Highlights
Quality
Overall this microwave is great quality and the design is perfect for me, i’m happy with it.
I like the sensor cook for reheating food, it never under heats the food and the food is always perfectly reheated right to the middle.

Very fast delivery, and very happy happy with this purchase, and even more so with the pice paid!

I did not receive a "rack" in the box.

Make sure you check the dimensions of this microwave before you buy it though because it may not fit in your kitchen especially if you have some sort of proprietary space for your microwave

Only dislike i have is when you close the door it sounds noisy and cheap
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
My family has always had panasonic microwaves until a few years ago when we branched out and tried a different brand of inverter microwave
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The difference between an inverter and a noninverter microwave is that a noninverter microwave cycles off and is just idling for half the time if you set food to defrost at 50 power for 8 minutes for example

I like the flat and easy to clean control panel and i can see it as a desirable feature but i find myself missing physical push buttons as these are harder to press and require more deliberate and forceful pushes
