Worth a look
Works well,good value from a premium brand. Be aware it is loud!
It’s not stainless steel inside.
EXCELLENT MICROWAVE
I bought this microwave to replace a Belling microwave that lasted 40 years! I wanted a simple to use microwave that would last a few decades. I liked the idea of sensor cooking where you could press one button and start and the microwave would cook or reheat the food automatically. This microwave reheats soups, chilled meals or frozen meals or cold beverages really well without it being superheated and impossible to eat without burning your mouth. Cooking baked potatoes and other vegetables is so simple.
The only negative thing is that the labels for the buttons are not easy to read. However, I have learnt the location of all the key buttons in a few weeks. This is an excellent microwave. I just hope it lasts as long as my last one!
Good powerful, microwave.
What can I say but it’s a good powerful microwave, with a big interior. Easy fits a full size dinner plate. My old Panasonic was a flat bed, but I’m glad I went back to a revolving turn table.
I’ve not explored all the settings yet, but no problems in operation this machine, and I’m 70 next birthday. Not too heavy to move around.
Further to above. Someone asked a question about how big a casserole dish, this will take. Well, my Pyrex casserole dish is 28 cm diameter by 14 cm tall with lid on, and it looks list inside it. There is ample room inside it.
Easy to use
Bought as a replacement for a 35 year old microwave oven. Very pleased with i
Best Microwave I've Ever Owned
In my life, I think I’ve now been through about five or six microwaves of various brands, and this is the best and most powerful microwave I’ve owned. Big interior, but not a huge footprint size on my counter top. The neat table of buttons on the control panel look very clean and organised. I like the little details like a light that turns on when you open the door (not just when you run the microwave), which helps you see whether your food is ready. The fact that it’s an inverter microwave means it defrosts things much more evenly than my old microwave, which would only “pulse” between 100% power and 0% power (to simulate a lower power setting). I also like the fact that the program numbers (for sensor heating and “chaos” defrosting) are printed on a label around the door opening, which saves me looking up their meaning in the manual.
Amazon did a great job of delivering it on time, and in perfect condition.
Cheap and good looking
Cheapest high voltage micro out there looks good arrived on time easy to use
Value for money after 31years experience
This model is better than its predecessor which lasted 31 years and was nearly half the price.Well done Panasonic.
Overall good ove
It’s been a good micro but I miss the confection oven for my baked potatoes . Otherwise good cooking. The door though has never felt sturdy enough but I’ve been careful with it and it has held together up to now ( hence late review ) I don’t really bother with the fixed buttons as I’ve tried a few and food needs more cooking/ defrosting so a waste of time
Excellent!
I use sensor setting mostly and it is working out perfectly every time. Highly recommend!
Excellent product, great price, simple to use
Excellent product, great price, simple to use, just what I needed
Love it !
Looks good and seems well built. Have used it for a few weeks now and very pleased with it. It has way more features than I will ever use but I chose it for its generous capacity and stainless steel body, rather yhan plastic.
The inverter technology in this microwave model gives the ability to put power into the food at a constant rate set by the power settings. Non Inverter microwaves always blast full power into the food but pulsed on and off depeding on the power setting.
With this microwave the constant power at the set level does not over cook food at the edges where it might be thinner that elsewhere so food in this unit is cooked more consistently. For me this is an important feature.
Other things I like are the quick settings for reheating, for example warming up a cooled cup of tea/coffee can be done in just 2 button clicks.
The defost function works very well because of its smooth power input and if you bother to spend a bit of time understanding the settings menu then the recipe functions work well. If you have kids who just want to “nuke” food for fast access to feed hungry tummies (larder and fridge raiding teenagers) then they will quickly work out the fast paths to cooking using this microwave. It’s also nice and easy to clean the inside after they have legged it back to the sofa when they inevitably over nuke something and it splatters all over the place… Think of microwave eggs, boom!!!
The one thing I don’t like is the cooling fan on the rear, I think that bit is badly designed, it has a penetrating hum when in use and as far as I can tell does not shift that much air through the unit for the amount of racket it makes. Still the usability of the microwave outweigh that noise problem. A better fan design on the next model could fix that (I’m an engineer 🙂 ) Thats’s the only reason for a 4 star rating from me
Excellent microwave
Having had a panasonic for 15 years. It was an easy decision to get another. Looks very similar to the old one. Good price and easy to use and works well. Does what I need. Hope to get 15 years from this one too!
Great quality. A little expensive.
Great looking and powerful microwave. A little expensive hence 4 stars.
Ice looking
My husband choose this microwave think he just wanted to surprise me , I love the look of it ,it cleans very well but for nearly 200 I would have thought that there was an oven /grill included with it , but no just a normal micro that cooks fairly quickly .that’s i
Looks grea
Big and easy to use has all the bells n whistles you could ever wa
Great microwave but stainless steel takes work to keep clea
We bought this microwave to replace our 10 year old Panasonic which was likely this ones earlier incarnation . Out of the box it has been easy for us to use, probably because we have changed like for like and the operation and menu system are very similar.
Cooks great and is quite in operation compared to our old one. One thing of note, this microwave has a stainless steel cover and front panel which shows up any and all fingerprints, smudges and marks and can be difficult to keep spotless if that sort of thing bothers you.
Other than that great machine which I hope will last as long as it predecessor.
Great Microwave
I had one very similar to this for about 11 years – still worked perfectly but was looking a bit tatty. Was reluctant to replace as it was a fantastic microwave but saw this and thought it was worth the risk. I can say it was definitely a good call, this is great and so much more efficient than my old one, probably as it was so old! If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate!
Old fashioned.
The claimed 1000W seems less powerful than the Sharp 900W. Would not buy again after 20+ years of Panasonic microwaves.
Microwave bliss
Oven modes and cooking times
easily set up with buttons
If something wrong it didnt work open button not working
Bought as it was supposed to be fixed but when it arrived couldnt open it button just flopped around
Its Big
The Size of this unit surprised me, it just looks very large however, its perhaps one of the easiest to use and if you need to change the power settings then again you can do it – especially if you find the 1000w a bit daunting. If like me its the first time with a 1000w, warming up your morning coffee can come as a little surprise on how little time it takes to refresh it. its Taken me some time to like the hulking chrome beast but its programmes, speed and ease of use has won me round. Recommended.
Great buy
Great buy, very happy to have spent few extra bobs for a better unit.
Simple and easy to use, with lots of functions
This is my third Panasonic microwave, all have lasted many years, I like the family size of this one and the simple and easy to use functions.
Great microwave
This is a great microwave we have had one that was like this before and we had to buy this one as our old one stopped working but it was over 6 Yr old so I hope this one lasts just as long
