This is a great microwave. We hardly use all the functions in a microwave normally, but with the sensor rehear option in this we rarely use anythign else! It takes a bit longer to heat food than our old unit that died, but that's because it heats it more evenly thanks to the inverter. Great service from Appliances Online too.

It works OK but food takes longer than my previous Sharp rated at same power. Need to add a minute or so to recommended times on frozen meals which are specified for this wattage which didn't happen with the Sharp. Missing a 1 second timer setting so minimum is 10 seconds. Button pad responsive but sometimes need to press stop to reset microwave next time you want to cook. Easy to clean and looks good,

My previous microwave died at only 2 years of age, so I did a bit of research on its replacement. The older one had rusted due to condensation, even though I wiped it out after steaming veges and I think that led to its demise. The new Panasonic is easy to use and seems to vent better which means it's not so wet inside after steaming. I love the grey interior which seems to keep cleaner and I love the outside appearance with the white/black/stainless steel trim.
