Control panel with a plethora of options including auto functions for reheating, defrosting, melt and soften, pasta, bread to mention a few

Flatbed with no turntable means I can put in a much larger size dish for both cooking and reheating food

Easy to wipe clean

Only downside is the noise it makes whilst cooling down

Food keeps moisture...Easy to use control panel...Heats food evenly...Easy to clean as there is no turntable to take in and out of the microwave...Like the stainless steel look as well.

3 years old. Intermittently goes into cool mode for past year for no obvious reason. Now the internet light stays on and it won’t start until the top of the door is pushed down. Worst Panasonic microwave we have ever owned (3 previously).

Generally a good microwave, was happy enough with how it would heat the food, straight forward controls and quick start function is good, however the door doesn't close after 16 months of purchase.

my panasonic convection oven is amazing,i use it mostly every day instead of my brand new electric/gas combi 90 cm stove,it is so convenient to do micro/grill/ oven which ever you want, but be aware it is very VERY EXPENSIVE,on electricity,almost2000 w on grill,so beware

We have owned this microwave for just under 2 years. Purchased from Good Guys. It worked well until about 2 weeks ago, and now just goes into cool mode, and wont start. 12 month warranty, and looks to have been designed to last about the same. I personally never liked the button set up, with a choice of 1 sec, 10sec, 1 min or 10min increments. I prefer just inputting the time you want.

Heating frozen vegetables requires a increased weight input and twice the time. So bored putting everything through the same motion twice. Was expecting faster times with new technology and 1,000 watts, but got a microwave requiring everything to go back in and a requirement to repeat the same increased weight/time process

I like this microwave mainly because it is Flatbed. Lots of room. There is child lock and many other functions. It looks nice too. We bought it a year ago. No problems so far.

It was working fine and then the unit constantly went on Cool mode and refused to start. I would literally have to wait several minutes for this to resolve itself. Bought it in July 2017 and of course the warranty expired so i rang Panasonic to discuss my options. The consulant said that they would be able to inspect it and if it was found to be a manufacturer's issue that they would cover the inspection fee however i would have to pay the repair fee. What is the point of that? No thanks, i will just buy another microwave - just not a Panasonic.

Takes forever to cook can't use stack cooker in it must of only use very shallow thing dish and still takes a lifetime no benefit to the flat bed stick to a turn table not hot enough to cook food

Was recommended this microwave by the retailer so went with the recommendation. The first time I used the microwave I noticed it was noisier than any other microwave I had owned. The bigger issue was the steam was pouring out the base of the door so was wiping the cabinetry dry every few minutes. I was concerned about the damage it would do to the cabinetry and therefore spoke to the retailer about this problem. They indicated this should not happen and swapped the product immediately (thanks Good Guys..perfect customer service as usual). I ended up with a Panasonic with carousel and am happy with the product on first use.

Very good microwave. Good size for a family. Very handy features. Not so loud, easy to clean it. Child lock. I would recommend it to anyone I know. Worth it.

The internal coating of our inverter microwave is rusting out especially on the top section. It has been cleaned periodically and i just cleaned it today and noticed the rust scale. Very poor the the price paid for a a top microwave.

Luckily someone was home to isolate the power. Wasn't being used and hadn't been used in last 3 days.

I am not sure Panasonic understood our issue. They wanted us to take it to their service centre and pay for them to check it out ? It is out of warranty and I am not interested in getting it fixed just want to make them aware of a potential issue. I thought they would be interested in looking at the unit to discover what caused this ... but now am just concerned that they aren't.

I was very happy with the product prior to this and had no issue.

The microwave appealed to me because it had no plate or turntable so it seemed easy to wipe out and keep clean. This is the only positive after having used it for a few months I prefer my old cheaper turntable style Panasonic microwave. The microwave takes longer to heat items and they almost always have cold spots as it doesn’t evenly heat the food. I find it quite loud and the “cooling” period after the timer has finished is strange and noisy too.

Have had this microwave for 6 months now and it's been great. The food is heated evenly and the texture isn't affected. The flatbed design really makes it easier and quick to clean. There are many features which can be utilized. The only issue I would say is that the microwave has a "cooling down" period after each time you use it. It'll sound like the microwave is still on but it's just cooling down. It is also an expensive microwave.

It is stylish, doesn't need a plate but didn't do the job. An expensive microwave that I was gifted through work and died in approx 15 months. Unhappy and extremely disappointed. Panasonic your customer service is horrible and your products are worse than that. When I called Panasonic, standard reply out of warranty as it is 12 months, have used microwave probably 2-3 times a week only to heat food. Didn't even use it to it's full potential and it has died.

Heats evenly and quickly, easy to use and also I have noticed with this microwave because of the flat bed it is extremely easy to keep it clean. Previously had one with a turntable and it was always getting dirty this one wipes out very easily. Also looks great with my appliances
