Great microwave, looks nice on my counter and have had no problems since owning.
Great microwave
September 30, 2016
The microwave is great. Small enough to fit in a small area, but works like a large model. Even has,a turn table for even heating
Works great
September 21, 2016
Powerful microwave. Cooks our food super quickly. And I love the stainless steal look of it. I just wish it had an easy on button. I have had it a couple months and I haven't had any issues with it.
Excellent bang for the buck!
August 22, 2016
Arrived promptly and was well packaged. I have tried about every function that it has and everything works very well. I would suggest that one should read about the functions in the Owners Manual as some are different than my last oven. Love the ability to leave the timer going while cooking something at the same time. Cooking power seems commensurate with the advertised 900W. My favorite though is the Defrost by weight function. It is dead on. Just defrosts, does NOT cook!.
My 92 year old dad can operate it easily!
February 26, 2016
I purchased this for my 92 year old father when his broke down. My brothers got him one from Walmart and he hated it and it broke after a month. So I ordered him this one and he loves it and works very easily for him, which is amazing since he has trouble learning anything new.Very happy with this purchase.
Best microwave I've ever owned - for the money.
December 21, 2014
I never thought I would be giving this budget microwave five stars. I really go through microwaves and don't mind when they break after 3 or 4 years. But when my rather expensive Panasonic model broke just short of 2 years I was fed up with that brand and decided to quit paying so much for microwaves that fell short.I love this model. I don't miss the larger carousel or the huge thunk closing the door. It doesn't have quite the power but who cares about a few extra seconds. I love that it periodically reminds that I've left something in the oven. And if it breaks after two years I can afford to buy another with the money I saved. And I will buy another Oster!!

Great quality compact microwave!
March 31, 2017
Very happy with this purchase and the speedy delivery. I was looking for a compact microwave that fit our space, was functional and didn't look tinny/plastic. Having owned a full size Panasonic microwave previously, which worked perfectly for 3 years, I decided to stick with the brand. At 0.8 cu this was as compact as Panasonic seem to go, and is marginally smaller than the product dimensions specified. For reference in the photos, my kitchen cut-out/space is around H 15.5 inches x W 22.5 inches x D 15 inches - and I have room left on my shelf in terms of height and width. It's a perfect-fit fit in terms of depth, allowing just enough room for the power cord at the back. Construction feels solid and overall this microwave meets all expectations. So glad that I didn't go with a cheaper, lower wattage unit - e.g. LG 0.7 cu compact or a Bella!
Roomy, big and does the job
September 11, 2016
I am really glad to have gotten this microwave. It is big enough for our needs, it is quiet and it does its job perfectly. We use it to cook and also defrost foods and, so far, we have not gotten a single problem. Since it has a lot more functionalities than our previous microwave, we keep the manual handy and, thus, it will take us some other time to exploit the microwave at a 100%. Nonetheless, I would buy this oven again.
Very nice sleek microwave
July 10, 2016
So far so good. I wanted to write a quick review and update later so I can provide photos for everyone. So I hope this pics help someone...

We have had it for a few months. It works well, it is quite and it does not spark (unlike our previous one) if we use our plates with gold details. If you wonder, yes we are one of those family that uses fine china and crystals for every day use (life is too short to keep them for special occasions) and do not care to pop everything in the microwave and dishwasher. Also the defrost function works great.

I highly recommend this product
Works great, looks great, perfect size for us
February 29, 2016
I used to always get microwaves that were more than 1000 watts, but I found I was always using them on a lower power setting to get them to cook evenly. This time I thought I'd go for a little less than 1000 watts so I don't have to fiddle with power settings every time I use it.

I also wanted to get a slightly smaller microwave than the ones I've had in the past. We don't use a microwave all that often, so it doesn't make sense to have it take up so much counter space. This one fits our big plates and mixing bowls, so we wouldn't need anything bigger.

Lastly, I think it's a great looking appliance, and it matches our stainless steel fridge and stove very nicely.

June 6, 2017
Pros: Good price, small footprint with a compartment large enough to fit my needs, seems to be working fine.Cons: There's a little bit of wear showing on the start button after only a weeks' use. Some things require more button presses than they should.
Affordable Microwave
December 19, 2016
This affordable microwave is perfect for smaller apartments or limited counter space. Stylish metal and black trim is a nice complement to most kitchen decor. But most importantly, it cooks, defrosts and warms up things affordably.

August 13, 2016
Doing a fine job so far, except if it's a small container and I out it in the middle it will not heat it as fast as if I put it in the edge. But for its price, and its quality of materials, great microwave. Recommended ;)Doesn't make any strong noises, it looks awesome, good size, nice control panel, etc.
Great value!
August 4, 2016
Overall, a fantastic microwave for the money. Only criticism is the feet which, not being rubber, slide across non-coarse surfaces like countertops.
Overall happy with it
January 6, 2016
Bought it for our wet bar to avoid 2 flights of stairs to the kitchen every time. It's quite roomy for its size and although economical, has the looks of pricier ones. The display is large and bright enough to read from a distance. Overall quite happy with it.
It works great and has been handy to have in the kitchen
September 11, 2014
It works great and has been handy to have in the kitchen. However, I would caution it is probably best suited to just warming items or making popcorn. Not enough power for properly cooking some frozen dinner items. This has only 900 watts, which is fine for most things, but 1100 watts is needed for many frozen foods. Just buy according to your needs.

Very pleased with quality. Perfect size
August 31, 2015
Very pleased. The size is perfect. Was afraid it might be too small, but the turntable is very large and fits my large size dinner plate just fine. It seems to be a higher quality microwave. Some of the other microwaves have doors that sound like a tin can when you open and close them. This door has a quality too it. I was expecting a better knob though...something like a stereo knob, this one is not smooth and feels cheap.
Overall, I really like it. The stainless look is very nice although fingerprints are a daily chore. The fan will continue to run for a minute or two after you remove an item, but this is normal. Various heating and defrosting options are all covered and easy to use.
What a Bummer!!!---UPDATE------
April 13, 2015
Bought mine just over a year ago. Up until today it worked fine. It stopped working, deader than a door nail. Now, do I go through the trouble of mailing it somewhere or try to find a local certified repair shop. I'll have to pay for labor (How much?). Labor could end up costing more than the initial purchase price. I'm pretty disappointed. It was working fine, then. Kaput.

UPDATE: I bit the bullet and took it apart (I'm a retired electronic tech and licensed electricial supervisor. Don't do it if you're not qualified.) and found a blown fuse. It's been running well ever since. All things considered, I'd buy another if the price was right.
Good unit, small and stylish, and quiet
December 30, 2014
For our needs, this microwave works great. It's small and compact, yet larger on the inside than you would think. We can easily fit whatever we need to heat up inside - we've never come across a plate or item that wouldn't fit. Using the knob for adding time takes a tad bit of getting used to, but once you do you can set times pretty quickly. This unit is quiet compared to our older microwave. As others mentioned, if the unit has run for an extended period (more than a minute or two), or if you run it two or more times consecutively, it will automatically run the fan for about 30 seconds afterwards. It's not a big deal, and is not loud.

If I had to give some constructive feedback - aka, how to earn 5 stars - it would be this:

- It would be helpful if you could add more time via the knob while the microwave was running. Turn the know more to add more time - that sort of thing.

- Add quick buttons for "30 seconds" and "10 seconds". There's one for "1 minute", where you can add a minute each time it's pushed.

Overall, very happy with the microwave. Still going strong.
i like it
August 14, 2013
+ MUCH quieter and lighter than our old small mw of similar size and power. i really like the inverter variable power tech - i rarely use high power when heating food, but low power settings on conventional mw still run on high part of the time -- this unit can warm food with less chance of overheating the outside or edges. a feature we had on a mw years ago let you set it to start cooking at one power level and then switch to another power level part way through. this one has the same ability - for example, you can start heating something on high, and then have it switch to a lower setting automatically to continue heating. a beep as it's running lets you know when it changes the power level. i've never used the extra program settings like reheat, defrost, etc.
- mostly minor negatives: what's the point of the pop out dial? just leave it out. and is there really no 'done' reminder? it just beeps as it shuts off and then displays the clock, no display or beeping reminder. i'll check the manual again and see if it's an option, but i don't think so. i also am not aware of a way to verify your power level once you've started cooking. the stainless steel gets smudges easily and it's not easy to shine it up again.
i've seen some comments about how this oven keeps running with the door open and people think they are getting microwaved! there is a small ventilation fan that continues to run sometimes (though more frequently than i would expect) after the oven stops. it is near the door opening and you can feel a slight breeze from it when you reach in the oven.

i can't comment on durability since we haven't had it for very long, but i consider panasonic to be a reliable brand based on my experience with other products of theirs.
Ideal small-footprint microwave
June 13, 2013
I was looking to replace a small and dependable Sharp Carousel microwave. My small galley kitchen is cramped, and I was having a hard time finding a replacement appliance to fit the same general countertop footprint. I came across this little unit and feel like I hit a home run. It's about the same size as my Carousel (just an inch wider), but packs 150 more watts of nuking power (950 vs. 800), is taller inside (now my plastic travel coffee mug fits!), is scary quiet in comparison, and includes some other nifty features like Inverter Technology, Stand Time and Delay Start timer modes, and a Keep Warm feature that are icing on the cake. Even little things like an LED display (the Carousel's LCD display wasn't lit and a real pain to see in low light) make a big difference.

If you're short on kitchen counter space, this microwave is the ticket,

The feet on the back of the microwave are not rubberized, so it tended to skid around when the door opener was pressed. This was remedied by a non-skid mat underneath. Other than that, it works well.

March 7, 2016
This microwave runs fine. Knocked one star because the control panel is totally flat so there is no tactical indications for the 'buttons.' To add insult to injury, the panel is printed in black on a grey field, so one cannot see the 'button' locations in dim light.
Heats fine. It's pretty load
February 16, 2016
It's alright. Buttons are hard to press at times. We just use it for basic heating, none of the special features. Heats fine. It's pretty load, can here it from across the apartment.
inexpensive but arrived dented
August 12, 2015
Standard size microwave, sleek look, works well. Would give 4 stars, but it arrived with a significant dent in the right side panel. It can't be seen from the front, so I'm not worried about it enough to send it back. Though, I halfway wonder if the low price was meant to reflect damage, like an outlet store, and wasn't mentioned in the description....
Good buy

Really good for the price, but I can tell not top quality in comparison to microwaves I have owned before.It looks good and worth the price. Just don't expect it to be top quality.
Basic Microwave ~~ Very basic
November 12, 2013
This is a simple functional microwave, nothing fancy. Can't control beverage settings -- 1 cup is one full minute plus which makes the coffee scalding hot so have to watch. Lacking certain settings, like "soften", and the defrost settings are pretty primitive. However, it does the basics and that's all I wanted, and has a small foot print which suits my small kitchen.

April 16, 2017
I have the product just over a month and it broke. The dial used to set time or weight stopped working.

As stated above this product broke after 34 days. we all now anything mechanical can break but the aggravating, unacceptable part of the defect is that when you try to reach Panasonic it is nearly impossible because they don't want to talk to you. When you finally get a number, my experience was that they kept me on hold for 46 minutes before I finally hung up realizing that they were never going to pick up. I have purchased many products but have never been treated so shabbily by a company. I would not recommend buying any Panasonic product because of their terrible customer service. I also want to thank Amazon for interceding on my behalf to resolve this defective microwave.
Customers beware...Panasonic's customer service is an oxymoron as they have none.
Too hot and too many fingerprints
April 22, 2016
The oven has some good features, but it has overcooked food like frozen dinners. For 950 watts, it seems more powerful. We actually melted a plastic, microwave safe splatter cover right onto a plate! The stainless steel shows every fingerprint.
Fine for boiling a cup of water; defrost not so much
November 23, 2015
This is one of the best-looking small microwaves out there and, had I not used the commercial version (Panasonic NE-1022F Stainless 1000W 0.8 Cu. Ft. Commercial Microwave Oven) I'd not know the difference.
The dial on this thing is clunky and non-intuitive. And, while this microwave is very quiet in operation, it doesn't heat particularly fast or evenly, despite the carousel. Would not have know except that I heated something up in the commercial version and not only was it much faster but the defrost was mcuh more even despite the fact that I was using the version with a single turn-knob and no power settings.
On the other hand, if you use your microwave primarily for heating water, this should be fine.
Great - but short-lived; died after less than 18 months light use.
November 22, 2014
The current price of $195 + s/h from Electronics Warehouse Outlet is a rip-off. This exceeds the RRP. You can buy it much cheaper direct from Panasonic with free shipping. We had this microwave for 18 months (bought at Amazon for just less than $120), and loved it until it suddenly and inexplicably failed. We've had several microwaves, all have lasted much longer than this one. Would recommend for looks, ease of use, etc - but who cares, if it has such a short useful life? We could have been unlucky, but why risk it?
Not sure about the quality here.
June 21, 2014
I bought one of the new/used models that was supposed to be "like new," but it arrived with the door dislocated from its hinge and some metal facade pulling away. And even after I got the door to pop back into place, the button to open the door didn't work. No problem, though. Amazon's return policy makes this sort of gamble pretty worth it.

However, since I could see the potential for problems with the door and the metal decoration, I decided to opt for one without the metal look, and with a handle rather than a button.

I gave it 3 stars to try to stay neutral in the scoring process because I don't really know how it works since the door wouldn't work, nor how a brand new one would have arrived. Hope this still helps.

Doesn't have quick buttons so you have to type the entire time out then press start, also, the door button doesn't open the door. You have to hold the button and then open the door with your other hand. Only worked for 1 day before the door began to "stick"
Killed it within 2 months. 1 month warranty.

My microwave was beautiful. Worked fine for 2 months. Now it will arar up, run, and shut off within 3 seconds no matter what setting it is in. Ister used to be a super reliable brand. What happened??

I feel so disappointed and the stuff is so disappointing
January 14, 2015
When I got this stuff, the contral panel is almost separated from the body. I was so shocked!!! It is unsafe! What's more, reheating dishes would make things extremely dry! I don't know how to deal with it and this is my first time buying an electrical equipment at Amazon. I feel so disappointed and the stuff is so disappointing! One thing to make me a little bit comfortable is that it can run like a normal one.

Won't be buying a Panasonic Microwave again.
August 23, 2016
This microwave lasted for 2 years and 5 months. Well outside the warranty period, but about 4 years short of the much cheaper one we had prior. It was great while it was working, and it had an efficient compact design. It also had an attractive exterior design. Burned on Panasonic Microwaves.
Made crackling noises and shut itself off frequently. Died after 1 year, 10 months of normal use
November 5, 2015
Worked perfectly for the first six months of its life. For the following year, the microwave would periodically emit a crackling noise upon starting up and would shut itself off after about 5 seconds. This would often happen 2-3 times in a row before the microwave would begin working properly. Seems like if it made it past the initial 5 seconds of crackling, it would then work perfectly for the duration of the cook cycle. Finally, after a year and ten months of use, the microwave finally stopped working entirely, displaying an H97 error code any time I attempt to use it.

Pros: Sleek, modern stainless steel look. Cooks quickly and evenly - when it works.

Cons: Didn't even last through two years of daily use, and apparently mine lasted a good deal longer than a lot of other reviewers' microwaves.
Can't Tell A Difference With the Inverter Technology
March 6, 2014
I have to admit that I'm a little baffled here. After using this microwave and the inverter turbo defrost technology, I really can't tell any difference whatsoever with the heating qualities of the food over the "on/off" system of regular microwaves. As a matter of fact, I actually prefer the on/off defrost of my Sharp microwave over this Panasonic Inverter. Most of the time with the Panasonic, I still get very hot food on the outside and cold food in the middle. It's so bad, that I no longer use the turbo defrost inverter opting instead to defrost by running periods of full power. This is much faster and heats the food much better, in my opinion.

I like the design. I like the mostly quiet operation, and the electronics are working fine so far (which has been a problem with my Sharp microwave). However, I am getting a "groaning" sound with the Panasonic on occasion as the carrousel turns the food. It can be really loud, but it's sporadic. I'm not sure what is causing it.

Overall, I have to admit that I've been disappointed. I was hoping for better results from this new technology. I believe it is mostly hype and a sales ploy rather than a useful feature.
Very disappointing
September 11, 2013
I bought this to replace a 20 year old, 600 watt microwave that worked intermittently and often required 15 minutes to heat a frozen dinner meant to cook in 5. I did a lot of research before purchasing and overall this seemed like a great product. But, despite that, I wish I'd have listened to the negative reviews.

One of the claims of this product is that it heats evenly and efficiently due to its "inverter technology." I do not find this to be the case at all. This microwave has very little power. It works no better than the old one I described above. I very often have to heat things 2 or 3 times longer than I should. The cooking is not very even-- the outer edges will be smoking hot, but the inside cold as ice.

It does seem like it heats better once it has "warmed up." That is, if I am microwaving two different frozen meals, it works more efficiently to heat the second one.

I also do not really like the dial setting. It is not that easy to select the right temperature. I'd much rather just punch in the numbers directly instead of fooling with turning the dial and having to adjust it to the exact time I want.

Panasonic has long been one of my favorite brands, but they have not delivered this time.

Broken on arrival!!!
October 24, 2016
Ordered this microwave and received it fast and on time. Set it up in the kitchen and thought all was great. Went to use the microwave for the first time and it doesn't work. Makes a loud buzzing noise, gets hot on the outside and smells like it's gonna catch fire. Immediately went to Amazon for a return, which has never been a problem in the past. Don't know what is going on but it has been five days now and it hasn't even shipped. Perhaps I just got a bad one. Either way I am very disappointed with Amazon for the length of time this is taking. Meanwhile, stuck at home with no microwave. Will update when and if I finally receive the microwave and it is in working condition.

Glass was pushed to far right exposing the inside of the left trim.3. Major scratches to the bottom left of the door near the glass.4. Screws on bottom right appeared to be screwed in to far.Disappointed that this was probably a bad refurb. However, Amazon provided a 30% (partial) refund.

Microwave defective upon arrival. Upon plugging in and using, would not heat up. Called Oster technical support who was very nice, and after running a few tests over phone declared product broken since it wasn't heating. Had to package back up and send back to Amazon for refund. Will not order product again.

****PLEASE DON'T PURCHASE****This looks good thought it was a great price, however it randomly comes on and then doesn't shut off !!! I'm returning this back to Amazon its truly a piece of junk ! Shame on Oster for a horrible device.
DANGEROUS!
May 22, 2014
The first one I received had the wrong glass plate for this model. It was nice to get a real person when I dialed the help number in the manual, but it turned out they don't carry the plate as a spare part. I had to return the whole microwave to Amazon, but the process was so simple, UPS even came to my house to pick it up. It was disappointing to get something that didn't work, but Amazon's return policy made it as painless as possible.The replacement works like a dream and even cooks more efficiently than my older higher wattage model.Update: June 14, 2014This model appears to have at least one major design flaw. As another reviewer reported, the oven arced with a loud blue POP underneath just as my mother closed the door on her instant oatmeal. I immediately unplugged it. Fortunately, we've recently had our kitchen redone with new circuits, wiring, and GFI outlets, so we didn't have the catastrophic problems another user had. Out of curiosity, I plugged it back in and everything appeared to work, except the food didn't cook. This indicates to me the arc was in the magnetron itself. Could be extremely dangerous if you have older wiring. I'm looking up recalls now, but all I'm finding is more reports of the same electrical problems on different models.I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. For the record, although Amazon is great for returns and such, I'm not expecting any help from the manufacturer.

Piece of Crap Microwave!!
April 1, 2017
DO NOT BUY this microwave!!! it will fail. I stupidly bought this POS two times. The first time it lasted 3 months! The second time it lasted 4 months. I use a microwave a few times a day and expected this to last. Both times the clock started to glitch. Both times I reset the clock and both times it just went blank never to work again.
I don't recommend this at all!
January 28, 2017
This is a terrible product. The programmed cooking was poor - tried to cook one cup of oatmeal using the programmed setting for 1 C. and it said it would take 5 min! I thought that too long but gave it a try anyway. The bowl wasn't covered. It boiled out all over the oven. Tried setting it for 1/2 C and it said 3 min. If I hadn't been watching it and stopped it at 2 minutes it would have boiled over again. Re: defrosting - the little bell pings softly when you're supposed to stir or turn over the food, but the defrosting process doesn't stop. if you don't hear it or aren't standing over it, it keeps defrosting anyway. The auto defrost setting is inaccurate and you can't get around it by setting the timer and adjusting the power - worked once then not again. The stainless steel leaves finger marks wherever you touch the outside - always looks messy. Now the oven is working erratically. I wouldn't recommend this product at all.
Died in 4 months
April 27, 2014
Read some of these reviews on this item before purchase but the good reviews outwayed the bad ones so we decided to purchase this guy. After 4 months it completely shorted out and won't turn on now. What a terrible product. Please heed the negative reviews on this microwave and look to a different manufacturer for better quality product. Given how all of the negative reviews on here also talk about a frustrating and time consuming experience dealing with panasonic's repair services we've decided to just cut our losses now and buy a new one without going through the hassle of sending this in for repair. Ugh.
Poor quality - dead in less in less than 3 months
April 12, 2014
We are really disappointed that the quality of this little microwave is poor. It's the right size (it doesn't take up a lot of counter space), was powerful enough to reheat/cook what we needed and it's really nice looking. When it worked, it worked great. The first one we bought we returned because the power cord on the back wasn't well attached. If it got bumped it would shut the power off to the unit. The replacement unit did the same thing so we figured it was a design flaw and we could just live with it. We got the new unit in January. It's April and the unit just stopped working. At first I thought the power cord had gotten bumped. So I jiggled it and nothing. I then unplugged and replugged it in. That seemed to work. So I started to heat something up and it started but then stopped a few seconds into the time. I nursed it along like that so that I could finish getting dinner on the table but this was obviously not a good long term solution.
Amazon was great about refunding our money though. Now I need to go find a microwave that will last for more than a couple months.
broken after 1 year
February 24, 2014
First time it was broken within 6 months. Got it fixed - changed fuse. No charge because it was within warranty. But still lots of hassle - two weeks no microwave. After one year it was broken again! This time ordered fuse from panasonic parts website - 2$ each. Replaced fuse and it was working again.

If your microwave is broken, don't throw it out yet. Google for "fixing panasonic microwave" for youtube instructions. Likely it is the fuse. Replacing it was very easy but you need a special screw bit to unscrew the frame.
