I'm also happy with the instruction manual, it's thorough and easy to find what you need.
Pros:
Bright interior light
Cooks/heats evenly and quickly
Sensor reheat works well
Looks nice
Cons:
- I don't that you have to push start after selecting the "quick 30 sec" button, my Whirlpool would just start automatically when you pushed the 1 min button and I prefer that
- My Whirlpool had a reference for the sensor cook items inside the microwave door. And/or it would list the items on the display as you pressed the sensor cook button to go through the options. This microwave doesn't have anything listed on/in the microwave and only has numbers (1-14) displayed as you press the button, so you need the manual to know which number corresponds to the item you're cooking.
- This is for the frame kit, not the microwave: the vents in the frame are large and get dust inside very easily which bothers me because it's very difficult to get the dust out. The openings are sharp so whatever I try to use (paper towel, microfiber cloth, swiffer duster) gets caught and/or shredded and I still don't get all of the dust out.
Overall, I'm very happy with this microwave because it looks nice, it was a great price and works great.

This is my third try, a charme? Idk yet. It has the same loose door only something < 1/16". It's tight enough that the latch works every time and it sits flat on the counter so the second one was also bent. If I try for a forth I don't know the odds of getting a better or worse unit so I'm keeping number three.
It's a beautiful microwave, silver metallic with black and stainless trim. It's very big and quite powerful. I'm only using power level 8 so far and that's faster and hotter than my old Sharpe on full power (of course she's pretty 'long in the tooth'). It's not as intuitive as the Sharpe but that's what instruction manuals are for and in short time I think I will become accustomed to the Panasonic.
Why there is so much slop in the lower hinge of a 21st. century microwave is beyond me. Maybe Panasonic doesn't think it will affect the lifespan of the unit. Maybe when the warranty is up the door falls off the next day. I'm going to take the chance it lasts or I can fix it with a YouTube video. Right now as of this writing, I'm happy with it!
There was a complaint about low lighting inside the oven. Again the model I bought is well lit with white oven surface as a background. It makes it easy to watch the food you are cooking.
The oven is humongous. If I buy again, I would go for the next smaller size, the 1.6 cubic foot Pansonic. I use the oven mostly for warming up food and boiling drinks. My old Kenmore microwave oven was smaller than my new oven and yet I never had a situation where I wished it was bigger.
The stainlesss steel oven front does capture finger prints; however, I am more interested in performance and usability. I do not mind oily smudge left on the the oven surface.
Another reviewer mentioned about steam getting inside the door panel. My oven has a vapor barrier film glued to the back side of the oven door. I do not see how steam can get inside the door panel unless the film is damaged or the complaint is related to a different oven model. If find this out any other problem I will report back.
Few reviewers reported the danger of fire inside this oven. My wife had left a paper covered wire bag tie inside the oven and it did catch fire. The fire spread to a plastic food cover. We were lucky that we were standing near the oven and the smell of the burning plastic alerted us to the fire. Over decades of microwave oven use, we never had a fire in a in microwave oven, even though there were occasions where metallic parts were inadvertently left inside a microwave oven. Is this oven more prone to cause a fire? Or, this was because a paper covered wire can be easily iginted by a microwave energy? I do not know.

Lo probamos y funciona bien. Aún no lo necesitamos para reemplazar el que usamos diario.
it cooks till it senses steam then stops - love it
1250watts seems to be the most powerful countertop model i could find - the 1200 w takes a full 30sec more to reheat coffee
