every day for final proving and baking my doughs. Fruit cake only takes 45mins on Combi 8. BUT just be aware of my warning above and hopefully it will last considerably longer.

I love my microwave oven I purchased this because I love my old one and I want it to get the same brand but I updated version because my neighbour downstairs gave me the old one and I loved it so much I used it more than I use my normal oven like in the kitchen so are used this one a lot and then when it died on me I knew I had to replace it it's like the washing machine he just can't live without it so I saved up some money and then I purchased it just before Christmas 2023 so I can use it for my roast potatoes and roast lamb an other things for Christmas when it came it was slightly bigger than the old version and the box was huge but I knew what to do and I took it apart and I put it on my bed so we can see the difference between the old version and the new version the touch screen at the front was very easy to understand it might look slightly different from the old version but it was basically the same thing and how to use it so I knew when I put my cooked food well I put in containers so when I'm hungry I just put it in the microwave part it'll be fine the beeping is quieter than the old one but I can recognise it as long my music or when I'm watching movies it's not too loud I just have to keep our eye on it once in a while like looking over my shoulder but it comes out really hot and it works out really well I don't really need to look at the manual for roasting because I know how to do it I'm because I made cakes in there before as well as cupcakes and other types of food like I said I had this before it's just the older version I would give this four stars I don't think anything 's worth 5 stars but it is really good it comes with a grill attachment and some tray attachment and a glass tray as well I guess that must be for vegetables maybe and some other little things what I can't remember right now but yes it's very nice I love it it's a great purchase I know it's a little on the expensive side but this is the sort of thing once she have it and you're using it you really can't go back to a normal microwave I know normal microwaves are cheap but this is equivalent to a microwave then a sandwich maker is to the air fryer and I'm not kidding this product is the equivalent to a microwave when a normal microwave might as well just have one heat setting and that is on and off anyway you get the point I hope this is being helpful to you it's really easy to use it really easy to clean and attachments so you can make fancy foods if you don't wanna use your air fryer for certain things goodbye and good luck.

Bought this to replace an older model Panasonic flat bed combination. It took me a while to decide, my hesitation being the cost, but the balancing factors were interior capacity (yet smaller footprint) and ease of cleaning, particularly the grill. I have yet to explore all features but have to say everything I have tried so far has produced perfect results. The sensor cooking is brilliant, especially good for jacket potatoes, and it is so quiet compared to my old one. It also has a more solid, better quality finish, than the old machine. The only minor criticism, but not enough to mark it down for, is that the interior light could do with being a bit brighter. Now knowing what it is like, given the choice, would I buy it again? ....absolutely yes, no hesitation!

I love my new combi microwave/convection oven/grill! Instruction booklet is thick but more than half of it contains defrost times and recipes! It’s really not complicated to use! It’s basically a super microwave: you can choose the level of power you want and it is very large capacity. The convection oven works great and is quick to heat up, both things which make it very eco-friendly. The grill also has different heat levels and works very well. It is more powerful than my old microwave but much quieter, which is a big plus. The whole thing is super-easy to clean, inside and out, which is great, and the wire rack, enamel baking tray and glass tray are also super-easy to clean. Haven’t used any of the auto or combi programs yet but so far I am thrilled with this oven so I’m sure I will enjoy using these too. All in all, a definite 5* from me!
