    When my microwave stopped working I had to get a replacement quick. When I read the specs it was right to suit my needs. I just had to get use to the door lock feature. It's great if you have small children that like to push the door open when food cooked and still hot.

    I was looking for the most user friendly microwave and I ended up with the polar opposite. Just 13 days beyond the return window an icon in the appearance of a key showed up on my screen and locked out all features. Prior to this, I noticed that the door didn't shut securily unless I pushed it in just the right place and the keys were hard to press unless I pushed them precisely in the center with stealth precision.

    We have had great luck with Panasonic microwaves in the past and opted to purchase another one after our 13 yr old microwave started to act up. We love this microwave. It works great. The lock function is quite annoying but there is a way around it.

    Unit broke after 6 mo and warranty not useful.

    Door refused to open after six months of use. Repair under warranty involves getting the unit to an "authorized repair center" two hours away (then making another trip to pick it up), or spending serious money to ship it. The box and packing materials got thrown away a couple of months ago. Disappointing. I chose this specific, more expensive model because I had 10+ years good service with the the two previous ones.

We recommend reaching out to our official Panasonic Support team for further guidance with any warranty steps and if any other options would be available.

      Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback with us! We're sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the condition of the open boxed item.

      Hello! Thank you for reaching out with your concern. We understand your frustration regarding the need to unlock the door before pressing the open button. The reason for this process is to ensure security and safety protocols are followed. Unlocking the door serves as a verification step to ensure authorized access, while the open button initiates the mechanical operation to physically open the door. -C Panasonic

    DEFECTIVE - USELESS WARRANTY

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The microwave tripped upon first use and it has tripped ever since then. We had an electrician come out to replace the breaker, check our outlet wiring, etc. He moved the microwave to other outlets as well and it continued to trip AND the exterior of the microwave felt hot. It is defective; I've contacted Panasonic but so far the warranty is useless. AVOID purchasing this!

Please note that the warranty for the microwave is 1 year on parts and labor, and 5 years on Magnetron Tube (part only). If the issue persists, we recommend seeking professional assistance from one of our authorized service centers. -C Panasonic
