With 1300 watts of power, this family-size countertop microwave oven features 12 automatic menu categories, a 1-1/5-cubic-foot epoxy interior, and a 13-1/2-inch cook-a-round automatic turntable for even heating. Its one-touch sensor cooking adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times automatically, making reheating and cooking a variety of foods easier than ever. And for defrosting even faster than with auto defrost, the microwave's Inverter Turbo Defrost distributes microwave energy in a new and more efficient way, resulting in quicker, more thorough defrosting. In addition, a pulsing delivery of very low microwave power keeps food temperature at a constant level--without overcooking; the improved keep-warm menu now includes five items, so foods like stew, gravy, and desserts remain warm in the oven until they're ready to be served. Other highlights include a four-digit display panel, 10 power levels, five cooking stages, Quick Minute, more/less control, a popcorn key, delay start, and a timer. An attractive addition to any kitchen decor, the microwave oven measures 15-15/16 by 20-3/8 by 11-7/8 inches.
nuke em high At first I was dissapointed because it does not a true sensor. I had a microwave that you cook hit auto reheat, and it automatically adjusted the time itself (I usually had to give it another 30 sec.) But after I got the hang of this one, I liked it. Some cool features are the delay cooking timer, and the abilty to program something to cook at 2 different power settings. Heats stuff fast (cup of tea 1:10 secs) and the defroster is amazing-- no hot spots. Looks good; operates loud Just got this microwave today,which was quite fast. It arrived unscathed despite the dents and holes in the outside packaging material. It looks good, although the same basic box they all are, and I do like the glossy black on the doors. Thus far, it seems to do what it is supposed to do; however, it is far less easy to use and significantly less well engineered/designed than the almost 12 year old Sharp it replaces. The fact that it's many times louder than my old Sharp is most annoying and inexcusable. Additionally, unlike the ancient Sharp used as my reference, it does not allow one to disable the tones it emits when one uses the keypad or when the appliance alerts one that it has completed the job at hand. (And, from my vantage, those tones are overly loud as well.) The Sharp also basically had all the features this one has, except the inverter defrost, and was much more intuitive to use and, overall, required fewer steps to accomplish the same results. In summary, I suspect that this will function quite adequately for me and I will get used to its noisy operations. However, I also expect that I will not keep it for its full life, i.e., not anywhere near as long as the Sharp, and will almost certainly go back to a product made by Sharp. Great product, bad instructions This is a terrific oven. The feature that distinguishes it from other microwaves is described: "Its one-touch sensor cooking adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times automatically, making reheating and cooking a variety of foods easier than ever." It sounds good, but GOOD LUCK trying to figure out how to use it. The poorly written user guide covers two different product models with two different implementations of this feature. This guide has only one example, which, combining the instructions for both models, is nearly inscrutable. "One-touch" is also a lie: the feature requires use of two or more buttons, each of which must be pressed up to a half-dozen times. So even if you do figure it out, don't lose the manual because you'll never remember which foods require which combination of buttons. One of the auto-cook settings is for oatmeal: when I tried it, it threatened to go volcanic twice before I gave up. Never trust a microwave with oatmeal, even one with an oatmeal button. My guess is that only the most determined cook will figure out and use this feature, so for most people those will just be so many never-used buttons. Don't buy this oven for "easier than ever" cooking, buy it as your basic microwave oven. Hey, Panasonic, here are two tips: 1. Write different instructions for different models. 2. Have a few average people (not your engineers or designers) try to follow the instructions and see if they can get the product to work. Rewrite until they consistently succeed.
