The NN-G315WF is designed for versatility and efficiency. With a capacity of 23 liters, it is ideal for small to medium-sized households.

The NN-G315WF includes a variety of preset cooking modes, making it easy to prepare a wide range of dishes, from steaming vegetables to reheating leftovers.

The NN-G335BF and NN-G335WF share many similarities, but they differ in design aesthetics. Both models boast a 25-liter capacity and state-of-the-art Inverter Technology.

The fusion of microwave cooking and grilling ensures that food is not only cooked quickly but also develops that desirable grilled flavor. Like the other models, it utilizes Inverter Technology, ensuring even cooking throughout the dish.

All four models include safety features such as child locks and easy-to-clean interiors for hassle-free maintenance. Their compact designs make them an ideal choice for kitchens with limited space while providing ample functionality.

In summary, whether you choose the NN-G315WF for its compactness, the stylish NN-G335BF or NN-G335WF, or the versatile NN-G335MF for grilling, you can be assured of quality performance backed by Panasonic's innovative technology. These microwave ovens are perfect for anyone looking to enhance their cooking capabilities with modern convenience and style.
