This microwave fits great on our counter. Heats up food fast and cooks a geat bag of popcorn in about a minute. We haven't fully utilized this microwave so it exceeded my expectations.

I bought this microwave to use in my office break room. We needed something somewhat heavy duty as there are quite a few people that use it. Immediately, we noticed it was quite powerful and didn't require as much time in the microwave to heat items up as our old one did. The design is quite simple which is helpful for many in our office. We like having the turn table inside and thus far it has been quite easy to clean. We are very happy having had it in use for over a month now (hence why I waited a little bit to write a review). I'm sure it would do great for home use as well. It isn't super huge either which is good counter space wise. We chose to get black but it was also available in white and it was very reasonably priced for the reviews it got, the power and size of it as well. I feel with all those factors averaged together, it makes this a good buy.

This one fit my needs. Right dimensions, right power, right color. It's getting hard to find white appliances. I wish the alarm at the end of the cooking cycle was louder. The light in the interior doesn't come on when the door is opened, only when it's running. Minor details. Works great.

I purchased this microwave because it was one of few that was the size I was looking for and offered in white. I do not like that there is no interior light so you can't see if something is boiling over or burning. The door doesn't seem to open far enough and I'm continually scratching my hand on the door latches when putting something in to cook. It also doesn't seem to heat evenly, hot and cold spots in food. Lastly, you have to push the buttons fairly hard, especially the release or door open latch, so not good for anyone older. It works, but I would not say it is user friendly!

Standard microwave, buttons are easy to find and easy to use. Power is sufficient to heat up food quickly.
No light tho, so if you're in to staring at your food while it heats up then you're out of luck.
Panasonic you done did it again.

I got this unit on sale and took it to my workplace.
We have a small lunchroom and everyone has been very happy with it's ease of use.
The only downside is that there is no light to see inside while it is running.

Microwave Lacks Functionality
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
(Panasonic - 1.3 Cu. Ft. Mid-Size Microwave - black) purchased Aug 5, 2018.
Lacks functionality:
1) Dark when door lid is open! - When U open this Microwave, its dark inside-the light does NOT come on. (ALL of my previous microwaves {Kenmore, Sharp, GE} lights up when I open the door) Inconvenient...
2) Lacks the Quick Start or One Touch Start! - This is a huge Inconvenience.
*If I need to heat up something for 30sec quickly, I have to press the 30sec button & also press the Start button for a ??quick?? 30sec heating. Does not have the 1 button touch "Quick 30sec Start" function. (ALL of my previous microwaves {Kenmore, Sharp, GE} had this.
**If I need to heat up something for a couple of Mins, I have to press in 4 button/times. Really??
e.g fi I need heating for 2mins, I have to press 2, then 0,then another 0 & finally Start.
Does not have the "One Touch Start" button function, where if I need to heat potatoes for 6mins, I press 6 & Start. (ALL of my previous microwaves {Kenmore, Sharp, GE} had this.
--Now that school is back in session, this is really an inconvenience!! Am stuck with this as its past 14 days.
Pros: It uses 1100W & so it heats up beverage/foods nicely. No need to add more secs.
Thank U.

Med/small footprint but lots of power. Cooks evenly and efficiently. The only reason I did not give this product a 5 star rating is it lacks a light as it is cooking. Lots of features for the money and no issues so far and it's been used daily over the last 6 months of ownership.

All aspects of this micro wave are excellent, fast heat, solid turntable, BUT, the light does NOT come on when you open the door, ONLY when the door is closed and the time set and started, does the light come on. Somewhat annoying.

This microwave is the right size for us. I rarely use it for cooking but I use it for reheating multiple times a day.
It is quieter than previous microwaves we've had. I really like that.
I do wish it had a setting to turn the 'finished' ringer off. It wakes my husband in the morning. It was on my very first microwave in 1980. I wish they still did. Washer/dryers allow you to choose whether to use the alert ringer.
The one real peeve is that the light only comes on while cooking. That's a first for me. I don't like it. I want the light to stay on whenever the door is open along with when it is cooking.

Very spacious and powerful. Love the look and fits in well with our other appliances. But it as a replacement and already works better than previous microwave.
