So far it has proved to be reliable. The BIG problem is getting it registered
1. A full power quick start button
2. A 800w setting. 1000w is great but most packs show 900/800w and the product features several lower settings but jumps from 1000 to 600w.
I’d still recommend buying it!
We are quite happy with the Panasonic Microwave Oven, now that we’ve had it for a month. It is a bit bigger than our last one, always nice, and very quiet when operating.
The defrost feature, called “Chaos defrost” doesn’t seem to be different than any previous microwave defrost. It will still cook some of the defrosting items, but it works fine.
We’re happy with our purchase.
When we moved home we decided to replace our old microwave which was 20+ years old. This was perfect for accommodating large dinner plates so we bought it. It’s tricky to get used to the controls at first but we’ve managed i
At 1000 watts it’s hard to work out the timings. Too easy to over cook items. I mainly use the 600 watt setting and up the timing a bit from my old 850 watt microwave.
It is just out of the box once we have used the Microwave I will tell you what I think. Thank You
As yet haven’t been able to use it. Thought it was good value for money and I’m looking forward to using it when I can get hold of the appropriate glass plate. It looks good on my work top and exactly what I wanted size wise. Contacted Amazon and got no response. Also contacted Panasonic said they would send me the product number to enable to buy another one but as yet, a week later, no response. Would really like to use the microwave but can’t comment on it working as yet.
Don’t think there is anything to dislike. I’ve had Panasonic before and all been good.
brought to replace old existing Panasonic which had decided to pack up after having it for many years. This is the reason for purchasing another of the same brand. Not disappointed, fast, efficient to use and simple controls. Would recommend.
I’ve always been a Samsung fan but when the rotary dials on my microwave failed I opted for a Panasonic. I’m glad I did, it’s very quiet, has a good instruction book, uncomplicated to use, variable settings up to 1000w (adjust your cooking times down). The only thing that I’m not overjoyed about is the shiny silver is very easy to mark with your fingers but it is easy to clean. I hope it lasts the 9 years that the Samsung did.
We bought this microwave to replace a previous Panasonic that had finally seen better days after 15 years. It is slightly smaller than our previous one but more powerful 1000 watt as opposed to 900. It is also quieter and has the cleaning function but the icing on the cake was Amazon stating delivery on September 2nd and it arrived on September 1s
The product was sold as simplistic but found to a little difficult for an elderly person to use
Had a 900w microwave before this one. Exactly the same microwave but only 900w.
Looks good and is exactly what we need.
Like for like replacement for more or less same make and model last one lasted 9 years
Looks fantastic . The stainless steel case and functions are clear and easy to use.
Great purchase . Good old Panasonic . Microwaves are as good as their TV S. Gail P.
This is a beautiful looking microwave and there are many ways that you can control what you cook. Everything I have cooked this far has cooked perfectly. Highly recommended.
What can I say. My old microwave was a former model of this one. I looked at so many as a replacement and still went back to this. I can’t fault it. Easy to use and really powerful.
I have had this microwave for 6 weeks and so far it has been excellent. It looks good. I felt this was the best mid-range microwave I could find.
My biggest problem was allowing enough height clearance above the microwave. It’s under a wall cabinet with about 15cm clearance, and I’ve positioned it so that there’s space round about it for air circulation.
Bough this, after a lot of research. Replaced a troublesome and pretty poor Bosch. This Panasonic is way ahead of the res
Not too many buttons to confuse. Simple and straightforward. Just set power, then turn time knob and press start. Excellent results too.
We don’t use all of the functions, just the basic ones. Excellent for making porridge for breakfast. Haven’t got round to experimenting with a great variety of foods; but I’m sure we will…
Supplier replaced a seemingly faulty unit immediatly The microwave performs very well.
Bought for my elderly Mother,she finds it very easy to use and likes the look of it aswell.
Nice microwave. Does what we want, East clean and looks good.
It’s fast, powerful and easy to use. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because you can’t help but leave finger prints on the door and the open button. A small thing but it bugs me.
For :- Love the design and finish. 1000W – so higher power than most.
Against:- Clock display difficult to read unless directly in front.
The 1000W setting needs the timing of lower wattages to be decreased which is a bit awkward but do-able. The next lower setting is 600W so the reverse is needed, again an irritation as frozen foods tend to require wattages between these. But overall I’m delighted with this microwave.
I had a Panasonic oven/microwave before this purchase so trusted the brand and was not disappointed. Very efficient and easy to use once got used to following the instructions.
Great item as i would expect from this manufacturer. Great cleaning facility with aqua clean.
he old Brivelle was broken, got this as a gift: very light and powerful compare with the other one and very easy to operate!
I like Panasonic Microwaves,but this model is very noisy and is annoying!
Some of the controls are different to the last Panasonic I had, and I don’t find them quite so easy to use. However the oven works perfectly well and is very quiet in use.
Looks great and is pretty easy to use. Very nice microwave!
Considering this is 1000w, it is quiet.
Only complaint is you do have to select a power level before it will let you input a time, and considering the power level goes from 1000 to 660w, then 300 and 200w, which I thought there’d be more individual stepdowns for like 850w/750w, bit of a pointless exercise selecting power level as I always end up using 1000w anyway.
It was for my dad but he loves it. It’s very quiet.
I like that this microwave is very easy to use, looks great, very good price very happy
Well built, stylish and durable….also very quiet! Very nice product.
We’ve had Panasonic microwaves for years now and they’ve all been decent. Our last one needed replacing after a water leak above the kitchen caused a flood which rendered the microwave unsafe to use, so it was time to get a new one, and we plumped for Panasonic again.
This is a nice looking microwave and has a decent internal capacity. You program the timer via a dial which is really easy to use, and it pops in and out so doesn’t always stand proud of the front of the microwave. Each time you use it you have to press a button to set the power level, twiddle the dial, then press Start, and that’s about it. In use it is much quieter than our old one, although the turntable does squeak and creak quite a bit.
The only issue is that unlike any other microwave we’ve had in the past, it generates an awful lot of condensation, especially when you’re cooking something like a baked potato – while it is cooking there are drips of water on the worktop under the door, and when you open it a cloud of steam pours out and the whole interior is wet, so you have to wipe it down after each use. I’ve never seen a microwave generate condensation like this before.
All in all, condensation and creaky turntable aside, it’s a nice microwave.
My only complaint is that the timer will not allow you to set a time between 1.50 and two minutes, annoying because heating a hot chocolate tends to fall between the two times.
Attractive looking item. Heats food fully. Bit fiddley to use settings until you get used to it. Self cleaner element great. Have to set power setting each time you use it but overall a good item.
Took a while to get used to 1000w power but great microwave easy to use
Surprisingly quiet compared to previous device we had, a lot of different power levels to choose from, would have given 5 stars but unfortunately it has normal buttons which could be prone to dirt ingress (as opposed to a membrane which is easily cleaned and prevents dirt and liquids reaching the controls mechanisms)
This is easy to use and the most powerful micro wave I have ever used excellent all rounder as far as I’m concerned
Works a treat …. setting timer is a little trickier than it needs to be and as others have said the display is difficult to read from some angles. Overall a top performer though.
Much quieter & larger than our previous oven. Large viewing area in the door and well lit interior allows you to avoid liquids spilling over.
Being able to set the cooking time in seconds is good. We use it mostly to ‘warm’ food and milk.
Good price and sits comfortably on my dresser.
A decent oven, good looking, simple to use and does exactly what I need it to.
Front needs cleaning regularly as fingerprints show up well on the stainless steel.
I selected this mid price range microwave as I have always found Panasonic to be a good brand. The microwave is compact, takes a full size dinner plate and having read the instructions that came with it, very easy to use. Very pleased with this purchase. Would not hesitate to recommend,,.my only tip is to make sure you know the size of the largest plate you wish to use, as it comes in several sizes.
Great product. Well made and a star in the microwave world of manufacturers. Panasonic know their business and this latest model is simple, well made and does exactly what a microwave should. Quiet and precise at cooking.
Highly recommended as you pay for what you get.
Superb bit of kit, this is the second one I have bought. An excellent addition to the kitche
No complaints. This is great and super quiet. Only thing to bear in mind is that being stainless steel it does show up all finger prints
Love the speed it cooks and all overcooking very good performance only slight problem is that the printed controls on the front of the machine are small and difficult to read especially for the elderly .
This was bought for heating our large microwave kiln. The Inverter gives continual power at the level selected, not the full power on then off like conventional microwave ovens, making it great for glass fusing. Complete 6mm depth melts achieved in 20mins, my previous microwave took 50mins and has now been demoted to heating beans. It is also so much quieter than my previous machine, I am very pleased with our purchase and a great cost!
Got this on black Friday sale. Really chuffed with it’s performance. Food cooks well and evenly, looks great… can’t fault i
This is a nice – easy – and more powerful unit than the oes Ihave had in the past.. I like that it I can control the seconds with a dial.. in 10 second intervals.. it is bit different, yet so easy to get used to…
I’ve always had good experience with Sharp microwaves but they are just so darn ugly, hence Panasonic was our next option.
This model looked pretty sleek. I liked that it has a cleaning option and am looking forward to trying it to see if it is a gimmick or not.
So the positives about this microwave:
Even cooking. I mean the Bosch is laughable by comparison. It cooks faster in a short amount of time.
Stylish. It’s grey on the inside, I really like this. I like the finish of it overall, but the only part that’s stainless steel is the door and the operations panel. Perhaps a good thing since stainless can be difficult to clean.
The not so positives:
Yes it’s lightweight, so much so the thing slides when you press the button. Not a problem if you have a flat wall, but it’s a problem if you don’t, like ours; so a piece of rubber/silicon will stop it.
The inner roof isn’t flat. So whether that becomes a pain to clean remains to be seen, depends how good self clean feature is.
We’ve gotten used to its 3 step process that is: click the wattage buttons, turn the knob and hit start but some will prefer less steps to completion.
I had hoped for a flatbed but just couldn’t hit add to cart on the ugly Sharp microwave; shallow I know.
So I’m not sure I’m telling you anything new, but we like it and what’s more, it doesn’t beep more than 5 beeps at the end of cooking; that alone is worth it.
The Panasonic inverter microwave is easy to use and quieter when operating than your conventional cheaper microwave models. More importantly the extract ventilation is good and from what I can observe the cooking appears evenly done resulting in very little condensation, if any, that requires wiping from teh microwave interanl surfaces. Very satisfied with the product after 2 months of daily use.
So far so good. Very easy to use. Replacing a 32year old Panasonic microwave so hope it lasts half as well! I saw it was recommended as a best buy and luckily it was a Prime Day bargain on the day our old one finally gave up the ghos
his item replaced our 15 year old Panasonic inverter microwave–and works well–same size as original outside –but slightly smaller inside–and i would have preferred as original in white—as this stainless steel outside can take some cleaning–otherwise just hope it lasts 15 years as original–fairly pleased.
We wanted a smart, reliable, not too big and complicated, simple to use microwave primarily for reheating and defrosting – it does all of that plus some more. Though it is more expensive than some other ones with similar capabilities, we hope it will serve us well for a long time.
This was a replacement for our previous Panasonic microwave, which expired after 27 years of good service. The controls are easy to learn and the handbook is very detailed, including recipes.
Very very good microwave just a shame it doesn’t have have a 1-minute auto start button. Have to keep pressing the power level button then adjust the time
This is a great microwave with a powerful 1000w and easy to use instructions
Well worth the money
Good microwave but I have had it for a year and is now making noises when I use it which concerns me.
Small footprint, good looks, great quality, and really quiet compared to our old microwave! What’s not to like? Price is high compared to entry level machines, but for the quality it really is worth every penny.
A little smaller than I expected but does the job so far hope it lasts as long as my previous one just short of 8 years Smart looking piece of equipment at least I can make my porridge again without a burnt pan Plenty of features on it too
Quality. Lovely silver design. Easy to use. Anything Panasonic is 10/10 never disappoints.
Very disappointed with this model chose it because of the reputation of Panasonic and that I have been pleased with other same named products .
Replaced this model once as it broke after nine months ant other in the same time scale but got my money back.
It also looks beautiful. Five
Only had it a week but it seems to do what it says on the tin. As per other reviews, I wish you didn’t have to set the heat setting every time you use it AND that it didn’t default to 10 mins cooking time on High. Still very good value.
My old Bosch did not have a delay timer on it. Did not have chaos defrost. Did not have the self-clean program (just boils a cup of water with lemon juice, actually but still useful). Also much quieter, and clock is easier to set. So very happy – worth the change.
Smaller than was expected but still accepts all standard sized plates. Very quiet in operation and the controls not to different to our previous microwave. Interior easy to clean. Perhaps the the down side is how easily the stainless exterior is marked by fingerprints. Still would not mark it down for that.
Excellent. Has a lot of settings but as mist people I use gul power or defrost most. However a good microwave. Quieter than my last one.
It is quiet which is a positive and cleans easily..
Looks great! A replacement for our 25 year old Panasonic microwave (which is still going but managing to slowly update the kitchen!). Easy to use, compact and does what it should.
Used Panasonic appliances before as they have always been good quality. This microwave is no exception. Really solidly built and easy to operate. Really pleased especially given the price I paid. It does not have a grill function but we were not looking for that so no issue. Recommended. Tip – if you see finger marks on the stainless steel use a spot of baby oil to clean, works a treat.
My last microwave was also a Panasonic which lasted about 15 years before giving up the ghost. This one is slightly smaller than that one but more powerful and also quieter, which is a bonus. I much prefer the way the time is set on this model (by turning a knob, rather than repeatedly pressing buttons) and the ‘Aqua Clean’ facility is very useful. All round, I’m very pleased with my purchase.
Great microwave.
Big enough to hold large dinner plate
Nice stainless steel finish.
Mechanism very quiet
Cooks really evenly.
Cons:
You have to stand right in front of it to see the display (can’t read the display otherwise)
Labels aren’t very prominent
Nice design, but odd how the material covering the magnatron looks like a sticky label rather then blending with the rest of the interior.
The LED internal light is good, but it doesn’t illuminate the whole of the intereor, just the front part (because the led is at the front rather than in the middle.
So far very pleased with it – it was well worth buying.
This is a good microwave oven which we have had for quite a while now. The only drawback is that the ‘Start’ button is no larger or differently coloured than any of the other buttons so I always have to put my reading glasses on to see which one it is! Other than that, no complaints at all.
I got this to replace a 950w Panasonic that after 6 years use seemed to be getting a little slower at cooking.This new one is a lot faster and so easy to use,all the features are simple,overall I rate it very highly
With a large number of competing products on the market, manufacturers have become desperate to add on differentiating gimmicks to stand out, often at the expense of core usability. Not so here! Popping something for a reheat, defrost or quick cook is simple and intuitive, and heating is even, thorough and fast.
The available cleaning mode is surprisingly effective at removing odours, and on the whole this is a very easy machine to clean.
The build quality is excellent, and I can see my microwave lasting me for many more years – which makes this great value for money.
However, there’s one basic feature where this has been taken too far: the timing increments. To elaborate, when you turn the wheel to set the cooking timing, it ‘intelligently’ moves from smaller increments (10 seconds) to bigger ones. My problem is that after you get to 10 minutes, suddenly it goes up in 5 minute increments. In other words, you can’t set a timer for 12 minutes because the designers have deemed this too granular. How stupid – surely it is not uncommon to want to split the difference at a comparatively low overall time.
Also, the main aforementioned timing knob is extremely cheap feeling which lets the overall feel down considerably since it’s the most commonly used control. Honestly Panasonic, did you really need to save that 50 pence that badly?
Overall, it’s a solid piece of kit at a good price which I don’t regret buying which is denied true microwave greatness by some seriously asinine design choices that should never have been signed off.
Edit:- as a commenter on my original review has stated, I can confirm that a friend’s more recently purchased version indeed has the timing-increment issue resolved. Sad times for me as I’m stuck with the older model!
Cooking works well, as claimed above in the blurb. I like the genuinely variable power levels, much better than the old types which merely gave full power in short busts. However, when grilling, one needs to be careful in choosing the optimum height of the food.
Steam Cleaning with the cup of lemon in water is effective at removing fresh splashes, but baked-on grease in the grill is another matter, and the painted insides are more difficult to clean than if they had been simple stainless.
The vents are on the back, and must be left clear to prevent overheating. To keep it away from the wall I put a couple of small bits of scrap wood cut to length as spacers to prevent the feet from sliding back when operating buttons or door.
bought on a special for a good price for a high power machine – easy enough to use and so far so good.
I bought this to replace my Russel Hobs microwave that died after 2 years. Overall I’ve been very pleased with this purchase. There are a whole range of options that honestly I’ll never really use if I’m honest but they’re there just in case I need to defrost something using chaos theory! .
Having 1000 watts is brilliant! Everything cooks so fast! Coming from my previous 700 watt microwave I can tell you it makes massive difference and is well worth paying a little extra for if you can stretch to it.
Does what it says on the tin. Amazing microwave probably one of the best I have ever owned. I only have one issue. Brush steel is a nightmare to keep the finger prints off it drives me crazy. But it does the job rather well. It’s one hell of a powerful microwave at 1000W it does cook very well. Easy to set up and easy to use.
Gets used a lot – bought to replace a 5 year old Sharp which was heavier, smaller. noisier and not as powerful. The technology seems to have progressed over that timeframe and this one seems well worth the price. As others have said you do have to be careful with finger prints which it seems to attract and are then difficult to remove.
What I expect of Panasonic.
A replacement for my original Panasonic that worked like a dream for over 30 years.
I’ve only been using this one a couple of weeks.
Hopefully this one will see me out.
The silver colour (stainless-look) plastic (?) casing gets a bit smeary with finger marks.
I suppose good quality brushed ss would have increased the selling price.
So it’s good value for the price.
