Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven Countertop, 4-Slice Compact Size with Double Infrared Heating, 6 Auto Cook Options and Precise Temperature Control, 1300W - NB-G110P-K (Black)

I have an Elite long slot pop-up toaster and a Gourmia 8 qt basket style air fryer. Those two have worked well and I've been happy with this setup. Still, I've always intrigued by the idea of a small super fast toaster oven. Counter space being limited I put the Elite pop-up toaster (crazy toaster, bread flies out of it) on the kitchen counter and my Gourmia air fryer in a back room. Both are always at the ready. Then I saw this deal and everyone raved so much I figured why not join the cult? I could get rid of the pop-up toaster and possibly the air fryer. Not so fast! Toasting: First impressions of the Panasonic, not overly impressed. The controls are a little wonky, but everyone knows this. It toasts more evenly than my pop-up toaster, but not incredibly so. Interestingly, my popup toaster is just as fast as the FlashExpress and easier to operate. There's no real toasting speed advantage (both take about 2 1/2 minutes) with the Panasonic over a regular pop-up toaster, it just makes better toast. Space: I thought the FlashExpress would fit on my counter, but you need 4 inches clearance at the back, whereas the pop-up toaster is a cool touch and sits neatly up against the wall. Sure the FlashExpress is small for a toaster oven, but the pop-up toaster takes up much less space. I ended up putting the Flash in the back room next to my air fryer and countertop pizza oven. Reheating: The Gourmia 8 qt air fryer is a better toaster oven for reheating certain items. It's just as fast if not faster and cooks more evenly and thoroughly. It's also more flexible as you can put just about anything in it and cleanup is a breeze. For anything saucy/messy I use foil pans/sheets. (Pro tip: Buy some of those grill mats and cut them to the size you need, instant durable non-stick mat for your toaster oven or air fryer). 9 inch foil pans and foil sheets fit in both. Cleaning the Panasonic could be difficult and you have to watch those infrared rods (cheese or other dripping items). For leftover pizza, cold or frozen, I use the air fryer. I put the slice on a foil sheet and hit start. It goes into pre-heat, but that's my cooking/re-heat cycle. When the sound goes off to add food the pizza is done and frequently over-done. I did the same with the Panasonic and selected 5 minutes. It was done in about 4 1/2 minutes. The air fryer was done in about the same, but I preferred the flavor and taste of the air fryer reheated slice. That said re-heating food is very good and easy in the Flash/Express. Cooking Time: It's fast for toast, but what about frozen items? You can do a small 9 inch frozen pizza in the Panasonic in 12 - 14 minutes. I have a Wisco pizza oven that cooks up to a 14 inch pizza in 14 minutes. Again, Panasonic's speed claims are based on comparisons to "toaster ovens". In my early tests the FlashExpress is not much faster than a pop-up toaster or an air fryer, but I still like it. Warnings: There are many standard typical warnings, but here's two that caught my eye The FlashExpress Owners Manual instructs not to "bake bread with butter or jam. There is a chance the bread will catch fire". It's an odd warning that your bread might catch on fire. How about this? "After use: Turn off the unit by pressing the power button, The lamp goes out. Remove the power plug." Are you kidding? Every time you use it??? That's just not happening. I'm not going to do that and I imagine most people don't either. It's probably a liability issue or maybe somebody's oven caught fire just plugged in EEK! What I like: I do like that the toasting rack comes out when you open the door. It operates slickly and your food is easy to grab. Also, it does a really nice job toasting Mestemacher Vollkornbrot too. It's that weird, flat, dense, super healthy German bread that is IMO only good toasted. Pop-up toasters are not very good for this type of bread because it can fall apart or get stuck in the toaster. With the FlashExpress you can carefully top your flat bread with whatever you like and toast for about 4 - 5 minutes. It's outstanding for that. Also, the bright lights allow you to see your food so well it's the perfect "melt" machine, you can get that tuna melt just right. Add cheese a half minute before being done toasting and it will melt to perfection. Reheating items is excellent too because this toaster oven gives you such a good view of what you're cooking that you can stop it before overcooking. What I don't like: It's missing one feature. This toaster would be perfect if it had a broil or "bagel" function. Sometimes you want to toast only one side of bread or just melt with the top element. Sadly, you can't do it as there's no ability to cook with only the top element. You could use the pan to block the lower elements but it would be better if it had the controls to just shut it off. The lights are super bright and it is odd when they cycle and turn on and off over and over. When using the presets for toasting they stay on, but if you to a timed "bake" selecting temperature and time they cycle on and off. It's like there's a scientific experiment being performed. The manufacturer warns not to stare at the light rods, they say it's bad for the eyes. I'll defer to them on this one. In summary, it generally does what they say it does, and it has a very good track record. If you're in the market for a small speedy toaster oven this is it (or the Breville Mini). I caught this deal and paid $84. I wouldn't pay the $119 price. The FlashExpress is not replacement for an air fryer but some people don't need an air fryer. I've been testing all kinds of food in it and I'm definitely keeping it. It's interesting and a lot different than any other toaster oven I've used. It's actually fun to use, something I would have never thought I'd say about a small appliance.

I had the "old model" of this oven for around 5-years or so. I broke one of the infrared bulbs (while cleaning it) last week. Fortunately I found out that they have started to make this oven again. They had stopped (or at least stopped importing them) when I checked a couple of years ago for a friend of mine who wanted one. But this "new model" is exactly the same as my "old" one except the name on a couple of buttons has changed, and also it's now silver instead of white. Frist, let me just say what this toaster oven is NOT. . .It is NOT a replacement for a "traditional" oven. If you're looking for something of that sort, then I highly recommend you check out one of the Breville or Black & Decker models. This Panasonic toaster oven will NOT cook a chicken. . or bake an 8" pie.. . or bake a cake. But what it does. . .it does VERY well. This oven works by infrared light. You can Google to find out exactly how this works, if you want the specifics. Because of this, there is no pre-heating required. The lights will turn on-and-off while the oven is in operation. This can be a little "confusing" when you start to use it, but you'll get used to it. This oven works WONDERFULLY for the following items: * Toast - using whatever bread you like. . . however thick you like * Toasting bagels or English muffins * Heating pastries or croissants * Baking biscuits (Pillsbury frozen buttermilk biscuits are my favorite) * Heating frozen appetizers such as breaded cheese sticks, chicken fingers, etc. * Pizza - reheating or baking. Either a small whole pizza or a slice of a large pizza * Frozen garlic bread * Cookies Though the guide says that you can bake cakes and pies in it. . . I've tried, and it didn't work for me. If you're baking small tarts which are perhaps a half-inch thick. . .or a cake where it's no more than ½ inch thick.. .then perhaps you could get it to work. . but again. . . this is not like a "traditional" oven, so I think if you're going to bake such things, then you would be much better off using a "traditional" oven. It's wonderful that there is no pre-heating. I put frozen biscuits in, and 20-minutes later they are just perfect. The oven has some preset buttons on the front where you can also choose from "light" (shorter cooking time) to "dark" (longer cooking time). . . or. . . you can choose the temperature and length of cooking you would like, up to 25-minutes. The pan that comes with the oven is 9-inches square. This is certainly the maximum size for the oven. You will learn by trial-and-error what works best with this oven. But after having one for around 5-years, I can HIGHLY recommend it. I have never seen a toaster oven which works like this. . .which has pre-set buttons. . .which doesn't require pre-heating. . . . and does such a fantastic job. It's hard to believe that I get so excited about such an item. . .but this is one of those rare occasions where something just works well. . . REALLY REALLY well. P.S. If you are not using the preset buttons, this toaster oven has a timer up to 25-minutes. If you press the "up" arrow to increase the time, it goes in 30-second intervals up to ten-minutes, and then it goes by 1-min intervals. If you want to bake something on the "higher-end" of the timer, then use the "down arrow" to start with and it will go from 25-minutes backwards.

The Panasonic NB-G100P Flash Express Infared Toaster is the most exciting creation for the kitchen since the microwave oven or the Drip Coffee Maker! I cannot express how much I LOVE this toaster! Who would think that actually making toast or warming a Pop Tart could bring so much excitement? I had heard about these types of toaster ovens many years ago, but never gave it much thought as I had never seen one. Well, a few months ago my old toaster oven finally died and went to toaster oven Heaven, so I decided to look on Amazon for my options. As a "guy" I do not spend much time in department stores looking at kitchen appliances so I figured I would just order something really quick on Amazon to meet my "toasting" needs. During my searching process I was astounded at how many kinds, types, colors and sizes were actually out there for the weary consumer trying to make what one would think was a quick and simple purchase. I knew I was limited by the size as I have a small area on my counter top for it to reside. Everything looked so BIG and had just about every "bell and whistle" immagineable to attract my attention. "Come on, I just want to make toast dammit", I thought! Well, finally I ran across the Panasonic Flash Express! The price of the unit caught my attention first as it seemed somewhat more expensive as compared to the competition, but who knows, perhaps this one made popcorn too? To satsify my curiousity I clicked on the lisitng and am glad I did! In reading the item description I realized I was looking at what I had heard about before a long time ago .... a Flash Express toaster oven that cooks with Infared light, not a standard element! I did not care how much it cost as this time around I was going to get one ~ and am so happy I did! It makes toast to perfection with just a click of a button. The toast is evenly cooked everytime in a fraction of the time! The buttons are easy to understand and heating time is cut in half on whatever you decide to put in this wonderful unit! Although it does look somewhat "commercial" in nature with it's boxy-like appearance, it is not ugly by any means as a kitchen appliance. But who knows what a guy's opinion means to the "perfectionist" woman who has to make everything match and "flow" in her kitchen? Regardless, I know whoever purchases this unit will NOT be unhappy with their decision! Sure, the price-tag may seem high to some of you out there, but, isn't it time you spoiled yourself on something new and fun in this age of technology that you can actually understand? It is EASY to use and FUN to use! I love mine and am certain you will too! Perhaps Panasonic will come out with a white model someday which would be nice, but in the meantime, who gives a darn about the color? Silver fits perfectly in any decor ~ in my opinion! This unit is FANTASTIC! I cannot think of any cons at this point. I have been using mine now for about 3 weeks with no problems. I will update in a couple months as well to let everyone know how it is going for me! Happy toasting!

This review is just a quick account of my very positive experience with the Panasonic NB-G110P Flash Xpress Toaster Oven. The 4 stars is not 5 just because I don't want the manufacturer to be demotivated. Though we've been married 30 years and the kids are grown and gone, my wife and I bought our first ever toaster oven last Christmas. As is my habit I researched options fairly extensively before purchasing. Our needs were well defined so it was a matter of finding a clear match for those needs in the form of a good quality, highly-regarded and reasonably priced unit. Our list of desired features in a toaster oven was pretty short: Tray pulls out when the door opens Inside light Timer with automatic shut off Easy to clean, Teflon? Fast pre-heat $100 to $150 tops My primary goal was to reduce our dependence on the microwave for re-heating food, with a secondary goal of making toast and heating rolls and bagels, etc. Though initially tempted by larger, "countertop ovens" I realized that because our kitchen oven is a double, such a thing would be redundant. Happily this knocked a pretty large product segment out of contention, which was good because among such appliances I was having a difficult time finding a unit that had an encouraging ratio of good to bad reviews. Not to mention the size---I browsed a few at Walmart and was appalled at the size and weight of these things! I also changed my mind on the Teflon/easy clean feature, as the unit would be used primarily by two fairly responsible adults who are getting increasingly fastidious in their advancing years. To make a long story short, once I settled on the short list of units that fit our requirements I started perusing the reviews and found that this little Panasonic is one of the only toaster ovens that has a kind of fan base. Owners seemed to really have an affection for their little kitchen helper. So I bought one. My first impression was good. It's small and lightweight. It's not a dazzling great looker, but neither is it ugly. It has a sensible balance between task specific buttons and programmable settings. It has an easy to read digital display and a user interface that is simple and intuitive. It makes excellent toast, crisp on the outside, soft and warm on in the inside. And it really does pre-heat quickly. In short this little guy does exactly what it claims to do and it does it well. If I had to sum up this machine in one word, that word would be "sensible". And lo and behold we are starting to develop an affection for it. We have the habit of giving some of our machines pet names---our cars, my motorcycles. We're starting to think this little guy may get a name too!

Amazing toaster oven! I've had it for more than a year now and I'm delighted every time I use it. Great for ordinary toasting and faster than other toaster ovens I've used. Toasts very uniformly. The very bright light provided by one of the heating elements (different than the standard infrared elements) makes it easy to gauge how well done the item is. Much brighter than other toaster ovens I've used. It is great for cooking other foods that would normally go in the oven. I was skeptical of the advertising claim that preheating was not necessary, but it's really true. So far no food I've cooked in this oven has proved to be a disappointment. Another thing I like is that the digital control setting for time and temperature provide great repeatability compared to the analog dials and mechanical timers present on many ovens. Once you determine the settings for a particular food product, it comes out the same every time. This oven is worth every bit of the cost. And it looks great!

Our 2014 FlashXpress Compact had a LOT of use, every day, and it still worked but was not heating quite as well on the bottom and the button labels were wearing off. So we thought we should "upgrade" to the latest thing, an air fryer. We purchased -- and returned -- two different brand air fryers because they did a lousy job on toast and pizza and reheating leftovers. We went back to the trusty Panasonic FlashXpress NB-G110P. It's perfect for small spaces and does a great job on toast. The presets are somewhat headscratchers for us, but with practice we found what settings work for us for various foods. When using the included tray we always covered it with foil and it was still the same after 12 years. It's easy to clean by sliding out the bottom. The rack conveniently pulls forward with the door (unlike an air fryer) and it is easy to disengage the rack from the front or back when needed to retrieve something or for cleaning. The new model is exactly the same, feels like the same quality, and I hope the inside components are also the same as in 2014. This little toaster oven can do almost anything a small air fryer does by just adding a fry basket and silicone mat. Unlike an air fryer, it's quiet, is more versatile because it bakes and toasts well, and is a better value for the money. I found these two great products on Amazon that work for the Panasonic. We have used them for frozen air fryer sweet potato fries, and frozen air fryer chicken wings. I am so glad they still make the small FlashXpress.

We've only had this for a week, and I'll update my review if things change, but so far, it's better than I expected. First, let me make it clear that this is not a sturdy product that inspires confidence. It feels pretty flimsy and the shelf is the thinnest possible wire. And it's pretty expensive for the low cost of materials and labor that went into it (I paid $116 Amazon Prime). I might lower my rating to four stars just for that, but I'm so pleased with how well it works, that I'm rating it five stars for now. I got it, because we have a very small kitchen, and I was looking for a toaster oven with a small footprint. This model achieves that by putting the controls under the cooking cavity, not next to it like almost all other toaster ovens. It's only 13 inches wide, but it's quite tall, so it doesn't actually look as small as it is. Also, it's available in white, which works well with our kitchen color scheme (our kitchen is a stainless-free zone), and is reasonably attractive. And it got very good ratings on Consumer Reports (though I don't always find that their ratings match my needs): it was ranked number 3 out of the 23 models most recently tested. It appears to be relatively easy to clean; we'll see how that works out. What surprised us was how fast it toasts bread, and how easy it is to see what you're toasting with the very bright interior light. I honestly don't know how well it will hold up, because it's so flimsy. I think that if you put anything in a glass baking pan on the shelf, it might bend. But we don't plan to do anything but toasting bread, grilled cheese, pizza, that sort of thing. We have a real oven that works well, and this toaster oven would be too small for anything ambitious. I just hope that it continues to work and that it doesn't explode or fail in one of the ways some people have reported. So far, so good. Update 2016-03-13: Very happy to report that this is by far the easiest to clean toaster oven we've ever had. There really isn't any little cranny that you can't get to, and it's quick and easy. This is really important when you live in a bug-infested place like S.Florida like we do. Update 2023-01-02: Amazingly, our unit is still working and looks pretty good in spite of our not-very-diligent cleaning habits (the top edge has some baked-on brown stuff that won't come off without damaging the finish). Not only are we still using ours (over seven years, now!), but three relatives were so impressed that they each got one and are still using theirs. What they like: small footprint, light on when toasting, easy to clean. It was already expensive seven years ago and the price has of course gone up, but if ours fails, I'll get another. Like I said: it feels cheap, but it works well.

UPDATE - AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF - I GOT AN ELECTRIC SHOCK JUST FROM TOUCHING THE TOASTER WHEN IT WAS PLUGGED IN. I WOULD >>NOT<< RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! ALL IN ALL, EVEN WITHOUT THE PAINFUL SHOCKS, THE TOASTER OVERALL WAS OF VERY LOW CONSTRUCTION QUALITY. ONE OF THE FOUR PEDESTALS IT SITS ON BENT WHEN I TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX. BUT THE ALUMINUM WAS SO CHEAP, I JUST EASILY BENT IT BACK WITH 2 FINGERS AND LITTLE EFFORT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING BETTER THAN A REGULAR TOASTER OVEN. IT IS WAY OVERPRICED IN MY OPINION. (BTW) I PULLED OUT MY OLD BLACK AND DECKER TOASTER OVEN, CLEANED IT, AND IT WORKS JUST FINE (I won't say better, it TOASTS , not a lot could go wrong. But I got it on sale from amazon (and the non sale price is half this things). --------------------------------------------- First - It arrived in under 24hours with free Amazon Prime Shipping. Very Nice. I basically use a toaster for everything and realized a couple years ago, Toasters these days only last a short number of years and then you have to toss it out (and into a landfill) and buy another. Hence I would wait for a great deal on a Black & Decker (or the same quality) Toaster Oven (usually under $30), and they worked great for a few years. This (with all the reviews) seemed to promise a whole new Toaster Experience. For me: 1. It Toasts 2. It makes about as good of a toasted piece of bread as any new toaster oven I've ever purchsed 3. The promised FASTER TOASTING/COOKING time turned out to be almost EXACTLY to the second THE SAME TIME TO TOAST (and cook raw dough into bread, and Frozen Burritos into a crunchy meal) as my last toaster which happened to have a digital display rather than the traditional sloppy time dials. THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN THIS MUCH, MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TOASTER OVEN ARE: 1. MORE THAN TWICE THE PRICE OF A GOOD QUALITY B&D GOOD QUALITY TOASTER OVEN 2. MUCH, MUCH SMALLER (well ... it is much much narrower than a normal toaster oven width, but more than TWICE THE HEIGHT OF A REGULAR TOASTER OVEN. --->> BUT WITH ZERO EXTRA INTERIOR SPACE COMING FROM THE MUCH TALLER TOASTER (only one rack, and it's much smaller feeling than a regular toaster oven. 3. THE KICKER - THE ENTIRE TIME THE UNIT IS TOASTING, BAKING, WARMING IN ANY WAY ... THERE IS A NON-STOP ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF (ABOUT EVER 15-25 SECONDS DEPENDING ON THE SETTINGS) FROM THE EXTRAORDINARILY ***BRIGHT**** INTERIOR LIGHT INSIDE THE TOASTER OVEN. I was watching TV in my separate living room (from my kitchen) and it was as if the lights in my kitchen were being turned on and off every 20 seconds. ----------------> NOTE ALL THE FUSS ABOUT THE PRE-SET COOKING OPTIONS ..... There are all the presets, but you can very easily ALSO manually cook at any temperature, for any amount of time .... and you can adjust both during the cooking. it is also VERY EASY to change the darkness for the toast setting, even while it is toasting. so it has all the controls any toaster has, PLUS the presets. But as said, the presets don't cut the time or quality of toast I got from my last $25 toaster oven.

I absolutely love this little toaster oven. We moved to a home with limited counter space, and I have celiac disease so I can't share a toaster with the gluten-eaters. If we had kept the microwave and separate toasters there would be no room left on the counter to make food! This little toaster oven does the job of all three and in half the space of a microwave, and I haven't had to use the regular large oven that guzzles electricity. It gets used at least twice a day, sometimes three or four times for reheating and cooking meals. Pros: - no preheating - small and compact, takes up very little counter space compared to a microwave - easy to use controls, the membrane buttons are easy to wipe clean - multiple preset heating options plus custom heat and timer settings mean it's very flexible - removable crumb tray makes it easy to clean up the crumbs Cons: - it does heat up quite a bit on the top and sides, but as long as you keep thin plastics away from it and teach kids not to touch it's not a huge problem - the light that turns on and off while heating is quite bright, but you get used to it - it won't fit anything larger than a 9-inch frozen pizza or anything tall, but the interior size is impressive given how small it is overall - no broiler setting; I've successfully made nachos using the toast setting, however, so I don't miss it. - it takes a long time (10+ minutes) to reheat things like soup So far we've used this little toaster oven to make toast, nachos, grilled cheese, frozen pizzas, hash browns, and roasted tomatoes; it's also been used to reheat leftovers from takeout pizza to rice to pancakes, and I've even made s'mores in it. I haven't tried it for baking yet but if I do I'll update my review. You have to use it differently to reheat some foods compared to a microwave, but adding a tad extra liquid and stirring halfway through works just fine for reheating foods without burning the top or drying them out. I does take a bit longer than a microwave, but for foods like leftover pizza and french fries the crispiness this toaster oven gives is completely worth it. I've heavily used the tray that came with the toaster oven, and it's become severely discoloured from oils and I can't get it looking clean any more even with vinegar soaks or a baking soda scrub — however, that's an aesthetic issue and not a function issue. If I got another one I'd line it with tinfoil just to keep it from getting stained so quickly. The rack is stainless steel and much easier to clean, even when it's covered in baked-on cheese from pizzas. As far as using this toaster oven for both gluten-free and non-gluten-free foods, the rack is removable but it's a little bit fiddly, and it's too hard to clean well enough to just clean before every use; instead I use the included tray for my gluten-free bread, and save putting food directly on the rack for the gluten-containing foods (a silicone mat might work as well, if there are any made in the right size). When using the tray instead of the rack I have to flip my bread to get both sides evenly toasted, but it works out okay; ideally I'd get a second rack to have one for only gluten-free use and just switch back and forth, but I haven't been able to find anywhere I can get just the rack on its own.

Es el segundo que compro para mi otra casa. Ahora tengo dos y es el mejor tostador de pan versátil para otros usos de horno pequeño, calentar y hornear galletas, pequeños pasteles, rebanadas de pizza, etc.

Je viens de recevoir l'appareil. Je le trouvais assez dispendieux à 179 $ malgré le rabais de 20 $ mais les différents sites d'avis placent cet appareil dans le top 5 malgré qu'il n'a pas changé depuis des années donc ça m'a rassuré. L'appareil a un format idéal sur le comptoir et a un très beau look malgré le fait qu'il est sorti sur le marché il y a plusieurs années. J'ai bien aimé la fonction toast et le fait que les rôties sont prêtes en 2 minutes et parfaitement cuites. On peut y mettre 4 tranches de pain mais si les tranches sont trop grandes, ça sera serré. L'intérieur de l'appareil n'est pas très grand. Les lumières infrarouges cuisent beaucoup plus rapidement et de manière égale comparé aux éléments. C'est un excellent petit four pour réchauffer ou faire cuire de petites portions sans se soucier d'un problème de cuisson inégale. La plaque de miettes sous l'appareil est une très bonne idée. Oui la plaque est mince mais son seul but est de ramasser les miettes ou les morceaux qui tombent durant la cuisson donc ce n'est pas important. J'ai détecté un petit défaut de confection. La fenêtre de la porte a un cadre par dessus à l'intérieur donc les miettes ou détritus y restent pris lorsque vous sortez vos aliments puisque la grille qui est attachée à la porte embarque par dessus lorsque vous tirez la poignée. Le nettoyage de cette portion de l'appareil est plus difficile. Du côté des positifs, lors de la cuisson, l'appareil est complètement silencieux comparé aux mini fours conventionnels et la chaleur est immédiate avec l'infrarouge donc aucune pré cuisson nécessaire. Bref, je recommande cet appareil pour une personne seule ou un couple pour une utilisation de tous les jours.

magnífico y muy poderoso, calienta, y tuesta en 2.5min, descongela en 7 minutos. Ahorra energía por su alta eficiencia. Lo recomiendo, solo ojo con el tamaño, es pequeño. bueno para 1 o 2 personas.

Es un horno tostador excelente por su tamaño, tecnología y funcionalidad. Es además estético y muy completo: funciones predeterminadas, conversión visible de grados F/C , luz y un tamaño excelente. Estoy muy satisfecha de la compra.
