This is a fantastic little microwave.  It is so good that I plan to buy another in a few weeks and donate this one because it works so well.  The temperature setting is consistent as well as the timer.  When you tell it to cook popcorn ( a favorite of the old man of the house ), it cooks popcorn and does it well.  You want a properly cooked package of frozen spinach and by golly you have it.  It gets used for all kinds of things by us and we have yet to have one problem whatsoever.  Of course, the old man can really screw up a package of stuff but the Panasonic tolerates it.
