I previously had a Panasonic microwave which eventually gave up the ghost after nearly 10 years and have found the make very reliable. That is one of the reasons why I decided to stick with Panasonic. I liked the size of the product because it can accept some of my larger serving dishes without the edges being constantly knocked as the turntable rotates. It is very easy to use, clean and sturdy and my 2 children aged 7 and 9 use it with ease to make the occasional hot chocolate!
-
This is not really a bad point but if I had the choice, I would have preferred the front glass to be clear as opposed to black but this is very much a personal point. It would have been helpful if the wire flex was say two or three inches longer to give more choice for me to house the product in the kitchen, near a power point with the flex not being taught.

Good size - can fit large dishes in. Looks good, like the all-white interior (compared with the stainless steel interior of the earlier version.) Bought this one because my earlier one, with which I'd been so pleased, had broken (family error, not the fault of the microwave!) and I wanted an exact replacement.
-
Having to press the start button several times to get the right setting is slightly irritating, (compared with the earlier version which had separate buttons for High, Low etc.) However, I've now got used to it.

Huge interior for what seems like a small exterior...easy to clean...fairly simple to use touch pad controls...fan control keeps interior nice and dry... digital display and audible beeps let you know what's happening throughout the program set :-)
-
Nothing major really...other than it's perhaps a little lighter than my previous model (which was a combi oven) and can move slightly on the work surface when getting things in and out (nothing a little blu-tac can't solve!) Oh - and also the clock display has the digits very close together so can be a little difficult to read at a distance.

All the bells and whistles that you'd expect from Panasonic. The best thing ever, is the fan. Cooking rice, vegatables and all things that make a lot of steam is not a chore any more. You can just remove your food and not worry about a soaking wet interior, definitaly a plus in my books. Auto cook is also a great help, no more guess work; enter the weight and it calculates the time to cook and it's perfect every time. I believe you are getting excellent value for money and more.

I was in the habit of leaving the microwave oven door ajar after use so that the interior could cool down. In this model, the fan continues to operate and presumably fulfills that function. Howver, I still tend to leave the door ajar, and the light stays on, which is not a good idea, and I am having trouble remembering to close the door.
