Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the Panasonic Home Chef 4-in-1 Microwave to replace my Panasonic Dimension 4 Microwave which I purchased in the early 90's. Even though, The Home Chef 4-in-1 Microwave comes with an instruction manual the microwave is user friendly and easy to operate, which I like. Although, the unit is smaller than my Panasonic Dimension 4 Microwave, the features are basically the same. Actually, I am still adjusting to the size. I purchased the Panasonic Home Chef 4-in-1 Microwave specifically, for 3-reasons: Firstly, based on my experience. Panasonic makes a quality product. Secondly, the price was affordable. Thirdly, I like the convenience of having everything in one unit, microwave, convection, broiler, right at my fingertips.

Have only used it for a short time, but it does everything well so far.

Absolutely love it!!! The features are awesome, especially the air fryer combo. When you reheat food it tastes great, no microwave taste or over heating with the sensor feature!

Good product works well. I like the sensor setting.

Nice size and color. Fairly quiet when using the multi-oven,

Overall good product; however, not convinced about the Air fryer functionality. When compare with our regular Air Fryer, this model seems weaker and less efficient. I read all the manual looking for tips but I cannot get the same efficiency. Microwave mode great, Convection good, Broil fine...but Air Fryer still not there

The multi-oven is a good unit. My wife & I bought it because our 25-year old microwave gave out. We selected this unit because we wanted to upgrade our air fryer. We thought having the other functions (Convection Bake & Broiler) was an additional bonus. We should not have purchased this oven, and by the time we decided, it was too late (2 1/2 weeks was outside the 2 week window). -We have an oven that is only a few years old, so we really don't use the Convection Bake or Broiler. In addition, the broiler would probably be a nightmare to clean. -The air fryer in this oven doesn't seem to be that good. The capacity is less than our counter-top unit. The cooking time is a lot longer (2 servings of tater tots took 30 min in this unit, but only 10 min in our existing unit). The oven was also more difficult to clean than our air fryer. -We don't have a small space, so we didn't need all this functionality in one unit. -The buttons and button descriptions on this oven are very small. Maybe we are used to a very old unit that had a large touchpad. -I also felt that if using the air fryer, convection bake, or broiler, then the oven should be near the proper air venting. -There are some functions this oven has that our old unit didn't have. We especially like the "sensor" function. It senses when the cooking is complete and turns off the microwave.

Instructions at first were daunting at first but I tried one function at a time and found everything quite easy after a short time. Hardly use my oven anymore. Luv this product.

Nice design and well built but noisy fan, dim display and clumsy interface with a rotary dial. Returned and bought a KitchenAid

Love the versatility of cooking methods. Can be a little overwhelming if stepping up from a small basic microwave. So far we are learning and cooking everything in it. Glad we moved to the combo appliance

Seems fine. Wife finds it more complex than previous models though as you need to push “microwave” first. The turning dial is a good idea but squeaks on ours as it’s made of plastic and rubs on something. I tried the combo settings on some lasagne and it came out golden brown very picturesque. Good to be able to watch the item cooking versus traditional oven with dim lighting. So far so good but definitely more complex than a regular microwave.

Item replaces 20 yo Sharp, which gave excellent service.. Panasonic has more functions including air fryer, which haven’t yet used. In all, easy to use and space efficient.

Great microwave, air fryer, and etc. It’s basically everything all in one. Make sure to read the manual. Its kind of complicated to use at first but once you get used to it, it’s the best thing ever.

Not fully sold on the air fryer part of this appliance. It microwaves well, but we bought it primarily to eliminate multiple appliances sitting on the counter. It takes a lot longer to air fry than are small air fryer that we replaced. Somewhat disappointed but will keep trying to figure it all out.

Love love love this little 4-1 oven so very easy to use .

Happy with my purchase. Have used this almost a year, zero issues. Awesome features.

This is a great, full featured oven. It does everything advertised and does it all well. The operation is easy as well. An unexpected bonus is that it's much lighter than the unit it replaced.

I replaced my microwave with this multioven microwave. I really like it - very easy to use.

Great all-around appliance, happy with most features except broil - seems to be a bit anemic. Also, the programmed features are a bit clunky to use

Very pleased with this. It is a good size, looks nice. It does take some time to discover exactly how to do it all so don't give up.
