4 out of 5 stars Nice oven with a few drawbacks   July 6, 2008
Sunny Daze (Alabama)
Our twelve-year-old Kenmore finally died. After a lot of research, we finally decided on this brand and model.

Pros:
This is a large oven. Anything that doesn't fit probably should not be cooked in a microwave anyway. It is a powerful oven. Things that took 90 seconds in our old oven only take 60 seconds in this one. Function programming allows you to turn the clock on/off and the beeper on/off (see Cons). Operating noise is very low. Full-power cooking requires only setting cook time and pressing start. The "Sensor Reheat" function works well as long as your food is not covered (and anything with tomato products or beans probably should be covered).

Cons:
Our biggest complaint is the noise it creates when closing the door. This produces a very loud, tinny clang that can be heard all through the house.

Although it is a large oven, it is lightweight and quite often pushing the door release will slide the entire oven backwards.

Changing the power level requires pressing the power level button multiple times - e.g., defrosting at 30% level requires pushing the power level eight times. Our old oven required only two - power level and 3 on the keypad.

Likewise, setting nine minutes on the "Quick Min" function requires pushing the "Quick Min" button nine times and then pressing start. Our old oven required only pushing "Quick Cook" and 9 on the keypad (without having to press start).

The keypad had no tactile feel. If you turn off the beep function, you need to pay close attention to the display to make sure the key you pressed actually activated. Turning off the beep function also turns off the end-of-cycle beep. Since the end-of-cycle beep is not nearly as loud and irritating as our old oven, we chose to leave this function "on."

Conclusion:
Although not perfect, we are satisfied overall after using this unit for two months. Based on a number of other reviews, we did purchase the extended warranty.



3 out of 5 stars If you need a GIANT microwave...   July 3, 2008
Sandra K. (Minden, NV)
It's VERY nice looking. It's HUGE. (You can fit a turkey in there!) It's, also, occasionally blowing the fuse in our break room. Be careful to use the popcorn button, or turn the heat down to 7. If not, you're going to burn your popcorn.


5 out of 5 stars Panasonic Micro Wave Oven   May 22, 2008

An excellent microwave oven. Haven't had time to use it much yet but I have a lot of faith in Panasonic products.


1 out of 5 stars If you must buy this, you must also buy a 2 year replacement plan.   March 7, 2008

Purchased August 20, 2006. Failed within 19 months (March 2008). It makes an electrical arcing sound (similar to a Jacob's Ladder, often seen in cheesy Sci-Fi flicks) and emits a burning smell from an unknown source, and shuts itself off before even 10 seconds pass of cooking on high. No foreign metal has been placed inside, instructions have been followed to the letter, and very little shaking has been done to it.

Putting the sensor reheat/sensor cook (a must) together with the good reviews at the time, I bought it.

Unfortunately it seems not enough work was put into solidifying the electrical system, due to what essentially was a fire in my case, and I suspect exactly the same for reviewer VLG "VLG" (Enid, OK).

Due to my experience, VLG's review (fire), John H. Stoufer's review (died), and Deb's comment on said review (2 in less than 3 years), I would advise AGAINST purchasing this model, as all units seem built to fail within 2 years.



5 out of 5 stars We love our Panasonic microwave!   December 30, 2007
Ronald R. Smith (Brooktown USA)
We've had this Panasonic model for about a month, now.
Our last really good microwave was a Panasonic. It lasted for 12 years. Then we tried other brands, some that broke days after the warranty ran out, and never really worked that well, when when they were working. Expensive models, too.
This one is remarkably low priced, and does everything you want a microwave for, if you are not wanting convection cooking, as well... which we do not need. And it is a roomy 2.2 cubic feet, inside!
We are so pleased with this Panasonic microwave. It is simple to use. Easy to program. Even keeps food warm after it is done!
It even reheats evenly on the sensor reheat mode, which is a first for us.
The defrosting mode works remarkably well, quickly defrosting ground meat without cooking it, which is more than I can say about the other models.
I really hope that it is as durable as the other Panasonics that we have owned.
