Hey! The Panasonic NN-CD87KS, also known as the HomeChef 4-in-1, does a lot—it's a microwave, air fryer, convection oven, and broiler all in one.

Now, about the noise level when it's working: here's what I found out. The cooling fan is the main source of noise. Based on our research, it seems to run pretty loudly, especially after cooking finishes. This can be a bit annoying if you're in a quiet environment.

The noise is most noticeable when you're using the air fryer function since the fan keeps running even after the cooking cycle ends to cool down the appliance. In general, the microwave itself makes the usual sounds you’d expect—a hum and occasional buzz—nothing out of the ordinary for a high-powered unit.

But it's that cooling fan that stands out, particularly compared to some quieter microwaves. So, if you're super sensitive to noise or need a very quiet kitchen appliance, this fan might bug you.

However, for most people, the noise level is manageable, and the fact that this unit does so much might make it worth putting up with the fan noise.

Hope this helps!
