Panasonic has been one of Australia's most trusted microwave brands for decades, and for good reason — their inverter technology, flatbed designs, and multi-function combi models consistently outperform the competition at every price point. At Big Warehouse Refurbs, we stock a large range of refurbished Panasonic microwaves in excellent, tested condition, with prices from $129 to over $1,000.

Whether you're outfitting a small apartment or upgrading to a premium combi oven, this guide covers the best Panasonic microwave options available refurbished in Australia in 2026 — broken down by type and budget.

Why Buy a Refurbished Panasonic Microwave?

Panasonic microwaves are built to last. Refurbished models from Big Warehouse Refurbs are fully tested, professionally cleaned, and graded as excellent condition — meaning like-new in look and function. Every unit is backed by a 12-month warranty and ships free across Australia from our Wollongong warehouse. You get the same performance as a new model at a fraction of the price.

Budget Compact: Under $150

If you're after a no-fuss, compact microwave for reheating and defrosting, the Panasonic NN-ST34NW (White) and NN-ST34NB (Black) are excellent entry-level picks. Both are 25L, 900W models — perfect for small kitchens, studio apartments, or a second microwave for the office. Available from $129 refurbished.

Best Everyday Inverter: 32L, $199–$239

This is where most Australian households will find their sweet spot. Panasonic's inverter technology delivers even, consistent power throughout cooking — no hot spots, no rubbery edges on reheated meals — and these models offer the right balance of size, power, and features.

Top picks in this range:

  • Panasonic NN-SD38QS (29L, 1000W, Black/SS) — from $199. A sleek, compact inverter for everyday use.
  • Panasonic NN-ST64QW (32L, with 20 pre-programmed auto menus) — from $229. Great if you want guided cooking for common meals.
  • Panasonic NN-ST665B (32L, 1100W inverter) — from $235. Reliable mid-range workhorse.
  • Panasonic NN-ST64JW (32L, 1100W, compact design) — from $239. Space-efficient and powerful.

Flatbed Inverter: No Turntable, $249

Flatbed microwaves remove the rotating turntable entirely, replacing it with a flat interior that's much easier to clean and accommodates larger or awkward-shaped dishes. Panasonic's flatbed range is one of the best on the market.

Available refurbished from $249:

  • NN-SF574S — 27L stainless steel, 1000W flatbed inverter
  • NN-SF564W — 27L white flatbed inverter
  • NN-SF57QS — 27L stainless steel solo flatbed inverter (currently in stock)
  • NN-SF56QB — 27L black flatbed inverter, 1000W

If cleaning your microwave is a constant frustration, a flatbed model is a game-changer.

Large Family Size: 44L, $285–$325

For larger households, or if you frequently cook full meals in the microwave, the 44L models give you the capacity you need:

  • Panasonic NN-ST75LB (44L, 1100W Cyclonic inverter) — from $285. The cyclonic inverter distributes heat even more evenly than standard inverter models.
  • Panasonic NN-ST776S (44L, 1000W stainless steel sensor microwave) — from $325. Auto sensor cooking adjusts time and power automatically.

Convection Grill 3-in-1: $375–$379

These models combine microwave, convection oven, and grill in one unit — giving you the ability to bake, roast, grill, and reheat without needing a separate oven. Ideal for renters or compact kitchens where bench space is limited.

  • Panasonic NN-CT56MB (27L, Black, 3-in-1 convection grill) — from $375
  • Panasonic NN-CD58JS (27L, Stainless Steel, 3-in-1 convection grill) — from $379

Premium 4-in-1 Air Fry and Steam Combi: $649–$1,049

At the top of the range, Panasonic's combi models add steam and air fry functionality, turning your microwave into a serious cooking appliance:

  • Panasonic NN-DS59NB (27L, 4-in-1 steam, grill, flatbed microwave) — from $649. Steam cooking preserves nutrients and moisture far better than traditional microwaving.
  • Panasonic NN-CD88QS (34L, 4-in-1 air fry, convection, grill, microwave) — from $675 refurbished or $699 open box. One of Panasonic's most versatile models — bake crispy chips, roast chicken, or air fry without any preheating.
  • Panasonic NN-CS89LB (31L, 4-in-1 steam and convection flatbed) — from $1,049. The premium flagship model, combining steam, convection, grill, and microwave in a flatbed design.

Also Worth Considering: Breville

If you want a premium non-Panasonic option, the Breville the Combi Wave 3-in-1 (Black Stainless Steel, refurbished) is available from $499. It combines microwave, convection oven, and air fry in a stylish package — a great pick if you prefer the Breville brand.
