Great microwave. Confusing buttons.
Great microwave. Super sleek looking. Tons of space inside. Buttons are impossible to understand. I just end up using the 30 seconds button.

Great size, evenly distributed head throughout foo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave met all my needs. It was super easy to set up, quite roomy inside with a turntable that was closer to 16+ inches in diameter. Maintenance is a breeze, with a simple wide down after every few uses it was enough to keep it tidy. Controls were easy to use and understand, even though it does not look like a regular microwave does with a number pad. I like the child lock on the side, as it gave me peace of mind, specially with littles around the house. The microwave was quite powerful and it evenly heated foods. It seems durable, not that I expected any less form such a well known brand. Panasonic is certainly household name in our family.

Very large microwave!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow this thing is a beast! It is very large for a counter top microwave. It does a lot of things! I must say it is a bit complicated! It heats well and is fairly quiet when in use

Control temp feature is wonderful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how you can control the temperature, it is very reliable and seems to be made out of durable material. Cleaning wise, it seems to show some fingerprints but nothing extreme. Quick one and it’s all gone. Even temperatures when food is out! So far so good The size is large, could definitely take up some space, set up is very easy to none existent

Bad features
This would be better off with a standard number control panel instead of the dumb slide time. Also the micro led light is worthless it doesn’t even light up the interior and once the black glass door is closed you can’t even see inside when it’s on.

Excellent microwave, replaced an older model
This replaced a 14 year old Panasonic Microwave. The longevity of that caused me to look at Panasonic first and the reviews for this model were very good. While the transition from an old machine to this is somewhat vexing, it’s worth the time. Very happy with this purchase.

Hi Steve! Thank you for choosing Panasonic once again, it’s wonderful to hear our previous microwave served you well for 14 years! We understand that transitioning to a new model can take some getting used to, and we truly appreciate your patience and trust. We're delighted to know you're happy with your purchase and hope this new microwave becomes just as dependable a part of your kitchen for years to come.

Do not buy
Do not buy. Threw a H98 code a year and a half after purchase. Dead and Panasonic states it's outside of warranty so they won't support a repair.

User Interface Sucks!!!
Congratulations to Panasonic for creating the most complicated user interface human kind has come up with yet. There is no digital keypad as one would expect from any other microwave, but an unclear set of hieroglyphics with an abstruse set of codes that you have to memorize to cook your food. Quinoa is number 5 while brown rice is code 15...give me a @#$@#$@# break!!!! My life is complicated enough. No thanks. Returned and bought a Breville.

Inverter cooking is amazing, so is the sensor cook. Cooks the perfect baked potato with sensor cook. Pay the extra money you won't regret it. Best microwave I've ever had!
