The Panasonic NE-1025F is a commercial microwave oven, built with resilience and longevity in mind. It’s compact enough to fit into all room types, measuring 16.56” x 20.13” x 12”. The NE-1025F is a mid-weight microwave, weighing in at 34lbs so it’s light enough that it can move to different places depending on where is best. This is also a mid-priced microwave, costing between $270 and $300. More expensive than other functional brands but still one of the more affordable microwaves, the NE-1025F delivers in its purpose of heating food in a simple yet efficient way.

Appearance isn’t everything, especially when it comes to microwaves. Panasonic has designed the NE-1025F with simplicity and functionality in mind. This microwave comes in a stainless-steel finish that is exceptionally sleek even if it is simple. The overall look of the NE-1025F is very modest in its design, meaning it will fit in with any kitchen/break room/house/office and will not look out of place. The neutral color of the NE-1025F means it’s ideal for commercial use as well, acting as an additional simple piece of equipment. If you want a microwave to become a stand-out feature of a room, perhaps the NE-1025F isn’t going to live up to the job. It’s far better suited to be utilized as a functional piece of cooking equipment that can fit onto various countertops and doesn’t get in the way. Simple, but effective.

As with the design of the Panasonic NE-1025F, the cooking performance of this microwave is also simplistic but does what you need. Unlike with more expensive models of microwaves, the NE-1025F only comes with one power level, but don’t let that put you off. This microwave has a wattage of 1000 watts, so it’s perfectly capable of heating food quickly and conveniently.

In addition to the one level of power, Panasonic has also designed the NE-1025F to cook food for a maximum time of six minutes. This makes it one of the safer models out there, so you don’t run the risk of massively overcooking food, but it means you also don’t have to worry about the hundreds of different options to choose from when heating food. This microwave heats from the bottom, so your food is evenly cooked through, without having to read through all the technological jargon. Customer feedback has credited the cooking performance of the Panasonic NE-1025F, stating how this microwave cooks the food in quick time.

Although some people might desire a microwave to come with all the mod-cons and lots of fancy buttons to select different cooking modes, that’s not what the NE-1025F is about. It’s made with simplicity to cook food to the same quality as more expensive and tech-savvy microwaves, minus all the button pressing and different options to choose from. Panasonic is one of the top brands with a lot of technical expertise behind them, so it’s fair to say the cooking performance of this microwave is reliable, despite the lack of buttons and cooking modes available.

One of the highlights of the Panasonic NE-1025F is how unbelievably easy it is to use. This microwave comes with a one-timer dial on it, so this is the only way to control the cooking time. There are no other buttons you must press to get it to work, and many customers have mentioned how they have found this microwave suitable for their elderly relatives who struggle with the technological features of other microwave models. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use microwave where you turn the dial and go, the NE-1025F is for you. This comes in handy when you have extra mouths to feed or just other stuff to get on with, as whatever the item of food, this microwave will cook it for you with ease. Although it lacks the various options of defrosting and specific cooking times for certain foods, the Panasonic NE-1025F still functions as a typical microwave and is a handy appliance to have.

As well as this, the NE-1025F is also very easy to clean, thanks to having no turntable and its sleek design. While the lack of turntable could put customers off, most feedback has been that not having one adds to the ease of use and easy-cleaning of this microwave. Panasonic has designed this microwave to heat from the bottom up, so it does this much more efficiently without a turntable. 

Although simple, the Panasonic NE-1025F still comes with features that are beneficial and very useful. The door of this microwave comes with a secure handle which makes it easy to open and close without the microwave sliding around all over the place. As well as this, the NE-1025F has a see-through door and an internal light so the food can be seen while cooking. This microwave from Panasonic also comes with just one turn dial with a timer of up to six minutes, with a list of suggested timings for specific foods underneath. In the world of microwaves, the simplicity may not suit everyone’s needs, but the single dial is a nifty feature and reflects how easy the Panasonic NE-1025F is to use.
