    I thought this size would be too small; but is perfect for our needs. It is the wattage we were looking for as well. I does seem to take a bit longer to heat that our bigger microwave- but overall I would recommend.

    I'm very pleased with the Panasonic microwave. It is a good size, but leaves about 7" of counter space in front. The oven operates easily and efficiently with a rotating turntable and the inner surface is easy to clean. I appreciate the sensor cook and defrost features.

    Works great. But the lock button is so aggravating. Why cant the button be optional and be able to turn off. Just an unnecessary button

      Hi there! Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad to hear the microwave is working well for you. We understand your concern about the lock feature. Starting March 2024, federal regulations require all microwave ovens to include an automatic electronic door lock safety function. his feature is designed to prevent burns, accidental use, and unintended access, particularly by children or those unfamiliar with the appliance. Please note that the door lock function can be turned off by pressing Defrost, then Timer and then Popcorn within 10 seconds. - S Panasonic

    It comes with a child lock which took me a while to figure out. And then the instructions for disengaging it are somewhat obscure. I really had to take my time with the instructions to figure it out. But the microwave does work as it's supposed to. And I am happy with the machine.

    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.

    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.

    It works good and is not too big despite its 1200W. It is not as sturdy as my older Panasonic microwave but works well. My main complaint is that if you are trying to use it again (within a few minutes of your last cycle), you will need to press the reset button first. Then, you can run another heating cycle

    Microwaves have come a long way! We had a Panasonic Microwave for 10 yrs would die. Started look shabby we brought a new Panasonic. We are shocked by the difference in cooking. Defrost actually defrosts no cooked edges. A danish from the freeze soft like it was first baked. ReHeating chicken moist and heated evenly, not dry or rubbery. We highly recommend a Panasonic microwave not sure if it will last as long as our last one. Highly Recommended

    This is a great microwave. It heats sooo much faster than our old one. It does have a feature that annoys me, though. It has a child lock on the door so it won't open until you press open and the zero. People should watch their kids and then we wouldn't have to be inconvenienced by crap like this.

    I've used a lot of microwaves and this seems to be the best. The sensor works accurately for reheating and cooking shortcuts. The unit is very powerful. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS SO YOU USE IT PROPERLY AND GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE OUT OF IT. I think many people just hit the timer and run the appliance on high and end up destroying the machine and ruining food.
