    Overall excellent. Not sure I like the mandatory use of an extra button to open the door. Seems like an unnecessary bubble wrap our kids feature. Otherwise great microwave with excellent cooking and features.

    Best value for a powerful midsized microwave. Needed enough power to cook a variety of food but didn't want it to take up too much counter space. This fit the bill perfectly.

    Nice Microwave, but 1200 Watts is too much power

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

    We figured out how to disable the child lock button which was a pain to use. This microwave has too much power, and I wish we had bought a 1100 Watt microwave again. On everything we cook, we have to figure out how to lower the power (or else cremate a TV dinner at the regular setting). One good thing is that this microwave cooks evenly. I will never buy a 1200 Watt Microwave again--it's just too much power & too easy to overcook.

    This microwave is an ideal size for a countertop. It's a little louder than my previous Panasonic microwave but it heats very well. I would still buy it again because it is easy to set up plus I like the safety feature for young kids to prevent them from opening the microwave to a hot container.

    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.

    A good machine. Have used it for over a year and a half with no problem. As with all new microwaves, have to use a sequence to open after using. In this case press 0 then the door will unlock and can be opened. A safety feature (required) not explained very well in the instructions.

      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.

    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.
