Great for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this based on reviews and am not disappointed!!! The only drawback and not always a big deal is not being able to auto minute (not sure what that called) but have to put the minute(s) then hit start. But heats evenly and Love the look of it!!!

perfect in every way!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very happy with the size. It fits well in a small area and provides a quick and simple simple way to cook or reheat snacks or an entire meal. The cooking "pad" is easy to understand making this economic microwave so very simple to use.

Works well
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave works well for heating and defrosting. Sometimes hard to open the door. You have to push the button multiple times before it opens.

Good for what I needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace my old microware oven. It does not have all of the same feature that my old one did but, it does every thing that I need it to do. It also has some new feature that I have not used yet but they could be very useful.

Effecuent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replacing a very old and well used Emerson microwave, 30 years. This Panasonic microwave does everything better and in less time. I especially like the 30 second feature and sensor control works well. Built in carousel is a nice feature. Perfect size for our needs.

Heating is accurate and good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the look and the wattage it cooks perfectly. What I don’ Like it is difficult to open and no light goes on when opening microwave only when it is running.

Pretty good microwave
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good microwave, takes a little longer to heat up food or bottles. But seems to do it more evenly, even if it needs a few more seconds than other more powerful microwaves

Microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave does what is expected, however when using the timer you can't cook anything. Not a good deal. This was never mentioned in discription. Not what was expected.

New Microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to go with a Panasonic Microwave. Parents had given us a Panasonic Microwave 34 years ago. We had it for approximately 25 years. Best one we had ever had. Am hoping this Panasonic lasts a long time too. So far I am happy with it. It does what it is suppose to do.

Compact and multi-functional at a mid price range.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn’t give this microwave 5 stars because the interior finish/coating seems thin. I hope it does not wear out too fast. My guess is, good function, but limited years of use.

Works Well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave performs the standard microwave tasks and has the option to use sensor cooking. Instructions are a bit unclear in sections but once you figure them out the microwave is easy to use.

Even fast heating
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Heats fast and evenly. A power breakdown by wattage or % of full power rather than High, Medium and Low would be helpful, but once learned heating frozen foods becomes easier.

Pleasantly surprised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reheat sensor really works. This microwave works better than my old one and I really liked my old one. This one is smaller than my old one; that is the only thing I am having to get use to, but I wanted a smaller one to save a little bit of space. Very pleased.

Standard microwave - above standard price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is your basic average microwave. It's a little overpriced for what it is. Unfortunately, the store location we went to, only had a very small number on display and available (6 choices) and we did not have time to drive to the next closest location (where they had 17 choices on display, big difference). They did have a great selection of over the range type (more than enough, 25+) but unfortunately that wasn't the kind we needed.

1100 Watts Is A Plus
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave heats up items very fast. It is missing an interior light and quick start buttons. I should have done a bit more research before buying it.

efficiant and useful
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are happy that we chose this microwave. Our previous Panasonic died after almost twelve years of daily use. We have used this daily since purchasing and are very pleased!

Seems to work ok, but not as good as my old GE
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very stiff to close. Makes a very loud "slam" when latched. Hard to read.....have to turn on overhead lighting in order to see the numbers. Why not have them illuminated???

Great Counter-top Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cooks very evenly without any hot spots like my previous G.E. Even has automatic sensor cooking & reheating options which takes the guesswork out of both. Just wish it had a 1-button beverage option, but I just hit the quick-30 twice.

Noisy and Cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave is very noisy and upon opening and closing the door feels like it's not a solid piece. Kept it just because I don't have the time and energy to return it.

A classic microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing above nor beyond just functional and what u want a microwaveable to be and to do. No frills no thrills but again, it’s a microwave with tech that hasn’t significantly needed to change since the 1970’s
