Consumer-approved Air Frying Performance*

Experience Air-Fryer Crispiness without the Extra Appliance*

Thanks to the top fan, the Panasonic Air Fryer Microwave provides powerful all-round hot airflow, just like a conventional air fryer. The dedicated basket is 31.6cm wide and holds up to 800g of frozen fries and other family favourites – foods everyone loves without the need for oil.
*Based on a blind taste sensory study with 104 consumers comparing fries baked in Panasonic microwaves (with air fry mode) NN-CD88 and NN-CD5/CT5 Series vs. those baked in Panasonic air fryer NF-CC600 (UK, 2025). Crispiness may vary by dish and baking time.

Authentic Air Fryer Top Fan

The fan is located at the top of the Air Fryer Microwave, just like in a standard air fryer. This allows the hot air to circulate quickly and to evenly crisp up the food – unlike a conventional combi oven, where the fan is located at the back.
A comparison graphic shows two side‑by‑side appliances. The left side is labeled “Conventional Combi Microwave,” and the right side is labeled “Panasonic Slim Line Combi Microwave.

Space-saving & Flexible

An Air Fryer and Microwave in one means you need just one appliance for all your cooking needs. Thanks to its innovative top‑fan design, inspired by a real air fryer, this Panasonic Air Fryer Combi Oven is slimmer than a conventional combination oven that has the fan positioned at the back. And because it also replaces a separate air fryer, you save even more valuable worktop space for a cleaner, more open kitchen.

Big Capacity

Compact in size but with a big capacity of 27 litres – this Air Fryer Microwave has plenty of space. The wide 34cm turntable easily fits larger cookware, and the 31.6cm wide Air Fry Basket fits up to 800g of fries. This slim device also features an Oven Convection Bake function, with a temperature range of 30°C to 220°C for oven-like baking and roasting.

Even Reheating & Defrosting

Enjoy perfectly reheated dishes without overly hot or cold spots thanks to Panasonic’s Inverter technology. It precisely controls the Microwave power to deliver smart, even defrosting, reheating, cooking and melting. Defrost meat without any cooked edges. Melt chocolate to a smooth consistency. Warm up foods gently to preserve nutrients. The 1000W of high performance and 7 power levels are ready for any kind of food.

What’s the difference between Panasonic microwaves with Inverter technology and conventional microwaves?
Conventional microwaves repeatedly turn maximum power off and on in order to maintain a chosen power level. As a result, the food heats unevenly or is even overcooked. By contrast, Panasonic microwaves with Inverter technology maintain the chosen power level. This consistently precise control leads to optimal results.
