From the manufacturer

Fresh Food Steamed Fast

The Panasonic NN-DS596B injects steam directly into the top of the oven from its highly efficient boiler. By cooking with steam food retains more nutrients and natural flavours for a quicker, healthier and more delicious meal.

Quicker, Healthier and Tastier

Intelligent combination cooking offers faster great results. Combine microwave, grill, oven and steam to suit your cooking needs.

For example, combine the power of the upper heater and the microwave-heated Panacrunch pan (included accessory) to cook food quickly and evenly, from top to bottom without the need to rotate midway through. During cooking, excess fat is drained off by the pan's grooves to maintain a crispy outside and a juicy inside.

Auto Cooking

Auto Cooking is the easiest way to get your cooking started. Simply select Auto from the menu, set the weight of the food and press start. That's all it takes, as the NN-DS596B automatically adjusts the power level and cooking time to suit.

Inverter Technology

Thanks to precise power control, your food is cooed gently, evenly and more efficiently than microwaves without Inverter technology.

Turbo Charged Defrosting

The Inverter technology doesn't just cook food, it also powers the Turbo Defrost function to thaw your frozen food completely in no time at all.

A Flatbed for Extra Space

The Panasonic NN-DS596B replaces the conventional turntable with a much simpler flatbed, offering 29% extra cooking space inside.

Shocked and surprised but need help from supplier

I thought this was the best oven I could buy, it took me a while to use it as the instructions are very detailed.
I have been using the oven for about two month, yet tonight while using the microwave the flat bed has cracked and not just a little it has shattered, I only had a ready meal in there for 8 mins. I’m surprised and shocked. As I really like this... I will let you know the response from the suppliers and how soon it gets replaced or repaired.

You need to read the instructions to get the best results from it. The steamer works well and no mess after. Just drain and wash the tray and place back in its place. Takes a little longer if you include potatoes to your veg around 23 24 minutes. Jacket potatoes are great every time and the drop down door is very useful. The microwave power settings seem to take longer than a conventional microwave but Im getting used to it now!

a v. competitively priced alternative that fits space in kitchen. I like the drop down door, the flat plate, no turntable, so can place my oval dishes in easily. Can see what’s cooking as there is a light. The panacrunch really does crisp up pastry, tip put some grease proof over top or can get a little dark, quicker than the grill on my Falcon range for grilling.Profiteroles rose beautifully using steam.
Really pleased, gave it 4 stars for use only because there are so many variations need to keep manual to hand.

Excellent oven

When I bought this oven I thought I wouldn't use all its features. I was wrong as they are all useful. We recently move houses and had to rely on this as our very only oven available until we sort out the kitchen, and it's been a Godsend. It can do everything you need, to superb quality. I made sure I came back to leave this review after over a year owning the oven.

It's good, with a few annoyances and features not as described.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2016

Verified Purchase

Bought this July 2016 to replace a small Daewoo microwave that died after 4 years, and to use in the summer so we can turn off the Aga that turns the kitchen into a sauna in the warmer months. It does that job well, apart from not having a hob, but it doesn't claim to so I can't fault it for that! It's a powerful microwave, so reheats things rather quickly. The oven works well although takes a little while to preheat. The grill works well but can sometimes overdo things on the automatic settings, so we found that we got better results choosing times manually. And the steamer is brilliant, cooking fish or chicken pieces and kebabs while still keeping them moist, which is difficult to do in any conventional oven (which needs foil to achieve), it's just not a quick way of cooking and you need to keep an eye on the water level as it's a small tank and will need refilling during cooking. However, it's on combination settings that this thing really proves its worth, for example I tried a pizza and it did a perfect job, better than the Aga. And the "Panacrunch" settings are great, which primarily cooks with the grill but also heats the Panacrunch tray with low power microwaves, thus grilling from underneath. I was a bit sceptical, but it works. The auto settings tell you on the display whether to use the upper or lower tray slot.
Another great feature is that there's no turntable. Again I was sceptical because I've used microwaves in the past that don't have them, and they all cooked or re-heated things unevenly but this Panasonic is very even indeed, quite a surprise. As things don't spin round in the oven it means you can fit larger things inside than you would otherwise.
So, the minor annoyances that lose it a star. Firstly, the timer beeper is stupidly quiet. If you're in the same room but have kids or the dishwasher is on (even a quiet one), you won't hear it beep. If you're in the next room, you won't hear it beep, even with perfect hearing. So you end up having to set a kitchen timer or a phone timer to tell you when the time is up. Or you can listen out for the fan stopping, but that continues for a few minutes after the cooking has finished so it's not accurate. Compare that to my Miele washing machine, which I can hear at the opposite end of the house when it beeps! Secondly, it looks like it has a piece missing: looking at the sides, there is the drip tray on the left and the water tank on the right, but behind them is nothing, just a space created by the ground clearance of this oven on its feet. So it looks like there's some trim missing, but there isn't. It's just odd. Finally, although the lack of turntable is great for having more space when microwaving, the instructions say NOT to place items for conventional cooking directly on the oven floor, you MUST use the provided Panacrunch tray on either the lower or upper tray position. You can place a dish on top of the tray, but it may not sit flat and of course you lose much in height when using the tray runners. So a tagine, for example, just wouldn't work if you follow the instructions (which we do). So it won't feed a large family with, for example, a roast dinner but I could imagine that a single person or a couple could probably get by with just this oven on its own. Although a separate hob would be handy as well.
The internal light isn't very bright so it can be somewhat difficult to see how the cooking is progressing.
Finally, again a very minor point but the instruction book's cooking times are initially baffling in the way that they are organised into sections, until you get used to it. It tells you how best to cook various different foods, i.e. on which setting and for how long and on which 'shelf' runners which is great, although it does seem to be missing some obvious foods.
So not perfect, but pretty close. I just wish they'd turn up the beeper volume!

UPDATE: having had it just over a year now, I have downgraded it to 3 stars because one feature advertised on the Amazon page doesn't exist, and one is misleading.
1. Panasonic claims (in "From the Manufacturer section) that without a turntable, it has 29% more cooking space and the nice photo shows a cooking pot on the floor of the oven. Well yes, but only on microwave cooking, because what you find out after purchase is that cookware must not be placed on the floor of the oven during conventional or combination cooking, as the shelf must be used, which much reduces the available height. And the photo? It seems to show an impossible use case, with a non-microwaveable pot being used on the floor of the oven. Which isn't allowed.
2. The Amazon description says that "The built-in sensor means that there is no need to weigh the food". This isn't true. There isn't a sensor on this model. There is on the Chinese market version (it's mentioned in the manual, which you can find online), but not for the UK market. The word "sensor" doesn't exist in the UK manual. There is an auto cook feature, but you MUST enter the weight. This is even confirmed on this same page under the "from the manufacturer" section, which says "Auto Cooking is the easiest way to get your cooking started. Simply select Auto from the menu, set the weight of the food and press start". Yeah - enter the weight. The cooking time is calculated, it's not based on the sensor picking up steam or IR radiation.

This is a little annoying, because I did partly base the decision to buy this model on these features.
