Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We bought this unit to fit into an under-counter space vacated by a similar-sized Panasonic microwave that died after a few years.
The unit does cook as promised but has some drawbacks that caused us to downgrade it as follows:
1) This is the WORST display we have ever seen on any product. It can only be read looking head-on (in not too bright ambient light). From any other angle, the numbers are virtually invisible or overlapped by the interior display "wires". Because we have an under-counter installation, we need to go down on one knee to read the display.
2) There are too many buttons - too many "bells and whistles"; too much clutter. We see no use for breakfast, lunch and dinner buttons each with its own time limit (and with ability to add/subtract time).As with the display, the user needs to be at eye level to read the button labels and figure out what to push.
3) The interior light only works during cooking; opening the door does not turn on the light. Accordingly (again an eye level issue), it is sometimes necessary to remove the food to inspect it.
4) The door opener is push-button. This is a matter of personal preference, but we would prefer a handle - easer to open; doesn't trap food; stays cleaner.
In summary, this is probably the only microwave that fits in our alloted space but somebody at Panasonic really needs to learn how to design a more user-friendly product.

With 1300 watts of power, this family-size countertop microwave oven provides an array of convenient features. The unit's one-touch sensor cooking automatically adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times for cooking or reheating various food items. For defrosting foods even faster than with the auto-defrost feature, the microwave's inverter turbo-defrost technology distributes microwave energy in a new and more efficient way, resulting in quicker, more thorough defrosting. A pulsing delivery of very low microwave power keeps the temperature of food at a constant level without overcooking. The improved keep-warm menu now includes five items, so foods like stew, gravy, and desserts can stay warm in the oven until they're ready to be served. In addition, the microwave provides a spacious 1-1/5-cubic-foot epoxy interior with a 13-1/2-inch automatic turntable for even heating. Other highlights include a four-digit display panel, 15 auto-cook menu items, five cooking stages, 10 power levels, delay start, and a timer, as well as a popcorn key, quick minute, and more/less control. The microwave oven measures 15-15/16 by 20-3/8 by 11-7/8 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.
