Hello, I believe the microwave I am anticipating is similar. It is a Panasonic Nn=SN776S. I hope it’s similar, because I so enjoyed your description of the oven you are purchasing. I am expecting it on May 21st, assuming that the shipping is on time. Does anyone know anything about this particular model number? Thank you. Suzanne
