It was straightforward to use from the moment we unpacked the oven. We tried baked potatoes in it and they were pretty good, we usually put them in a conventional oven, so they compared favourably. I like the safety mechanism, i.e. if more than 3 instructions given/buttons pressed, the oven will not work till reset again, which is pretty straightforward and a useful but we did have to search for this in the booklet as we initially could not work out why the oven would not work. But it made sense once we found the page with this info on. Nice oven, looks smart.

This microwave oven is very good value for money and is very easy to use. It is quite small, but big enough to cook or re-heat food. It has 3 functions – microwave, grill or combination cooking which are very useful. It looks very good too.

I use this device for microwaving, grilling, auto cooking. All food once used to it, come out well.

I bought this as it offers both grilling and micorwave functionality. I live in a small studio and everything I buy usually to save space. I chose this rather than buying microwave and grill seperately and it is also from a good brand and the price was also reasonable at 75 GBP. THe microwave works great and it is good but when it comes to grilling its only heating from the top part so if you are grilling something like a chicken you have to open in betweeen and turn the chicken, but you cannot bake pizza or bread in it as it only heats up the top part.

Excellent microwave,it was a bit smaller but was very easy to set up and use and so far I am very satisfied with the product.

Works well looks good, does the job. Note…its silver, not white.

Very neat plus value for the make, amazing. Looks lovely in kitchen. Haven’t had chance to use it yet so need to study manual.

Easy to use and great price for a good brand.

small but ideal .very good value and easy to use

Very happy with the microwave. Once you read the guidance it does the job it’s designed for. Easy meals just a push button away.

l had a earlier model of this microwave and this one is even easier to use , good all round, no problems

Our Panasonic Microwave of old died so we looked for a replacement and settled with this one, function wise its great – although we will probably never use the grill.

The only issue we have with the thing is its about an inch shorter inside than the old one – so if you want microwave popcorn be careful as the bag often gets stuck when turning 🙁

Can’t fault Panasonic microwaves, always had them for 20 years now, simple and easy to operate.

Like everything about it easy to use and the colour.

Had to return first oven, had a replacement within 3days, great service and delivery. Oven just the right size for my small kitchen, jacket potato took 14 mins, magic! Thank you.

So far no complaints. Bit more complicated but that is because it also has a grill. A family might benefit
from the larger model but for one it is perfect. Recomend

The grill is a bonus for the price. Nice looking and easy to use. Good microwave for 1 or 2 people. Tends to move a bit when pressing as you have to keep it 10 cms from back wall.
Not really a problem.
Only dislike so far is 5 bleeps when it has finished. A bit annoying but good if your a bit deaf or preoccupied.

We never realised just how, over time, our old microwave oven had gradually lost power. for the first few time we overcooked everything..BUT It is an excellent oven and I’ve just bought a second one to help with catering for friends visits.

We got two Panasonic microwaves – this (NN-K18JMMBPQ) for work and a NN-CT54JWBPQ at twice the price for home. I have to say both are really good microwaves and highly recommended. It’s taken a bit of getting used to but now we’ve figured out all of the features it’s really our to go appliance for cooking in the kitchen. So much so that we tend not to use our regular oven anywhere as much. For a microwave that’s not terribly bulky or heavy it has an decent 20 litre capacity. This means if you’re tight for space you don’t have to worry. That combined with the built in 9 programmes, convection and grill functionality make for a great appliance. Saying that it is quite easy to get going with it as it’s quite intuitive and the instructions are easy to follow. The 800-1000 watts of power also make for fast cooking. We’ve found that no matter which function we are using the food comes out evenly cooked. We have a young family and it ideal for them – ranging from using the child meal options to cooking pizza. Overall we’re very impressed and struggle to come up with any criticisms. If money weren’t an issue I’d say considering paying the extra for the NN-CT54JWBPQ model as you get a full 1000 watt power and faster cooking, 27 litre capacity and 29 programmes. However, if you’re on a budget then this is still an excellent microwave, just a bit less oomph. Recommended.

Actually, this is a microwave that will fit in any kitchen, but it comes out top for a small kitchen, and for someone who will be doing more reheating than cooking – so ideal for students.

Three things stand out for me. One, that small footprint – this will fit just about anywhere, but still fits 20l inside.
Two, the grill – it won’t make a great souffle, but it will reheat a pizza in minutes
and Three, it has seven useful presets – being able to pop in a potato and then ignore it for 14 minutes and get a nicely crisped jacket takes care of all the student calorie needs which aren’t covered by kebabs and pot noodles.

To be honest I took one star off the Easy to Clean because of the fact that it had a recess that made it a little trickier than a lot of other models but at the end of the day, that was because I was being very picky about that one thing. Other than that I really can’t fault it.

In a time when space is at a premium in most homes, items tend to have to be multifunctional to warrant space in your kitchen. Having a grill within the microwave makes this so much better as it gives you a lot of versatility with the food that you’re preparing.

The micro output is bang on 800 Watts and for me reheats the food precisely to the way I like it as well as having good air filtration through the various slits to help avoid the steam built up that occurs in a lot of earlier models. Add to this a known brand name and the fact that I last bought a Panasonic Micro years ago and I’m only just replacing it. Says enough about the build quality. Really can’t fault it.

This is our second Panasonic microwave oven. The other one was ‘borrowed’ by our daughter for her new flat.
It is a small oven, with a neat look to it.
The microwave is 800 watts, and the grill is 1000watts.
Good for reheating convenience food, making jacket spuds, grilling cheese sandwiches and that sort of thing
Pretty versatile overall, with a few useful presets to get you started. Not really big enough to do ‘proper’ cooking, but at this sort of size and price you wouldn’t really expect that.

This Panasonic Microwave NN-K18JMMBPQ – I believe represents good value, it’s a compact microwave and has a smaller footprint.

It is a quick and easy to use Microwave and Grill combi oven, however, for me the combi times and grill usage was hard to figure out what timing to use for other goods. I found that there are a few forums on the net that will help you, from other people who have used the same oven for other types of foods. Nonetheless still an affordable and not heavy microwave. It should fit anywhere in a kitchen and blend-in with silver/grey appliances that are already there.

I have used this microwave to reheat, defrost and cook various types of food and the performance was good and the food tasted nice and warmed up well throughout without cold spots/areas.

In general, this is a really smart looking and well-designed microwave. It does well in reheating and defrosting. The heating performance is fast and effective, the build is durable and the design is compact. Has a smaller footprint and find this more suitable to my needs.
