Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic NN-T965SF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless
Customer Review: Panasonic--speed demon
Summary: 4 Stars
Be sure that you have an electrical line/socket dedicated to the microwave or have a large enough breaker since this oven draws 1250 watts. Having a 20 amp breaker, we cannot run the microwave in the kitchen and a 1000 watt hair dryer in the bathroom at the same time!
You can program the microwave on a warming setting--food doesn't dry out and is ready for the stragglers coming to the table late or after dinner is over.
Turntable and interior cavity is so large you can cook several items at once or cook something in a 9 by 15 dish without it hitting the sides of the oven.
There are no knobs or dials on the control panel so it is very easy to keep clean.
Instructions are on the display so you can skip the manual and still use most of the features right out of the box.
I have yet to figure out by how much to reduce the cooking time since this unit cooks so quickly. Each time cook, I reduce the cooking time and each time find that less time would have been ok. Not a bad problem to have. Time to get out the manual!
Addendum: Since first writing this review in Jan. 2006, I have used sensor cooking mode which pretty much eliminates having to set an amount of time and eliminates having to guess at cooking powers, especially when several levels of cooking power are required(one example is rice--see below).
I have never been good at cooking rice. I have discovered that by selecting "side dish" and then "white rice" I can make perfect, fluffy rice. 2 1/2 cups of water and 1 cup of rice in a 2 - 1/2 quart covered round pyrex bowl. No more burned pots and no more gummy rice! I like that it is all automatic .
Customer Review: Big and Powerful, but
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this unit new and was pleased with it at first. Large, powerful, and nice looking, but After 5 years of not heavy use I have had to replace the touch pad at 2.5 years and now the unit wants to start on its own so it does have some problems as 5 years old is not old enough to be going bad this much so I would not recommend this unit since it is not dependable. A unit this size should run without problems for at least 15 years.Customer Review: Panasonic NEVER again
Summary: 1 Stars
Door BLEW OPEN on my Panasonic microwave while using it to boil water for coffee in a cup I've been using for months! Called Panasonic and right away they had me talk to their lawyer. All he cared about was getting the microwave in their possession (maybe getting rid of evidence?). When I asked about getting it replaced, they said after they had it and checked it out, they would let me know. How do they expect me to be without a microwave oven for 2 weeks? 4 weeks? When I said I couldn't wait that long, since I have to feed my family, the lawyer said that is the legal agreement I consented to by buying the oven. My only solution is to buy a another microwave. I feel like a fool for buying a Panasonic. Never again.
Customer Review: Panasonic NN-T993SF is a safety hazard should be recalled: Cooks with door open.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought my Panasonic Inverter "The Genius Sensor 1350W" Model NN-T993SF Serial 6A43020121 in 2003. Was pleased with it since, it worked flawlessly until January 2007 when Now after the beeps quit and the food or whatever is done, when you open the door, then unlike what is supposed to happen, it automatically starts itself running on it's own! Definitely seems like a hazard and there should be a recall.
My wife thinks it is okay to reach in quickly and remove the hot food with the unit operating. I told her that that is likely dangerous since I think she would be microwaving her hands.
Customer Review: VERY BAD DEAL
Summary: 1 Stars
"Books for Haiti", the seller, sent me a damaged product that cannot work safely because the interior cavity enamel finish of the microwave oven is split by a strong dent to the rear, exposing steel to the microwave function. I requested a full refund, and was only offered $68. This left me $100 out of pocket, and after a month, I am still without a microwave. For some reason, the seller thinks my losing $100 in the transcation is somehow "fair". VERY BAD DEAL. I am also unimpressed by Amazon.com's hands-off, deal with the seller yourself approach. Amazon.com just lost a customer.
