    We owned a Panasonic inverter microwave before this it was smaller. It lasted close to 10 years. So I wanted to stick with the same thing when I bought a new one, saw this in the store and got it. In less than a year it already has several problems. The door sticks when I open it, I have to use both hands to open it. Seems like a piece inside near the door is broken. I can deal with that issue but it also doesn't function properly. The motor for the carousel plate is already damaged...it stutters and makes lots of noise. Doesn't spin the food correctly. The whole microwave seems cheaply made with bad parts. I would love to give this a better review because I lived my old Panasonic inverter like I said it lasted a long time and was made to last. This is just cheap junk thrown together and sold at higher price.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I would not buy this microwave again. Yes, it is powerful enough, but the ease of use just isn't there. The interior light is the tiniest little light I have ever seen. It may as well not be there. There is no way to use the microwave in the dark, as the panel of buttons does not light up. Turning the micro on requires pushing more buttons than what should be necessary. I want my Breville microwave back!

      Hi Mattie! We're so glad you're enjoying the new features, and that the safety lock is making a difference for you. It's great to hear when thoughtful details are appreciated. If you haven’t tried the quick 30-second function yet, it’s perfect for fast heating without any fuss. - S Panasonic

    Turntable drive defect

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We have had two substantially identical Panasonic models before this one, and we loved them so much we wanted another one. But the model(s) we had before were no longer available and this was the closest one in the size we needed. It had a manufacturing defect, though; it made a loud, repeating clicking sound for about ten seconds when the turntable started and then for about fifteen seconds when the turntable stopped, indicating slippage occurring in the inner workings of the turntable drive system. We returned it and bough a Hamilton Beach model which was HALF the price and has had no problems whatsoever.

    Our Panasonic microwave developed rust and peeling finish inside the microwave ceiling (everywhere else looks new). Totally unsafe for cooking. Microwave still works but i wont cook in it with peeling finish which is flaking off with rust appearing underneath. Terrible quality. I used to trust Panasonic...now ill stay away .

    Had to return this microwave as it was making a stutter noise whenever we pressed start. Best Buy made it a breeze to return. Brought it back without the box and just my online receipt. They didn’t have an exact replacement in stock, but I got a comparable one which I love!(samsung)
