Out of the box, the microwave performed well. It was easy to operate. It does not reheat as hot as I would like for certain foods, but that is a minor issue. I can just add 30-seconds! Once we get use to its idiosyncrasies, there should be no issue. The "noise" some folks refer to is the fan circulating and expelling the heat. For me this makes for an even heat on the food item and cools down the interior so the unit doesn't overheat. Overall, the price, and performance make this an excellent buy.

Purchased for my grandma. Barely lasted 6 months. Her prior one, GE lasted 8 years. Plate cracked and microwave was arcing. After 3 weeks of trying to have Panasonic fix it, decided to go buy a new one. Stay away from Panasonic, since they won't stand behind their product.

Love this microwave...Have bought 3 of them. Each last about 1 year. Purchased this one once more after taking a break from the brand. (bought a $50 no name it lasted several years) Decided to give Panasonic another try, purchased this 7/22/20 it quit working 7/21/21 still under 1 year warranty. Tried online chat with Panasonic over an hour with two different agents. Was disconnected both times. Will not purchase another Panasonic. My microwave was manufactured May 2020 in China.

This Panasonic is replacing an over 10 year old model. Previously model was very reliable and great features. This model has all the refinements and features that I need from my microwave. I like the stainless steel finish on the door, and the gray cabinet. The only issue that my oven has is the case cabinet finish has a blemish that doesn't affect its operation, and is not noticeable. Overall a great and versatile microwave oven.

according to experts a microwave oven I supposed to last 9 years. my PANASONIC 1.6--1250 watt oven lasted just that long. I could tell because I started to lose power very slowly. it would take 5 min to cook something that used to take 3 min to cook. this micro wave has all the features and 1250 watts ---a 15 in glass turn table and 1.6 cu ft of space. Sams Club has the best price so im buying another one. you cant go wrong with this product. jf something does go wrong just take it back to SAMS CLUB . don't have to mess with return shipping

Very powerful and even heating. Rapid defrost. The sensor works great. You can heat frozen entrees on sensor without stopping and stirring. Also works great for potatoes and fresh veggies. My morning oatmeal took 4 minutes in our old oven, 2:45 in this one.

Works great

Kept shutting off early, then finally died under warranty. There are many microwave repair shops near me, but none certified by Panasonic within 50 miles. I could have shipped it, but I would have to pay the cost, which was more than the item is worth. Don't buy anything with the name "Panasonic" on it.

Bought two of these to sit on each end of a dining room coffee bar. The touch screen is easy to read for older folks. Two new circuits installed to supply power to each unit. They look real nice sitting on a quartz counter top.The focal point is a Kuereg coffee maker in the middle of the bar.
