Defective, dim display.

I bought this microwave about a month ago. Upon first use, there was a pop and then it stopped working. The display was also quite dim. I returned it. I was surprised because Panasonic ovens are usually highly rated.

It is huge!

This is one of the nicest Microwaves I have ever used. Plus the size is tremendous. I can microwave a whole meal in this thing! It works so efficiently too. Love the sensor cook options.

Large, powerful, functional and reliable microwave

Large, powerful and functional. I had an almost identical unit that started malfunctioning (after years of great operation) by shutting off after a few seconds. It seemed to be localized to the control panel, which had membrane switches. I was reluctant to buy the same brand but found this unit actually priced less than the cost of the original. Upon setting it up, I was delighted to discover it had discreet pushbuttons on the control panel and should be much more reliable. So far very pleased with this purchase.

Taking Microwave to the Next Level

The inverter technology lets you fine-tune the strength of the microwaves. Instead of just dialing in the time, you dial in the Time and Level. This lets you heat foods more precisely and delicately. For example, if you use a lower strength level, the heat has time to disperse through the food instead of leaving the outside (i.e. edges) overcooked and the inside underdone. So the food when properly cooked - strength level AND time - comes out of the oven with even heat. This is much easier to accomplish than to explain. A little experimentation will lead you to the settings to get whatever foods you microwave exactly tailored to your preferences. My only concern is that the device has sharper corners than optimal.

It's Really BIG

I was looking for a larger microwave, but I couldn't picture in my head how big 2.2 cubic feet would be...it's huge (and that's not a bad thing)! The 1250 watts makes it 25% stronger than my last microwave, so I'm still getting used to that much power. The auto-cook feature tends to overheat my foods, so I don't let it finish before I check it. It's a great microwave!

Great value for the money

We needed a microwave quick because ours just stopped working. Our replacement had to fit in a cabinet that the old one came out of. So far we like this. Great value for the money. My only complaint is that the display for the clock is not very bright at all. We can barely see it if you’re standing right in front of it. But the performance of the appliance is great.

Very big, but that’s just what we wanted

Our older large capacity microwave died and reviews (plus consumer reports) lead us to this microwave. So far, all is great! The defrosting is very even for large capacity roasts and smaller items. The manual power level settings have plenty of room for my largest bowls of dough when I want to rapid rise. It has the auto settings and the manual power settings that I use often. I haven’t found anything to complain about yet. Love it but as I said it is big! Measure your spot first!

Heavy duty countertop oven

Purchased for temp use while I shop for a new built in unit and stove for my kitchen. More powerful than my previous microwave. I don’t use it a lot, but it works really well. Really roomy inside and sturdier than some models I looked at in a different store.

Not enough “short cut” buttons.

My elderly father had trouble using this microwave because unlike virtually every other microwave on the market, this one does not offer one touch minute buttons, such as pressing the number three to give you an instant three minutes for example. It takes a couple more steps to start the microwave for those short minute examples. We had to return it because it was too confusing for him.

I really do love this new microwave oven!

We purchased the Panasonic 2.2 cu. ft. Microwave Oven as a replacement for a smaller replacement oven that only lasted a little over a month that we had purchased from Walmart. (The old microwave that we had used for years finally died and it was about the same size as this new Panasonic.) I really love the size of the oven cavity. I can use a 9”x13” dish to bake cakes and it easily clears the sidewalls and rests perfectly on the large glass turntable! The turntable can handle heavy glass casseroles and pans without hesitating and making a lot of noise like the first smaller replacement microwave oven from Walmart. This is a large microwave and it takes up more room on the countertop than the one we used for years, but the size makes the oven more versatile as one can prepare large quantities of recipes using older microwave cookbooks that were written in the 1970’s and 1980’s. I have not noticed any undue overheating of the outside of the oven, or of the interior of the oven. The lighted interior is a plus that our old microwave oven did not have. The noise level is about average for microwave ovens. I have been using my old microwave cookbooks and we are enjoying a variety of dishes that I previously would have had to bake in our conventional oven. Living in the Desert Southwest, I avoid the regular oven when it is hot, which is much of the year. This new microwave oven is convent to use, the digital display is easy to read, and foods reheat and also cook evenly. I recommend this oven for someone who enjoys cooking, wants to save time in the kitchen, and would prefer a larger size microwave oven for preparing larger quantities than smaller units allow.
