Panasonic Microwaves Reviews

I Bought this model, NN-SB6465, a year ago, paid a lot of money for it, the light stays on and the the dish revolves, and there is a loud humming noise, yesterday i warmed up a cup of coffee, and it overheated, power stayed on past its programmed time, lucky I caught it. Never been more disappointed, what a piece of junk, never will I purchase Panasonic again. Tossing it out. Buying a cheap one. At least if it lasts a year 50 bucks is better than 199, it's a shame. This replaced a 30 year old Kenmore microwave.

I was heating up some soup for 2 minutes and then was planning on stirring it and cooking it for another 2 minutes. I was busy in the kitchen but realized there was this fairly loud humming sound but at first couldn't figure out where it was coming from until I opened the microwave door and the hum stopped and it was all filled with smoke that came out so it just about went on fire! At that point it completely turned off as if a fuse had been turned off. I felt the top of it and it was hot. If I hadn't been right there it very easily could have went on fire. I unplugged it but then plugged it back in after it had gotten cooler to see what it would do and the hum was still there without even pushing a button to turn it on.

Not even 2 years old and while cooking a peeled diced potato in a microwaveable dish the glass turntable shattered and a fire ignited. Quite scary as I had my grandchildren in the house at the time. My husband pushed the stop button and unplugged it. It removed from the house as soon as we felt safe to move it. Very disconcerting. We followed all safety setup guidelines so I’m hoping this is a one time occurrence and not a product issue.

We recently purchased a Panasonic Microwave (Dec. 2021). It worked fine until Oct. 2022. Then some of the features stopped working -sensor cook buttons, popcorn & reheat buttons. We contacted a repair person & it took 6 weeks to get the part. They came and installed the new part, only to find it didn't correct the problem. Since Nov. 15th we have been in touch with the initial repair person & Panasonic - with no success.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANY PANASONIC PRODUCTS unless you want a fire in your home and for the company to say "oh well, its user misuse". This is a company full of deceit and lies. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER DUE TO THEIR PRODUCTS.

This Panasonic NN-SN942B microwave has been the best M/W unit we have ever owned. It works flawlessly, does what it is supposed to. The only issue we have, is it has just developed a switch problem with the door closing and the panel does not light up. Going to replace the switch and get another 10 years use out of it.

I am trying to get my microwave serviced under extended warranty granted to me by Panasonic. The microwave cost me $461.00 and was top of the line. I went with Panasonic on the basis that it was a top line company and they would stand behind their product. Their closest service center to me is at Seven Hills. They will not collect the item without a fee of $99.00 for the courier. It would take me almost 1 1/2 hours to get there. They advised me that they will give me a quick turnaround of an hour or so and then I need to come back. Basically it would take me the best part of a day. They refuse to pay for the courier.

Very small. This model fits in a space in the wall. It tips and falls out when you open the door. There are no numbers on the pad, like every other microwave we have ever seen, so you can't easily set a power setting or run time. Minimal.

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.

It Makes Magically Delicious Frozen Food. I Give it a 10 a ** 10!!!! It Will Always Be There At Anytime It's Called On To Do Its Job. And To Get It Done In A Superior Way Compared With The Competition!!!!

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.

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.

This microwave has a great price for an 1100 wattage oven! This microwave is easy to clean, compact size, very roomy, heats wonderfully! Love the quick start buttons on the touchpad. Easy to read instructions. I always buy Panasonic because of the longevity of their products!

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.

Never any problems for 12 years, I would purchase it again. It's a good brand. Panasonic has been so reliable. We love it. I would purchase it again.

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.

Have had microwave fan combo for 11 years. Used every day. No problems or concerns. Programs logical and useful. Control easy to read. Excellent finish. Easy to clean. Moving soon. Will buy another Panasonic for sure.

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’ve had my Panasonic 1100 microwave for over 20 years, and it’s still going strong, except light went out. Difficult to change bulb, so I just left it alone. I’m ready for a new microwave, and will get the same model.

My Panasonic Inverter microwave is the best of all I have ever bought & it will replace it when the time comes with a newer model of the same, Inverter cooking heats evenly, and is the best I use it for 98% of my cooking, I don't have ccx a working oven so my 1200 watt Panasonic Inverter microwave cooks the majority of my meals, heats faster, evenly cooks, reliable, easy to program, Heck, I am extremely happy with my purchase & I have had it nearly 3 years & it is still selling online & major brand stores.

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.

No problems with my microwave. It is fast and strong and works well. This is my first Panasonic product, but I would not hesitate to purchase another one, when I need to. It is compact and looks clean on my counter.
