“CATERS WELL EVEN FOR A LARGE FAMILY, THE DEPTH IS LESS...”

CATERS WELL EVEN FOR A LARGE FAMILY, THE DEPTH IS LESS THAN OTHER COMBINATION MICROWAVES WHICH IS AN ADVANTAGE ESPECIALLY IN A SMALL KITCHEN.IT COMPARES VERY MUCH TO THE PANASONIC 554, APART FROM THE EXTERIOR BEING OF STAINLESS STEEL AND HAS WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS "PROPER BUTTONS TO PUSH, NOT THE TOUCH SENSITIVE BUTTONS WHICH CAN SOMETIMES BE HARDER TO PUSH.HAVING RESEARCHED EXTENSIVELY BEFORE PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT I AM FULLY SATISFIED WITH THE COOKING RESULTS....PERFECT EVEN COOKING USING THE CONVECTION OVEN, EASY TO CLEAN...A GOOD TIP IS TO PLACE FOOD IN THE CONVECTION OVEN AS IT PREHEATS TO THE TEMPERATURE REQUIRED, THIS ENSURES THE FOOD IS THOROUGHLY COOKED AND NOT BURNT, YOU CAN LITERALLY USE IT LIKE YOU WOULD USE YOUR PROPER OVEN, BUT YOU DON,T GET THE PROBLEMS OF SMOKE ALARMS GOING OFF AND A FULL BLAST OF STEAM IN YOUR FACE! SINCE HAVING THE PANASONIC 574 MY KITCHEN OVEN HAS BECOME REDUNDANT, I EVEN HEAT MUGS OF WATER IN THE MICROWAVE FOR CUPS OF TEA AND COFFEE..IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHOP AROUND FOR THE PRICE OF THIS MICROWAVE, THE VALUE RANGES FROM £169.00- £250.00 DEPENDING ON WEBSITE.

THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE I WOULD STATE, IS THAT IF YOU WERE POORLY SIGHTED, THE PRINT NEXT TO THE BUTTONS COULD BE DIFFICULT TO SEE AS IT IS BLACK WRITING ON STAINLESS STEEL, IF THIS WAS THE CASE, THE WHITE PANASONIC 554 WOULD BE A LOT CLEARER TO SEE.(BOTH THESE MICROWAVES SHARE THE SAME INSTRUCTION BOOKLET.)ALSO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO PUT THE METAL TRAY IN WHEN USING CONVECTION AND REMEMBER TO REMOVE IT WHEN NORMAL MICROWAVING..
