New Models Aim to Modernize Classic Kitchen Appliance with Enhanced Functionality and Superior Design
NEWARK, N.J., March 13, 2025 -- Panasonic today announced the FlashXpress™ Air Fry Toaster Oven NB-G211 Series and the FlashXpress Toaster Oven NB-G200– two cutting-edge additions designed for busy families seeking healthier, more convenient meal solutions. Combining powerful performance, intuitive functionality, and a health-conscious design, these elevated countertop appliances make cooking faster, easier, and more enjoyable than ever.
"Panasonic has a rich heritage in kitchen appliances, and a deep commitment to innovation, in pursuit of products that enhance consumer usability," said Walter Taffarello, Director of New Business Development. "Our original FlashXpress Toaster Oven has remained a beloved staple for 25 years. Instead of reinventing it, we set out to reimagine the possibilities and expand the lineup. We first introduced a refreshed design celebrating this iconic product, and then built upon its legacy with a new model that honors what made the original so popular."
After two and half decades, Panasonic is redefining its FlashXpress series with the FlashXpress Air Fry Toaster Oven (NB-G211 Series), a versatile appliance that seamlessly blends the sophistication of traditional Japanese design with modern functionality tailored for U.S. consumers. With 11 pre-set functions and a manual mode, this all-in-one countertop essential features seven dedicated cooking modes in a sleek, family friendly design: Air Fry, Air Roast, Roast, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate and Toast. Whether you're crisping up fries, roasting a whole chicken or baking mozzarella sticks, the NB-G211 Series makes mealtime effortless.
At the core of this innovation is Panasonic's advanced FlashXpress technology, which uses dual heating elements to enable rapid preheating and faster cook times. This ensures food is cooked evenly throughout– delivering juicy meats, perfectly golden toast, and irresistibly crispy-yet-tender results. The addition of the Air Fry function offers users and families lets families enjoy healthier meals and snacks, without compromising on flavor or texture. Plus, its all-enamel, PFAS-free interior ensures a safer, worry-free cooking experience with every use.
Engineered for modern households, the latest FlashXpress model boasts a spacious 28L interior– large enough to roast an entire small chicken–while its double-glass door construction optimizes heat retention for quick, even cooking. The sleek stainless steel design and intuitive user-friendly interface offers home chefs seamless control over cooking modes, temperature and time.
On the cusp of 25 years of the FlashXpress, Panasonic proudly launched a special anniversary edition in stainless steel in November 2024– the NB-G200 Toaster Oven. It built upon the same beloved rapid-cook technology of the appliance with an elevated design that matches today's trends, an improved user interface for ease of use and PFAs-free aluminum interior. The updated model comes nearly seven years after Panasonic introduced a white and black colorway in 2018, broadening consumer appeal. The original Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven (NB-G100PW) debuted in 1999 and became an instant top-pick– winning over consumers and industry awards with its dual heating elements, offering faster cooking times, without the need for preheating.
Panasonic is committed to shaping a more sustainable future by minimizing its environmental impact The new Panasonic FlashXpress Air Fry Toaster Oven and Toaster Oven use packaging that adheres to a zero-plastic standard. Interior packaging is made using molded pulp and outer cartons are using FSC-certified recyclable cardboard, paper tape and are printed with eco-friendly inks.
The Panasonic FlashXpress Air Fry Toaster Oven NB-G211is now available on Shop.Panasonic.com and Amazon for a suggested retail price of $299.99. This spring, consumers will also be able to find a similar model–the NB-G212, which includes a pizza stone accessory–exclusively at Costco. The FlashXpress Toaster Oven NB-G200 in stainless steel is also now available on Shop.Panasonic.com and Amazon.com for $169.99.
