    Was skeptical buying a new microwave. Reviewed several models. My GE stopped working after 20 years. It was 1600 watts. Can't find those now, decided to try Panasonic. So far, it's been great and even though it's only 1250 watts it heats and cooks faster than my old one - probably because of the new technology. Happy with product so far.

    I have had this for a month now. I thought I would not like the dial but I do. It is easy to work. Microwave does a good job of heating up my food and glass bowls are very hot. not like my old microwave. I have tried the sensor cook a few times and it did nto work that well. One time it burned my steak and the other time food was still cold. Over all I am happy with it so far.

    another great Panasonic microwave

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

    our last Panasonic microwave lasted about 20 years, my wife decided it was time for a new one because the glass window was so dirty that steel wool no longer worked [completely] and two small spots had paint missing (we have moved twice so that may be some of the wear and tear)... the microwave still worked fine... so we bought one for our daughter about 5 years ago and her Panasonic still works great and so far our new Panasonic works great.... at my age, this may well be the last microwave I have to purchase!!!

    I bought this as an open box and got a great deal on it. once I got it home out of the box I knew I was buying a big microwave but I had no idea! Luckily I had the perfect spot, but this is a really really big microwave. has a rotating plate and can fit just about anything. It heats extremely quickly; a lot faster than my last microwave. I find myself heating things for half the time or else they are scalding hot. Beautiful stainless steel as well. I'd give it 5 stars but it is EXTREMELY big and takes up a lot of space which may be too big for most families needs or space.

    Great microwave with large capacity

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

    Large size capacity with high cooking wattage makes for fast cooking times. The Inverter technology helps to cook and or warm the food evenly by actually reducing the about of energy used vs just turning power off and on. Very clean modern look for any kitchen. The interior light makes for better viewing of how the job is going , but the wire mess in the glass door makes seeing inside a little hard to see, despite the lighted interior.

    Inverter is a great feature. Shortcut keys are useful. Intuitive to use. Very powerful machine. Stainless steel is nice looking. This is our 2nd one. The first lasted a long time...about seven years of heavy use. This is an exact duplicate of the previous. When researching for a new microwave, when we saw same model was still available, we looked no further.

    Easy to use microwave oven

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

    This is an extremely easy to use microwave oven of excellent quality and great features such as "sensor reheat" which is great for reheating leftovers by pushing a couple of buttons without worrying about your meal getting over cooked. It also has replaced the traditional numerical pad for a digital knob with makes it really easy to use and gives you the confidence that it will last for much longer than a pad.

    So easy to operate and a nice big size to fit my large square plates. I had one previously which lasted almost 12 years and the only think that went out was the internal light. Wish they had an adjustable stainless steel kit to make it more like a built in.
