A: The NN-SD945S is a Panasonic Genius microwave, but not a Panasonic Genius "Prestige". This means it has the regular stainless steel enclosure, regular glass window, standard main control knob; and when comparing it to the SD975S a major functional difference is that it lacks the new Cyclonic Wave technology. The NN-SD975S is a Panasonic Genius Prestige version which means it has the upgraded Fingerprint-Free stainless enclosure, half-mirror glass window, main control knob with blue led ring, and other Prestige features; but Panasonic doesn't really articulate clearly what makes a unit a Prestige. This model does include the new Cyclonic Wave technology. Cyclonic Wave tech incorporates a wave generator that rotates inside the wall that "spreads the microwaves around" (my words, not Panasonic's) and this is designed to result in more even cooking of the food with fewer hotspots. The NN-SD987SA is a Panasonic Genius Prestige model that is mostly similar to the NN-SD975S, but lacks the Cyclonic Wave technology. Looks like Panasonic may have superseded this model with the SD975S. I just bought an SD987SA and it includes interior led illumination. Panasonic indicates this in their specs for this model. However, there is nothing in the specs for the SD945 or SD975 models about interior lighting, so don't know for sure what's going on there. I do know that the SD987SA has worked out great for us.
Q: My microwave shows a code H98 why is that?
A: H98 means the component that produces the microwaves is fried. It costs more to have it replaced than to buy a new microwave, so if it isn't under warranty, throw it away and start shopping.

Our old small microwave died and we needed to replace it. We loved the look of this one and the reviews were decent. We measured to make sure it would fit in our built-in spot and it fit. We were happy to find one in stock. We use it for a lot of short heat times so the only downside is that I can't set it for 22 seconds. The knob jumps in 5 second intervals at 15 seconds. If that's the worst I have to deal with, I'm happy. We still need to install the trim but that is aesthetics and does not hinder the usefulness of the microwave.

This Panasonic Microwave replaced my 15 year old Panasonic given to me as a gift by two dear sweet friends. Well the brand stood strong, but the buttons circuitry did not (flat plastics). It was still a great machine until I purchased my second Panasonic a full size. This Panasonic microwave exceeded my expectations, in size, easy dial in functionality. Power button is a snap, power levels up or down with a few taps of the button control, the same customary presets are great with some new ones added. I cannot say enough about this amazing "BIG" microwave. I am in love with my one year old purchase. I highly Recommend this product.

This microwave replaced a built-in one we'd had for 20 years. It looks upscale, is easy to operate and works well. The food is heated evenly in minimal time. There are many features available to use.
