Panasonic NN-A554W

Four models are covered by the single manual for this product. The base model is the NN A554 with white enamel finish, NN A524, NN-A574 and the NN A514 the premium aluminium stainless steel finish. Having had good and long service from two previous Panasonic microwaves we opted for the A514 top of the range model. Sadly it deviated from the long standing procedures of entering power level or autoweight program and then entering weight. The 112 page manual does not set out alternative procedures clearly and what is needed is a simple step by step pull out card/s for each of the combined, convection, grill or microwave operations.

Recently I cleaned the microwave I had purchased when we moved into our rented house nearly 4 years ago and well I got a bit excited with the water and kitchen spray and when I next used our microwave I was greeted by a not very pleasant smell of burning and a light that wouldn't go off and a plate that wouldn't stop spinning until turned off at the wall! So yes I had murdered my microwave, well lets call it manslaughter and a replacement was needed. Our grill in our oven had also stopped working about a year ago so I decided that I would like to get a combination microwave as was starting to get severe withdrawal symptoms from cheese on ...  Read the complete review

I have a tiny tiny kitchen and had to search for a microwave that would fit into the tiny space I had available. I was very pleased when I came upon this slimline Panasonic NNA554W. Not only is it a micro wave but it is also has a combination oven. This model was especially designed for compact spaces. It has a 1.3kw quartz grill and fan assisted convection oven with a cool turbo bake, as well as a conventional microwave with 6 power levels. This micro wave also has a function called chaos defrost. The oven lining is hardwearing stainless steel. I find the oven looks great and is also very easy to clean but you must clean immediately because dried on stuff is a ...  Read the complete review

This is a really good microwave that also has a convection oven function that is really quick and handy function to have. My hob oven is quite small and although this is not a massive microwave oven it is really handy to have both as gives a lot more cooking space. The version of the microwave that I have is white, althouhg it does also come in silver. There a re a few differnet functions on the microwave, bsides the normal microwave, it also doubles as a convection oven and a grill. The oven function was very helpful on Christmas Day, as my oven is quite small, so this came into play when helping to try to get eerything vooked in time. It is ...  Read the complete review

I have owned this microwave for a few months now and it well yes it is a microwave but it does so much more than just that. Since I bought it I have used all three functions which I shall comment on: Microwaving - This model is a whopping 1000w which is currently the most powerful setting you can get on a microwave this size, if you do require more (which I really doubt but if you do consider a wall built one), on average when cooking something microwaveable take the 700w time and minus 15 seconds per minute to get the same effect in obviously less time. Oven - The 1st time please read the manual and turn the oven on but with nothing inside as ...  Read the complete review
