Score 10.0/10

Good points:: everything really, getting the clock to work took me a few minutes, to understand the manual, but other than that - brilliant. l had a panasonic convection/microwave previously, so this one was to upgrade, and replace the old one. l wouldn't consider any other.
Bad points:: none.

Deborah, Truro Retired

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Very good convection oven, which is the reason I chose this model. The microwave function is excellent too. I don't use the combination function.
Bad points:: None that I have encountered in five years of owning this model (this latest purchase is my second one). It's not the cheapest of microwaves but it fulfills everything I need in this type of cooker.

Product Features

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Main heating type	Conventional
Conventional ovens heat from the bottom so the top of the oven will be slightly hotter than the bottom. This is useful when you’re cooking lots of different dishes at a time. However, they do take a little longer than fan ovens to heat up. Convection (or fan) ovens circulate the air so that you get an even temperature throughout the oven. They are quicker to heat up which means they save on energy and time. Multifunction (convection or conventional) ovens give you the flexibility to use different methods of cooking. They usually have both fan and conventional settings as well as pizza settings that will only cook from the bottom, giving you a crispy pizza, or top-only cooking that is very useful for browning.

Microwave Buyers Guide

Manufacturer's Description

CF7 series introduces the advantages of a Flat Bed Oven into our Combination range of Microwave Ovens. The absence of a turntable significantly increases cooking flexibilities, and new Panasonic technology guarantees even and uniform cooking. A full temperature range of 100C-250C, ensures success when cooking anything from meringues and pastries to roast joints.

Combination cooking can reduce the cooking times by half to two thirds, depending on the food and will give a traditional finish of an ordinary oven. The Drop Down Door will allow you to easily insert and extract your finished dishes with little effort.

In line with Panasonic ECO IDEAS this model also comes with energy saving functions: it reduces energy consumption when not operating, in addition to energy saving advantages common to all inverter ovens.
