Panasonic HomeChef 4-in-1 1.2 cu ft Multi-Oven with Airfryer, Microwave, Convection Oven and Broiler – NN-CD87KS: Countertop Microwave Oven

This is our second Panasonic combo oven and I love it! We still use the older one at our TX home, and just bought one for our vacation home in CO. I cook in these more than I use my oven! Highly recommend!

This is not what I expected. it always locks and cant figure out how to keep it from locking. It takes for ever to heat food and defrost compared to our 20+ year old one. Very disappointed.

This is a great oven,wish I had bought it before.Instead I bought a Toshiba Oven what a piece of crap.It never worked correctly from the fist day I bought it.I will buy panasonic from now on.

This is a very underpowered oven. Takes forever to preheat and even then the temperature constantly drops. Air fryer dries out chicken tenders and turns them into stringy jerky. Takes longer to cook than in my traditional oven. Fries also get a weird texture from air fryer. From reading the manual, I think the air fryer combines microwave heat with the broiler hence the weird food texture. The convection oven works ok without creating weird textures but also takes longer than my regular oven. The microwave setting works great but it leaks radiation. I might return.

I had really high hopes for this product, and the microwave is really fantastic. On the downside, the broiler, the convection oven and the air fryer all only function as broilers. Anything cooked in the air fryer turns out crisp on top and soggy on the bottom. I have mixed results with the convection oven. Take and bake pizzas end up burned on top and uncooked on the bottom. Baked goods also end up over done on the top before they are cooked through. I'm not sure if this is a poorly designed product or I got a lemon, but I am sorry I chose this model.

This 4-in1 oven is fantastic. Very easy to use

This is the most amazing microwave I’ve ever owned or used. It’s not just a microwave, it’s a 4-in-1, an air fryer, broiler, convection oven and microwave. All functions truly work and work well. So much can be done with this. We use it way more than we thought we would. It works great for quick reheating and for cooking whole meals. It’s the perfect size, it’s very roomy yet doesn’t take up too much counter space and with this we no longer need a separate appliance for air frying. It’s easy to use and has an easy to follow handbook. There’s handy presets to help you out/save time and a sensor reheat option. It comes with the needed accessories, airfry basket, broil rack and tray and a cookbook too. It has a nice sleek design and looks great. It has been a wonderful addition to our kitchen!

This appliance is awesome. I have to cook for a lot of people with different tastes as a I am a Foster mom and this is a dream. The different ways I can make things is so much easier and fun. Each part works great the only problem I have is that it is difficult to keep clean otherwise it is a mom's dream

sturdy packaging. ..had to try several times to set time...so easy to use. ..manual helpful...easy to open. ..will be a great addition to our kitchen.

It's only been 1 week since I received my new Panasonic HomeChef appliance, but so far I'm loving it! It's very easy to use and has several settings to easily select the right one. It was a bit pricier than what I intended to spend, but well worth the price!

This Panasonic HomeChef 4-in-1 1.2 cu ft Multi-Oven with Airfryer, Microwave, Convection Oven and Broiler gave my fancy professional home range a run for its money! Truth be told, I’ve never been a huge fan of microwaved food. This gorgeous Panasonic multi-oven has certainly CONVERTED ME FOR SURE and I wanted some time to test out a few recipes before writing this review. First of all READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and you will be exceedingly pleased with your results. The oven needs to be prepped the first time to burn off any manufacturing oils that have remained inside. DO THAT and you won’t smell any weird odors. The oven comes with a detailed instruction booklet as well as a recipe booklet. Panasonic also has an app called Drop with more recipes for this unit and their other Panasonic units which is an added plus. This oven comes with a glass tray, enamel tray, wire rack, and airfry basket which are used together or separately depending on the cooking setting. It also uses a dial knob and push buttons which is a bit different from its competition that uses keypads. There are quite a few one-push built-in reheating/cooking/melting modes too such as Cake, Frozen Pizza, Cream Cheese, Roast Chicken, etc. I wanted this specific Panasonic oven because it has an air fryer option and I didn’t want yet another appliance sitting on my countertop. The air fryer setting makes crispy fish sticks. Also, it broils quite nicely. I made the Panasonic recipe for Macaroni and Cheese and it was very tasty. You make the sauce using the Microwave setting and then use the Airfry/Broil/Combo setting to bake the mac and cheese. I used the Broil setting to brown the panko breading on top of the mac and cheese before serving. Made the delicious Panasonic Lemon Mug Cake recipe which is like a light sponge cake using the Microwave setting. Also, the Airfry/Broil/Combo setting made baked potatoes using the recipe in the accompanying recipe booklet that were better than I’ve had in years. Crispy skins with super fluffy interiors. The oven will sound when it’s done and you can add more time or remove and enjoy your cooked dish. Check out my photos!! My next plans are to roast a whole chicken and bake some cookies in this unit. And try out the veggie fries recipe, too. My only caution is to be sure that you read the instructions carefully and use the correct setting(s). You’ll probably have some trial-and-error until you get used to this oven which is pretty normal IMHO. Cleanup is pretty easy even with the airfry basket which just took a quick soak in hot soapy water. The interior only needs a quick wipe-down. As recommended, I got some round high heat parchment paper that fits into the enamel tray to collect spills. There is also a CHILD LOCK safety option which is noted in the instruction booklet. I love this oven and I think you will love it, too! Be sure to note the dimensions of the oven yet remember it’s multiple appliances in one. Thank you, Panasonic for making my life easier!

This all in one microwave is a dream come true. It's a microwave, broiler, air fryer and convection oven in one. It heats and cooks well in all modes. I have been able to get rid of my air fryer. My only small complaint is I really wish this was available in a bigger size.

I am sure that the more I use it the more I will love it. There is a lot to learn about the features so it is important to read the manual. Absolutely love the size and also dislike it. It is able to fit a 13 x 9 pan, but if you have one like mine the handles make it too large to spin properly. My 11 x8 pans fit great. The large oven is great when I want to place a whole casserole dish to be cooked at once, but the drawback is the entire oven is large and takes up a lot of space. You need to be able to have enough room for it to vent. I would recommend not having anything on top of or very close to the sides. You really should read over the manual first. Having so many settings can be overwhelming. I do wish it had a keypad. I would prefer to punch in the numbers rather than turning the dial. Once you know what all the settings do it is much easier. The convection oven and combination microwave and broiler are my most used settings. This is great for frozen dinners that you microwave until thawed and then bake to give a better texture than microwaves do. The airfry function could be better. It seems a bit slower than my Ninja Foodie but it also cooks a larger amount at once. I have not tried to fully bake in it yet so I can not say how well works on it's own, It has worked great to microwave for a bit and then finish with bake. I love all the presets and the sensor cooking. They make so easy to just start it and let go until it beeps. You also can set it so that it does not beep and the end of cycle if you would rather.

Love that this appliance is all in one but it is very heavy which is probably a good thing! It works great for microwave and air fryer. Easy to set up and use. It is pretty big so if limited space may not be for,you.

Wow what a great Microwave/Broiler/Airfryer. This thing does it all. If you could only have one appliance for cooking this would do it. I first took my sweet potatoes and softened them up in the microwave. They peeled a bit easier after that. I could have done it longer. Then we cut them sprayed them with some olive oil, put brown sugar and cinnamon on them. We used the Airfryer to cook the sweet potatoes. They turned out great. The texture was perfect and they were well cooked, all of them. We then tried potatoes to make french fries. Well those were even more crispy. I would probably do the sweet potatoes longer next time. The french fries were just like coming out of a deep fryer. We barely put some oil sprayed on them with seasoning. Next we tried cooking Chicken under the broiler. That turned out very healthy. I think I could have done broil a little longer as they did not brown as much as I would have liked. Then we made the lemon mug cake and modified the recipe to make chocolate mug cake. Those turned out good. I think I should have used a smaller mug but still turned out well cooked. LOVE this microwave/airfryer/broiler magic machine.

This is a super cool microwave unit! It comes with not just the Microwave and Turntable like your traditional units but it also has a Wire Rack High, Enamel Tray, Airfry Basket, and a great Quick recipe guide! You can use it as a microwave, convection oven, air fryer and broiler. This unit can help free up space, help prevent wasting time preheating and the only thing that would make it better is if it was a built in toaster too lol! I love the safety lock and silent mode are great for our house and 4 kids!

This is great. It has four options which work so well. It actually cuts down on having to have so many appliances. It is easy to use. It is very easy to keep clean. I like that it is super easy for Mt eight year old to use.

I am beyond happy with my Panasonic HomeChef 4-in-1 1.2 cu ft Multi-Oven with Airfryer, Microwave, Convection Oven and Broiler. I literally use it for everything I cook now. Since getting this, I've been able to put away most of my other small appliances. This awesome cooker does almost everything! Set up is easy. The directions are easy to follow and understand, it even comes with a full color cookbook with recipes that can be made using each of this cooker's functions. Instead of a keypad like most microwaves have, this one has push buttons and a dial. At first look, I thought oh no, this may be complicated, haha, but it really isn't. Once I got used to it, I actually found it a bit quicker to use than a classic keypad. The alert sound when food is done is loud enough to hear from the next room. It's big enough to make an entire frozen pizza, but it's not bulky. It looks nice on my countertop, and the stainless steel matches my other appliances perfectly. This Home Chef comes with everything you need as far as accessories go, a glass carousel, enamel tray, wire basket and a wire rack. A page in the instructions let's you know which cooking accessory can be used with each cooking function. So far each function works amazing. I made a frozen pizza last night using the convection oven function, and my kids and I agreed it tasted way better cooked this way, and we won't be making it in the regular oven any more. The mozzarella sticks I made using the air fryer cooked to perfection, and the microwave heats great, and does so quickly. The broiler function made my garlic bread extra yummy. The keep warm function and child lock are nice, handy features my previous microwaves never had. After use, everything is easy to clean and/or wipe down. I love everything about this microwave, and I think you will too.

Panasonic really knocked it out of the park with this one! I find as time goes on we all have so many appliances and only so much counterspace. This makes it so I can have one beautiful machine that does a multitude of things. The air fireworks extremely well and perfectly crisps my food. The microwave feature cooks evenly and quickly. I find it’s also great for when you’re baking a small amount and don’t need to go through turning on your oven. Heats up quickly!

This is perfect. I love that I can cook so much in this and it tastes great. I really like that this is an all in one microwave. There is no need for several kitchen appliances because this does it all. It is very easy to use. I like that this also looks great and is very stylish.
