Panasonic NN H965BF Luxury Full Size 2.2 Cubic Foot 1,250 Watt Microwave Oven, Black

Editorial Review
MODEL- NN-H965BF VENDOR- PANASONIC CONSUMER FEATURES- 2.2 cu ft Microwave- Black Panasonic has succeeded in evolving Turbo Defrost, which allows you to defrost foods even faster than previous Panasonic Auto Defrost. Panasonic Inverter Turbo Defrost technology is an advanced microwave sequencing system using the Inverter low-power delivery feature. It was developed on the basis of what scientists call "Chaos Theory." This design makes it possible to distribute microwave energy with the most appropriate combination of regularity and irregularity. A pulsing delivery of very low microwave power keeps food temperature at a constant level-without overcooking. Our improved keep warm menu now includes five items. So, food like stew, gravy and desserts remain warm in the oven until you are ready to serve. One-Touch Sensor Cooking adjusts power levels and calculates cooking times automatically, making reheating and cooking a variety of foods easier than ever. The Menu Action Screen is like having a gourment chef to assist you in the kitchen. It scrolls step-by-step cooking instructions across the display in a choice of English, Spanish, or French. Our Function Key simplifies the programming of 10 useful, non-cooking functions. Just press the Function Key and the Menu Action Screen will display easy-to-follow steps to complete the desired function. -- SPECIFICATIONs ---------------------------------- OVEN CAPACITY - 2.2 Cu.

Panasonic Invertor Microwave

2008-08-31
Panasonic NN-H965BF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, Black This microwave is 1250 Watts! I love it but it does take time reading the manual and trying to convert to a time period where the food is not "dried up". Once using it several times everything starts to fall into place. Very large cavity just what I wanted. I would recommend it.

Great microwave oven

Very easy to use, It has great automatic features such food warm up. defrost.The large size allows defrosting whole turkeys,chickens briskets or multiple dishes at the same time. It is very powerful and quiet.

I love it.

This is a great microwave. It is faster than most, very easy to keep clean, and easy to operate. Best of all for me, the interior is much larger than most microwaves, making it easier to deal with large quantities.

works better than my last microwave, like the extra space. at night time it would be nice to have a lighted number pad.

Ditto: Not reliable, broke down twice, 2nd time just off warranty

I agree with the previous review. Bought this for my folks who love some of the features but it must be rather cheaply built. Broke down first time within 6 months of use.

Now, it has broken again. It would cost more to fix than to buy a new one, and you only get a month or two warranty on such repairs.

I'd rather spend a couple hundred dollars more on something that would last. Not repeating the same mistake twice.

I'm beginning to think that things like this should come with a mandatory 3 to 5 year warranty (at least) to force manufacturers to build less disposable products -- or at least that it should come with some sort of plan for recycling for when it inevitably breaks.

Great replacement microwave

Unreliable

Have had model NN-H964 less than 3 years. Worked OK for less than a year after purchase (repaired under warranty). Now it stops on its own after exactly 3 seconds (13 seconds using sensor reheat).

It's great.I love it.

My old micro was over 15 years old.
So this one is really new new new.
So it is really nice.

RECOMMENDED BY A PROFESSIONAL COOK

My wife taught microwave cooking when the amama radarange came out. We bought this to replace another panasonic microwave unit. She liked it so much we bought a second unit. These units have a lot of space & power. Had them almost 2 years with no problems at all. She cooks with microwaves every day. Highly recommended.

I read that Panasonic microwave ovens have gone down in quality in recent years but I went ahead and bought one anyway because I needed to change out the old unit and the trim kit would only work with the size of the unit I bought. Well, my reluctance in buying the H965 model was justified. After only 10 months the unit gave out. I know the prices have come down but I would prefer to buy something that can actually last! Don't buy Panasonic unless you're willing to change it out every year.
