Best Microwave you can buy!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best microwave in the world! We have had ours for 4 years now. It is used heavily by a family of (4) who are at home more than we should be lol. This machine cooks very fast, and has not failed! I love this microwave.

Works well but some things feel cheap
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The interior light is small and dim. The interior is grey enamel instead of stainless and makes things seem even dimmer. The knob is a great way to set the time but it feels flimsy and doesn’t rotate smoothly. It doesn’t remember preferences through power outages and the only chance to set them is the first time you touch it after power is restored. It’s powerful, relatively intuitive to use and has decent, but not overwhelming, cooking options.

Simple easy to use Microwave!

Great Microwave, But Don't Like the Model Updates
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the last Panasonic with Inverter over ten years ago, and when it came time to replace it, we did with the same type Inverter model. It always worked well and heated food up very evenly, which is the most important feature. The last one was essentially trouble-free. Minor fixes, due to age, such as light bulbs or door switch were easily done. Easy to use and the various options such as defrosting and power levels are something we use all the time. However ... the dark grey interior is awful as it is hard to see what needs cleaning, unless that was the plan! Also, the new "no" watt light with the combination of the dark interior, which does not provide light reflection, add to make it extremely difficult to look inside to view the cooking progress, especially heating liquids, as the cooking time varies. Whoever had these great improvement ideas needs to be given a "bad puppy" reprimand. Why changes for the sake of changes? Don't fix what works. Overall a great microwave and would recommend it, having used other microwaves made by other companies over the years that did not come close to the even cooking of foods and ease of use as this one.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Microwave seems to perform well. I am somewhat familiar with this brand and used this purchase to replace a 4 year old Panasonic that quit working. The cooking features are great. However, the lack of of a bright interior light really distracts from this item. For this I did deduct one star, giving this 4 out of 5 stars.

Terrific Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the largest capacity microwaves. It’s my second one. The first lasted about 10 years. It heats food evenly and it’s very quick. Do not like the child lock but can be programmed to bypass it. First one came damaged.

Panasonic 2.2 Cu. Ft. Microwave works very well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave works very well. I like the use of a knob to set the temperature instead of a keypad. It requires pressing the Timer/Clock button to unlock the door before it can be opened (a lock is apparently required on new units) and that function could have been marked better.

Power At Your Fingertips
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This big hulking machine is a beast at zapping your food to molten lava in seconds. What else do microwaves do other than giving you power at the push of a button. It also pops popcorn, so thats a plus.

Good Microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this has been a good Microwave. Very similar to our previous one, so we did not have to learn a lot of new buttons. If you are replacing an old one, note the child lock. It is a bit of a pain until you figure it out.

Excellent microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent microwave. The light is a little dim like others have said but you can still see inside when the food is cooking. Heats everything up extremely fast. Just be careful of the popcorn button. You will need to stop it 30 seconds prior so that it doesn’t burn.
