Review 1 for Panasonic 2.2 Cu. Ft. Full-Size Microwave - Stainless-Steel
Nice and big interior size
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Looks awesome, love the controls
What's not so great: Haven't found anything yet that I don't like
This microwave has replaced my 20-year old Sharp, which still works but is VERY tired. I have to remember that cooking/reheating times will be a lot shorter than with my old one. The blue light on the control panel is really cool at night. I love the large turntable - it's so big we could probably cook a small turkey. My hubby and I haven't experimented with all the features yet, but so far we're thrilled with it! The shortcut keys, once I figured them out, are really easy to use (reading the manual also helps LOL.) Enjoy!
This product is or has... Shortcut keys that save time, A turntable that cooks evenly, The power to cook quickly!, Quiet, Big enough to handle large items, Easy to clean

Review 3 for Panasonic 2.2 Cu. Ft. Full-Size Microwave - Stainless-Steel
The best I've owned
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Size and performance
What's not so great: Door open button made of plastic.
This is the best microwave I've owned. This is my second; first was replaced under service contract after 3 1/2 years of hard, home use. I was happy that this model was still being made, I drove to another store that had it in stock, because I did not want to change. The dial control takes a little getting used to, but I love it now. Sensor cook, sensor reheat, and keep-warm all work well. For the money you can't beat this machine in the full size category. Easily holds a 9 in. pyrex.

One of my favorite parts is the 1 minute button. Of course, every microwave should have a popcorn button. Still getting used to the sensor cooking, but I think I am going to like it once I better understand how it works.

Really Neat Microwave
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Not a big fan of stainless steel
I'm a kind of a geek when it comes to this. I have been eyeballing this technology for a few years waiting for my Sharp Carousel to die. Well it's still alive and well, but I rationalized that I needed to give it to my son for college. Just the excuse I needed -- so, that day, I bought my first inverter microwave.
What a really neat microwave! Things like oatmeal and rice never overflow. You put meat in to defrost and it looks like you just brought it home from the store. I'm still getting use to the layout, but the dial is really easy compared to a keypad.
If you're searching for a new microwave, you gotta give one of these a try.

What's great about it: cooks quickly
What's not so great: door sticks
Everything you want a microwave to be - this is it.
One con: when you push the button to open the door, the door sticks sometimes; especially frustrating when you're trying to open the door pushing the button with one hand while the other hand has a dish of food in it. You have to pull on the bottom of the door to get it opened

Purchased this to replace an older Panasonic damaged by a power surge. I like the single knob controller better than the older numeric pad as it's quicker and more convenient. All the sensor functions work fantasticly.

The controls are very simple to use and all functions seem to work fine. It makes great popcorn and reheats pizza so it tastes like fresh.
Everything I have cooked in it has come out great.

What's great about it: NOTHING THAT A CHEAP UNIT WOULD NOT HAVE PROVIDED.
What's not so great: DEAD IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS.
PURCHASED A PANASONIC TO REPLACE AN OLDER ONE THAT LASTED AROUND 5 YEARS. THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO BE BRAND LOYAL. NOW I GET A CODE THAT SAYS THE MAGNATRON IS SHOT.....MEANING THAT IT IS DEAD! NOW BEST BUT WILL JERK ME AROUND AND INSIST I MAIL IT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND WAIT TO GET IT BACK. THE WAIT TIME AND THE COST TO SEND IT IS NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE TO GO THROUGH.....BEST BUY SEEMS TO SELL A LOT OF PRODUCTS THAT FAIL AND THE WARRANTY IS MORE TROUBLE THAN IT IS WORTH DOING.

I love this microwave. Its very easy to use, and cooks everything perfectly. Im not crazy about stainless steel, but this cleans up really easily. No finger prints, just a simple wipe with a damp towel. Even my eleven yr old grand-daughter can use this oven, and she likes it too. It runs very quite. You wont be disappointed with this oven,

What's great about it: Function, power, looks
What's not so great: It's all good
I was somewhat skeptical of the knob replacing a touch pad and also of the usability of the sensor functions. Wow! The knob is quicker to use and doesn't get dirty. The "sensor reheat" function is the best feature on any microwave I've used. Pile your plate with food for reheating. Cover for plastic wrap. Hit the sensor reheat button and when the beeper goes off the food is perfectly hot. Kept 3 kids busy over Thanksgiving trying to find a food that could fool the sensor (it did head the mac & cheese too much but there's an easy adjustment that solved that). Great machine and it looks good on the counter, too.

H98 a certainty - extended warranty is essential

What's great about it: Pretty and easy to use
What's not so great: Count on it to break in under 2 years
Get the extended warranty no matter what type of microwave you buy. Gone are the days of a microwave that lasts 10 years. This Panasonic NN-SD987s (beautiful device - not cheap) displayed a H98 error code (filament blown - not user repairable) 16 months after purchase. I had read other people say the same thing (some had it happen days after purchase). The microwave has such an attractive look that I could not resist buying it, but thank goodness I had read the reviews that predicted the certainty of premature element failure. Yee Hah! I have the coverage. I will never buy a microwave again without it.
By the way, when you read the "Extended warranty policy", they have the right to give you a cash card equal to the product "replacement cost." What that means is that when they do that your extended warranty is over -- it doesn't extend to the next item that you get to replace the item that is in the trash. RESULT: They don't need to cover your appliance for the full term that you purchased. You cannot fight it -- you just need to know those are the rules.

What's not so great: Sensor reheat overcooks food
Works well. Lots of power. Looks good. Easy to use. My only complaints are that the sensor reheat overcooks the food and it messes up the wireless signal between my laptop and router. Other than that we are happy with the microwave.

This microwave is the best microwave I have ever owned. The main thing I like about this was the "add 1 minute" option. I love the dial to change the time, and it is lit very nicely. It has awesome blue LED lights on the control panel which help for those midnight snacks. There have been no problems or no complaints at all with this microwave. I would highly recommend this microwave!

What's great about it: Looks great.
What's not so great: Broke after 5 months!
This Panasonic looks great and cooked great for the 5 months it worked! Today I got the H98 error code, which means the unit blew either a magnetron or the inverter. It's too expensive to fix and the warranty is finished, so I guess I'll just think of it as flushing $200 down the toilet. C'est la vie. I'll never buy Panasonic again.
