Disappointing
Although this microwave is so easy to keep clean with no turntable tray, we were so disappointed because it takes so much longer to cook things. For example, the time it takes to steam vegetables has doubled from our old microwave, making this cooking option no longer quick and easy.

Great microwave for everyday use
We’ve been using this Panasonic microwave in our new home and so far we’re very happy with it. The flatbed design is really convenient because there’s no turntable, so there is more usable space inside and it’s also much easier to clean. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the 27L size is just right for our everyday needs. I also like the stainless steel finish because it looks clean and modern in our kitchen. Simple to use, practical and works really well.

Really happy
I was a bit concerned with the buttons or lack of, however it has been an easy transition from my old microwave to this one, I am very happy with it so far, and no turntable is such a blessing for cleaning

Spacious and easy to use
This is my 2nd microwave of this exact model, was so happy they are still in production, it made purchasing a replacement very easy. First one lasted just over 7 years. Prefer the flatbed, very spacious and so easy to use.

It suits households that want more usable internal space, easy cleaning and straightforward touch controls.

Things to consider
It offers strong everyday microwave performance, but premium alternatives with grill or convection modes are more versatile for browning, baking or roasting.
Family suitability
High - 27 L capacity, child lock and flexible flatbed space suit regular family reheating and simple meal prep.
Student suitability
Good - easy controls and auto menus are beginner-friendly, though its wider body may be less ideal for very small kitchens.
Ease of cleaning score
9/10 - flatbed interior removes the turntable and roller ring, so the base is easier to wipe clean.
Counter space suitability
7/10 - a good fit for most standard kitchen benches, but the 52.9 cm width needs moderate counter room.
Noise level vs category average
About average - no low-noise claim is stated, so expect typical microwave operating sound for this category.
Key benefits
- 27 L Capacity: Fits standard dinner plates and larger dishes, making it well suited to everyday family reheating and side dishes.
- 1000 W Power Output: Delivers strong microwave performance for fast reheating and practical day-to-day cooking tasks.
- Flatbed Design: Removes the turntable so you can use the full base for rectangular containers and trays.
- Inverter Technology: Provides more precise power control for more consistent reheating, melting and defrosting.
- 17 Auto Menus: Gives quick access to preset cooking options for foods such as vegetables, fish, rice, pasta and desserts.
- Touch Controls with 4-Digit Icon Display: Makes operation simple and clear for busy daily use.
- Easy-Clean Interior Base: The flat cavity is easier to wipe down because there is no turntable plate or roller ring to remove.
- Child Lock: Adds extra peace of mind for households with young children.
Q: Will a standard dinner plate or rectangular dish fit inside?
A: Yes. The 27L flatbed cavity fits standard dinner plates and gives more usable base space for rectangular or oval dishes because there is no turntable taking room. Very large platters can still be limited by the cavity height and overall dish shape.
Q: Does the flatbed design heat evenly without a turntable?
A: Yes. Panasonic NN-SF57QSQPQ uses inverter power control, so it does not depend on a turntable alone for consistent reheating and defrosting. The flat base adds flexibility for dish shape, but dense meals may still need stirring or standing time.
Q: Is this microwave also a grill or convection oven?
A: No. Panasonic NN-SF57QSQPQ is a 1000W microwave with inverter cooking, defrosting and auto menu functions. It suits reheating, defrosting and simple microwave cooking, but it is not designed for baking, grilling, browning or crisp finishes.
Q: How much bench space does the Panasonic NN-SF57QSQPQ need?
A: Panasonic NN-SF57QSQPQ measures 529 mm wide, 422 mm deep and 326 mm high. That fits many kitchen benchtops, but it is not a compact microwave, so leave extra room around it for practical placement, door access and everyday airflow.
Q: Can you lock or unlock the controls for child safety?
A: Yes. Panasonic NN-SF57QSQPQ includes a child lock to help stop accidental operation from the control panel. It is useful in family kitchens, but it is a control lock only and does not physically lock the microwave door shut.
Q: Are touch controls harder to use than regular microwave buttons?
A: No. Panasonic NN-SF57QSQPQ uses touch controls with a 4 digit icon display for straightforward everyday operation. The flat front is also easier to wipe clean, though buyers used to raised buttons may need a short adjustment period.
