ACTUAL RATING: 3.8 Stars PROS: -Cooks fast -Large enough to cook bigger meals -Much lighter than my previous microwaves -Good price CONS: -LCD numbers can be hard to read at angles -Sometimes, inconsistent heating results (example in the full review below) $.02: I purchased this microwave to replace my 15-year-old SHARP and was in the market for something similar: easy to use, straightforward, no crazy functions, consistent, good heat results, and most importantly, the best bang for the buck! After researching a lot of different devices, I landed on this bad boy since it ticked off much of my boxes, and so far it’s been good with one major flaw. It’s big enough to put in full meals with enough room to spare. It’s not so heavy that lifting it to clean is such a chore. When heating meals, it does what it claims to do and ensures the middle is well heated MOST OF THE TIME. However, there are some instances that it doesn’t heat consistently. For example, I have to heat a rice sock up at least two times a day to put on my dog, so as to bring some blood to the surface for a blood sample for his diabetic glucose checks. I have noticed that every time I put it in for :35 it comes out with different temps. Sometimes, it’s scalding hot, sometimes it’s barely warm. The same goes for bigger meals. Now, we can argue it can be due to the food and the density of it, but the rice sock is the same every time, and every time, I get different results, and that in itself is very annoying. That is a pretty hard flaw in my opinion, as it is the base function of the device, hence docking one full star. Another small gripe is the LCD screen and it is very difficult to see from angles. However, that is being nitpicky, but hey, this is a review right? Overall, with using this device for 6+ months, it’s been a pretty solid device to use, and would recommend anyone to pick it up, just be wary of the inconsistencies of the heating results. TL;DR: After using it for 6+ months, a good microwave with no frills for the price. However, inconsistent heating results and hard to read LCD screen.

Researched hard my choice for a new microwave. Clearly, I made the right choice. Looks, size, abilities all great. When it gets right down to it…heats/cooks in record time without burning, drying out your food. Easy to learn for this senior woman.

I love this microwave. Seriously. I am a person who has high expectations of everything I buy, and this Panasonic 1.6 Cubic Ft 1250 Watt SN77HS Microwave "with Cyclonic Inverter" (whatever, lol) is absolutely fantastic. Not at all too loud; there was a review that said it is loud and they must just be super picky regarding noise. I don't mess too much with the controls, just use full power for appropriate time - and that works great, just fyi. Large capacity, easy to use and clean, and reasonable price. Get this microwave and send me a check to thank me. Ha! ;)

Needed to replace my 21 year old Panasonic microwave. I wanted another Panasonic that was the same size with similar features. My research paid off because this one fits the bill and then some. I couldn’t be happier. Lots of features. Great results. And a great sale price from Best Buy. He’s to another 20 years.

We have long had Panasonic inverter technology microwaves- our last one was with us nearly 10 years-maybe longer. Cooks pretty evenly if things are positioned appropriately. The size is great- I can reheat a casserole dish or a big dinner plate no problem. Quick reheat of waffles without drying from when kids run late or quick hot water for coffee when mom is behind schedule. Buttons easy to read and easy to press. I love how door latch opens with one push of a button- hopes it stays that way! It seems like a small thing but when holding something to feed hungry folks, it makes a big difference if I can do a one-handed open versus putting my dish down to open door then pick stuff up again.
