    excellent microwave I've had its twin for over ten years, 1250 watts heats extra quick, decided to take my old one that still works fine and install it at my rental.

    Good large size and powerful, but the knob turning to the desired heating time is a little imprecise and difficult to use. Overall, it's a good microwave and we are pleased.

    So far so good. Wasn't a fan of setting time using a dial but it's not bad as I thought it was going to be. Just takes some getting used to. Microwave looks elegant & modern. Heats everything like a 1250 watt microwave should.

    Most microwaves have a digital keypad to operate, this Panasonic unit has a knob-type dial to enter the cooking time. All other buttons are self explanatory for power level, quick minute, etc. Impressive 2.2 cu. ft. interior and 1,250 watts. Very pleased with the unit, it meets all of my expectations.

    This microwave was a great buy. I like to uselarge casserole dishes to cook and reheat. This easily accommodates even my largest dish. It heats quickly and evenly. The turbo defrost works great. No complaints so far.

    Exceptional microwave oven. Cooks even and fast. Has numerous settings and even has a food sensor setting to automatically set the time, based on the density of the food. The only negative, if you'd call it one, is it is large. So make sure you have the counter space. With that said, the extra large cooking area is great!

    works great, heats things up more quickly than other microwaves that I've owned. Little worried about longevity as this is my 2nd one in 5 yrs, I would think they last longer than that

    Microwave offers top notch performance. Our previous home had the microwave builtin and was the first time I had ever used the inverter technology. Was so impressed when we remodel the kitchen in our new home we purchased the same microwave because of the excellent performance. You will not be disappointed!

    It is a very polite appliance, tells me to enjoy my meal once the timer is done. Works well. I haven't tried out all of the features yet but so far it does the job.

    Good microwave that quickly and evenly cooks food. The defrost capability is very nice and prepares your frozen food so it cooks evenly. This is a replacement of the same microwave we purchased 4 years ago, so a repeat purchase should show how much we like this unit. Easy to use its multiple functions.

    The cartons for several units @ the Ann Arbor MI store were heavily damaged; we did find this one that was OK. As noted, the door swings TOO freely and can/will knock things out of its way. The finish is good, but the unit is quite loud. BUT, it does the job of heating, reheating, defrosting...just like it should. I'd rate the unit satisfactory; serves the purpose.

    I've been using this microwave for over a month. It works very well and heats up food quickly. I had an LG microwave and it began to malfunction after a couple of months. This microwave costs less and works better.

    This microwave looks as good as it is easy to use. I love the quick dial knob and the quick select mechanical buttons. It has the old world charm and the solid Panasonic name. The large capacity is also a plus as my other built-in microwave is much smaller. It is a 4-star only because it does not have the stainless steel interior.

    This is a great microwave by Panasonic that not only functions well as a stand-alone unit, it also looks beautiful and feels like quality. Something about turning the knob to set the "quick timer" and seeing the blue lights and timer come to life that makes this appliance almost feel like a hi-fi stereo component.
