    I he is 3 other Microwave Companies and Panasonic in my opinion have the others beat by far. All of the features are easy to program and them food comes out perfectly cooked. The THICK Cookbook is far superior to the other three.

    Panasonic has worked for me perfectly over 15 yrs. It cooks everything easily, fast. It is reliable, no repairs. Even heat, sturdy, easy to clean, good size for any place. Looks fine. Lightweight, easy to clean. If I ever replace it, I will get another Panasonic. I wondered if people actually do think about microwave names. Panasonic is the winner for me through actual use. I just hope I can find that brand whenever I might need another.

    I purchased a Panasonic NN-SN65KB Inverter technology microwave oven on September 6th, 2019 for $173.75 dollars delivered. On September 17th, 2021 the microwave stopped working, that’s exactly 2 years and eleven days. The Warranty is for one year on parts and labor and five (5) years on the Magnetron tube and one year labor. This means I’m stuck with a $75 dollar troubleshooting fee and even if it is as simple as a limit switch, that’s over $25 dollars installed. Now some of you may think that’s ok, I really liked it, it was fast, powerful, quiet and it had a temperature sensor, so the food always came out perfect, so I’ll just toss it and buy a new one. Just remember that the “average“ life span of a microwave is approximately ten years. Can you afford to have meals trashed for a week while you wait for your new microwave every two years. PS. My wife won’t even allow me to buy another Panasonic microwave, remember - happy wife, happy life...

    When my 10 year old microwave broke down in the middle of the pandemic, I bought my first of 3 Panasonic microwaves. I picked a large model with over 1000 watts. The first microwave lasted less than a week. I heated up a microwaveable heating pad and read later that you couldn't do that. I assumed that I had broken it, so I went out to buy the same well-rated microwave a second time. It broke down 4 weeks later. It had been making a lot of noise and the turn table didn't always turn.

    I assumed a defective product and took it back to the store and got a new one. This one appeared to work well for the first few weeks. The turntable worked, but made a lot of noise. Last Friday it stopped heating up food, although the timer worked. This was the third Panasonic microwave to break down in less than 6 months. We regularly use the microwave to heat up cooked meals or to defrost frozen meat, but we are a family of 3 and are not industrial users. Do not buy this microwave, it is not worth the money or the hassles. I will be buying a new microwave, but will never buy another Panasonic.

    Excellent Microwave unit, as I expected from Panasonic. Looks great in my kitchens simple to operate after reading the enclosed instructions manual. Vendor packed the unit with care and sent the unit in a very timely fashion.

    After about 9 months of use our Panasonic Microwave Model NN-SN966S failed to remain on. About 2 seconds into the power on the display went dead and the unit would not power up or perform until the power plug was removed from the wall and then plugged in 30 seconds later. Then the same problem occurred after the start button was pressed. Well, I tried unsuccessfully to get Panasonic to repair or replace the unit still under the 1 year warranty to no avail. They kept giving me the runaround; first repair place (PE Americas) didn't work on microwaves; try panacare.us@panasonic.com they said. So, I got nowhere with them either. They sent me to a place 80 miles from here and they too don't repair Panasonic microwaves. I gave up. They don't stand behind their warranty and their product doesn't last long.

    I've had the microwave for 30 years and it is STILL going strong. It has the old fashioned push button operation, no computer stuff, VERY easy to operate, and I can read the numbers easily. Enough said.

    The latch for the door quit working properly and consistently the first week. It has a lot of power and using the adjustable settings is a must to ensure you cook food evenly and don't burn it. The increase power allows a person to take advantage of the larger size.

    Our Panasonic microwave is a great powerful microwave that's big enough to fit my stoneware deep cover baker from Pampered chef. That's a win for this family. I do keep a sharp eye on it when making popcorn, it does not take the normal recommended time for popcorn!

    This microwave works really well. My food is always heated at a good speed and heated fully. It also does really well when using directions from food packages on how long to put stuff in. That is why I bought this microwave because it is the standard 1200 Watt.

    It's an inverted model which doesn't seem to work that well. I find my old Sharp turntable carousel much more effective, no hot/cold spots like the Panasonic. I also don't like the 'cooling down' process. Seems a not necessary function to me.

    We mainly use it for reheating dishes and popcorn. When you press the popcorn button you must add an additional 30 seconds up to 1 minute more to pop the corn properly. It seems to take longer to reheat dishes in this microwave.

    Just replaced a well used Panasonic microwave that was 10 years old. New Panasonic has a few more features we really like. Baking potatoes has become easier than ever thought. Hopeful it lasts as long as the one it just replaced.

    We have a Panasonic 1200 watt 2.2 cubic foot microwave. It has a popcorn setting that actually works, I don't know anyone that likes the smell of burnt popcorn. Inverter turbo defrost which is the reason we bought this microwave again. (I rather one died from pouring water on it by accident). It's is a great feature if you have lots of meats that you defrost from your freezer before preparation this makes almost any meal, an easy to make, don't have to defrost overnight, or worry about the microwave scorching it meal.

    I Love Panasonic, just keeps going and going, only one problem in the 10 years that I have it was a broken latch, fixed it myself and no problems since. At the time I broke the latch, my own fault, I bought another Panasonic as a backup just in case I couldn't repair the old unit, that was two and one-half years ago. I kept the new one I bought because it was on sale and noticed that it is selling for another $20.00 on retail price.

    We needed to replace a large noisy microwave oven with a medium-size unit that was quieter but still had the many features of our old expensive one. After researching the many brands, we picked a Panasonic model that matched the features we wanted. This model has proven easy to use and does every cook, defrost and reheating tasks we asked it to do!

    It opens and closes effortlessly, unlike many we have owned. The touch pad is very responsive and easy to engage. The only drawback is the TouchPad not back-lighted. It does not look large, but it does have a large capacity, and ample cooking options. It is every bit as good as the three hundred dollar unit it replaced. We paid $120 for it.
