Handy feature
I like that the product heats from the top and bottom. It doesn’t have the turntable which doesn’t heat evenly

Flatbed microwave
Very easy to use and cleaning is a breeze. More useable space without the turntable but things do take a little longer to cook and/or defrost.

Lots of features
Love this microwave, no turntable makes the microwave so easy to keep clean by simply wiping down the interior. The touch pad is easy to use, the pre-program features make defrosting, reheating and cooking a dream.

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.

At a glance
This 27 L Panasonic flatbed microwave is a practical family-friendly option for reheating leftovers, defrosting ingredients and cooking simple meals. It suits households that want more usable internal space, easy cleaning and straightforward touch controls. Key strengths are the turntable-free flatbed design, inverter power control and 17 auto menus. One limitation is that it is a benchtop microwave only, without grill or convection functions.

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.
