    This is a great microwave, and I love the dial function. It heats more than one plate of food at a time in less time than other microwaves. The sensor cook is also a great function. I would recommend this to anyone.

    We decided to try this Microwave with Inverter technology. So far so good. It is a lot quieter than any other microwave we have owned and it is built strong. This microwave does not pulse on and off like traditional microwaves. This one should last us a long time!

    The microwave works fine. It is confusing to use a dial and not punch in the time. It is also constantly dirty. every singe finger print shows :/ It does cook your food though....

    This an awesome microwave! The best purchase this year. It heats food extremely fast. Please measure your space because it is huge and it barely fit into the microwave nook/space.

    So far this is the best microwave. The functions are great. The only thing we have to keep an eye on is the reheat sensor, it heats the food a little too much. But it's an awesome microwave. Very easy for my 5 year old and 3 year old to operate when they need to.

    We use a microwave often and when our previous microwave stopped working we went to Best Buy for an updated microwave. We needed a bigger microwave with more features and Panasonic fit our needs perfectly. It cooks fast and thorough with no "cold spots". Great product!

    This is a great microwave looks and works great and the power is excellent. I would have given it 5-stars except for the fact that the interior light is quite dim and makes it difficult to see inside the oven when it is working. Other than that everything is excellent, very happy with this purchase.

    At first I was a little apprehensive about the controls but it turned out to be simple to use. The automatic sensor, especially for reheating, is marvelous. I have baked potatoes, cooked fresh and frozen vegetables, melted butter and heated donuts. So far everything has turned out great.

    This is the best microwave I've ever owned. The preset features actually work! The sensor cooking for potatoes cooks correctly- most create bricks that are too dry. The sensor reheat does a great job. It has a carousel and is easy to clean.

    Just got this microwave this past week. I didn't think I would like the knob, instead of pushing buttons, but I really like it. It heats really quick, better than my last microwave. Interior is really large.

    We had purchased several other microwaves from different stores and didn't have any luck with them. Since we have purchased this one from Best Buy, we have not had one single probem.

    Great microwave and looks great. The door closes rather loudly but otherwise is a wonderful appliance so far. It was a perfect fit replacing our old built in. There's supposed to be a way to turn off the beep when pressing buttons, but I can't figure it out and the manual is pretty useless.

    we decided to get the same microwave that we had before. It is easy to set up, operate, clean and large enough to make something in a large casserole. I would recommend.

    Love the turn knob control to set cooking time. Prefer that over the standard keypad control. Nice powerful unit as well. The stainless steel finish is attractive but does not resist fingerprints as much as I would like. Not a big deal though.

    Features on this mircowave are better than our old one. The wife was not happy about the controls at first until she discovered how easy everything was to operate on this unit. Best mircowave I have ever had so far. Thanks
