    This has been the very best of microwaves we have ever owned. Super great quality and craftsmanship. It does just what it says. The only thing I would say to be aware of is that if your cooking guide calls for 5 minutes on high make it 4 minutes on high.

    This is my second one of this exact model. The first one lasted many years, and when I began to have problems with the original one, I replaced it with a newer version of the oven. It evenly warms all foods and the inverter technology is great.

    I bought this to replace a 10-year old Panasonic microwave with the same capacity. I was delighted to see that its external dimensions where exactly the same, so it fit into the 10-year old wall-mounted trim piece that worked with my previous Panasonic (its inverter died)

    I bought this for my office kitchenette, and it's used every week day. I wasn't sure if i was going to like the turn dial, but it's not hard to get used it. There are so many functions that i need to learn about, though.

    Very nice microwave. Only thing I would change is the fact that it uses a dial to select the time, rather than push buttons. You have to dial up, and then adjust to get the time length you want; with buttons, you just push the time you want and no need to correct it. More direct. But I'm getting used to it.

    The "Sensor Reheat" function on this microwave is Fantastic! Very few buttons necessary to push when reheating anything. The turn/twist dial for setting the cook time is super easy and fast to use, too. Definitely would buy this microwave again! Way to go, Panasonic!!!

    I've owned many inexpensive microwaves and they all seem to last about 2 years. This is the second time I've purchased this model. First one lasted 6 years and I expect this one to last just as long

    We owned an earlier version of this model. It finally died. HOWEVER, this model features a light inside the oven, making it easier to see the completeness of a dish. Lots of room for casseroles and large platters. Easy to clean. A valued member of our kitchen!

    We had a similar microwave and lasted 10years, so naturally bought the same model, just very few differences: 1.changes in the display and 2. Led light in the oven, (I really like it as it is very clear to see inside from far)

    Love the knob to set the time rather than punching in the numbers. Inverter technology really works as everything is always evenly heated / cooked. Nice looking microwave. Only issue is that the finish beep doesn't stop when you open the door. Minor annoyance.

    This was a replacement for the one that the switch stopped working on after 5 years. We use it a great deal and love the simple control format. It has the largest capacity that we could find and easily handles a large casserole dish.

    This was a replacement for a 30+ year old Panasonic which was still working. I love the Sensor cooking and Sensor reheating. The dial adjustment is a nice feature. It has great features and at a reasonable price.

    This panasonc is almost identical to the one it replace that I purchased in 1999. It has dials instead of buttons and the sensor cook codes have changed but other wise it is the same.

    I have an over the oven microwave which is decent. I gave up my old Panasonic when I moved. I bought a new one and have barely used my other microwave. My niece misses her old Panasonic too. The sensory reheat is fantastic.

    I love my new microwave! My only concern is that you need to put something under the feet in order to prevent it from sliding. I do not have it against any wall, it sits on a microwave cart. Other than that it's great!

    I wanted a microwave that could help with defrosting. This one had the latest technology for that. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have a 30 second button--only a 1 minute button. Once I got used to using the dial for 30 seconds, that was no longer a problem!

    This is a replacement for a similar microwave from Panasonic. I am not good at reviews, so suffice to say this purchase exceeded my expectations. The new microwave is superior to the old, but similar model. I do not think you can go wrong if you need the 2.2 cubic feet of cooking space.
