According to our microwave expert
With the Panasonic NN-CS88LBEPG combi microwave, you have a lot of cooking options. Make a pizza, put healthy vegetables on the table with the steaming function, or use the crisp function to bake crispy chicken. Don't know how long your dish needs to be in the oven before it's ready? Select the type of dish and the Genius Sensor does everything for you. Or choose one of the 36 automatic programs. This way, you can effortlessly put extensive meal for 3 or 4 people on the table. Thanks to the high-end preparation quality, the microwave heats up your dishes evenly. Even the bottom of your lasagna. And with a power of 1000 watts, it does this relatively quickly as well.

Design
The Panasonic NN-CS88LBEPG (at Panasonic they still have to learn that "Inverter Combi-Oven 31 liters" is a bit easier) is a very solidly built combination oven. In addition to microwave (via rotating antenna -> done with that turntable!) it has a grill element, hot air (convention) and a full steam function. All elements are seamlessly integrated so that the inside of the oven is clean and clutter-free. This is a joy to clean which is oh-so-convenient when you forgot to poke holes in your sausage.
The manual is extremely extensive and explains everything from needle to thread so that you don't try to heat up that aluminum bowl of the Chinese with the microwave. If you want to completely turn off your brain, there are auto-cook programs ranging from "hot meal" to "banana cake for babies". You choose the right program after which the device asks you how much the weight is. Then it indicates which dish you should place in which shelf height of the oven and then you have to wait for that Instagram-worthy dish! ...or not. Experimental determination proves the contrary. Baking bread? Program 8! Yes, I put my 2 pre-baked buns of exactly 500 grams in as the program prescribes with the correct tray at the correct height and lo and behold: 2 half-baked semi-microwaved buns. Which you just put back in the convection oven at 200 degrees and then they are ready. Same story with steam and other combo programs. The duration of the programs does not correspond to the actual cooking time/cooking time needed even if you strictly follow the weight.
Conclusion: Do not focus on the auto-cook because it is worthless. Rather use all functions (steam, grill, microwave and hot air) separately with your own parameters, then you have a great combi oven.

I was looking for a freestanding combi microwave with baking trays. This was the only appliance that had everything I was looking for: strong grill, hot air, strong microwave, 3 levels for the baking trays. I've already started the year super: bought at Christmas, delivered the next morning before 9 am, and I've enjoyed it a lot this week: apple strudel, bake-off bread, baked croissants, baked apple turnovers and apple pie, melting butter, baking cinnamon rolls, croquettes, fries , heating up chocolate milk, heating up New Year's Eve dishes on 2 levels at the same time... in 20 minutes everything was warm! Blessed! This morning (my birthday :-) we kept the buns warm in the oven...mmm yummy!

Just a week in the house and first read the manual. This one is very clear and pleasant. You do not need the booklet for all automatic programs because there is a nice overview sticker (for eg side) included. It is a beautiful device to look at and the symbols on the control panel speak for themselves. I steamed beans with program 30 and it was perfect and delicious in taste. It is not built-in, so it will cost you a lot of counter space. Always refilling water manually and emptying the drip tray is also less convenient in practice, but very nice and useful to have as a supplement in your kitchen.
