The Panasonic NE-1054F is a heavy-duty commercial-grade microwave that would fit as well in various businesses as it would a small kitchen. It has a compact size, though the 0.8 cubic feet of inner capacity gives you plenty of room to make a few larger meals for visiting family and friends. This simple microwave for elderly people is powerful, with a bottom energy feed system for quick, even cooking, no matter what’s on the menu. It also has a few handy features, like customizable controls, various presets, and Braille keypads for those with vision problems.
The NE-1054F is one of the most convenient models on the market, with a function to match almost anything you want to cook. Unlike our Editor’s Choice, this model features less cooking options, yet it makes this device much easier to operate. While lacking in cooking options, this machine makes for it with more heating power. What Breville BMO650SIL also lacks is care for the narrow sighted and blind users. But Panasonic NE-1054F has it under control – its buttons feature Braille font on the keypads. The capacity to customize up to 20 programs is a nice option for nursing homes. We also got a feedback that Panasonic NE-1054F has a more convenient handle for elders than that of Breville BMO650SIL.
