Our Verdict

Panasonic NN-CD66NS

IKEA GÅTEBO

The Panasonic NN-CD66NS is better than the IKEA GÅTEBO for most purposes. Both are combo microwave/air fryers, but the Panasonic is faster, quieter, and has more capacity. Its physical buttons and dial are easier to use than the IKEA's controls, and it's equipped with a steam sensor. That said, you might prefer the IKEA if you're looking for a small multi-function microwave.
