    Returned a similar size Panasonic purchased from Amazon. This one is so much better. Love the handle lever - no more sliding microwave when door opens. Have already turned off the beeps for silent operation and love to turn off display (don't need another clock so close to stove). Very happy with this one!

    Heats fast, perfect size for a small countertop. But one thing is that the button to open the door is under the handle and opening the door is different and weird.

    I buy all of these for our 2024 Mack sleepers. It's the biggest size we can fit in the space and is powered by our APU. I have purchased about 20+ of these for the last couple of years. I have not had to replace any of these yet and the drivers like the simplicity and power of them. The price is great.

    It can be muted (by holding the 8 button), which apparently is not super common for countertop microwaves, and the display can also be turned off if you have this in a dorm room or bedroom and don't want the extra light at night (by tapping the stop button when not running). I like that the door is opened with a trigger-like button under the top of the handle. Keep in mind that it may be awkward if you plan on keeping a microwave higher than maybe chest level. The plate is about 10 1/2 inches, which is enough for most things. This fits exactly what I needed. I like it a lot.

    Bought this as my new apartment did not have a microwave. Heat everything up to perfection. Only downside is the trigger to unlock the door can be a little stiff.
