Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With a 2-1/5-cubic-foot capacity and 1250 watts of power, this luxury full-size microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation. The unit's automatic 16-1/2-inch turntable ensures even heating, while its one-touch sensor cooking adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times automatically, making reheating and cooking a variety of foods easier than ever. A pulsing delivery of very low microwave power keeps food temperature at a constant level--without overcooking; the improved keep-warm menu now includes five items, so foods like stew, gravy, and desserts remain warm in the oven until they're ready to be served.

In addition, the microwave's menu-action screen adds to the overall convenience. It scrolls step-by-step cooking instructions across the display in English, Spanish, or French, while the function key simplifies the programming of 10 useful, non-cooking functions. Just press the function key and the menu-action screen will display the steps necessary to complete the desired function. Other highlights include Inverter Turbo Defrost to ensure thorough defrosting, a push-button panel and pop-out dial for easy programming, 10 power levels, five multi-stage cooking options, and more/less control, as well as a popcorn key, Quick Minute, delay start, timer, and auto reheat. Elegantly designed with a reflective door, stainless front, and silver body, the unit makes for a nice addition to almost any kitchen decor. For either countertop or built-in use, the microwave oven measures 14 by 23-7/8 by 19-7/16 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Heats well, but kills WiFi with stray noise, February 23, 2009

By 

RabiysRhyme (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic NN-SD967S 2.2 cuft, 1250 Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven, Inverter Technology (Kitchen)

Pros:
It is a compact, lightweight microwave.
It does an above average job of thawing frozen foods.
It does an above average job of reheating uncovered entrees.
It appears to be one of the most uniformly heating microwaves that I have ever used.

Cons:
1) It emits so much radio frequency noise that it shuts down the 2.4GHz (802.11G) wireless router for our computers that is 40' away. A call to Panasonic had a technician that stated this was normal(!), and suggested if we were concerned we could have it check for stray microwaves.
2) It does not deliver as much heat into a cup of liquid as an older GoldStar microwave of ~1100W, i.e. heating takes longer despite a higher power.

Minor annoyances: The light only comes on when the klystron is active, and the grill is difficult to see through so it can be difficult to judge when items are sufficiently heated.
The display is not visible when standing next to the keypad, unless you are 5' or shorter at normal counter height. (It appears to show 88:88 until you bend down.)
The wheels supporting the plate don't have a track, so it is pretty common not to have them perfectly centered around the drive. This can lead to some squeaking until you get it recentered.

1.0 out of 5 stars Died after one year, October 18, 2009

By 

Jzano (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic NN-SD967S 2.2 cuft, 1250 Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Oven, Inverter Technology (Kitchen)

This died on us after one year. We purchased this microwave 11 months ago. It was fine and we had no issues with its service. It did disrupt our wireless computers,causing hi-speed cable internet service to disconnect. But last night while re-warming a small portion of mashed potatoes in Gladware, the heating component just stopped. The microwave itself is not totally dead as the clock still works. Bottom line is that after doing all the manual-related diagnostics, my microwave is dead and it will cost as much to fix as to buy a new one. Welcome to the 21st century world of substandard everything, including appliances.

BTW, I only used the microwave at dinner time for re-warming and later in the evening for microwave popcorn. Usage was not excessive or abusive.

I bought this for our office, servicing 40+ people. Huge capacity and runs like a dream. Great for office party because you can heat up those larger dishes. Very good product no problems at all!
