    Love this MW -- dial makes it very easy to get the exact desired time, while heating through perfectly. This is even true on something simple like a beverage. It also works beautifully to defrost meat from the freezer -- better than any I've seen. And it has that same large capacity to reheat / cook leftovers. Definitely recommend.

    Great Full-Size Microwave at a Reasonable Price

    We bought this Panasonic Microwave to replace a 18 years old Sharp build-in. The price was very reasonable. It is working well so far and I love the appearance very much. The only complaints I have would be the noise and the price for the frame kit . It is much louder than my old Sharp. And the fact that the build-in frame kit is more expensive than the microwave itself is just ridiculous.

    Im very happy that our old microwave crapped out bc it allowed me to buy this fancy new microwave! Gone are the days of scalding hot on the outside and cold on the inside! Everything also cooks in half the time not even at full power then my other microwave. 5 stars!

    I had to replace my Panasonic microwave which I had purchased from Best Buy nearly 15 years ago. I was very happy to discover the same model was still made and that one was available. With only some minor changes, it’s the same Panasonic Prestige I originally owned, a tribute I think to how well-designed and functional the original was. It’s a model with extremely well thought out controls that are so intuitive written instructions are hardly necessary. My first one performing timed flawlessly until it failed, which after 15 years seems a pretty great bargain. I would personally highly recommend this model to anyone.

    Had a Panasonic Inverter before

    I think Panasonic is the only "INVERTER" Microwave made. If you set it at 50% power it cooks at 50% power All the time. Most Microwaves set at 50% power cook with a full blast at 100 % power for half the time and off for half the time. The Panasonic Inverter cooks at a constant power level.

    We have gone through 3 Panasonic table top microwave with similar size and features during the last 20 years. They are easy to use and has plenty of 1250 watts heating power. The last unit has a switch porblem that may be fixed but the cost is prohibitive unless DIY. It has been used heavily so I think we got our money worth. I hope this one will last at least 10 years, only time will tell.

    BIG, also cooks food to molten lava (if wanted) 1250 WATTS !!! I feel like buying another one as backup for when/if this one EVER dies ! because I'm so afraid they might discontinue this model in the future. I have NEVER EVER seen any other microwave with a dial for setting the cook time 'digitally', yes I know back in the day they had the dial setting but not for doing it digitally.
