Panasonic Microwave Oven with Cyclonic Wave Inverter Technology, 1250W, 2.2 cu.ft. Countertop Microwave with Genius Sensor One-Touch Cooking – NN-SD975S (Stainless Steel / Silver)

I would like to start off by saying for anyone considering buying this microwave, I truly do believe most of the negative reviews of this product are due to either a small number of defective units, or just a lack of understanding on how to use the appliance properly, it is not the fault of the product/manufacturer/seller if you neglected to read the provided instructions or don’t make an attempt to exchange a defective item. Now for my review of the microwave. In terms of looks and quality it is absolutely top notch. Its VERY pretty to look at and it feels just as nice as it looks, I have no worries about it’s reliability and I’m sure it will last at least 10 years before needing any repair. To add to that it can be built in or on the counter. These things are all huge bonuses to me as I plan on keeping it a long time and I will be able to accommodate it into many different living situations. As for it’s performance, I have never seen anything like it. It is super powerful and truly heats so much more evenly then ANYTHING I’ve used to cook. It doesn’t turn vegetables to mush or make meat chewy. A good item to test a microwaves performance is a frozen burrito, if the outside gets super dry, or the outer layers are very hot with either random cold spots or a cold center it’s not a good one. This microwave achieves perfectly even heating throughout, no super hot or cold spots and the tortilla was perfectly cooked without getting dried out. The sensor seems to be very accurate as well but there are certain things it doesn’t do so well with and that’s clearly pointed out in the instructions, it may take a little to learn how to use it and get used to the different way it cooks, keep in mind it’s very powerful. To conclude my review that’s way to long, I consider this microwave an amazing investment and a great value. I absolutely recommend buying it.

We replaced a panasonic from the early 2000 with this one. Overall, a really great microwave. Ours was missing the manual (it came from Amazon warehouse), but it is a pretty easy microwave to figure out. The turn dial is a really neat change -- my husband and I both really like it. The interior is easy to clean. So far, we've tested quite a few sensor cook options, timed cook, milk/coffee, popcorn, and inv. Turbo defrost. They all seems to work really well. We haven't really had an issue with cold spots in reheated food, so that's great. Likewise, no issue with food being partially cooked during defrost. All in all, would recommend. Only complaint is that I wish that we could have gotten this microwave in a different color... the stainless steel (although easy to clean) shows EVERY fingerprint. Oh well, at least it does its job well!

There were so many mixed reviews of this microwave that I waited several months before reviewing it. First, I had a Wolfe microwave which was built into my kitchen when I bought the house (new). The unit cost well over $1,500 to replace and, worst of all, the reason I needed to replace it was a cheap component that went out over and over and over- at a retail cost of $300 to replace & have installed each time... SO... after giving months worth of thought to what to do THE NEXT TIME, I finally decided to buy a "lesser" microwave and use it on the counter. After less than a month we were so crazy about this one that we took out the built-in unit. Now we're having trim made so it will look like it was designed for the house. This is simply the easiest, fastest, best microwave I've ever used, cleaned, or owned. I don't know if perhaps a change was made to the part some people said was "paper", but there's definitely nothing on the reachable area of my unit that is less than solid materials... and I would have noticed... with two teenaged boys and a five-year-old girl, I've cleaned every square millimeter of the inside and probably the outside multiple times. So just in case you're considering this unit, I can tell you it will defrost a pound of ground beef in about three minutes, make 4oz of popcorn in less than 3 minutes- and that's like two of the bags of popcorn. It cooks a corn dog in 40 seconds from frozen and everything else I've needed it for I've actually needed to REDUCE the time I would have used for my designer Wolfe microwave even when it was brand new... The bottom line, in this case, is the price isn't the whole story. This really IS a terrific buy. If you read my other reviews you'll see I'm fairly stingy with these kinds of compliments.

I love how this microwave works and all it's features. I totally recommend this oven. So nice how it cooks or reheats food so fast.
