Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
I'm extremely pleased with the Panasonic microwave. I bought to replace an old Litton that I got in the 1980's. It works like a charm.
Service was extremely prompt and much, much quicker than I expected. It was in good condition when it arrived, no problems, and I would highly recommend ABT!! I had also used the online "chat" which was a great help in answering product questions. Thanks for great service.

Easy to follow directions. Great for reheating and defrosting. It's a little larger than I expected, but a great microwave.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
Microwave meets all expectations in first month. This unit replaces a 32-year veteran microwave. Aside from the obvious need to adapt from dial-up controls to digital entry and a flashing information display, the unit is very user-friendly (also supported by an adequate operator manual).
Heats, cooks evenly, except for the center of most cold dishes, for which, stirring and cooking for an additional short period work best. After some tests, power setting 10 is used consistently, considering that stirring once is desirable for most cooking, reheating. Hot cereals always cook best with intemediate stirring. Standard popcorn setting cooked perfectly, well beyond old unit.
Thawing frozen food is yet to be tried -- future report.
Perhaps one concern for the inevitable occurrence: there are no instructions or obvious access to replace the lamp if/when it fails, whereas veteran unit provided easy access to lamp.
As ususal, ABT's delivery process was dependably on schedule, with no damage evident. ABT will remain our first shopping destination for electonics, for scope of product offering, sales, delivery and customer services, all for a reasonable price.

I needed a larger and more powerful Microwave oven to accommodate some cooking accessories I had purchased. This product has worked great for all the recipes I have tried.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
My old Panasonic Genius 2500W lasted years through tons of use, so when it finally stopped working (The part cost more then a brand new microwave!) we just got another one, also from ABT. Same model, just the keypad is laid out a little differenty. I like the silver, stick out buttons, especially for the "Start" and "Stop," they are easier to use, just a light touch instead of pressing on the exact center of the keypad button. This model doesn't have all the "Breakfast, popcorn etc. buttons on the side which cluttered it up. They are still one of the features but now they show up when you hit "Sensor Cook." The inside is huge and my big casserole dishes can turn easily. An added side effect, from re-reading the new book I now use more of the features then I did with my old one. The only problem is that the door is still pretty stiff and has to be pushed closed by hand, no more pushing it closed with my elbow. Maybe time will loosen it up a little.
My microwave arrived in good condition. It was very well padded, inside around the microwave and also between the manufacture box and the outer shipping box. It took a week but that was due to the weekend and a holiday. Also love the free shipping and no sales tax, a big added bonus.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
We use this microwave every day for reheating, cooking foods from scratch, cooking frozen entrees, popping popcorn and more. I did not site cleaning as easy, because I don't think anything you have to stick your head or arms into to clean is easy! It is one of the most attractive microwaves out there and I love it in black. Primarily we bought this oven for its capacity size. It was simply the largest one we could find. I have been impressed with this oven and have used it now for about a month. I would highly reccomend it. It cooks evenly and fast and is easy to run.
I was very satisfied with ABT. They let me know before ordering it would be a couple of weeks before it would be in stock. I was willing to wait for the lowest price I could find. True to their word it actually came a bit quicker than they said. They kept me apprised of the delivery at all times and I definitely would purchase from them again.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
2nd one we've owned, in 13 years. The old microwave still works & never had a problem. The new version is much more powerful and defrosting is perfect. Just enter weight & it will never cook the edges, meats are still cool! Would recommend to anyone.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
We replaced a 25-year-old, extremely dependable, large-capacity, excellent Kenmore with this unit. Having used my Kenmore for so long, I wanted a comparable large unit that I could use daily. This Panasonic is perfect! It's actually even better, because it has the built-in turntable (I had added one to my old unit). I've used the Panasonic for many things, and the only adjustment I've had to make is that it cooks faster. I love it, and would recommend it highly.

We use it all day long. It's faster than any microwave befor. 1250 Watts! Cooks bacon faster, re-heats faster, pops corn better, hot tea by the cup. We LOVE it! What a low price for so much machine.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
My first Panasonic unit, same size, stop working in 18 months, just fade away. I gambled for another model, same size and still working for the family. We love it. Now that we have a second home, guess what I got the same exact model. It tells the whole story, isn't it?
What I like on this model is the silver start/stop button, the other model that we had that died had the hard to find/read in a low light situation touch button. The sensor heating is a plus and the quick minutes very useful. The Inverter even out the cooking but I really don't notice how it works. The rest of its capabilities are standard to most units. We ordered all my kitchen appliances in black, refreg and all including the flat LCD TV in black bessel, turned out to be beautiful.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
This microwave has all the features that you will ever need. Don't be fooled by the price. It is equivalent to mics at double the price. I especially like the ease of Sensor Cooking - you don't have to estimate weight, cooking time or cooking level - just put it in and press one button - it automatically determines the best combination. This is just one of many features that ALL work exactly as they should.
The internet ordering process from ABT web page was simple. There were no phone calls to upgrade to a more expensive model or buy an extended warrenty. The product arrived about 4 days after the order was placed. ABT sent email to let me know they received the order, the order was approved and the order shipped. The mic was double packaged to avoid any shipping damage. It was up and running within 15 minutes after it was delivered. The instruction manual was written to be simple to understand. Due to the quality of ABT's ordering, shipping, confirming emails and the quality of the product itself, I have placed ABT at the top of my list for appliance retailers.

Overall: excellent, but the door could close a little smoother, and noise reduction could be improved. Otherwise, it does the job very well.

Great microwave with easy to use selections. Very powerful. Only problem is the fairly noisy door.
Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
Good price for a great microwave. If you are looking for a full size powerful microwave this is your best bet.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
Works great, door shutting sounds cheap, but makes up for it in power. Had a much older unit, this one is smaller on the outside, but bigger on the inside. Is what I hoped for.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
The product size, color, and some display buttons specially the sensor reheating; quick minute; and easy to see Start and Stop real silver buttons on a black background are what made me selected this item despite past experiences. So far so good and I love it. It works fast the way I wanted it for. This item replaced my one and a half (1 1/2) year old Panasonic 2.2 cu.ft. 1300W, black Inverter family size microwave (90% the same except for the display) that went death for no good reason at all. Since repair cost is not a good option and this is the only other model close to the item it replaced which I admit I like it base on the critirea mentioned above that I am taking another chance.I look at other brand but nothing came close to all I mentioned above [...].

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
My favorite feature is "sensor reheat". No more guessing about time or energy level. The "quick minute" is also very helpful when reheating that cup of coffee. The touch pad is very easy to keep clean (a quick swipe when doing dishes). My old microwave (from 1981)had no turntable so it is a definite plus in my book. No more watching and turning every couple minutes! It is large so be sure to measure. My old one was also large so I had no trouble fitting it in the space provided. Those smaller models are nice but I like to be able to cook a 9x13 casserole. This one does it beautifully. I'm sorry now that I waited so long to upgrade.

You won't find a better microwave out there! I absolutely LOVE it! I even purchased one for my son and daughter when they moved out. The popcorn feature on this microwave is outstanding! It pops the perfect bag of popcorn every time!!! One of my favorite features is the sensor cook feature. Perfect frozen vegetables everytime!!! I'd highly recommend this microwave to everyone!!!

Wife did not like size or complexity of controls size. Hence, she decided that she did not want a modern microwave. I liked the machine.
from Anacortes, WA on 11/4/2006
Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
I thought that I needed a large microwave for larger dishes. This thing is LARGE on the inside. I could have went smaller on inside dimensions and been happy but you can reheat a turkey on the bone in it. The power is great and the inverter technology really makes a difference. The huge turntable fits my largest dishes and oven cooked platters. I haven't tried the sensor cook options (old school) so no input on those features. Overall= Huge cooking area, definately lots of power, faster reheat times, quiet operation, simple operational panel, and defrost options are the greatest and work as advertised.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Genius Countertop Microwave In Black:
We replaced a 1985 Amana unit with this one; after 20 years, the old one seemed to have decreased from 1000 watts to about 850, and a power surge smoked the control panel.
We picked on this 1250 watt model because it was larger than our old one, yet maintained the general keypad simplicity, especially 'default full power', thus saving that one extra keypress on almost every use. The turntable and oven easily rotate a 13x9 glass pan. The Inverter Turbo Defrost feature really works - no cooked edges on thawed meat! Sensor Cook seems to leave frozen vegetables a little underdone, which is easily corrected.
The only thing we miss is the temperature probe, which would control the cooking time by measuring the internal temperature.
