Works very well, my wife likes it and finds it easy to use. Only thing we don’t like is that it not one touch activated when you touch a number like our old one had.

This microwave is a cut above other microwaves that are cheaper. I bought a Sharp microwave that worked OK however it didn't have the features and class that this Panasonic has. This Panasonic outclasses others with engineering, features, and quality. Only time will tell if it will last longer than the others.

When our previous, older model finally died, we purchased this updated unit. The interior is gray rather than the white of the old one, but there is plenty of light to see what's being cooked/heated and plenty of light to clean it. We did turn off the child safety lock because we donot need it. Highly recommend.

Nice microwave. Needed a new one since the other store working. However between the childlock and trying to figure how to disable it. One thing i lliked on my old microwave that this doesnt do is automatically turns on after pushing the quick heat 30 secs. It wont automatically turn on if u just push the 1 only for 1 minute. Something silly but i loved that feature

We love this new microwave. It replaced an older Panasonic of the same size. Not a fan of the child lock feature but have kept it from locking us out and easy to use. Quieter than the one it replaced as well--smooth running turntable. Meets all of our needs.
Best Buy had it waiting for us in less than an hour after ordering on line for pickup.

Getting something different from a previous 15+ year item always take some time to adjust.
Otherwise, it has been a very good replacement. It fit perfectly in our previous location. Cooks as well as the old one. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a new microwave.

Replaced a lower wattage microwave and so far so good. Heats up food, etc very well. Good size. Does show prints more than I would like for it to and a light up display would have been 5 stars.
Otherwise it's a good purchase and I'd recommend or buy again

I really like this microwave. It is very consistent with the heating and much faster than the one i had before. I just find having to press 0 before being able to open the door annoying but there's a way to get around that. I've just been too lazy to do so.

I like this microwave so far, after having it for a few weeks. It takes up less space than my previous GE microwave did. (The GE died within two years of buying it.) It does require more pushing of buttons than my last one, but I've gotten used to it.

I’ve had not had a microwave in over five years. This is the first one I have purchased for myself and I absolutely love it. Everything heats evenly. I don’t have to take things out and stir it and put it back in. It is amazing.

So many model choices makes comparison difficult!!
