Panasonic NN-CD88QSBPQ 4-in-1 Air Fryer Combination Microwave review
Stainless steel
Editorial review Reviewed 9 August 2026 How we assess products
The Panasonic NN-CD88QSBPQ combines a 34-litre microwave, grill, convection oven and air fryer in one large appliance. It is best suited to households that will use its broad cooking range and generous capacity rather than a microwave alone. Sensor-guided cooking, one-touch reheating and a step-by-step display make everyday jobs easier once the controls are familiar, but its size, weight, online-only manual and higher price need careful consideration.

Strengths
- Microwave, grill, convection and air-fry modes provide four cooking methods in one appliance.
- The 34-litre capacity gives larger households useful room for family-sized dishes.
- A built-in sensor can calculate cooking time for supported programmes.
- The display guides users through the cooking process step by step.
- Independent cooking checks reported good results for baked potatoes, toast and reheated leftovers.
- One-touch reheating reduces the setup needed for common warming jobs.
- Weight settings in 10g increments support both smaller and larger portions.
Limitations
- At 56cm wide and 45cm deep, it needs a substantial and carefully measured worktop space.
- Its weight makes it less convenient to move than a simpler solo microwave.
- The 131-page manual is online-only and can be awkward to navigate on a phone.
- It costs more than a basic microwave, so its value depends on using the extra cooking modes.
