With a 1-1/5-cubic-foot capacity and 1300 watts of power, this family-size microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation. The unit's automatic 13-1/2-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. Other highlights include Inverter Turbo Defrost for thorough defrosting, five-button and flat-panel controls, a four-digit display, 10 power levels, five multi-stage cooking options, and more/less control, as well as a popcorn key, Quick Minute, delay start, and a timer. The countertop microwave oven measures 11-7/8 by 20-3/8 by 15-15/16 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Panasonic Microwave model,
By Kentucky Colonel (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic NN-SN667W, 1.2cuft 1300 Watt Sensor Microwave Oven, White (Kitchen)
very pleasant experience. It arrived as promised - just plug it in and you are on your way. I purchased this model for 2 features: the sensor buttons and the inverter defrost button. an unexpected feature was the "keep warm" button. Cooked food or left overs can be kept warm for up to 30 minutes. A great feature. I am very satisfied with this unit and would recommend it to anyone.

This review is from: Panasonic NN-SN667W, 1.2cuft 1300 Watt Sensor Microwave Oven, White (Kitchen)
This is probably my fourth oven in nearly twenty-four years of marriage, and our second Panasonic. Our first was a huge Panasonic faux wood-grain box with two knobs: time and power level. That one far outlasted numbers two and three, which were both Sharp brand. The first Sharp lasted a hand full of years, albeit with a display that worked part time. The second lasted only nine months, and began to either shut off or keep running on for no apparent reason. After too much research here and at Consumer Reports, we cautiously ordered this one. It seems that most top rated ovens have reliability problems after only months of use. After several days of use, we have grown to prefer this unit over our previous Sharp ovens. First, the cons: It's a little louder than the Sharp equivalent, but the tone isn't obnoxious. The door has those darn white stripes that make it hard to see if your cocoa or Malt-o-Meal is boiling over, especially with light from a nearby window glaring off of it. You can't use the keypad to select power level as with our first Sharp. You have to scroll down to defrost with multiple button pushes or by holding "power level". The Panasonic does scroll much faster than the Sharp, so it's no hassle at all. It does beep at each level, but the noise isn't screaming. The tone when finished cooking is five short beeps of adequate volume. We actually prefer the ability to mute the tones altogether.
The pros: This oven is fast! Consumer Reports states that oven wattage is not really a big deal, but the Panasonic's 1300 watts is very effective. It kicks our old oven's tail for boiling water for tea, and reheats foods evenly in a flash. I used the Turbo Defrost on grilled burgers, and the setting for food weight was accurate and heating was incredibly even. The center was perfectly defrosted and the edges were not much warmer. I followed that with sensor reheat and the meat was hot, but not overdone. We never even used these features on the old oven because of the hassle with settings. We also like the raised "real" chrome buttons for "start" and "reset", and a few other buttons, since they are easier to punch quickly than the smooth keypad buttons, which you have to hit dead center and very deliberately on this and most other ovens. When closing the door, by the way, this unit sounds more solid and quiet than the Sharp ovens which clang when closed. The only unknown is reliability. Not all the reviews on this brand with inverter cooking are favorable in this regard, so we'll keep you posted, but we're very satisfied for now.

The little roaster that could...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic NN-SN667W, 1.2cuft 1300 Watt Sensor Microwave Oven, White (Kitchen)
The Panasonic microwave that my new NN-SN667 replaces had lasted me 23 years, including the original light bulb inside! With that in mind, I gave this brand most of my attention. Nonetheless I devoted considerable time to studying all the major brands, models, types, reading reviews and going to stores to further evaluate what is available today. Although Sharp stood out at times I kept returning to Panasonic, especially after many of the reviews I read. Surprisingly, some of the more upscale Panasonic stainless steel microwaves I examined in stores had doors that were very difficult to open and the units looked bulky when viewed up close. This particular Panasonic microwave, in white metal with a plastic door, is fairly light weight and modestly good looking. The beeps it emits are not overly loud, which improves upon the former model I had. Its basic operations like timed cooking and clock-setting were easy to figure out without the instruction book. I should add that once I did finally read the instruction book I learned about helpful features like 'keep warm' and 'turbo defrost' that came in handy later.
I have a particular space that the microwave must fit in. I pored over dimensions vs. platter size trying to locate a microwave with enough space inside yet somehow be compact on the outside. With that said, I should have reviewed dimensions from multiple sources (such as going to the manufacturer's Web site) because Amazon's stated specs on this unit are slightly out of order. By my own measurements the Panasonic NN-SN667W stands 11-7/8" high, is 20-1/4" wide and 15-1/2" deep if you take into account the 1-inch protrusion on the back of the oven. Trifling difference I know, but I could have moved up to the next larger unit without exceeding my allotted space if Amazon listed the right height. Many reviewers have commented on how the interior light doesn't come on when the door is opened. Of course the light DOES come on while items are cooking. No light when the door is open is a benefit if you ask me. This unit is so low slung that humidity may condense at the top inside after heating liquids. You may want to get some splatter guard utensils as well. (I like the Progressive International Microwavable Dome Food Cover.) Anyway, leaving the door open for a couple of minutes lets the microwave's interior dry without expending the lamp or electricity while doing so. While the unit is cooking and the interior light is lit the view inside to monitor contents is reasonable. I do not think that the mesh in the door window is overly obstructive as some perceive it to be, it is more likely protective. I should also tell you: 1300 watts of cooking power must be regarded with care. Plus be careful not to run another high wattage appliance off the same outlet at the same time you are cooking with this microwave. You may trip a breaker. This microwave's power cord is only two feet long. If you need more cord length plan on buying a proper power strip. I recommend a Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Rotating Plug and 8' Cord because the cord is strong and the plug is flat, allowing it to fit into narrow places behind appliances. A mug of cold water will become heated to near boiling in 1 minute, 30 seconds. It can handily defrost frozen meat although I tend to stop the process in about 1/3 of the time the oven calculates (based on weight that you enter into the defrost mode set up). Perhaps someday I'll brave microwaving frozen meat for the full duration of calculated defrost and see whether I regret it or not. In the mean time I'll initiate thawing with this microwave and finish defrost in water. I share in the opinion that the numeric readout is rough to interpret if seen up close from above. Either stand back a few feet or bend forward slightly to look at it head on. Then the numerals won't look like all 8s. That's something that Panasonic could improve upon to make this an even better appliance, which I currently rate as 4-1/2 stars.
