    I really like the size of this unit, but I don't really like the buttons or knob. It works in a satisfactory manner.

    The Panasonic Microwave was easy to set up and use. The inside is large, which is a real plus for putting in casseroles.

    Looks great, not too noisy

    It is hard to see inside the microwave when it is running to make sure that a gravy is not boiling over for example. The reason is there is quite a lot of reflection that shows up in the window. The other feature that is less desirable is the knob that is used to select the time to cook when not using the 1 minute button or the popcorn settings. It seems like it takes a little longer to select the time to cook compared to a keypad. The defrost feature is excellent, variable constant output power instead of full power on for a period then off etc.

    Clean look for a stainless steel microwave. A bit loud but the only downside is the timer. Contains a dial and no number pad. A little on the loud side.

    I’ve owned this microwave for 8 years before I repurchased it from Best Buy. I’m hoping this new purchase last as long as I’ve owned my first…although the only problem it’s louder than the first microwave and that’s a disappointment, but I tolerate with the sound!

    My Third One

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have owned three Panasonic model NN-SD987SA microwaves because I have a large family. I like the 1250 watts power output, the auto cook, and auto reheat settings. The oven space of 2.2 inches is large enough for most cooking needs. The only negative, it has a four year life span. The magnetron tube and inverter power supply tend to fail after 4-5 years of moderate everyday use. I recommend the Geek Squad 4 year extended warranty. I got my last one free because it died after 3 years 11 months.
