Overview
Small-kitchen cooks who want one appliance for reheating, air frying, baking and broiling get a Panasonic countertop oven with inverter microwave power and a FlashXpress broiler. Sensor cooking adjusts time for many foods, and a stainless interior wipes clean.
Replacing a toaster oven and an air fryer with one countertop box is the reason to buy. Inverter microwave power cooks more evenly at lower settings, which helps with defrosting. The limits are bulk and weight, and the listing gives little on cooking capacity for air frying.
Who it's for
Apartment cooks, couples and dorm-style kitchens short on counter space get several cooking modes in one appliance. Households wanting a slim microwave or a built-in install should look at other models.
Pros and cons
- Microwave, air fryer, convection and broiler in one
- Inverter technology for even low-power cooking
- Sensor cooking adjusts automatically
- Air fry basket and trays included
- Heavy and large for a countertop
- Countertop only, no built-in option
- Air fry basket capacity not stated
- Short manufacturer warranty
Performance notes
Inverter power delivers a steady lower output instead of switching full power on and off, which reduces cooked edges when defrosting. Air frying and convection depend on the fan moving hot air around the food on the rack or basket. The broiler browns tops quickly, so rack height decides how fast food colors.
