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.

5.0 out of 5 stars NICE COUNTER TOP OVEN FOR A LARGE KITCHEN, March 14, 2009

By	HYATT "AMAZON BUYER" (CENTRALHATCHEE) - See all my reviews

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS MICROWAVE OVEN TO REPLACE MY 7 YEAR OLD SHARP, AFTER DAYS OF RESEARCHING MICROWAVE OVENS. I HAVE ONLY USED IT A FEW TIMES BUT IT SEEMS TO BE AS GOOD AS MY OLD SHARP OVEN. THIS OVEN IS A NN-SD967S
Luxury Full-Size 2.2 cu. ft. Microwave Oven with Inverter Technology, 1250 Watt High Power and Easy-to-Use Pop-Out Dial, Stainless. PANASONIC MAKES A SIMILAR MODEL FOR ABOUT $100 MORE AND HAVE YET TO FIND ANY DIFFERENCES EXCEPT THE COLOR OF THE LED READOUT AND A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BUTTON STYLE. I LIKE THIS OVEN BECAUSE OF THE EASY TO USE POP OUT DIAL AND THE INVERTER TECHNOLOGY WHICH ALLOWS IT TO COOK,DEFROST,ETC FOOD WITHOUT CYCLING ON AND OFF. THE INVERTER USES A VARIETY OF CHANGING FROM LOW-HIGH POWER AND DOES NOT CYCLE ON AND OFF WHEN USING DIFFERENT MODES, SUCH AS SENSOR COOKING,REHEATING,DEFROST. THIS OVEN WOULD BE TOO LARGE IF YOU HAVE A SMALL KITCHEN(SEE MY IMAGES ABOVE). IT HAS A NICE LOOKING STAINLESS FRONT. THE CONTROLS ARE EASY TO USE THE DOOR LATCH IS STURDY AND DOES NOT FEEL CHEAP. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY CHANGE W/ MY WIRELESS INTERNET AND PHONES AS NOTED IN OTHER REVIEWS. IF YOU NEED A LARGE COUNTER-TOP MICROWAVE THEN THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY OVEN AT A GOOD PRICE, UNDER $200. (AS WELL AS FREE SHIPPING AND NO TAXES)
+++UPDATE 5-23-09...MICROWAVE WORKS GREAT...NO PROBS AT ALL!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Product and would not hesitate to Buy Another!, October 31, 2008

By	Rebecca McNamee "lightningthunderhorsebooks" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is technologically the best microwave that I have ever owned. I have only had it about a week, but the turntable is what elevates it above my first microwave, a 1976 or 77 Tappan-Touch with browning element. The browning element was hardly ever used, so I did not require one when I bought this Panasonic. This microwave actually replaced my 1979 Amana RadarRange, whose timer had finally given out. I saw no reason to repair the extremely heavy beast due to door wear, aging of insulation, and other such considerations. The new Panasonic weighs much less than the older microwaves, so even I can pick it up and move it. The pop-out dial simplifies the board use and is an improvement in the ergonomics. It is very easy to learn how to use. The sensor function cooks TV dinners to perfection. The inverter defrost works well, also, and is a great improvement over my previous ovens. My only complaint is the heaviness of touch required to depress the door latch button/panel. They really should use a weaker spring on these. The display is not too bright and is welcome in dimmer lighting or in the dark. (I don't regard this as an energy vampire, because I need the clock feather visible and because extreme energy use resulting in global warming are really, at their hearts, human overpopulation issues and won't be solved in my kitchen. Also, I've converted all my lighting to low-energy use fluorescent, etc, so it's hard to feel guilty for having an electronic clock display that I need to be able to see all of the time.) I also recommend this microwave because of the size. One can never have a wide enough turntable. I will also be able to finish-cook a decent-sized turkey in this oven to moist perfection, after pre-browning it in my regular oven. I bought the 2 year extended replacement warranty just in case the fuse or other parts should prematurely burn out, as they sometimes do on the more inexpensive microwaves, and recommend this. Although this has a popcorn feature that works well, I found out that studies have shown that the cooking of popcorn is what most often prematurely kills microwaves because popcorn doesn't have much moisture or enough material to absorb enough of the microwaves when it cooks (and neither does bacon). So just avoid cooking popcorn and put in a cup of water when you cook bacon and you should be alright. That 2-yr extended warranty, either from Amazon or directly from Panasonic in the paperwork, should help with your peace-of-mind. What a great product, overall. Thank you Panasonic! (And thank you Amazon for quickly replacing the first one that showed up with both the front door and the back dented in from shipping damage. The replacement was perfect and works perfectly as well!)

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

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.
