Review: Best microwave so far - Love it. Very spacious microwave..quiet when heating your food. Opening was different side button which needs to be held with front button.. cleaning is easy.. recommend this one
Review: Very quiet, easy to operate, sleek design, what else is there? - Read a lot of reviews on microwaves before settling on this model to replace my ten yr old GE. Didn't want too many preset settings, browning top, convection , etc..this one fit the bill and was well liked generally..in fact it operates just like my old one so there's no learning curve. It's white inside, which I like, although the light only comes on when it is cooking..can live with that.. As far as hitting the power button multiple times to get the desired power, as some reviews mentioned, does any one really cook at 20%?? I generally use 70-80%.. so not an issue. I haven't tried the Keep Warm function yet but that mode appeals to me. The best thing I like about it, in addition to its simple functionality, is how quiet it is compared to my old microwave . Even the beeps at the end are quieter. .. the only negatives I have found so far are that it is too small inside for oversized platters, but it handles a large dinner plate just fine, and the defrost function seems to be only for meat, i.e., can't defrost a muffin on auto defrost because it asked for number of pounds. Neither is a big issue for me..I am very happy with the size as I have limited space on my counter. Overall a great choice!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the interior dimensions (WxL)?**
A: According to Panasonic's website, this model's dimensions are:Turntable Diameter 315 mm	= 12.4 inches Interior   Cavity Dimensions (H x W x D) 9 13/16" x 13 13/16" x 15 3/16"	 Exterior  Unit Dimensions (H x W x D) 12 3/8" x 20 7/16" x 16 5/8"	 Weight lbs 35.0 lb / 16.0 kg

**Q: what is the difference between genius cooking sensor and inverter technology**
A: They are two unrelated technologies.  Genius cooking sensor measures the steam produced by what's cooking to determine when it's done.  Theoretically it avoids undercooking or overcooking compared to cooking by time alone.  I don't know how well it works.  Inverter technology is a technology which allows the microwave to heat food at a constant medium or low heat.  When you set the "power" level on any other microwave to something less than full power, it will simply cycle the power on an off over the tie period you set in order to provide reduced cooking.  For example, if a unit has 10 power levels and you set it to cook at level 5 for 2 minutes, the microwave will run at full power for maybe 10 seconds, provide no heat (system still running and counting down) for the next 10 seconds, then switch back on for 10 seconds, etc. until the two minutes are up.  There is no "medium" or "low" power, the full power just cycles on and off.  The Inverter technology actually allows the heat to be applied continuously, but at a lower power so it doesn't heat as quickly.  From what I've read in reviews, people can't tell much difference between the two, though Panasonic will claim more even heating.  Hope that helps.

**Q: Does the light come on whenever the door is open, or only while it is cooking?**
A: Both.
I can't verify if any models are lit only when cooking, but SS model that I ordered on 02-02-2020 will light up when the door is opened, also.

**Q: What color is interior?**
A: While interior.  I got a black exterior this time.  With white the exterior shows yellowing due to age.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent microwave oven
*by A***N on March 18, 2022*

There's a question in this box that asks; "What did you use this product for?" -- Answer: 3 Guesses and the first two don't count. We went from a microwave oven that did a lot of things differently than this Panasonic oven. The former one had express buttons 1 thru 6 that needed only one touch to get the oven to go for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 minutes automatically - and 30 second button that did the same. This Panasonic doesn't have those features. The other oven would return your item in the oven to its original position regardless of how long you set it to cook. So, if you put your cup of coffee in it to be warmed, the handle was right there for you to pick it up when it was done - not on the other side where you can't get to it. The Panasonic does not do this. The other oven had the ability to silence the beep. The Panasonic does not. However, the other oven was loud when it was cooking, and although it claimed to be an 1100 watt oven, it cooked like it was a 700 watt oven, and left cold spots in the food (never figured how that could happen). - It also had a problem of the buttons making a beep when you touch them, but did nothing, and the turntable would jerk sometimes and something sounded like it was grinding rocks as well. The Panasonic does none of these either. It is quiet when its cooking. It's an 1100 watt oven, and you get every bit of those 1100 watts. It cooks very well and perfectly evenly. - Once you learn the different way to use the keypad, it becomes second-nature and no hassle at all. Although you can't silence the beep - the Panasonic beep is gentle and only lasts a couple seconds -- not 'wake-the-dead' loud and obnoxious that goes on and on like other ovens. And you cannot mistake what power level you set it at, as it requires you to push the power level button until you get to the power level you want. The other oven made it easy for you to "think" you set the power level correctly, and then as you food is charring, you realize the power level setting didn't take. So, overall - the Panasonic oven --- without all the "features" other ovens have - is a much better oven - is very easy to use and works like a charm in all functions of an oven. Worth the price and I recommend it.
