    It’s just the right size for a smaller counter space.

    I really like this Microwave. It has the sensor feature on it, which i really like. It's a nice size also. I dont really like the lock on it, but a know that it is a law, so i wont reduce rating for that.

    I had this microwave for one day. After use, I had to unplug the microwave and reset it in order for it to work. I had disabled the child lock, so that was not the problem. I contacted Panasonic customer service, but they requested that I open a ticket. I received an AI reply sent to my email which reiterated what was in the manual, which I had read numerous times. I bought this to replace an old GE that I had for nearly 20 years, which was starting to make grating sounds. I do not recommend. If you get a lemon, there is no one to help with the problem. I returned the microwave today.

    The buttons for putting in time and power level are very difficult to press and show up on the screen. It takes twice as long to enter times and/or power levels on this oven than the previous oven we had.

    Child lock FAILED Worked for 2 weeks then the door wouldn’t unlock after I heated my food… so I had a plate of food locked in the microwave. This happened 2 days after my return period ended. BestBuy wouldn’t do anything about it and told me that I would need to buy another microwave.
