Customer Review: Panasonic NN-H765WF
Summary: 5 Stars
When my 25 year-old microwave died I started looking for a replacement. After reading a number of reviews I settled on the Panasonic for several reasons. One, I'm familiar with several Sharp ovens and a number of them have problems with their displays. For example, my sister's Sharp has a problem with the numbers and when you enter, for example, a nine it will read 1 with the parts of the nine that make it a nine left off. A 7 will also read as 1. Her oven still works fine and times correctly for the numbers you punch in, but the readout problem means you have to pay attention to the numbers you enter. Of the four Sharp ovens I've been around, all four suffer from that same fault. Two, I wanted one big enough to use a 9x13 dish in and the Panasonic does. While other ovens will also accommodate a 9x13 dish, they are larger ovens and take up more counter space. This is the smallest oven that I found which can handle my 9x13 dishes and still rotate them on the turntable. Some of the other ovens close to this size might handle 9x13 dishes provided the dishes don't have flanges on the ends to aid in lifting them as mine do. Anyhow, it will accommodate the size dishes I wanted to be able to use. Three, it has a sensor and I wanted to try one with it and see if it was an improvement. Four, it happened to be on sale at the time.
After using it for three weeks I'm very happy with the oven. It is much faster than the old one, which I expected, but it also cooks much more uniformly. While I expected some improvement in uniformity, I received much more than I expected. I am also very pleased with the sensor system. As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to try a sensor oven, but did not realize that I would use it most of the time. You want to nuke some potatoes, you do not have to figure out how much time per potato and multiply that by the number of potatoes. Just poke your holes, punch sensor cook until it reads potatoes, and hit start. I do find it does a better job if you turn your potatoes over after it beeps twice, but even if you don't it does an acceptable job. The sensor reheat also works better than I expected and I find myself depending upon it rather than standing there and deciding I'll give the dish a couple of minutes and see it that's enough. Lastly, the feature I like the best is the turbo defrost. My old Kenmore required a lot of fiddling to do a good job of defrosting such as adjusting the output and making sure to turn the food over several times during defrost with several waiting periods mixed in. While this oven still requires some fiddling, it requires far less and does a better job of defrosting without partially cooking. On small portions all you need do is enter the weight and hit start, but with bigger portions it works best by turning over, and with large portions of items like ground beef you need to scrape off the defrosted meat part way through the process to avoid partial cooking. Since most of the time the portions I'm defrosting fall into the smaller category I don't have to do anything more than enter the weight and allow the oven to do the rest.
On the con side, I don't like the way the turntable drive system engages the platter. It works fine, but you have to peer in and align the dogs on the bottom of the platter with their respective recesses in the drive flange. That is not earthshaking, but it is a miner aggravation. I can think of several ways to design the system so it would be easier to install the platter so it engaged the drive dogs correctly.
So as it stands, provided the oven is as reliable as the other Panasonic products I've used I heartily recommend it and so far I see no reason to think it won't be. I was also pleased with the service and price from Amazon, but I've come to expect that level of service and pricing from them. I've only had one foul up with an Amazon order, and when they were notified of the problem they quickly corrected it, in fact much more quickly than I expected. You can't ask or expect more.
