Starts off fantastic but...
Once you figure out what it can do, it's great. Unfortunately Panasonic failed to really have videos or a recipe book that helps so most is trial and error. It was not cheap, that's a given, but I didn't mind so much given the features. But it's still under warranty, about 18 months old, and for awhile now the oven is cooking unevenly. I don't use the steam function that often, but noticed that is not working at all. I then noticed that, and probably because of the steam function, it is not cleaning either. Nothing drains. Fingers crossed I can get it fixed or replaced, either by Panasonic (they don't have a great warranty record) or The Good Guys.

You don't need a microwave ,grill,convection oven and a steamer witn this awsome machine .I don't use my old oven anymore ,it's so good.
The best feature is the steam oven function because it taste so good, it's fast and healthy cooking .Then if you want to grill ,convection oven or microwave it's ready when you are.It's a no brainer for this 4 in one cooking machine , versitility and convenice .It makes cooking healthy food fun !

I wouldn't buy it again
It cooks unevenly, promised the world yet the recipe book that came with it just doesn't cover what I thought it would do. Maybe with some more online tutorials, it would be easier to use the functions, but for so much money I could have bought something more useful!

At a glance
This 31 L Panasonic 4-in-1 convection microwave suits households wanting one benchtop appliance for reheating, steaming, baking and grilling. Its flatbed cavity, inverter power and sensor cooking add everyday versatility, while the second-level tray support helps with batch cooking. A fair limitation is that it takes more bench space and setup attention than a simpler solo microwave.

- Family Kitchen
- Apartment Kitchen

Things to consider
Compared with a basic microwave, this model is more complex to learn and its 31 L multi-function design is less suited to buyers who only want simple reheating.
Family suitability
High - 31 L capacity, multi-function cooking and second-level tray support suit varied household meal routines
Student suitability
Moderate - versatile for many meal types, but better suited to users willing to learn more functions than a basic microwave
Ease of cleaning score
8/10 - flatbed interior avoids turntable parts, though steam components and multi-level accessories add a little extra cleanup
Counter space suitability
5/10 - the 31 L multi-function design is practical but better for medium to larger benchtops than tight kitchens
Noise level vs category average
About average - typical for a convection microwave with grilling and fan-assisted cooking functions
Key benefits
- 4-in-1 cooking: Heats, steams, bakes and grills in one benchtop appliance, reducing the need for separate countertop cookers.
- 31 L cavity: Offers useful room for everyday family meals, larger dishes and more flexible cooking options than compact microwaves.
- Flatbed design: Creates a more usable interior floor area and makes it easier to fit different dish shapes without a turntable.
- Rail-lined cavity: Lets you position a second tray or wire rack, helping you cook multiple items at the same time.
- 800 mL refillable water tank: Enables steam cooking without plumbing, making healthy cooking more practical in a standard kitchen setup.
- Inverter technology: Delivers more consistent power for even cooking and reheating.
- Genius Sensor: Automatically adjusts time and power based on the food's condition for easier day-to-day cooking.
- 30 to 230 °C temperature range: Supports gentle proofing through to high-temperature baking and roasting-style cooking.
Q: Can this replace a separate microwave, steamer and small oven?
A: Yes, for many everyday jobs. Panasonic NN-CS89LBQPQ can reheat, steam, bake and grill in one benchtop unit, but its 31L cavity and microwave-combo format are still better suited to daily meals than large oven-style baking or roasting.
Q: Does the steam function need a plumbed water connection?
A: No. Panasonic NN-CS89LBQPQ uses a refillable 800ml water tank, so steam cooking works without plumbing. That makes placement more flexible on the bench, but the tank still needs topping up when you use steam modes regularly.
Q: How useful is the flatbed design for larger dishes?
A: The flatbed base gives a more open cavity floor because there is no turntable taking up space. That makes dish placement simpler for wider cookware and family plates, but the overall cooking space is still limited by the 31L cavity.
Q: Can you cook two dishes at once in this microwave?
A: Yes, the rail-lined cavity lets you position a second tray or wire rack for multi-level cooking. It is most useful for smaller dishes or split meal prep, rather than trying to fit two large oven dishes in the one 31L benchtop cavity.
Q: What are the downsides of this 4-in-1 microwave oven?
A: The main trade-off is complexity and size. Panasonic NN-CS89LBQPQ offers more cooking options than a basic microwave, but it takes more bench space and can be more than some buyers need if they mainly want fast reheating and simple defrosting.
Q: Can microwave and convection cooking be used together here?
A: Yes. Panasonic NN-CS89LBQPQ has 10 combination modes that use multiple functions together, which can help with browning and cooking speed in one program. It is more versatile than microwave-only cooking, but it also takes more setup than a single mode.
