Nice product. Heats things evenly.
When door opens it doesn't go back far enough -- the 2 things sticking out from the door have scratched and poked me a few times. very annoying!

Features work great, has light inside. Instructions were not clear on how to shut off child safety lock. I had to try 3 different ways only to find out door must be open to disengage safety lock which is not stated in the book.

Have used Panasonic in the past, so I knew I was getting an excellent product. I ran a price check on this model and Best Buy was the only retailer running a special. Easy decision.
Fits perfectly in the countertop corner. Quieter than most other brands. Like the child safety feature that requires an additional press to open after cooking is completed. If you decide to purchase this model, you won’t be disappointed.

So far the microwave oven is working great. Cooks food nicely with the proper settings. Display readout is good and the controls are easy to use. It is not as heavy as my old unit which is nice. However it is noisy loud when operating and creates noise in my adjacent AM radio. Overall a good purchase.

After reading about many different microwaves, I picked this Panasonic, and we are so glad I got this one! It is a very good size: ample room for whatever I cook, without taking up too much room, and easy to operate. Cleaning is easy. My old Panasonic lasted 14 years: I am looking forward to many years with this model. Best Buy made getting a new one easy!

We’ve had this microwave for a month now. As far as looks go, it is aesthetically appealing, so that’s a plus.
It works great and not to big and bulky. I love the different modes, and the ease of use. The reheat option has been my favorite so far. The door handle is easy to open which is nice compared to some that are a bit harder to push to open.
The only reason I have this 4 stars is that it didn’t sit level on the counter and wabbles a tiny bit. One of the legs on the bottom front is a tad bit shorter. These can be adjusted but I can’t seem to loosen it enough to adjust it. Osier my husband will figure this out.. Fingers crossed.
Over all, I’m satisfied with choice for our family. We have 4 kids, and they manage to Ouse if all the functions just fine as well. Which is a plus! The child lock feature is nice as well as easy to turn off.

This is a very good microwave. The controls are straightforward. I have used it for defrosting, reheating, popcorn & some cooking. Everything prepared perfectly, nothing overcooked. And the size is perfect for my countertop. I would definitely recommend this as a great user-friendly kitchen option.

I love just about everything with this microwave. But the two side panels are ugly and should have been painted black. And the feet on this are some kind of slippery hard plastic instead of rubber. So whenever you push buttons on the microwave, it slides to the backsplash. Which is very annoying! Other than those 2 complaints, I Love Panasonic microwaves. Always my first pick. And bonus, it was on sale.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely Worth It!
I don’t usually write reviews, but this product exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell the quality was top-notch. It feels well-made, performs exactly as described (if not better), and has quickly become something I use every day.
What I love most is [insert key feature you love — e.g., the sleek design, ease of use, durability, etc.]. It’s clear a lot of thought went into the design and functionality. Even small details, like [insert detail — e.g., fast shipping, great packaging, included accessories], made a big difference.
Customer service was also excellent — responsive, friendly, and helpful. It’s rare to find a product and company that deliver on all fronts.
If you’re on the fence, just go for it. I’m genuinely impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I love this microwave! It heats up evenly without any issues, defrosts meat very well without leaving a funny taste, and has functions to choose the right size of popcorn bags and pops them very well, the ONLY reason it didn’t get 5 stars from me is because I don’t like that I cannot turn off the lock function on the door. It can get in the way sometimes, and there is an extra step before you can open it. Otherwise, this microwave is great!

I needed a smaller microwave to fit in a specific space in my kitchen, but wanted one with POWER. This microwave is fantastic. IT feels well-built, the buttons are responsive and you can just enter a time and hit START. No need to find a tiny "cook time" button to allow custom cook times like on so many modern microwaves. 1200 watts of power means you can always choose the shortest recommended cook time on any package at default settings. The stainless steel front finish matches my other appliances. Great buy.

This microwave works well for reheating leftovers, popping popcorn, etc. It is a good size- not too large, but big enough to do what I bought it for. It took some time to turn off the lock out safety feature that is mandatory but a nuisance if you don't have young children to protect.

This is the second Panasonic microwave oven I've purchased over the years and couldn't be more pleased with the performance, especially the sensor cook feature. The last Panasonic microwave I had for about 20years and it still worked and was replaced because of some rust in the groove under the glass turntable plate.
