Very Quiet But Canât Use As A Clock
A good microwave but does not have a clock that is on always display. I wish this was an option instead of a factory setting that canât be changed. Very strange.Alexa integration is excellent.

Unplug It Before Setting up New Smart Devices!
I love this smart microwave oven & I had no problems with what others consider drawbacksâlike having to press Start after the 30-seconds button is pushedâbecause my last microwave was also a Panasonic, so I’m accustomed to how the Panasonic folks think. But because I’m chronically ill enough to have been disabled, energy-wise, 35 years ago, & brain fog often makes life difficult, I needed an Amazon associate to help me set it up. You may have no problem at all, though.Because of my erratic energy problem, I can no longer get an accurate Rx for eyeglasses, so reading & understanding instructions in print too small for many elderly folksâ80-yrs old is now closer than 70 for meâisn’t an option which reduces me to trial & error. So, it took me a while to realize that one must press Microwave before using the dial for minutes & seconds at High power in anything but 30-second intervals.I can’t eat like most people do, so for me the Popcorn button & many of the settings at the Start dial are useless. So, I use Alexa primarily & often to cook fresh & frozen vegetables for which I learned to say “microwave” instead of “cook” to get the job done. Otherwise, Alexa may tell me HOW to cook them instead of actually cooking them. When cooking times are given, on a “steamables” bag for instance, I automatically give Alexa another 90 seconds of cooking time. And then afterwards I have her countdown 5 minutes to allow the hot veggies to continue cooking w/their own heat since “al dente” veggies are more difficult to digest.Both this smart microwave & my old Panasonic overheat foods to be reheated, even if I turn the dial to minus for a shorter microwaving time. So, unless you really want your food piping hot, remove it instead of stirring if that’s what’s called for at the beep before it’s finished.If you want Alexa to add time when the microwave signals that it’s done, tell her before the beeping is over. Otherwise, she may tell you that the microwave isn’t running.My Panasonic standard microwave & my Ninja Foodi played very well together even though it was also 1200W. Unfortunately, this one trips the breaker it’s on if I use it while my Foodi is also in use.But the most aggravating for me is that it interferes with setting up new smart devices & conversing with Alexa if it’s running. It took me 2 years to realize that this microwave, plugged into the same outlet, was preventing new devices from finding my network. Prior to that I easily set up everything I needed to. Amazon’s own plugs especially used to set up in a flash.So, tonight when I had difficulty getting an Amazon smart plug set up, I recalled I needed to unplug this microwave 1st because that’s what worked setting up another Amazon smart plug a few months ago after the tiny print somewhere mentioned “microwave oven”. Moving the microwave elsewhere, as suggested, isn’t an option for me. So, my solution of temporarily unplugging it, not to mention perseverance, is what works for me.That has been the case even with those devices that I installed years ago, not just new ones. So, try that if you’re having difficulty. Other than that, that’s the only problem I’ve had & I would buy this microwave oven again should the need arise.

Para que Alexa lo encuentre debes poner una direcciÃ³n de estados unidos , no es tan inteligente para recalentar la comida de forma automÃ¡ticamente y la mayor parte del tiempo debo girar para reducir la potencia de lo contrario se me ha quemado un par de cosas, sufre de su efectividad 30 segundos bastan para recalentar una rebanada de pizza , con un micro comÃºn eso nunca lo hubiera creÃdo, era mÃ¡s grande de lo que imaginamos asÃ que hubo que ajustar como acomodamos en la cocina, a menos que enlaces con Alexa te atoras con incrementos de 30 segundos y a veces lo que necesitas son 40 segundos. Pd en menos de un aÃ±o se llenÃ³ de Ã³xido ,constantemente se le tiene que quitar con limÃ³n.

Alexa function works great for blind
The microwave works great. it connected to Alexa upon set up. She worked immediately. Upon giving Alexa a cooking command. I was skeptical it would work well but it surprised me. I need the ability of Alexa to control the microwave. that is why I got it. It is an expensive microwave. I got a great price on Prime day. It is worth the money. for anyone blind or has low vision. since most microwaves are flat panels. that have to be marked. this microwave has no number pad like a traditional one. it has 6 push buttons and a turn dial. it is a really nice microwave. it is a taller microwave. then my last Panasonic. My last Panasonic was accessible too. Accessibility is an important factor. Manufactures should keep in mind. It is a wonderful microwave. Just got it. Hopefully it will last long time. My last Panasonic lasted 9 years.

Quality microwave
9.17.24 Note: microwave failed three weeks ago and is sitting at the Panasonic approved repair facility where it languishes unrepaired. Panasonic is supposed to get in contact with the repair facility as they replaced what was supposed to be the faulty part but didnât fix the machine. To date, Panasonic has not returned their calls. For that reason I can no longer recommend this microwave.There may be some new product shock when setting up this microwave. The manual is fairly epic but thankfully is laid out well and makes sense. If you arenât planning to use an Amazon smart speaker nor your phone then some features may be a button pushing mess. That is because there are a ton of features and the buttons/dial are fairly sparse. I like that, most of the buttons on most microwaves are of no use to me and on this microwave are available but require extra button combinations and pushes.I use the Alexa phone app and have been exceptionally pleased with how the app works and with how easily the microwave responds. If Iâm reheating something I use it like a traditional microwave. It is nice to know however that more complex things can be done with it.Bottom line, if you dislike using voice activated control this microwave is probably not for you. For traditional use the interface is simple but effective. For traditional tasks this microwave will get the job done while offering many additional types of usage should you desire it.

Good power and reasonably easy operation.
A bit flimsy control knob and not as intuitive as other Panasonic ovens. Once you get the hang of the way to operate it, youâll be fine.For example, pushing the âmicrowaveâ button first before you set the time is a bit nuts. It is a microwave oven, right ?!!!! Why canât I just dial the time and start?I thought things get more intuitive over time and not less. This is a new model with a clumsy operation.

I hate this microwave. Don’t buy it.
First off, it has a dark inside. The inside light stopped working within one year. it pulls enough power that it trips the circuit breaker if there is anything else running at the same time. The Alexa feature is just silly and never worked. Worst of all, there is nothing Genius about it and sensor cooking overcooks everything. And tonight, it died, without warning. No error code, no power to the display. It’s less than 2 years old. I got a build in GE Microwave that’s over 20 years old that still worked better than this one. What a waste of money
