Wish it was better

Lasted only a couple of weeks. A simple Totino pizza roll sparked and it was like 4th of July inside. It also interfered with my Wireless signal from my router every time we used it

Panasonic Microwave 1.6 Oven

Needed to replace my old 20 year old microwave. Cost a lot less than the old one replaced and a lot lighter. Went well with the rest of the appliances in the kitchen as far as color! Fit in the same space as the old one. Overall, a great buy.

Best in price, perfect microwave

Needed to replace my GE microwave, which suddenly gave up the ghost after 13+ yrs. Shopped online...and found what I wanted, at a great price, at Sam's.

Good value for the money.

It appears to be a good microwave. We can review its features better after we use it more. Only drawback we noticed is that when microwave is on, it interrupts or internet streaming on the tv.

Great family size microwave!

Pretty Quiet. Larger diameter carousel. Like the stainless steel and black exterior. Cooks things evenly. Only wish it had a handle on front, so I don't have to constantly wipe fingerprints off the front. Second Panasonic microwave we have owned.

Quick Minute Setting!!

This microwave has the "Quick Minute" setting, which I love, and heats so much better than my last Panasonic microwave, the NN-SA651S. I am really happy with it, and would recommend it!

Panasonic stainless steel microwave

I'm very happy with the microwave oven I recently purchased. I found this very same model for much more elsewhere. It looks nice and performs as expected. I'm completely satisfied with the purchase.

Great Buy, BUT...

Just bought this for my parent's new apartment. Great price, abundance of features, attractive and worked well the handful of times it has been used so far. Just in case we experience any of the problems mentioned in some of the lower-rated reviews I have read, I spent the additional $15 for the 3 year Square Trade warranty. Sam's handles it the first year and Square Trade pays express shipping both ways in years 2-4. BUT you might want to check the Panasonic site for accurate dimensions (or the box itself). According to the Sam's Club site this oven is 21.2" x 19.1" x 11.2" with a 19" turntable. I figured from the start the turntable size was not accurate given the overall dimensions. The actual dimensions are 21.88" x 19.44" x 11.94" with a 15" turntable. Maybe that 1/2" - 3/4" difference could be a factor in your planned location. I give it 5 stars assuming the inaccurate dimensions were a honest mistake (ahem). Will revisit this review if anything regarding the appliance's function changes in the future.

Almost perfect

What I like: the interior light is on whenever the door is open, not just when it is cooking. That feature was almost impossible to find 2 years ago when I purchased my last countertop microwave (my first mw oven lasted probably 10-15 years - the newer ones only last 1 - 3 years so its one of the few extended warranties I buy because I've found it usually pays off). Having the light on when the door opens allows for easier interior cleaning and the ability to check for melted butter or cheese without taking the food out of the oven. I also like that the button you push to open the door requires only a very light push. My oven sits on a slightly rickety cart rather than a countertop. My last microwave required I set my food down so I could steady the oven with one hand while I pushed the open button with the other. Not the case with this oven. Very light push required. Also like that numbers on push buttons are pretty easy to read in dim light because I sometimes warm a corn bag in the middle of the night and don't want to flip on bright lights so I can find the number and start buttons. Other manufacturers tend to "hide" their push buttons to give a cleaner look. That's not worth the trade-off for me. In fact, it would be better if the buttons were lit like the oven's clock, but I've never seen that feature on a countertop microwave. What I don't like: this is minor, but my prior ovens had a 30 second instant-on button. This oven has a minute button that you push, then you have to push the start button. That's only an extra button push so it is minor, but still a loss of convenience. Another reviewer complained about the odd shape. The oven does sit wider, deeper and lower (shorter) than what you typically might see, but I don't see why that would matter. I can't think of a "tall" food that I would cook in a microwave that wouldn't fit in this one. I agree with other reviewers that this oven cooks relatively evenly, and I would have given it 5 stars if it had an instant-on button. But if it lasts 3 years, I may come back and revise my rating to 5 stars.

Stopped Working After 3 Years of Light Use

I purchased the nearly identical SN7445 in 2019, and it stopped working this week, less than three years later. Got the dreaded H98 code, indicating that the inverter is shot. We really don't use the microwave that much, mostly to lightly re-heat left-overs, or melt butter, so it's not like it was abused or anything. I also noticed at least one other reviewer who stated theirs also stopped working after a couple of years, so this likely a design problem and not just a quirk. I definitely cannot recommend. My microwave before this one lasted about 10 years.
