Overview
Not a pulse-on, pulse-off microwave, this Panasonic uses inverter technology for a continuous stream of cooking power. A Genius Sensor handles cooking and reheating, and a turbo setting speeds up defrosting.
Even heating without cold spots is the pitch, backed by sensor programs for meals, leftovers and snacks. The limits are bulk and weight, plus a program count field that disagrees with the description.
Who it's for
Households that reheat leftovers and cook frozen foods daily will use the sensor and the auto options. Tight counters and shelves will not suit the size and weight.
Pros and cons
- Inverter continuous power
- Genius Sensor cooking
- Many auto cook options
- Popcorn button with levels
- Large and heavy for a countertop
- Program count differs from the description
- One year warranty only
Performance notes
Inverter power runs as a continuous stream instead of pulsing, which helps food heat evenly. The sensor reads steam from the food to set time and power for cook and reheat, and the popcorn button varies time for different bag sizes.
