Amazon.com Product Description
With a 1-3/5-cubic-foot capacity and 1250 watts of power, this family-size microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation. The unit's automatic 15-inch turntable ensures even heating, while its one-touch sensor cooking adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times automatically, making reheating and cooking a variety of foods easier than ever. 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 enjoyed.

In addition, the microwave's menu-action screen adds to the overall convenience. It scrolls step-by-step cooking instructions across the display in a choice of English, Spanish, or French. Other highlights include Inverter Turbo Defrost to ensure thorough defrosting, a push-button panel and pop-out dial for easy programming, 10 power levels, five multi-stage cooking options, and more/less control, as well as a popcorn button, keep-warm button, Quick Minute, delay start, and a timer. Elegantly designed with a half-mirror door and a fingerprint-resistant stainless face, the unit makes a nice addition to almost any kitchen decor. For either countertop or built-in use, the microwave oven measures 12 by 21-7/8 by 19-7/16 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

A Good Microwave Oven
I installed this microwave oven as a built in using a Panasonic TK-729SAPH Stainless Steel Trim Kit (27" width) for all 1.6 cuft Panasonic Stainless Steel Microwave models.

I purchased this oven because I like its looks, it can be installed as a built-in and its performance is rated very highly by Consumer Reports.

I am happy with the cooking performance of this oven. Items cooked in it are heated evenly. I have found the sensor cooking mode to work well.

Minor annoyances include that the door open button requires a pretty firm push to open the door and the control knob can't be used to select a power level. The control knob can be used to dial in the cooking time, or if you push the sensor cook button, the dial can then be used to select a sensor cooking mode. However, the power level is selected by repeated pushing of the power level button. If you want 50% power, you need to push the button five times. Obviously this isn't the end of the world, but it annoys me. I'd rather push the power level button and then dial in the power level I need using the control knob.

This oven looks great installed as a built in, it cooks well and I am happy with my choices. If I was going to do it all over again, I would still choose this oven and trim kit.

Big, a little weird, excellent performance
Bought it over one other, similar microwave, mainly to see if the inverter technology really works. It does. It's a great leap forward for humankind.

The knob is retro! Which in this case means solid. I did not buy it for the look, but it's funny when visitors think maybe it's a TV/microwave combo. It's solid like a 60s TV. And big.

This thing is big. I wanted big, so it's ok, but you might take out your tape measure to help conceptualize just how big it is. I am thrilled with how much I can cook or heat up in 1 batch--1 Correlle Winter Frost dinner plate plus 1 CWF bowl both fit on the turntable, and there's still room to stick some 1-4 oz. containers.

The stainless is nice. I have a mostly white kitchen, and white plastic on appliances turns yellowish over time, so I am glad there was a stainless option.

It gets the job done, whatever the job is. Buy it without fear.

Then double-check that Amazon is using the correct shipping address, and check again after your order goes through, and possibly once more before it ships. It's heavy and very bulky if you have to carry it home from work. If it isn't your mistake and you have to pay $30 to get it home anyway, it kinda puts a damper on the arrival of a fine appliance.

Panisonic
I couldn't be happier with thie product. It is nice looking and the feel of the conrols are solid. That is what I was looking for in a microwave as my last microwave had touch pad controls and it quit working after a year. The Turbo defrost works great, it has a fast and even defrost, as it was advertised.
