Summary: 4 Stars
Our twelve-year-old Kenmore finally died. After a lot of research, we finally decided on this brand and model.
Pros:
This is a large oven. Anything that doesn't fit probably should not be cooked in a microwave anyway. It is a powerful oven. Things that took 90 seconds in our old oven only take 60 seconds in this one. Function programming allows you to turn the clock on/off and the beeper on/off (see Cons). Operating noise is very low. Full-power cooking requires only setting cook time and pressing start. The "Sensor Reheat" function works well as long as your food is not covered (and anything with tomato products or beans probably should be covered).
Cons:
Our biggest complaint is the noise it creates when closing the door. This produces a very loud, tinny clang that can be heard all through the house.
Although it is a large oven, it is lightweight and quite often pushing the door release will slide the entire oven backwards.
Changing the power level requires pressing the power level button multiple times - e.g., defrosting at 30% level requires pushing the power level eight times. Our old oven required only two - power level and 3 on the keypad.
Likewise, setting nine minutes on the "Quick Min" function requires pushing the "Quick Min" button nine times and then pressing start. Our old oven required only pushing "Quick Cook" and 9 on the keypad (without having to press start).
The keypad had no tactile feel. If you turn off the beep function, you need to pay close attention to the display to make sure the key you pressed actually activated. Turning off the beep function also turns off the end-of-cycle beep. Since the end-of-cycle beep is not nearly as loud and irritating as our old oven, we chose to leave this function "on."
Conclusion:
Although not perfect, we are satisfied overall after using this unit for two months. Based on a number of other reviews, we did purchase the extended warranty.
Customer Review: Panasonic NN-H965WF Microwave
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this microwave to replace on older model
goldstar which I really enjoyed. This microwave is as big as the old one but I really liked the features of my old one compared to this new one. My old one would add time while cooking, this one does not. My old one had a beverage feature where all I had to do was push one button and it would heat my coffee or tea just right. This Panasonic is alright, it has a quick minute button on it, but I don't understand why I have to push that button, then start, I should just have to push the one button. The sensor reheat function is great, just put the food in uncovered, push the button and it does a fair job of reheating whatever you put in there, but of you put another meal in there after it, it tends to over heat the second meal. We've only had this microwave for a little over a month so we still have a way to go before having a real good opinion of this item.
Customer Review: Kitchen Work-horse
Summary: 4 Stars
Bigger than my mental image at ordering, I am pleased by the broad capacity of this appliance. Though my household consists of just me and my old Beagle, I am discovering more and more ways to utilize the Panasonic Microwave Oven. After a long lifetime of cooking with gas, the electric stove is anathema to me. Strong suggestions from many sources to use the microwave instead of the electric stove as an ecologically "green" choice fits my life style.
I have since acquired a collection of microwave cooking utensils; the meat griller is most frequently used. More than a quick way to re-heat coffee, I am happy to learn a new, faster and effective way of cooking but also the only way to prepare good-sized heating pads to relax tense muscles.
I wish some of the other appliances I possess worked as reliably as the Panasonic has proven to do--so far.
Customer Review: A fairly decent microwave.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is our second Panasonic microwave and so far we've been happy with them.
The pros:
The inverter turbo defrost does an excellent job of evenly and rapidly defrosting food. Roomy and will fit most anything you want to cook in it. Quick minute reduces button taps to cook something. Sensor reheat is convenient when you don't want to hassle with how long to cook something.
The cons:
Attention must be paid with heavy food items as improper placement will make the turntable jump it's track and not turn.
Sensor reheat is quirky and can easily underheat or overheat food items.
Conclusion: If you don't rely too heavily on sensor reheat this is a good. reliable microwave.
