Gerry, Sevenoaks, Kent

+ Generally fine all round but see bad points.

- Specified by Panasonic as a combination oven but should be specified as a Browning oven. When used as a conventional convection oven the grill element is also on so you end up burning the top of your food and it may not be cooked on the bottom. The NN-CT776 model is excellent and performs well as a conventional oven.

Geoff, London

+ Produces excellent results on a range of food. Grill is very good and at 1000watts the microwave is fast and powerfull. Being slimline it fitted on the kitchen worktop back to the wall and under the wall units with room to spare. None of the other high power Panasonic models would do this. Looks very stylish.

- Plastic trim around door feels cheap.

+ Does everything you want it to. Perhaps a little too much for our limited culinary household needs! However, if you're a family which eats at odd hours and having the main kitchen oven on for just one person is wasteful, then this machine is good. Great to have a baked potato with crispy skin in only 15 minutes - now that's fast food!

- My only concern is why does everything have to have a clock added. I have heard the statistic that any microwave's clock uses more electricity over the year than the cooking does. So I always turn off the machine after use. I am still having to use the manual quite a bit to discover its potential

+ Small footprint. Easy to clean.

- Poor digital display - I want to see wattage displayed, not 'Low', 'Medium', 'High' Needs greater control - most microwaveable food is recommended at 650W/750W/850W, why can't these settings be dialled in?

Margaret, Poole, “Retired, but extremely busy.”

+ Having a combi rather than just a microwave is much better. It's all stainless steel, so easy to clean. It's excellent value for money and ideal for families and also for one person - no need to use the main cooker! Don't know how I managed without it.

- It doesn't have any.

+ Great for cooking Pizza and pies because it has a combination which does keeps the pastry crisp.... brill. It is very fast, and is easy to clean It's incredible versatile with so many features Use the fan oven all the time, rarely have to use to large kitchen oven now. It's very good looking in the kitchen

- Hardly any, would have like to see it slightly cheaper

Gillian, Glossop

+ I've never had a convection microwave before and find it's really good being able to use conventional cooking along with microwave cooking and really speeds things up. The manual is very clear and also the controls are easy to use. Easy to keep clean and the silver colour looks good.

- Convection oven takes a long time to heat up.
