Panasonic NNE255 Microwave Oven Reviews

The NN E255 Microwave Oven is a popular solo oven from Panasonic. The solo oven is different from the other series of combination ovens.

As the names imply, combination ovens consist of a combination of microwave, grill and convection oven features, while the solo ovens are more a pure breed – just microwave functions.

For most of us, who already have a grill and /or convection oven, shifting to a combination unit may not be very attractive. After all why pay the extra money to get functionality which we already have.

Besides, with some clever tips on using microwave and traditional ovens, you can still save sufficient time in cooking foods.

So if you are someone who’s just looking for a plain microwave with all its rich features but no additional functionality, the Panasonic NNE255 Microwave Oven is perfect choice for you.

This is a low-medium oven with 800W capacity. At 19 liters capacity, it is not a monster that will eat up your counter space.

It‘s dimensions are 31.5cms x 20.3cms x 29.5cms – just right for a modern day cluttered kitchen counter. It has five power levels giving you enough flexibility to cook a wide range of foods.

You can choose from Warm (90 Watts), Defrost (270 watts), Low (360 Watts), Medium (600 Watts) and High (800 Watts) power levels.
