5.0 out of 5 stars
As a microwave basics cook, this fits my needs perfectly. PS: I think Panasonic must have fixed its display window problem,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic NN-SD377S 0.8 cuft, 800 Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven, Auto Cook (Kitchen)
The age of my old 600-watt Sharp must have been well into double-digits when its carousel stopped going 'round, after a cup of milk I was heating for hot chocolate fell over and drowned the mechanism (although the microwave itself was still going strong.) It was my intention to replace it with another Sharp. But I chose this one instead because other Panasonic products have served me long and well and I am particularly partial to a dial mechanism, like my old Sharp's-- but no longer available in that brand--and preferred it to keying in entries on an LCD pad, which some of the reviews here for the 800-watt Sharps were saying had a tendency to go pfft in short order.Of course the Panasonic reviews were grousing about not being able to read the clock except head-on. I decided I'd rather go for a hard-to-read clock/display window than a potentially faulty LCD panel, so I opted for this one and I'm glad I did. I have tried on numerous occasions in the two weeks I've owned this microwave to find an angle from which I could NOT read the clock and, try as I might, I can't find one. So I'm guessing that somewhere between all the complaints in these reviews and my buying my new microwave in June 2010, Panasonic must have fixed that problem. My uses for a microwave are pretty basic: I reheat, melt, thaw, pop, Stoufferize and steam frozen veggie melanges, and for those purposes this works beautifully, looks good, and fits the designated space I have for it. I'm very happy with this product and will revisit this review if any of that changes. Update 10/12/11: Still very happy with this product. Still plan to let you know here if ever that changes.

Great little microwave, but not perfect,

This review is from: Panasonic NN-SD377S 0.8 cuft, 800 Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven, Auto Cook (Kitchen)
It's true, the display is unreadable unless you look at it straight on. It's hard to believe this microwave made it to the production line with this obvious design flaw. This is a countertop model. I'm 5'11", and I have to stoop down to read the display. My wife is 5'3". It's not so much of an issue for her.
The unit we received from Amazon had another flaw. The four feet wouldn't rest flat on the counter. I solved this by sticking a 1/8" thick rubber "furniture protector" thingy under one of the feet. I don't think our granite counter top is that far out of whack, so I'm blaming the microwave. Even with the flaws taken into consideration, I still think this is the best microwave in this size. It has a nice solid feel, good buttons, intuitive controls, and it looks fantastic in our stainless kitchen. It's just the right size for our needs. We don't do any serious cooking in it - just reheating and defrosting and such - and for that, it's perfect. Some small microwaves don't have a rotating turntable. This one does, and a dinner plate fits on it with room to spare. We aren't popcorn eaters so I can't comment on how well it pops. Neither can I comment on its reliability, since we've only had it a month. If you research the matter, I think you'll find all brands have their detractors these days, and there's no obvious winner on internal quality. I did verify there was a Panasonic service center in my home town before buying.

Great, small little Microwave, stylish with flaws,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic NN-SD377S 0.8 cuft, 800 Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven, Auto Cook (Kitchen)
Well, what can I say? Replaced an older Sharp with this one and it works great. Great styling on the 'chassis' it's small, but fits all regular plates. Is it 'better' than another 800W Microwave? No. It looks better, works well. And is a bit more expense. I can take that.
However, one flaw impossible to overlook is the IMPOSSIBLE-to-read display. Possibly the worst design ever; it's green, and can only be seen direct on (as it illumanted the 2nd reflective layer). Go 10 degrees either side, you might as well look at a green blob (or, if you move further, nothing). I assume Panasonic will fix this is later revisions, but this is unexcusable for something this standard. Mind you, head on (and I mean, HEAD on) it's fine..... If you don't care what the display shows, a great unit. If you are buyign this for someone with less than 39/39 eyesight............
