    Very Impressed With Microwave

    We were looking for a replacement microwave for our Sharp Microwave that was started smoking after 14 years. After reading the features and reviews on the Panasonic Inverter Microwave Oven Model NN-SN946B it matched the same size we previously had (2.2 cu feet) as a standalone on the counter. It also had the rotating dish and easy to use buttons. We love that the microwave is much more quiet than our old Sharp microwave, and it definitely cooked more evenly. The Panasonic is a bit more powerful (1250 Watt) than our previous one (1200 Watt), so it took a bit of adjustment as to how long to zap food, but it was easy to use. We didn't give it 5 stars since we're still new to the microwave and wanted to see how it performed over time. Our first impressions are very positive, and we also like Best Buys Geek Squad protection that we purchased. They've been very helpful in the past, and we expect that to still hold true.

    We had our previous Panasonic microwave for almost 14yrs. When we went to look for a new one, we wanted one similar to the one we had. We went to Best Buy and found this new one it was perfect. Almost identical to our previous one. The same features, we needed a large size and we got it at a great price. There are a few added features that are nice too.

    Size fit the opening I needed to fill. More powerful than the micro/convection oven I replaced, so I'm still learning to adjust. Love the large and easy to clean interior. Wish the bell signalling it is done would turn off when the door is opened but it will continue its 5 dings.

    This is our third Panasonic 2.2 cu ft microwave oven. We liked all the features of the first 2, but they didn't last more than 3 years. We probably use our microwave more than most people, but I think the first 2 should have lasted longer. The door latch on this new one is greatly improved over the other ones. They shut very hard whereas this one shuts like I think it should. I like the control panel better also. The 2.2 cu ft size is great for large dishes. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't know if it will last longer than my previous 2. I would like to think it would last at least 5 years. Due to my previous experience, I purchased a 4 year extended warranty with this one. I hope I don't need it.

    We replaced our old microwave that died the day after we ordered this one. At 1250W it is more powerful than the old 1000W unit so it cooks faster. We like the looks and it works well. The feet are slightly further apart compared to our old unit so it sits a the very edge of the shelf. There are no clips to secure it to the wall to prevent it from getting pulled off. I took off 1 star because there should be some way to prevent someone, ie: kids, from pulling the microwave onto themselves.

    Have had a couple months now and haven't had any problems. I like the 30 second button. Most have a minute button. If you need a minute you can hit it twice. Also has a sensor reheat button that works pretty well, depending on what you are reheating. Same watts as my previous microwave but doesn't seem to heat as fast. Still roomy and works great. No complaints.

    I needed a microwave that was big enough to handle a full size Pyrex casserole dish and most weren't wide enough especially with a carousel. The Panasonic model fit the bill and then some. It's big enough to hold at least three medium pizza boxes and a bag of fries. Definitely necessary with kids who don't always eat at the same time due to sports etc.

    Decided to replace my original 30 year old microwave with a newer and more powerful one (was 800 watts). Like this microwave - it is large, has a rotating plate and is easy to clean. The one thing I really miss though is the sturdiness of my old microwave. When you closed the door of my old microwave it seemed better built and much more solid.

    I love this microwave. The sensor reheat option is my favorite option and works well. There is also plenty of power and the large size is great. The only problem I have is the door mechanism starts to have problems after 3 or 4 years. Buy the five year geek squad and problem solved.

    The microwave operates as intended, is quick to heat things up and is very quiet. I would have given it 5 stars but the black finish on the exterior is not very durable. Looks cloudy out of the box and is easily scratched with just a paper towel.

    I am loving my new microwave so far. The defrost is great. I am a little concerned about durability. Twice in about the month I have had it, I have had trouble getting it to start. So is the key pad going to fail? I'm glad that I read the reviews and purchased the warranty.

    I especially like the sensor defrost . No more grey edges on the ground beef as it defrosts. I do not like that the door only opens to 90 degrees and it always closes on my elbow when taking something out. I would like it if I could find out what the power setting is while it is cooking. Over all it does a nice job.

    Good Product w/1 Limitation

    1. I had the previous Panasonic Genius Microwave for 8 years. The only problem was the button handle broke and the part would have cost a lot, so we decided to buy a new microwave. I like everything about it except the manufacturer seemed to ratchet down the cooking ability because things that I cooked w/the old micro cooked faster than this one. I was surprised to find out that this new Micro only had only 12.3 Amps for a 1250 watts; Other new Micros with same 1250 watts used stronger Amps. (I know my electricity is strong because I had a dedicated Electrical Plug put in the Kitchen then directly to the Electric Panel). Perhaps the 12.3 Amp is why it takes longer to cook than older Micro. 2. The lady that sold the Micro was very nice and informed on her products.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
