Panasonic NN-SD987SA Full-Size Microwave: Cook in style with this sleek microwave. Small or large meals cook quicker and more efficiently with Inverter technology. The high-power settings preserve the nutritional value of your food; it also reduces cold spots and unappetizing textures.

After reading many reviews that seemed to indicate that all the various brands have problems, even if top rated in Consum. Reprts., finally decided that the dissatisfied are the most motivated to take the time to write a complaint/review. Even so, some important issues are noted. I also have experienced that many of the loudest complaints regarding things other than outright part failure appear to be heavily influenced by impatience, a lack of basic manual reading, a misunderstanding of what is to be expected, or a lack of common sense.
I like my unit very much after 2 months use. It cooks very well, evenly, fast. Easy to use the dial to set time. Unit is very classy looking. It does take some counter space, so premeasure. Large glass turntable, easily removable to clean, needs to be placed properly on hub and guides but works fine. Like all things with plastic parts, don't force it to turn by hand or it could break, but otherwise no problem. There are a number of auto features that truthfully we have not made use of yet, but will probably try, such as the sensing auto cook that stops after sensing steam. So far, we have used it like we always have in a hectic busy family, setting a time and Start. Can see through glass OK to see if need to stop early. Sound level is comfortable, beeps too. Both better than my previous brand. I ordered online for instore pickup. Very smooth system.
So far, I highly recommend this model.
Apparently all microwaves want a dedicated 20amp circuit, and have for many years (who knew?). If your house outlets are standard 15amp lines and you choose to continue to use one, be sure not to use the same line for your coffee maker, etc. Circuit may trip, or line may overheat. I suggest using a surge protector on the line like your PC to protect the electronics from degredation from spikes/brownouts/RFI.
What's great about it: easy to use well, looks good, price reasonable, good rep.
What's not so great: none so far. generic microwave issue, needs own outlet.
I would recommend this to a friend!
