I own a kitchen design firm and I was looking for a non-left hand swing micro for a client. I came across this model online and was intrigued by the look and features this offered. Then ironically, my own personal micro died, so I bought this one for myself, figuring I could give a first hand review to my client.
It's simply the best microwave I've come across in my 30 years in business. It's engineered the way you would want it to be. No fuss, no extra, useless features. Just works great and has what you need a microwave to have.
Plus it looks great and has an excellent footprint so it doesn't demand a lot of space on the counter but still has excellent capacity.
And the interior is fantastic as well. Easy to clean, no nooks or crevices to collect grime and NO TURNTABLE!
Can't say enough good things about this appliance. I have recommended it many times to my clients all with similar results. Good job Panasonic.

Very Happy to have made the plunge to replace the gigantic over the range microwave with this smaller, newer technology. With only a little trepidation I jumped in and learned a few useful steps and now it is my favorite thing in the kitchen. Love the look, the drop down door and how easy it is to keep clean with just a quick wipe down. The heat sensing is perfect, which means no more messy spills.
I would recommend this to a friend!

There haven’t been any improvements in microwave since they were first invented. This one is easy to operate, heats evenly and has a soft clothes feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

wow! I must say I hope this is the future of microwaves. With other microwaves, I always heated my food at lower power so it wouldn't heat it so fast. No need for that now, just put your food in and hit start. I don't have to think about visitors who automatically hit 3 min and walk away. It senses when the food/beverage it hot and stops. No more covering most food items. Some bowls will heat up really hot so be weary of that and test each one until you get the hang of it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had the microwave for maybe a month now. Last week, I started having issues when using the sensor heat. No matter what setting it's on, when using sensor heat, it often (more often each day) turns on for 2 seconds only and then turns off. I try to use the stop/reset button without effect. I have to keep unplugging the oven to reset it to use it at all. The microwave seems to be working, for now. Totally unimpressive for a supposedly higher-quality oven, with the price tag to prove it?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear the sensor heat function has been inconsistent and frustrating to use, especially after only a month. We appreciate your detailed feedback, and we understand how disappointing this feels given your expectations for the microwave’s quality and price.
