I plugged in the unit as soon as it arrived and set it up, which took no time at all. Yes, the way you press buttons and set the time and temperature is different from what you are used to, but trust me, it's a transition you will make without any trouble. I like the fact that the convection baking temperature stays displayed during the entire time you are cooking something with the convection feature. You will begin to love turning the dial for the cooking time rather than pressing individual buttons. This way if you make a mistake with the time, you can turn the dial forward or backwards instead of having to press clear and start all over re-entering the cooking time. The unit is programmed with intelligence which will make lighted rings blink around the dials to let you know which dial must be turned to achieve cooking. And talk about quiet. My Sharp Carousel was rather loud when I used the convection feature. The fan sounded almost as loud as a vent over a stove. Not so with this oven. I almost thought it wasn't working. It works well it's just much quieter. The only regret you will have with this oven is not owning one sooner. BUY IT NOW!

The oven was purchased in Jan. 2008 and worked fine for the first nine months. Then the heating power began to stop when the oven was used continuously for more than about ten minutes. This problem gradually became more frequent and severe, so the oven was taken to a shop for repair before the 1-year warranty expired.
First, the magnetron tube was replaced, the oven was returned, and the problem remained. Next, the control board and the magnetron tube (again) were replaced. The oven worked for about one month, and then the problem returned with a vengeance. The oven could not heat a cup of water without the heating power stopping.
At this point, the repair shop contacted the Panasonic distributor and requested that the oven be declared a "lemon" and replaced with a new oven. The distributor denied the request, and so the repair shop replaced the inverter board, the control board, and the magnetron tube (again!). The shop had to back-date the repair several weeks to fall within the 1-year warranty.
After three magnetron tubes, two control boards, and one inverter board, the oven worked flawlessly from Feb. 2009 to Jan. 2010. Then again the problem returned. The oven is now going to the landfill. I don't have the time to nurse a faulty design. I guess "Made in Japan" doesn't always mean made right.
By just me
I'm going to tell you why it is the most expensive but not too much on detail how it works, I haven't had a chance to use it for a long length of time to make a honest comment. However, with the inverter tech and and the quality of this product I'll expect it to outperform all others.
Why so expensive? It's made in JAPAN. "MADE IN JAPAN" stamped on the box and inside the door panel of the Microwave oven. I'm sure if it was made in China, Malaysia or Korea then it would be more likely in the $375 range. I have to say, It is very rare these days to get something to be made right and that is in the USA/Germany/Japan and most time even your money you want to spend can't get the Manufacture to do it because of business cost and margin. Everything is from cheap China resulting manufactures with greater margins. We all have to settle for a sort of lesser standard. Now isn't that true? Don't get me wrong. I am not rich, I make just enough to get by, $32,000 a year.
I went to Sears to see the Kenmore and I saw a GE there too. I Previously seen a Sharp and but never seen a Panasonic in person but only had read and saw pictures about it on the web, (I'm talking about con-mic-ovens.) The model I saw in person (all except the panasonic) were made in China, Korea and maybe Malaysia. Now that my panasonic con/mic-oven arrived, I can now see it is the best of quality of them all as far as workmanship and material used.
I had a chance to see the panasonic microwave oven (not convection micro) at sam's club, it was the most fancy model from panasonic, stainless steel with the knob and blue lights. And that was made in China as I eagerly look for where it's made. It was price for about $197 for giant 2.2 cu microwave stainless steel microwave. Well Made in china, so that is why so cheap, under $200. Since that fine microwave is made in China I thought this con-mic-oven must come from China too. I was surprised to find out it made in Japan.
So that is why it cost over $500 and the other brands cost about $350-$425.
Don't get me wrong again, I like china stuff too but not all of china stuff. For example, I like Apple Macintosh Computers and all of that is from China, not made in Cupertino , CA anymore. I like China made firecrackers and rockets and had some to play with this New Years day, they were the best and no duds. And I like Chinese food too and I have to say it is most of the time it's cheaper than other cuisine and tastier too.
any way thanks for reading. Just spend the money and buy it. I know you're reading because you're thinking about buying it.

This is a top-of-the-line microwave and It has served us well for over two years of normal family use, both for microwave as well as for convection oven cooking. Yesterday it greeted us in the morning with a distinct electronics-burnt smell when warming up milk... Our previous microwave /convection oven combination lasted for almost 10 years... Most disappointing from an expensive and supposedly reliable product like this... We are now looking into fixing it but keep this in mind when shedding big bucks for this item...

Bought this unit Feb.20,2008, worked great until April 19,2009. Amplifier died cost me $150.
May 29,2009 Smoke and sparks everywhere. Called Panasonic. "Send us the unit we want to look at it." once they had it I couldn't get it back. "We'll replace it!" but not with the same unit I sent them but a lesser one. Now I'm out $750 and I have an unopened box I do not want and can't get hold of Silivia Ramirez in Coustomer Claims Dept. they don't return my calls.
Bait and switch Con Game. Magnatron has Multiyear warranty they are not honoring.
