The first microwave arrived with the button to open the door pushed in so we never got the appliance going. The second one worked beautifully but the light which should show how things are cooking does not go on. We consulted with Panasonic on this who referred us to a service center. Of course the recommended service center did not service microwaves and the next closest one was 35 miles away. So we returned the second one and have ordered a third. Why...its a really good microwave with many other features such as convection cooking we want. If you order this product cross your fingers. By the way, Amazon was great in swapping the first for the second but refused to do this from the second to the third so we ended up purchasing the third one from another company. In general a lot of hassle for what should be a simple purchase.
Had it for 3 weeks now and it is great! Much quieter than the Viking we had before, and microwaves and defrosts a lot more evenly. The convection oven heats up quickly and does a great job. Easy to use, too, and looks great. Couldn't be any happier.
I'm VERY pleased about this microwave and think that its a good value for its price. It comes with racks and ceramic turn table. The interior is all stainless steel. Overall I can't find a place that Panasonic cut a corner in the microwave, accessories, or the trim kit. For the price (less than half the price of an Advantium) the build quality is perfect.
All in all, it's a great second oven for baking, cooking, reheating, defrosting, letting bread rise, keep food warm during meal prep, etc. Great purchase. Highly recommended if you're looking for the best.

POORLY TRYING TO IMPART. OTHER THAN THAT FOR PLAIN OLD MICROWAVING IT'S LOVELY, BUT, VERY EXPENSIVE.
