Panasonic CF87 Speed Convection Oven, Grill, Flatbed, 31Litre, Two Level Cooking, Genius Sensor, 32 Auto Programmes, Easy Clean, 1000W Combination Microwave Oven

I struggle to find the words that describe this convection oven succinctly. It really is an impressive piece of kit, which you never knew you needed.I bought this to replace a high-spec microwave and wasn't sure it could match it. However, I have been really surprised, by just how good this oven is. You really can cook, almost everything you can imagine: from scratch; from frozen; or simply reheating something. I really didn't know I needed this, until it arrived. Now, I can't do without it.I could fill this review, by describing everything that the convection oven does well, but that would require more time than anyone has. Yes, it is expensive, it is heavy, and it does take up a lot of room, but it does everything you could possible need. I don't use my old school gas cooker anymore, because of this oven. It literally does cook everything, apart from something you might want to use a hob for. However, there are still ways you can achieve that too.It is more energy-efficient than my previous microwave and does far more. It is really easy to keep clean and doesn't retain the smell of food you cooked the day before. So, it is like cooking from new each time you use it. One thing I didn't realise it had was the drip container, which collects any condensation from cooking. It needs to be checked regularly, but I have used it daily, for 2 months now and not come close to emptying anything more than a trickle.If you can afford this convection oven and have the space, I really would recommend buying it. It does everything that is described and more. I did a lot of research, before settling on this, which I would always suggest to anyone considering making an investment like this. However, you won't regret it.

I love my new combi microwave/convection oven/grill!Instruction booklet is thick but more than half of it contains defrost times and recipes! It’s really not complicated to use! It’s basically a super microwave: you can choose the level of power you want and it is very large capacity. The convection oven works great and is quick to heat up, both things which make it very eco-friendly. The grill also has different heat levels and works very well.It is more powerful than my old microwave but much quieter, which is a big plus.The whole thing is super-easy to clean, inside and out, which is great, and the wire rack, enamel baking tray and glass tray are also super-easy to clean.Haven’t used any of the auto or combi programs yet but so far I am thrilled with this oven so I’m sure I will enjoy using these too.All in all, a definite 5* from me!

The media could not be loaded. The microwave is straightforward and not much has changed since previous models. The all-in-one function is where this oven excels! Excellent convection oven. The grill function leaves much to be desired as it can't really match a real barbecue.Pros:- Sleek and modern design- State-of-the-art convection oven- Smart defrosting and delayed timer functionCons:- Auto cooking program is not printed on the oven, requiring you to refer to the user manual to match the program number against the function.- Self-cleaning feature doesn't seem to work- Dim light & tray quality could be better.Overall, a very solid & irreplaceable cooker in the kitchen. It helps to save time with the delayed cooking function. Strongly recommended.

By far the best combination oven I’ve ever bought. It’s easy to use, spacious, and the new design is incredibly clever. By moving the control panel to the door, they’ve made the interior larger, giving me more cooking space. It heats up quickly, and my croissants come out looking professionally baked. I’m really happy with this purchase!

I don't write reviews, but I felt this one was necessary. I am about to purchase another one of these magnificent machines for my cottage after 3 years of using it. This has been one of the best items I have used on a regular day-to-day basis in the kitchen, second to my air fryer. It's a workhorse, quick & very efficient. I know it's pricy, but so worth it! a Little gradient on getting used to the programs and use of all the functions, but once you get it you got it. It is super durable...not sure what material from which planet they used to construct it, but very impressive. From cakes to, roasted chicken. you name it. Love this device. Totally worth it!

I bought this back in February 2022, to replace a previous aging flatbed Panasonic Microwave/Convection oven. This was the only one I could find that would allow two shelves simultaneously for convection oven cooking.Whilst slightly bigger in cooking space than our old one, this is narrower which is great for the worktop space.The controls are all button based, so it takes seven button presses just to microwave something for 60 seconds - thats a let down - our old Panasonic had a rotary digital dial which was much quicker and easier to use. The buttons also dont work if you're wearing gloves as they appear to be conductive rather than pressure sensitive.We used to love the Jacket potato program on our old Panasonic - type in the weight and we got perfect fluffy jackets with crispy skins every time. This oven cannot match it, it uses a sesnor so it doesnt really know the weight of potatoes being cooked, the skins are soft and the bottom of the potato is rock hard - its a complete waste of time.In general use, the microwave and oven do work perfectly well, and I would have given it 4 stars (5 for my old Panasonic), until I had to reach out to Panasonic support. A woeful experience which took 45 minutes on a chat with "support" to finally get them to simply tell me the part number for the glass tray, which had broken and I needed to replace. Unbelievably the support agent was going to book a service engineer to come out and replace the glass tray that sits on top of the metal grill shelf.
