At a glance
The Panasonic 20L 800W Compact Microwave is a straightforward benchtop option for small households, students or office kitchens that need reliable everyday heating, reheating and defrosting. Its compact footprint, 8 auto menus and simple controls make it easy to use. The main trade-off is its smaller 20 L capacity, which is less suited to larger plates or higher-volume family cooking than bigger premium models.

Things to consider
Its 20 L capacity and compact 255 mm turntable are practical for everyday meals, but they offer less room and flexibility than larger premium microwaves designed for bigger dishes or family-sized cooking.
Family suitability
Best for singles or couples; workable for light family use but not ideal as the main microwave for larger households
Student suitability
9/10 - compact, simple to use and well suited to reheating meals, frozen foods and basic day-to-day cooking
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - compact interior and turntable are manageable to wipe down, though it lacks premium cleaning features
Counter space suitability
9/10 - compact benchtop design is a strong fit for kitchens with limited space
Noise level vs category average
About average for a compact microwave; no specific low-noise feature is indicated
Key benefits
- 20 L Capacity: compact size suits smaller kitchens, apartments and office benchtops without dominating the counter.
- 800 W Power: provides solid everyday microwave performance for reheating meals, warming drinks and cooking simple dishes.
- 8 Auto Menus: gives quick preset options for common foods, reducing guesswork for routine cooking and reheating.
- 5 Adjustable Power Levels: lets you better match heat intensity to tasks like softening, reheating or gentler cooking.
- Quick and Auto Defrost by Weight: helps thaw frozen food more conveniently by adjusting time and power to the entered weight.
- Quick 30 Function: adds 30-second bursts for fast top-ups when you need short heating without setting a full program.
- White LED Display: offers clear visibility for timer and program settings in everyday kitchen use.
- Membrane Control Panel: keeps operation simple and approachable for users who want straightforward controls.
Q: Can this microwave fit a standard dinner plate or large bowl?
A: Yes. The 255mm turntable suits most standard dinner plates and everyday bowls. Very large platters or wide square containers can be a tight fit, so this model is better for single serves, leftovers and smaller microwave-safe dishes.
Q: Is 800W enough for quick reheating and frozen meals?
A: Yes. Panasonic NN-ST23QMQPQ has 800W output, which suits everyday reheating, drinks, frozen meals and routine defrosting. Dense foods and larger portions can take longer than in more powerful microwaves, so stirring or extra time may still be needed.
Q: Does the Panasonic NN-ST23QMQPQ have grill or convection cooking?
A: No. Panasonic NN-ST23QMQPQ is a standard microwave for reheating, defrosting and simple auto-menu cooking. It is not designed for browning, crisping or oven-style baking, so it will not replace a grill or convection model.
Q: Will the compact size suit a small apartment or office bench?
A: Yes. Panasonic NN-ST23QMQPQ is 440mm wide, so it suits many apartment kitchens, studios and office benches where space is limited. The trade-off is a compact cavity that is better for everyday meals than bulky cookware or large shared dishes.
Q: How does the defrost setting work on this Panasonic microwave?
A: The defrost function uses food weight to set the heating time and power more automatically. It is handy for smaller portions and routine thawing, but thicker or unevenly shaped items may still need turning or a short standing time.
Q: Are the auto menus useful or mostly preset shortcuts?
A: The 8 auto menus are preset shortcuts for common foods and everyday heating tasks, so they can save button presses for routine use. They are still broad presets, which means portion size and container choice can affect the final result.
