i don't cook in a microwave, but i do use it to reheat.
i was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to mount, how simple it is to use and how well it works.it's only 700w, so cooking takes a bit longer than with other microwaves, but that also means it
it is slower to heat than our big kitchen microwave, but works perfectly to reheat a meal, snack or my cup of coffee.
i like it overall.....have to heat things a little longer than in my previous 800 watt oven describe yourself: casual cook pros: easy to clean, quiet, simple display cons: prefer more power
i use this product on a houseboat for coffee in the a.m.; heating lunches and snacks.
summary: this beautiful black microwave oven from panasonic is packed with several nice features: (i) more uniform heating prevents dried up edges, (ii) smart sensor cooking enables it to
it's great having a microwave that you can program (get rid of the annoying reminder blips after cooking is complete).
ham in it, which was really too big, and it barely fit, yet it sensor cooked it perfectly!
the sensor cook option is great - just set it and forget it.
we use it for defrosting, heating up our coffee, popcorn, etc.
i use this microwave daily and amazed at how quickly and evenly it heats.
it is easy to operate and cooks great.
it heats food perfectly and evenly without drying the food out.
i use a microwave casually, mainly for heating leftovers or making popcorn.
it is simple to use, which heats the food evenly and powerful.
i have had it for 3 weeks now and have steamed veggies perfectly, used convection oven several times for angel food cake, cookies, and a casserole.
dummies even if you are not!!better than the advantium microwave or less expensive models nothing can touch the ease of use or the fantastic cooking capability, everything comes out like it should!!
i have had the velos microwave for about 4 weeks and during that time i have tried just about every cooking method it offers.
great product so far love the convection part does not heat up the kitchen as the regular convection stove.

the only downside is that i wish it came in a darker color such as black or heather grey.
the higher wattage takes a little getting use to and for most things cooked in a microwave the recommended cooking time seems to be based on an oven rated at 1000 watts.
the smart sensors are great and help to take the worry out of cooking.
i havent tried all the pre-programmed features yet, but it is very easy to use and seems to do a good job of heating things up.
it has several time-saving features and food comes out beautifully cooked.
it is a great oven describe yourself: avid cook primary use: personal bottom line: yes, i would recommend this to a friend

we have used this great little microwave three weeks now and it is, and does, pretty much as sharp states in their description.we use for defrosting and heating, no cooking.
but this microwave cooks the best bag of popcorn ever, and heats things up in only a few seconds...outstanding
you have to reduce the power level on some recipes since most microwave cookbooks use 1000 watt machines.
this microwave is easy to use, has a nice-sized interior, and is powerful enough for the usual popcorn, re-heating leftovers and coffee, etc.
this is a wonderful microwave oven that cooks things perfectly everytime (so far).
the convection oven not only bakes and roasts, but setting at 100 degrees, i use it for raising bread, and 150 degrees, i'll bring a steak or roast up to room temp before searing and cooking.
we use it every day and love the timers describe yourself: casual cook primary use of this product: personal bottom line: yes, i would recommend this to a friend

looks great, cooks and reheats great and we can't find anything that can match it, especially in the price range.

my mother-in-law had this same unit (ge profile) and liked it so much she rarely used her range anymore for cooking - she did most dishes in this unit - either by microwave or convection.the
i have not used my oven since getting the microwave, and i am enjoying trying the different recipes that are in the included cookbook (veggie lasagna is delicious!!!) i bought mine from the store and
i have enjoyed using my new convection mw during this hectic holiday season.it is so versatile and evenly cooks the food both when baking and microwaving.
many choices like fast cook confection oven and regular cook confection and microwave.
i don't cook often and i've never had a convection/microwave before so it's all new.
it cooks smarter than i do.
the best microwave we have ever owned describe yourself: avid cook bottom line: yes, i would recommend this to a friend
it heats more evenly and effectively than our previous microwave which was a panasonic.
it seems to take a bit longer to heat leftovers up by 10 - 20 seconds than my old microwave.
the easy to use dial for setting cooking time is great (it has a kind of 'fuzzy logic'...it always starts at zero).
the only downside i've noticed is that it does have quite a bit of uneven heating (which is pretty standard for microwaves in general).
it's powerful, cooks evenly and the dial timer is a real plus.
hey, it heats up food efficiently/fast and its aesthetically pleasing...just what i was looking for.
this allows people with no prior experience in cooking to start immediately and graduate to much more complex methods of microwave cooking quickly and easily.the only drawbacks to this product are:1.
i get a nice even cook and temperature, no reheating going on in my place :).all in all, i'd say it's a solid 4/5, just for the slightly uneven toaster.
the microwave is powerful and cooks items even faster than the time listed on the products.
i don't like how it keeps beeping though until you remove the cooked item or open the door.
the microwave part is very user friendly and cooks/warms your food just right.

the white door-mesh made it almost impossible to see what was happening in the oven and there was no way to program a preferred cooking time for one-touch operation.
the instuction manual is easy to follow and understand, so i began cooking a perfectly baked potato within two minutes after plugging it in.
the cook time is almost half of what we were using.
this one runs a little quieter and heats things a little faster, too.
it offered a powerful microwave, a convection oven (cooking with super-heated air), and a grill to brown the outside of whatever i was cooking.
the oven does exactly what it claims and i love the options of convection cooking or microwaving.
it has pretty much replaced the oven in our kitchen stove and gives off less heat.it works well as a microwave oven and as a convection oven and is easy to operate as either.
we use it for the convection oven; cooks perfect; and the microwave is just as good.
i looked long and hard trying to find a convection oven with all the settings my previous ovens had and i am very happy with my purchase.i do most of my cooking with this as it saves me time and uses
although, we are still getting use to varying our cooking times when we use the convection vs microwave feature.
we were able to put in a full size cookie sheet and a rectangular caserole dish.
this saves the house from heating up during the summer.

i haven't cooked fresh vegetables or meats yet but with leftovers, heating coffee, and defrosting chicken, it is excellent.
very efficient and even heating.
it heats more even then any microwave we've ever had.
if i decide at the last minute, i want a baked potato, i just put the potato in the microwave, push the baked potato button and it cooks it to perfection.
i was cleaning my self-clean oven, which created a lot of heat under the micro.
it has lots of options & heats quickly & thoroughly.
lots of power, is lightweight and doesn't take up much room on the kitchen counter even though it has plenty of cooking space.
actual cooking/defrosting/reheating times less than manufacture says.
i am happy with the cooking performance of this oven.
it cooks all types of meals very quickly and evenly.
i am thrilled with how much i can cook or heat up in 1 batch--1 correlle winter frost dinner plate plus 1 cwf bowl both fit on the turntable, and there's still room to stick some 1-4 oz.
i use it every day for reheating and quick cooking.
i really like the styling of this microwave, and it cooks fast too!
the best feature is the fact that it has this great sensor which can tell if and when the food is cooked and stop the oven after that.
the sensor cook feature is very neat and despite my initial hesitation, i've come to trust it to do the job, be it making rice or popping corn or just about anything imaginable, it works.
i'm happy with everything i've done in it...cooking, reheating and the defrosting option is great.
