A:AnswerSome reviews I read before purchasing this microwave said it was noisy. I do not find it any more noisy than any other counter top microwave I've had.
A:AnswerThe light does not come on when I open the door. I suppose it's more important to light up while cooking, in order to see if something's going to boil over.
A:AnswerThis microwave's High power level restricts you to a limit of 30 minutes. However, if you use a different power level setting you can use the microwave up to 99 minutes.
A:AnswerWe had a number of Panasonics over the years and they were horrible. At least three of them were a problem out of the box and the other 3 or 4 died within a year. The immediate problems were 2 latch problems and one took about twice as long as it should to heat things up. They were in our breakroom at work and we had the extended warranty. When one would break we kept returning it and getting another Panasonic. It was borderline ridiculous.
A:AnswerMaybe just a little dim. My old microwave had super bright numbers though. I didn't need a night light in the kitchen. I don't find this to be a problem though. Maybe it's different than what you are used to or expected.
A:AnswerJust bought NN-SN661. The light is OFF when the door is open. The light is ON when microwave is cooking. Panasonic says it's an energy saving feature.
