Panasonic NNA873S

This is the second dimension 4 combination microwave I've purchased. Fantastic microwave and convection cooking. Use daily.

Build quality very poor. Turntable stopped working on earlier model (NN-A752W) Got new model (NNA873S) Space excellent as is two shelf cooking capacity. Door is falling apart!

Might consider changing brand. Just contacted Panasonic - see what happens! Think Panasonic should slow down on producing new models and increase build quality of range before moving on.

Sorry, couldn't recommend.

Seems to be easy to use and works well. I like the auto setting for pizza - works every time! I also like the power of this unit and the styling seems to fit most kitchens. Well done panasonic!!

The Panasonic NNA873S is a very stylish piece of equipment and comes with a very good name. I purchased an oven in January 2008 from my local electrical supplier.Three months later it had to be replaced because of problems with the door.I am again having the same problems with the replacement oven and believe this may have to be replaced again. It would appear from my experience that the door unit is of poor design and need further changes. I'm rather disappointed with this oven and I'm not too certain that given the opportunity again that I would buy another similar model.

This is the Panasonic NNA873S upgrade. I had the earlier dimension 4. That was very, very good. This is fantastic. If they continue to make it. I'll continue to buy. All features work very well. The self cleaning and easy clean features are very effective. Really worth the time to read instructions and get to know your cooker. It'll more than repay you in fantastic results.

We bought the Panasonic NN-A873S1 BBXQ microwave oven off the shelf in Comet about a month ago. We had a new kitchen put in with a new oven, but we didn't want to use the oven much, as we plan to sell the house at some point next year, so we bizarrely spent another 250 quid on this gadget!!

So we bought this as a table top oven. It comes with multiple accessories for grilling high and low, cooking trays, anti splash trays,

Really nice brushed metal styling. I have good previous experience with Panasonic make, and was drawn to the multiple cooking modes, including the "turbo bake" capability and "chaos defrost".

We've tried multiple cooking combinations so far, and once we got over the initial learning curve, we've had excellent results. The recipes in the book are surprisingly good, and we've had about half a dozen of those (Cumberland sausage curry was extremely good). It's sometimes a bit difficult to find cooking instructions for individual items in the book, but we've begun scribbling notes, and this has helped.

We've had things like oven chips and pies cooking, and they are really good. They benefit from moving via the turntable, even when just in convection mode. Casserole type foods work quite well, and it's easy when you can just throw everything in a single container and leave it to cook. The auto reheat mode seems to work quite well (eg. throw a carton of soup in, press auto reheat and it figures it out based on humidity or something), but sometimes it seems to overdo it a tad.

I think the proof is that we have used this 4 - 5 times a week in the evenings, and for doing soups for lunch at the weekends. It's easy to clean (being counter top height).

It's clearly an expensive device, but I took a chance on it based on gut feeling, and we've not been disappointed. We've not had to go back to the new and unused integrated oven!
