Panasonic NN-H765BF Full-Size 1.6-Cubic-Feet 1250-Watt Microwave Oven, Black

Comment: I bought this microwave to replace an old (10 years +) one. Wow, what a difference. It has an interior large enough to hold most anything. Full size glass turntable is a plus. Easy to clean. Cooks much faster than my old one. And the preset times work great. Hopefully it lasts without any problems. Right now I love it. I will try to remember to write another review in about 6 months.

Comment: In March 1985, I purchased a 1.4 cu/ft Panasonic microwave oven, the specific statistics for which I do not recall off-hand. I don't see that particular size advertised amy more. It has the carousel, but it doesn't have all the other bells and whistles that are advertised now, though it has enough of its own. In particular, it does not have a popcorn setting, which I think is the reason that the only thing that does not come out well is popcorn. It just does not work well for that - never has. BUT, it has been nothing but an OUTSTANDING performer all these years for everything else. AND, we have never had to have it repaired. Like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going, and going, and..... . I am looking at a new unit now ONLY BECAUSE I don't know if the one we have is performing up to par, or whether it is still perfectly safe after all these years of usage. When I replace it, it will be with another Panasonic of about the same size. I am debating only whether to get the 1 1/5 cu/ft model, or the 1.6.

The reason I am writing this review is in case some of you might be in doubt as to which microwave to purchase. If our experience means anything to you doubters, then your decision should be an easy one now. OVER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF PERFECT SERVICE IS HARD TO BEAT!

Comment: This microwave is so much more than I expected. It is a joy to use.

Comment: Great so far. I've been using this microwave for just over a week now. I've run it thru various cooking modes and defrost. I like what I've seen so far.

This unit is very powerful. Cooking time is cut in about half from the unit that this has replaced. It does very well at getting heat to the middle of bowls and high containers, instead of the just the outsides like my old model.

Comment: Great microwave, large interior without taking up too much counter space. Heats at least twice as fast as my old one. My only complaint is you cannot use the timer and cook something at the same time. I used to use the timer to keep track of what I have on the stove or in the oven, while I heated up the veggies (or whatever) in the microwave. I bought a small kitchen timer, so problem solved. But it was a bit inconvenient, since I've had this feature on my previous 2 microwaves.
