This is the silver Panasonic NE-1878BPQ programmable commercial microwave, Smart UK SKU CJ137 and barcode 5025232883929. It is a Panasonic microwave in the Cooking Equipment category and All Microwaves section, so the model reference and barcode provide clear checks when ordering or replacing a unit.

Panasonic Inverter technology maintains an accurate power level throughout the selected cooking time. This supports faster, gentler and more even cooking, reheating and defrosting, helping to avoid the cold centres and overcooked edges that can occur when power is delivered less consistently.

This electric microwave provides 1800 W cooking output and requires a 230–240V, 50Hz single-phase supply. Its required input is 2650 W at 11.6 A, and it is designed for a 13 A plug-in connection with a plug fitted, making the electrical requirement clear when planning its position.

The Panasonic microwave has an 18Ltr capacity with an internal cavity measuring 175(H) x 330(W) x 310(D) mm. These measurements help buyers assess whether their usual plates, bowls and containers will fit without confusing cavity size with the larger external footprint.

The external dimensions are 337(H) x 422(W) x 476(D) mm. The microwave is 422 mm wide and 476 mm deep, with a front-opening door, so these figures can be used to assess the counter footprint and available front clearance before positioning it.

The stainless-steel, all-metal door has a smooth interior without ridges, seals or film to clean around. This reduces dirt traps and makes routine wiping more straightforward. The silver microwave has a front-opening door and stands on feet, while the simpler door construction can also support a longer working life.

Its inverter system can save up to 6.3% in energy consumption compared with the Panasonic NE-1853. The design combines this reduced consumption with faster, more even and gentler cooking, offering a practical efficiency benefit for commercial kitchens that use their microwave repeatedly throughout service.

Yes. Its inverter power supply helps make the unit lighter and smaller, and it weighs approximately 40% less than the equivalent NE-1853. This comparative reduction makes the microwave easier to position and move when access around the unit is needed.

The microwave stops operating when its ceiling plate or splatter shield is not correctly in place. This helps protect the cooking cavity from damage and reduces the risk of avoidable cleaning and repair work. A spare ceiling plate is supplied to help maintain continuity if the working plate needs replacement.

Yes. The Panasonic commercial microwave has a stackable design intended to help busy kitchens make more efficient use of limited counter space. This can be particularly useful where more than one microwave is required, although the units should be positioned in accordance with the applicable operating and ventilation requirements.

The programmable control system provides levels from full 1800 W output down through percentage settings, a 340 W defrost level and separate top-down and bottom-heating modes. Single-stage timing reaches 30 minutes at P1 or P0 and 15 minutes for P10–P2 and the directional modes.

The Panasonic commercial microwave includes a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty. For EIRE, the available product information identifies 3 years of parts-only cover. Buyers should retain their purchase details and follow the applicable warranty process if service or replacement parts are required during the cover period.
