Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works just as well as previous model from Panasonic that I had for nearly 13 years. It’s a little dark inside when operating but other than that I am very pleased with my purchase.

This is a great microwave on paper but it is very difficult to use. Put simply it overcooks my food. It seems like no matter what power level I select the oven cooks at full power. I have reheated a bowl of leftover rice dish for a couple of minutes on power lever 1 and the food came out sizzling and the bowl too hot to hold. I use this microwave mostly for heating a mug of water for tea, cooking frozen meals, and reheating leftovers. My old oven was 1100 watts, this Panasonic is 1250 watts. I carefully note on the directions for my frozen meals what wattage oven is associated with the cooking directions. And my food comes out overcooked. At first I tried scaling back the power level to match the preparation directions. When that resulted in overcooked food I reasoned that this oven has no throttle, it's on or off, and I began scaling back my cooking times. Adjusting cooking time seems to work better. It may be that I got a defective unit, I should contact Panasonic. If not for the issue with controlling power/cooking time I would really like this oven. It has a lot going for it. - large turntable -ample power -the sensor reheat really is convenient, just press one button and start the oven and the sensor figures out the time and power. It really works but the food comes out a little too hot and meat may continue to cook so if you got that steak perfect on the bbq it will come out well done after reheating. -the Keep Warm feature is nice, it may be the only way to throttle back the power on this oven. Cons: -the beep isn't loud enough -it only beeps when the cooking or timer is done. My old oven gave reminder beeps every 30 seconds until I tended to my food or stopped the timer. - burns my food

My husbands microwave finally bit the dust after 17 years. He picked this out. Is very happy with the way it performs. Is the perfect size to fit on top of his 9 cu ft refrigerator freezer. No complaints.

Love this microwave, not too big or too small. Does everything that I need it to do. Fits nicely in my microwave shelf

Good size. Easy to use. Looks nice. Easy to clean.

This thing is a BEAST. I did a decent amount of research before I purchased it. At first I thought it was too big for my counter lol. Turns out it is perfect. The sensory cooking is utters

Very satisfied with the microwave. Would recommend this unit. It work like it should and has lots of room for large items.

This was a replacement for a similar microwave that we used for about 18 years. The reason for the 4-star rating is that the oven interior is not as tall as our original, compounded by the larger wheels under the glass tray. As a result, knocking the tray loose is much more common. Other than that, the microwave works very well, and we're happy with our choice.

This is my second Panasonic Microwave. My first one lasted for over a decade and worked very well without issue. This one works just as well. I would buy this brand again and recommend to others. I knocked off one star because the door could close more smoothly and quietly and the door open button gets smudges easily.

This is perfect for my needs. I had a larger unit of the same kind but needed additional space. This fit the Bill. Perfect for A smaller kitchen with limited counter

So far the microwave works well. A few of the features are great. The defrost cycle is very efficient. It's quiet and reheats food very well without over heating.

It is big and seems to work fine. It was a Consumer Reports Best Buy so I couldn't go wrong. Sales people were nice.

It warms good evenly. Overall it’s better than my previous microwave. I love the very large glass turntable because it keeps the bottom of the microwave from getting dirty.

bought it on sale and need a cheap microwave that is gonna last. Found it in this panasonic microwave. Will buy again if this one ever breaks down. Thumbs up.

I like this microwave! It is similar to my old one but larger.

This oven is slightly smaller than my old microwave, but works very well.

I really like the Panasonic microwave oven. It is much better than the previous one I had. Much easier to use.

Great microwave oven. Easy to use. Has all the basic functions you'll ever need in a microwave.

Awesome microwave with a big capacity. Cook very well and easy to use.

My review is centered on the machine/human interface, The operating performance of the microwave is fine. Let's start with the interior light. It is very weak. That combined by the dark tinted front shield and highly reflective surface, it isn't likely you will be able to see the food inside the oven unless the kitchen lights are off and it's night time. Likewise, the digital readout during cooking can be read so long as you are about 3 feet from the readout. Once you have typed in your cooking time and power level and hit Start you have no way to review what power level you set in. If you wondered if you had made a mistake in the power level, you must restart the process because the digital readout only shows the cooking time remaining and no power level setting. Even with the number keypad present, you cannot press "3" on the keypad if you wanted a low power setting. Instead, you click the Power key 7 times to effectively get the power setting of "3". There is no way to know these things ahead of time unless you download the user manual and read it carefully.
