Panasonic Stainless Steel Microwave with Inverter, 1250W

El producto bien, pero no viene con alguna garantía por escrito del producto

If you are finally shopping for a replacement for that microwave your family has been using since the 80’s, this model nn966 2.2 cu. ft. is the replacement you are looking for. Its just as huge, just as over-powered, and is just as easy to use. You wont even have to retrain your family how to heat leftovers. If you are upgrading from a much smaller unit, however, you will need to retrain everyone so they don’t keep setting off your smoke alarms. Be warned; this box really cooks. And, remember, they simply do not make them like they used to.
In a big box store, you can compare the various makes and models. I did. Although earlier or perhaps lesser models do appear to have less robust door latches, models nn965 and nn966 both have very different latches, even different from each other. This model has a more refined and very sturdy door latch, and that gives me hope that the widely reported problem has been resolved. This unit (I purchased) latches firmly, and sounds exactly like another unit we have had for several years. By all measures, this latch appears to conform to industry standards.
The differences do not stop there. model nn966 also has slightly raised buttons, where the nn965 and other models have perfectly featureless and flat touch screens. These are small pressure sensitive push pads that depress when you poke them. The great advantage is that blind and visually impaired users can feel the buttons. Feeling the slightly raised button also helps any user know exactly where to press; a feature some touch screen users will well appreciate. The surface of the control panel remains seamless, so cleaning is still easy.
I went with the 2.2 cu. ft. version. It is cavernous inside, but its not consuming any more counter space than our 2.0 unit. The 16-inch glass turntable is shaped like any other but rides well above the bottom of the cooking box, so removing it for cleaning is simple. This may also improve the evenness of heating. It runs at the same loudness of any large unit, and it beeps just like you expect; no surprises.
A close look at an assortment of microwaves shows that they all rest on tiny metal feet about the diameter of a nickle or penny. Although these feet sadly never appear to be adjustable, they are always placed a few inches back from the front edge of the unit and frequently far back from the inner edge of the door. Placing nickles or pennies under these feet still appears to be the universal trick for leveling a microwave. Given the substantial weight of the unit, tipping appears to be no problem and neither does it appear to be that leaving the unit to overhang a deep cupboard shelf is any problem at all. My plans call for the unit to rest on a custom built shelf above a kitchen counter, because I have no desire to sacrifice over 30-inches of counter top work space.
This may well be one of the largest and most powerful microwaves intended for residential use. It can accept any stupidly tall coffee mug, a number of moderately sized serving dishes, or even a 16-inch pizza. Once you learn how to adjust it properly, you can even keep that pizza nicely warmed through an entire football game. Just be sure to remove it from the box. And, yes. This unit will incinerate popcorn in well under 2 minutes, so adjust your programmed settings accordingly. When you get it programmed, everyone can make it perfect every time … until you change your brand of popcorn.

El horno se ve y funciona muy bien. Lo que mi esposa buscaba es el tamaño. Otra ventaja el acero inoxidable.
Lo probamos y funciona bien. Aún no lo necesitamos para reemplazar el que usamos diario.

I’m on my third unit now. The first was returned for a loose door, it would rise and drop 1/16″ on the right side and pull in and out 1/16″ as well. I figured this was a dangerous defect. My Sharpe Carousel is solid as rock and it’s 33-36 yrs. old. The second one had the same defect. Also, it wobbled making me think my counter top wasn’t flat since the feet aren’t adjustable. Now I’m thinking they’re all like this so I used it a bit and found if it sets overnight, the first time you try to open the door the latch doesn’t function. Come to find out, if you lift the door at the bottom right corner with your finger tip and press the latch it pops right open. This is a combination nuisance so I sent it back.

This is my third try, a charme? Idk yet. It has the same loose door only something < 1/16". It's tight enough that the latch works every time and it sits flat on the counter so the second one was also bent. If I try for a forth I don't know the odds of getting a better or worse unit so I'm keeping number three.

It’s a beautiful microwave, silver metallic with black and stainless trim. It’s very big and quite powerful. I’m only using power level 8 so far and that’s faster and hotter than my old Sharpe on full power (of course she’s pretty ‘long in the tooth’). It’s not as intuitive as the Sharpe but that’s what instruction manuals are for and in short time I think I will become accustomed to the Panasonic.

Why there is so much slop in the lower hinge of a 21st. century microwave is beyond me. Maybe Panasonic doesn’t think it will affect the lifespan of the unit. Maybe when the warranty is up the door falls off the next day. I’m going to take the chance it lasts or I can fix it with a YouTube video. Right now as of this writing, I’m happy with it!
