Not as well made as older model
3/5
I had a Panasonic microwave for years that looked almost identical to this one and was really happy with it so had no worries ordering a replacement from Panasonic, on unpacking my new model It didnt look as well made as my previous one with the gap at the front where the door met the side being much wider at the bottom than at the top, on pushing the side in it was flush with the top but moved out again as soon as I moved my hand and the pressure was released, got a replacement sent the next day and athough the door was better than the first one it still wasnt perfect also a slight scuff on the side that I didnt bother mentioning as its on the side thats against the wall so wont be seen, the microwave operates fine [though havnt used the grill facilty as yet] and I do like the flat control panel thats really easy to wipe down, years ago Panasonic used to be a a top quality manafacturer so can only assume that now its manufactured in China that perhaps the quality control is not as good as it used to be
