Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After going through three different microwaves including those with a "top-pick" rating from the NY Times "Wirecutter", plus Consumer Reports' advice - the Panasonic 2.2 cu.ft 1250W unit is solidly the best, especially the Inverter technology: being able to dial in - real - power percentages (as opposed to all others that "fake" percentages and actually use "full-on" "full-off" as a means of controlled temperature output; there is a significant difference! Likewise the Panasonic has logical and finger-friendly buttons easily pushed. Especially better is the "soft-touch" door opening... others have been stiff or very difficult to open, likewise close. 2.2 cubic ft size (large) is so much more functional over 1.6 size units.... interior space. Visibility and lighting inside the Panasonic, plus white interior - is excellent, well designed. Also pleasing is the very low noise level. A two-thumbs-up product.
