Capability & Business Use
The Panasonic NE-1864 Microwave is a high-performance workhorse designed for high-footfall environments such as professional kitchens, pubs, and busy cafes. Unlike standard microwaves, this heavy duty unit utilises Inverter technology to provide a continuous stream of power, ensuring delicate proteins and dense sauces are heated evenly without the surface drying out. Its 18-litre capacity and 1800W output make it capable of handling constant back-to-back service, from rapid single-portion reheating to more complex multi-stage cooking tasks.
Technical Reliability & Installation
Constructed with a high-grade stainless steel body and cavity, the NE-1864 is built to withstand the physical demands of a commercial site while being effortless to sanitise. For immediate deployment, the unit is fitted with a 13A plug, requiring no specialized hardwiring despite its heavy duty power output. The flat ceramic base replaces traditional turntables to maximize usable internal space and eliminate moving parts that are prone to failure in commercial settings. It also features a removable air filter with a cleaning reminder to protect internal components from grease and dust build-up.
ROI & Operator Experience
This microwave is engineered to reduce operational friction and energy costs. The Inverter power supply is significantly lighter and more efficient than traditional transformers, resulting in a unit that is easier to move for deep cleaning. Operators benefit from 30 programmable touchpads and a 'double/triple quantity' function, which allows for one-touch operation that ensures menu consistency regardless of staff experience levels. Included in the box is the Panasonic NE-1864 unit and a clear instruction manual. Your investment is protected by a three-year onsite parts and labour warranty, ensuring that any maintenance is performed at your premises to keep your business moving.
