Panasonic NB G110P FlashXpress Infrared Removable Reviews Summary

Design & Aesthetics

Pros:

• "It looks a little like a '90s VCR with the varying button sizes and layout, but we got the black one, and it blends into the counter just fine without looking dated."
• "It’s got a unique design that is kind of futuristic and kind of retro."
• "The white color goes well in my kitchen."
• "This thing is big and ugly but it's all metal except for the control panel which I like."
• "It may look like a 1980's radio, but this thing just cooks."
• "The size is adorable and I love the feature that you don’t have to wait to preheat the toaster oven."
• "It's got a tiny footprint. It actually sits safely on top of my bubbler, so it robs me of zero zilch nada of my precious counter space."

Cons:

• "It doesn’t seem like it is built to last. I could be wrong but it feels flimsy."
• "It looks a little outdated, but who cares b/c this thing ROCKS!"
• "Who puts a cord in front on one side?"
• "The only thing I dislike is when I bake something in the oven, the light is keeps flashing."
• "It's a small footprint but just cheap."
• "The oven's cord is on the right side front of the unit and protrudes several inches."
• "AC cord comes out of the front right side. Very inconvenient."

Performance & Functionality

Pros:

• "The Panasonic toaster delivers and does the job. Heats things fast and efficiently."
• "The best feature is that it heats up quickly and does a great job evenly toasting bread, roasting vegetables, and baking."
• "It's powerful and precise enough to re-crisp fried chicken without drying it out."
• "It heats up food super quickly, and works great as both a mini oven and a toaster."
• "It's fast, cooks everything well, has just the right options and is better than the other ones I tried."
• "It toasts uniformly on both sides super fast."
• "It's easy to use and does a good job on toast, bagels, frozen waffles, and other things we have tried."

Cons:

• "However in late March 2024 it suddenly stopped toasting on both sides."
• "Less than 2 years later the bottom bulb/element has stopped GLOWING."
• "The toaster oven itself works okay, but I'm removing stars for the simple fact that the metal tray it comes with really, really sucks."
• "From the beginning it never cooked/toast evenly as you can see in picture."
• "Toast no longer toasts evenly, this is the second time this has happened to me with this model."
• "When I use the oven or reheat features, I have to repeat the process multiple times because it no longer seems to hold heat like it used to."
• "After about 18 months the infra red heaters stopped working."

Usability & Convenience

Pros:

• "This oven fits nicely into the small space we had available."
• "The instructions are easy to understand and the oven controls are very clear as to their functionality."
• "Easy to see options: no magnifying glass needed!"
• "Controls are easy to use."
• "The door opens very smoothly and the wire rack automatically extends out when the door is opened."
• "It's super easy to use, push the ON button, push the TOAST button."
• "The push button system is SIMPLE and INTUITIVE."

Cons:

• "You do need to be careful about ensuring nothing spills onto the heating element."
• "The only thing to be concerned about is that the unit gets HOT because of the all metal construction, and you could get burned."
• "The thermostat has presets instead of flexibility."
• "The user interface is a little odd but it all gets the job done."
• "First, setting the temperature and the time is like something from the stone ages."
• "Every bake application requires you to repeatedly press the time button to increase the length of time that it will stay on."
• "It's weird (and dangerous?) that the power button stays on after toasting and must be manually turned off."

Quality & Durability

Pros:

• "Our old one last we over 7 years, and the IR element burnt out."
• "Appliances that you take care of should last a long time."
• "We’re 3 years in to our second one and have replaced one bulb."
• "I have never had a problem with this toaster oven."
• "I think I bought it in 2005 and use it almost everyday."
• "I have had mine for more than 9 years and continue to use it daily."
• "This is my second one in about 15 years. That should say it all."

Cons:

• "It doesn’t seem like it is built to last. I could be wrong but it feels flimsy."
• "Panasonic sells replacements but cost of bulbs and shipping is $75 making it not very cost effective."
• "Our bottom element died after 1.5 years of use."
• "The bottom element on this toaster died at the two-year point."
• "It only lasted 13 months - one month past the manufacturer’s warranty."
• "It did a good job both as a toaster and as an oven while it still worked, but after one year and 8 months of daily use, the bottom heating element no longer heats up."
• "It only lasted 2 years and 5 months before the upper tube broke."

Cleaning & Maintenance

Pros:

• "It's easy to remove the crumb tray for a quick clean-up."
• "There's a crumb tray at the bottom and the rack comes out so you can clean it."
• "The unit is pretty easy to clean."
• "Easy to clean…a crumb tray slides out and the oven rack may be detached for cleaning."
• "It's fairly easy to clean (once your figure out that the toasting rack comes out)."
• "Way easier to clean than my previous toaster oven."
• "Cleaning tray is east to remove and shake out."

Cons:

• "The toaster oven itself works okay, but I'm removing stars for the simple fact that the metal tray it comes with really, really sucks."
• "The pan that came with the toaster oven is now discolored and there is metal residue coming off of it."
• "Tray is very thin and hard to clean."
• "The cooking tray that comes with this is total garbage."
• "The cooking tray started rusting after a few uses."
• "The crumb tray rusted and stained after less than a month of use."
• "I mean I want to make the Panasonic people eat veggies roasted on this damaged pan if they truly believe this is safe."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "It was definitely worth the money just from reducing the oven use alone."
• "Don't let all the negative reviews fool you! I was skeptical at first too but, despite all the negative reviews, other sites kept pointing to this oven as a top pick."
• "It is a bit more expensive than the typical toaster oven, but the build quality, performance, and push-button operation make it worth it."
• "This is the best toaster I've ever owned. Great for re-heats frozen pizza. Makes great toast too."
• "Best toaster oven made in my opinion!"
• "This is the best freaking toaster oven I have ever used. Buy this right this second. It will change your life."
• "This is the best toaster oven we have ever owned. It is easy to use, compact and we can bake, heat, reheat, heat from frozen."
