Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic NN-H765WF, 1.6cuft 1250 Watt Sensor Microwave Oven, White
Customer Review: Silver Version with Images, Panasonic Inverter Review, Very Pleased with Belated Christmas Exchange
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually asked for Panasonic NN-SD377S 0.8 cuft, 800 Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven, Auto Cook at Christmas. Bro-In-Law, in charge of Shopping, opted for the GE 1.4 Cu. Ft. Capacity Countertop Microwave Oven, WES1450DMBB. Not being familiar with this Oven (and it was larger and more wattage than I wanted), I did some review searching. Not happy, I kept my 20 year old Panasonic in a box, just in case.
Within 2 weeks, the GE Microwave started making a loud thumping, scraping sound. As time progressed, it became continuous (something about the fan, and using lower settings to cook - apparently, this GE Sensor Microwave doesn't like change).
So, before the 30 days were up, called GE, and was told to return unit. It IS HEAVY, and I am disabled. So over came Sis and Hubby, to help the exchange. They bought me this model type in Silver instead (well, we should have gone with the 800 watt one to begin with - would have saved money - and fits better on the counter, oh well).
I am very pleased with this Microwave. I can cook faster on the 10 power level, or lower on 8 to simulate my old microwave. The cookbook comes with many recipes and how tos (including softening brown sugar), so be sure to keep the User Manual with your other cookbooks. My most favorite functions are the power level, time cook, Sensor Reheat, and the Kitchen Timer.
Its not as annoying in beeps and display as the GE Sensor was, time setting is easier. I can tell already that this will last a while, and am ready to donate the old microwave. With this model, you can actually see many colors available for any Kitchen (wish they had red). However, it matches my simplehuman Dish Rack, Compact, Plastic, Gray.
PS - for total Energy awareness, this actually uses 1440 to 1460 watts, while outputting 1250 watts. I have also provided some images, to compare and contrast.
Customer Review: Working like a champ
Summary: 5 Stars
This microwave was purchased to replace an older unit that had been worn out at our office. We have four microwaves that get an average of 50 lunches a day ran through each of them. That and countless coffees, teas, burned popcorn! etc. What we first noticed is it brought a cold cup of water to a boil in under two minutes! The other 1200 watt microwaves need three or more.
Upsides.
Quick and easy use.
Easy to understand buttons with a 1 minute or add a minute feature.
Going with white saved about 20$ off the black unit.
Thankfully the popcorn option works beautifully. No more stinky burned popcorn!
Downsides.
Needs a better light. It's hard to see your food in this oven.
Can be confusing options for setting the controls and clock. Don't loose the manual!
The door button seems to stick but returns to normal when you close the door.
The bulb is not replaceable from the inside.
The turntable can pop off the spinner, but that's not uncommon for these types.
Cleaning is easy. Well, as easy as it can be with an office of messy ba_tards that don't clean up after themselves. ;)
Customer Review: The BEST microwave I've ever owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this microwave when they first hit the stores. This one appealed to me because I have a large family, and we have lots of company. I needed a microwave that I could fit my large casserole dishes into. This will easily hold a 13x9" baking dish. This oven takes up a lot of space, but that is no problem for me. The power in this machine makes all its small drawbacks worthwhile. The turbo thawing feature is wonderful. Cuts thawing time by half in some instances. Popcorn? 2 minutes flat for most bags. Maybe a few seconds more for the gourmet bags. I love the turn table which keeps me from having to rotate the food for even cooking. The price is right on an appliance that is as good and reliable as this one. I have never regretted this purchase. In fact, I have looked around in stores, trying to see if anyone still sells them because I definitely want to purchase this same model again. I have found it nowhere in town recently, but I was thrilled to see it here on Amazon! If you have the space, and you want a dependable, powerful microwave, this is it!Customer Review: Not sad my old microwave died
Summary: 5 Stars
I very much like the inverter technology, it is a dramatic improvement over all of my previous microwaves. It has more bells and whistles than I am accustom to using so this will be a more nuts and bolts review. The additional power of this microwave is also a big advantage, it cooks and worms faster but it also burns faster so be warned. We lost power the day after we received it and had to reprogram the user settings and clock. The popcorn preset did not finish popping the bag and the auto preheat seems to over do it a bit, with that said it dose a very good job when you manually input the cooking parameters you desire. The one main complaint we have is the display, it seems to have a wide horizontal field of view but the vertical field of view is limited so I need to crouch down a bit to see the display when programing. As with everything we have purchased through amazon it arrived promptly, without damage, the price was fare and the transaction painless.Customer Review: Love this model & the 'power down' feature
Summary: 5 Stars
When our old microwave oven died, I looked at a couple of stores for a replacement, but wasn't finding one that met my needs. This Panasonic microwave oven is truly a full size, except for the inside height. The one I had was a Sharp, 13 years old, and TALL...but since I received this one I'm getting used to that. The "power down" feature is an excellent improvement. I've used it several times when reheating something that had mushrooms, or a sensitive ingredient, in it. It also cooks other foods much better with constant cooking on lower power instead of short bursts of high power. It also stays put when pressing the buttons, and the lighter weight ones will slide every time. It accomodates larger plates & platters too. All in all, the more I use it...the better I like it. Don't be afraid of this one. It has my stamp of approval, and I'm very picky.
