Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the perfect size for us and it is very easy to use. I read the reviews on it and found it at Best Buy at a good price.

This was a gift. The people I bought it for needed a smaller microwave oven for their Apartment countertop. It has the features they want and they are happy with it. It also matches the other appliances in their kitchen.

So far (about 2 mos.) this microwave has been fine. Others here and elsewhere have commented about the fact that the inside light is only on while the microwave is operating. It is annoying. It makes it more difficult to clean properly. I am fastidious about not letting food get baked into the cavity finish. Now I need a flashlight to find and clean the spots. Can't say anything about longevity yet, but I don't have particularly high hopes. It seems that microwave ovens have almost become disposable.

I only purchased this because I needed white & a certain size to fit in my cabinet (this unit fit the specifications). I have no idea what inverter technology is but I'm assuming it has something to do with why this is such a quiet microwave. I used to have an over the oven one & I think that one worked much better but this one seems to work fine. We literally use it for an occasional reheat of left overs or for popcorn & that is it. I like that it is heavy so that everytime you push the button it isn't sliding around. I took one star off because the cost seems high - I'm guess inverter technology?!

There is no light when you open the door. Its noisy. It keeps on beeping when you open the door. The platter likes to slip out of place occasionally. The keypad could have more options ie baked goods,, baked potatoes, dinner plate, beverage etc. It does heat things up quickly.

This MW oven works very well and the price is very reasonable. The only thing I don't like is that the light does not turn on when the MW door is opened.

I'm in love with this microwave. It heats up food super fast and is small enough to fit on a normal counter top!

This Panasonic Inverter microwave works fairly well. I am not totally impressed with the Sensor cooking, because whenever I use it, I always open and check to see if it is done before it is finished and it is usually hot enough for me to eat. I have not let it completely go through sensor cooking cycle yet. I think it would end up being way too hot if did. It does soften butter very well on power level 3 and for 1 minute. I mostly use it to heat up meals. I researched microwaves online and in the store and I thought the Panasonic Inverter microwave was the most innovative microwave on the market today. Watch the Panasonic Inverter video on Best Buy website for this microwave. It is very impressive what this microwave can do. I really don't have a lot of complaints other than no light inside microwave other than when it is cooking a light does come on. It does work fairly well for reheating, microwave popcorn, softening or melting butter. I haven't tried all the features yet, but I will. I keep the Operating manual close to the microwave so I can reference it when using the microwave. The size of microwave is good and looks very nice on my counter. I would like to suggest to Panasonic to put a cooking reference chart just inside the door, so I don't have to reference Operating manual when using. My last microwave from Sears did have this feature and it was very handy when using microwave.

So far the microwave works well. Heats quickly at the lowest number of minutes. My only criticism is that it seems louder than my last microwave.

I bought this microwave oven about a month ago. It has worked very well, and I certainly would not have any complaint, save for the fact that this oven does not have that feature of starting the oven in 30-second increments by only pressing the start button. It has a quick minute button. but you still need to press the start button, for the oven to begin heating.

As I said above, I really like the overall size of this microwave and it does the job I need it to do. I use it daily for re-heating food & cooking vegetables and for defrosting occasionally. Compared to other microwaves I have owned this one seems to be a bit louder, but not to the point of being obnoxious. The thing I am least happy with is the Sensor Heating. The sensor is supposed to allow you to add the food, cover the food and then press the Sensor Heating. The sensor is supposed to turn off the oven when the steam level inside indicates the food is hot. The problem is that this process takes longer than regular heating and the reason is that the food is TOO hot and often overcooked. After the first few tries I quit using this function. Fortunately for me I did not buy this microwave to get the Sensor Heating function.

This microwave is simple and heats fine, but is noisy. I am frustrated that I cannot see the clock unless I step back 6 feet. The light turns on when it is in use, but I can't see what I am cooking because of the screening on the door window. It fits in the same space as the one I replaced, but has a much smaller interior size and glass tray.

This microwave is very spacious and the easy to read buttons and set up makes it worth wild.

My old microwave quite working so I went to Best Buy looking for another. The panasonic was just the right size and price. Buttons are easy to use and the wattage is good.

... it seems too powerful for its rated wattage. It's too easy to overcook food in this oven when following directions for a 1200 watt oven. Things dry out. You need to use a shorter time - requires trial and error. It might be due to the "inverter" feature which is supposed to be helpful, but I don't understand what it does. It often causes liquids to overheat and spatter all over the inside, requiring frequent cleanup. Also, the turntable is too easy to push off its spindle. Fortunately, it's just as easy to replace.

My 15 year old Panasonic died and got this as a replacement. Works great. Good size for plates and cooks quickly.

This microwave is a good value for the size and power. It has an easy to use key pad with good features. It has a neat and clean appearance for the kitchen.

This is a very sleek microwave. I choose the black because I was tired of the smudges that appear on stainless steel and the need to clean them differently in order to maintain the appearance of the stainless steel. I was surprised that the size of the 1.2 Cu. Ft has little to do with the space it takes up in comparison to the .07 Cu. Ft. I recently had to toss out. A bit higher price than I would have liked, but I couldn't wait for a sale to come along.

This model has plenty of features and buttons for different uses - cook, reheat, defrost, and even "keep warm"! It's nice and compact so it doesn't take up a whole lot of room on your kitchen counter but still has a good-sized turntable inside that will accommodate a medium-large casserole dish. Only negative is that it's noisier than our previous microwave, but it's a tolerable noise level. Have had it for a month now and works great!

5 beeps when done are much louder than a Sharp we looked at and tried. Numbers are very visible and has a large interior. My only complaint is that sometimes when you touch a number, it does not always register the first or even the second or third time. Have to try moving your touch around.
