Review: The Home Chef 4 in 1 work Great! EASY to use. - I LOVE LOVE LOVE this 4 in 1 home chef oven. It fits nicely on my counter, the convection ,broil , air fry and microwave all work great. The sensor reheat is so easy. From refrigerator to microwave - hit sensor and the microwave figures the time. I’ve read reviews that it is complicated to use. It is NOT complicated! If you’re concerned, just watch a YouTube video and read the instructions before using. It’s actually quite intuitive. There are a number of quick settings you can use. One is popcorn. The microwave actually determine the size of the bag and determines the time needed. It comes out perfect with both the small and large bags. This home chef 4 in 1 is a space saver and has become my go to appliance. Well worth the money!
Review: High Learning Curve - Best Results! Restaurant Quality! - This is the best oven I've ever used. This is the best microwave I've ever used. It is a great air fryer and decent broiler. However, this 4 in 1 device does have an extremely high learning curve, which is why I think some people got frustrated and gave it lower ratings. Let's put it this way, after a while of experimentation and following the instructions extremely closely, we're able to perfectly roast a 5lb chicken in 1.5 hours crispy like KFC, bake pumpkin pie with cream brulee like crust, warm up nachos that stay crispy in a couple minutes, and BBQ skewers or cook bacon wrapped hot dogs in 30 minutes. The point is once you dial in your recipes, they are perfect each time! You can also program different microwave power and different time intervals like for warming up a bowl of soup where I warm up at 500 Watts for 5 minutes and 1000 Watts for 1 minute so that it doesn't just leave the edges hot with cold soup in the middle. There are a few downsides: There is a huge learning curve because the interface isn't very intuitive and it takes time to learn how to use each accessory for the food you usually cook, so it takes time reading the manual and experimenting with different recipes. It can be difficult to clean if you wait a long time between cleanings, but there are good instructions on how to steam clean and wipe down everything. The rack did start to change color over time, especially with bacon, but the manufacture was able to reimburse us for a replacement and now we just use foil on the rack to protect it. It is a slower broiler than a toaster oven because there is only 1 heating element at the top so things like toast and skewers only get toasted on one side, but doubling the broiling time and flipping the food solves this issue. Also, we did accidently have butter explode while trying to warm up butter, so now we just microwave on low 300 Watts for a couple minutes to melt perfectly. Despite these downsides, after the learning curve is over with, the food that comes out of this machine is perfect each time like restaurant style so it more than makes up for any inconvenience! The results are so good that I don't even use my full sized oven or dedicated microwave anymore unless there are times where I have to bake or microwave two things at once, but that is very rare. Stick with this machine and after a little experimentation, you won't be disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a built-in microwave, or does it sit on the countertop?**
A: This is a countertop combination oven that can also become a built-in by installing an optional trim kit (NN-TK81KCS, sold separately).

**Q: What is the purpose of Silent Mode?**
A: Fantastic for families with little kids, or anyone who would prefer not to hear a beep when the oven’s timer is done. To activate, press Start 3 times until you see BEEP ON then press Timer/Clock once to change to BEEP OFF. Press Stop/Reset to exit.

**Q: How much space must be left around the oven in order to ensure proper air flow?**
A: Allow 6 inches (15 cm) of space on the top of the oven, 4 inches (10 cm) at back and 2 inches (5 cm) on both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. Do not remove feet.

**Q: Can this product make toast?**
A: This product is not intended to be a toaster replacement. The Broil function can toast bread, but only on one side. It is best used to create perfectly browned meals and snacks, from pizzas, appetizers and flatbreads to casseroles and desserts.

**Q: Why does the microwave fan continue to run after the cooking cycle is complete?**
A: The oven has a built-in cooling cycle that helps to protect the interior components and insure long-term durability. Depending on cook time and mode, you may hear the fan up to 6 minutes after cooking is complete to fully cool the oven's interior.

### ⭐ Nice microwave but has a major design flaw for Panasonic NN-CD87KS Home Chef 4-in-1 Microwave Oven
*by L***C on August 26, 2020*

I have had this unit for 1-1/2 months (purchased July 10, 2020) and this is a very nice microwave unit from Panasonic. This replaced my 38+ year old Panasonic microwave that died almost 2 months ago. I did a lot of research and decided to purchase this unit that would allow me to additionally air fry and convection cook. I would have given this product 5 stars, but I have encountered a major design flaw. Now, it is too late to return. This model, Panasonic NN-CD87KS Home Chef 4-in-1 Microwave Oven, use a humidity sensor to detect steam from the food to determine if the food item is cooked. That should be wonderful, but it is not because this model has a major design flaw that can be turned on immediately from an accidental bump to the START button without setting any cook parameters (time, power level, or food type). By pressing the START button, it will power on and start if there is no food or liquid to heat, and it would display SENSOR mode cooking. I have accidentally turned on my new microwave several times by accidentally bumping the START button, and I would immediately press STOP/RESET to abort the accidental heating of an empty microwave. Long term microwaving an empty unit would damage the magnetron of the microwave oven. In the last couple of weeks, I have made it a habit to place a cup of water in the microwave after using it. If I accidentally bumped it, it would heat the water to produce the necessary steam to allow the humidity sensor to turn the microwave off. Note that the water in a ceramic mug was boiling for over 30 seconds before the sensor would shut the microwave off. This microwave would not be safe with young children, or even teens and adults walking pass the unit where the START button could be easily depressed with backpacks, sports equipment bag, etc in a narrow kitchen. If you have pets, such as a dog who is capable of pawing up to the kitchen counter, or able to poke their nose up to dinner plates on the food counter when you are not looking, these pets could accidentally turn this microwave model on. I wonder how many other microwave models has this design flaw of one touch to turn on. My apologies for hurried, unprofessional video. In addition, the labels for each control button is too small to see. This review was sincerely submitted.
