I've never heard of a keep warm on a MW. It must be a very new feature.

I looked at Google and it sounds like they do. The current models listed mention keeping food warm. Didn't an instruction book come with it? I found this:
Operating Manuals for most Panasonic products are now available On-Line in AdobeÃ¯Â¿Â½s PDF format. If you have the Acrobat Reader, you can view the document directly. You can also choose to download the file to your PC for future reference or printing. Most of our On-Line Manuals contain a Table of Contents for easy navigation which is visible when Bookmarks are activated in Acrobat Reader. Consult your version of Acrobat Reader for help with Bookmarks. We've included an animated clip to assist with Reader version 5.0.

First, search for your Operating Manual either by Model Number or by Product Category. If searching by Model Number, start by entering the entire model number of your product as indicated on the bottom or back of the unit (ignore any dashes). If that search does not produce the desired results, try eliminating characters from the end of the model number until a list of possible matches appears. Model numbers with suffixes indicate color or year of manufacture and usually share operator manuals with similarly numbered models. You can even enter a prefix such as KXT, which will provide a list of ALL possible models starting with that prefix. Should you still have problems locating your manual, please try the Product Category search option or call our National Parts Center at 800-833-9626.

Sharp or panasonic Convection/microwave ?
Q

Read the posting: Convection Microwaves (quality and appearance). Also, if money is not a problem look into the Miele Speed Oven ($2,000+) or the Advantium 240. From what I've seen, the Miele does it all, and exceptionally well. (It even has real exposed broiler elements on the top of the machine that no other has!) These two are in a totally different league than the convection/microwaves of Sharp and Panasonic! Also go to each brand's website and download the PDF use and care booklets which will give you a real picture of what the machine does, and how it does it

Panasonic Commercial Microwave - No Carousel

I do not understand why someone would want this "commercial" MW over Panasonic's consumer MW's which are quite good, and which have a contemporary clean-lined look to boot. Does this commercial MW even have a sensor cook function? And, it is really small at .8 cu. ft. The OP should see in person what .8 cu. ft. is like. I also would rather not have a handle that sticks out. And it costs $333. You could get a Panasonic Prestige (consumer) MW for about $175, with 1250 watts, a revolving turntable, sensor cook, fingerprint-resistant stainless steel, 1.75 cu. ft. and a bunch of bells and whistles. Though the Prestige model is 19" deep, so perhaps that is the reason the OP prefers the 17" deep commercial model. That would make sense, but the OP should make sure that outweighs the other factors. Here is a link that might be useful: One of Several Panasonic Prestige MWs (for the home)

We just got a new Panasonic microwave to replace an older Panasonic that is still working fine. The old one just has some minor issues, is getting yellow (white plastic) and doesn't match our other appliances. We also wanted to keep the old one for backup unit in the basement. I only wanted to consider Panasonic since the other one lasted so long, and since I've had good luck with other Panasonic products. A note on buying: We found that Panasonic m/w's were somewhat hard to come by, had to call around to several Targets to get the one we wanted. It seems that most large chains don't carry them in the stores. Of course if you order online you can get them.

I bought my Panasonic OTR micro from Amazon...this was 5 or six years ago, but I looked at it locally and Amazon was way cheaper, plus no shipping. It was rated very highly by consumer reports at the time. I know this isn't really answering your questions, though...

I'm on my second Panasonic Convection Microwave, and both had/have the 'keep warm' option. Maybe you are talking about the convection microwave, and not just a plain microwave?

In the manual (I actually haven't used the Keep Warm button), it says, Press Keep Warm button -> Time/Weight (set time) -> Start. Not sure if this would apply to yours. Which Panasonic do you have?

I checked with the model no which is NN-ST651B and there is no keep warm button. I really miss that...
