THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

NN-DS58HB is a genuine household microwave combination oven, not merely a steam oven: Panasonic's exact-model specification lists microwave output and microwave cooking modes, and the owner's manual has separate microwave operation instructions. The same documentation adds steam, grill and convection functions. This entry stays in the countertop-microwave category because the manual requires placement on a stable counter surface and the manufacturer marks trim kits unavailable.

Consider it for

For a household that wants microwave, steam, grill and convection functions in one countertop unit and is comfortable learning separate mode and accessory directions. Its flat cavity, six microwave output settings and included Grill Tray/Wire Rack differ from a basic turntable microwave; measure the 20 3/16 × 15 3/4-in. footprint and honor the manual's vent clearances before planning placement. Search by NN-DS58HB because the historical Renewed ASIN did not load..

Look elsewhere if

Not for buyers who require a rotating turntable, sensor cooking, a built-in trim-kit path, or a foodservice-rated unit. It also needs a countertop location that meets the manual's vent spacing and side-opening directions.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • Panasonic documents microwave, steam, grill and convection cooking as distinct functions with separate listed cooking ratings.
  • The flat table has no rotating glass turntable; the manual explains the bottom-feeding design and the usable-space difference from turntable side feeding.
  • The feature table lists 27 automatic programs and three-stage cooking, and the manual describes microwave, steam, grill, oven and combination operation.
  • The manufacturer lists the included Grill Tray and Wire Rack and states the model's 120-V/60-Hz supply, dimensions and 36-lb. net weight.

What to weigh up

  • There is no rotating turntable; dishes rest on the flat table, and Panasonic says microwave heating times may differ from side-feeding appliances.
  • Panasonic lists no sensor or sensor-reheat/cook feature, and the feature table marks built-in trim kits unavailable.
  • The manual requires six inches above, four behind and two at one side with the opposite side open, so counter placement must respect those clearances.
  • The exact manual says household use only and not approved or tested for commercial use; the old renewed ASIN did not verify a current offer.

What the features mean for you

Confirm that microwave cooking is part of the steam combination

Panasonic's support page is for exact model NN-DS58HB and lists 1,000-W microwave cooking, along with 1,290-W grill, 1,250-W convection and steam. The owner's manual labels the product a steam combination oven but includes microwave power, defrost and combination-with-microwave instructions. Those are direct microwave functions, so the product belongs in this category even though it also cooks with steam and conventional heat.

Plan around the flat cavity instead of a turntable

This model's flat cavity distributes microwave energy from below rather than using a rotating glass tray. Panasonic notes that its bottom-feeding technology differs from traditional side feeding through a turntable and can change microwave heating times. No turntable diameter applies, so the profile leaves that numeric attribute unknown; use the manual's cookware and mode directions when selecting dishes.

Use sensor status and automatic programs accurately

Panasonic lists 27 auto programs and Auto Reheat, but its exact-model table marks Sensor and Sensor Reheat/Cook with a dash. The automatic program count should not be mistaken for humidity-sensor control. The manual explains the fixed menu and the More/Less adjustment instead; consult each program's menu chart for its food and quantity limits.

Allow the countertop ventilation space

The manual requires a flat stable surface and calls for six inches on top, four at the back and two on the left, with the opposite side open; if one side sits flush to a wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. Panasonic lists 27- and 30-inch trim kits as not available. Treat this as a countertop model rather than planning it into cabinetry.

Treat it as household equipment

The exact manual says the oven is manufactured for household use only and is not approved or tested for commercial use. Panasonic lists 1,450 W maximum consumption for combination cooking; that is input/consumption information, not the 1,000-W microwave output rating. Foodservice buyers need a model whose manufacturer explicitly approves that setting.

Search for the exact model after the renewed ASIN failed

The frozen row calls ASIN B07XLQDKGC a Renewed Panasonic NN-DS58HB, but Amazon returned an internal error when opened on 2026-10-05. The exact-model support page and manual verify the NN-DS58HB product independently; they do not prove that this historic ASIN maps to a present exact offer. The tagged Amazon destination searches the model string and makes no current price, stock, sales or buyer-review claim.

What else to compare

If a rotating glass turntable, sensor reheating or a built-in installation is required, compare a microwave whose own manufacturer documents that feature and installation path. If steam and convection are unnecessary, a simpler microwave may avoid the additional modes and their cookware rules. Commercial users should select a manufacturer-rated foodservice model.
