Panasonic - 1.2 Cu. Ft. 1200-Watt Countertop Microwave Oven with Inverter Technology - Stainless Steel

This Panasonic 1.2 cu. ft. 1200W microwave has been a great upgrade. The inverter technology really makes a difference—food heats evenly without those annoying cold spots, and it doesn’t overcook the edges. It’s powerful, quiet, and the stainless steel design looks clean on the counter. Controls are easy to use, and it handles everything from reheating leftovers to cooking full meals without any issues. Feels like a high-quality, durable appliance that’s built to last. Overall, 5 stars from me—great value, excellent performance, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable countertop microwave. Verified purchase, honest review.

I’ve been really happy with this Panasonic microwave. It heats food quickly and evenly, so I don’t end up with cold spots in the middle like with some cheaper microwaves. The inverter technology makes a noticeable difference, especially when reheating leftovers or defrosting food since it heats more gently and consistently. It feels well built, looks clean and modern in stainless steel, and the 1.2 cu. ft. size is roomy enough for larger plates without taking up too much counter space. The controls are simple to use once you get familiar with them, and the 1200 watts give it plenty of power. It’s a great choice if you want something reliable that works well every day and feels worth the money.

It’s an amazing microwave but the child lock feature is insanely annoying.. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried fiddling with it slamming the door open and closed trying to deactivate my food or struggling to tell people how to deactivate it CONSTANTLY and if you forget the manual or lose it good luck trying to open it or searching online for a manual. Yeah you can just push one button and it unlocks but it’s so annoying having to constantly push it to open the door push it to set the timer push it to open over and over. If you already have food in the microwave also it’s harder to deactivate. Sometimes it activates on its own. It might seem simple to pass but it’s like entering a password on your phone once you’ve already got Face ID. Or imagine trying to open the fridge door and having it locked. It’s an annoying minor inconvenience. Makes me want to throw it out. But besides that it’s flawless microwave! This is a 1 yr review, sensor reheat works well but make sure you use moist foods to extract vapors from and use as intended. Because it will overheat and dry out your food if it’s already dry. Power levels work well also! Popcorn and milk / coffe setting works nice! My last microwave I always had to set more time.

Needed a microwave to replace my 14 year old Kenmore microwave which after years of great, dependable service had now gone to microwave heaven. Panasonic was highly recommended online, so I decided to give it a try. I loved the large size, the various functions provided, and the reasonable price tag. After several weeks, I can say that I made the right decision. I am very much pleased with its look and performance, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to buy a microwave.

This microwave was the perfect size for the space I had, met my power needs, and looked attractive. It was advertised for a few dollars less at another retailer, but they had none in any of their stores. I think it might have been a bait and switch, as a more expensive Panasonic was prominently in stock. Best Buy had it in stock and available that day. Happy with the purchase.
