For the past 30 years I've had a microwave oven that was integral to my Thermador oven. It was slow and my kids said it wasn't a real microwave. So my new Panasonic came into my life when the old one bit the dust. It is great although it has so many options I haven't learned them all. I like the reheat function which handles leftovers without drying them out or overcooking. Wish it took up a bit less counter space but other than that I'm happy.
