Panasonic NN-SN667B 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave Oven, Black

Comment: This Microwave and the previous model were the perfect size, but two was enough. Two failed in 3 years in a home with 2 adults and no kids. When it did work, we loved it, but we aren't planning on going through a microwave oven every 18 months.

Comment: First, lets clarify things. Amazon has the dimensions wrong.

They have:

Height: 15-15/16 inches
Length: 20-3/8 inches
Depth: 11-7/8 inches

It should be:

Height: 11-7/8 inches
Length: 20-3/8 inches
Depth: 15-15/16 inches

The LED display is not as horrific as others have made it out to be. I'm over 6 feet in height and the unit is on a cart that is several inches lower than the standard counter top. If I am standing 2 feet back from the unit, I can read it without bending down.

The door latch works perfectly well, although the unit is amazingly light and may tend to slide if you don't have your other hand on it while pushing the latch button. I can understand that folks might prefer a handle, instead, but that would add to the cost ad detract from its appearance.

I had no trouble viewing the contents while cooking and the fact tat the light goes out when the door is open, did not prove to be a problem. I routinely leave the door open for a bit fo the moisture to dissipate, so I consider it a plus.

Food cooked very evenly, as did the defrosting process. The controls were pretty simple to figure out, without having to resort to the manual. The only thing I'd have done differently is put the sticker behind the door that describes the sensor cooking settings, above the cavity, rather than below it. It would make reading it easier.

Since this unit replaced a 24 year old 700 watt Samsung, cooking speed is obviously faster and the unit quieter. By the way, the signal beeps are loud enough for me to hear in a adjoining room with average ambient noise.

I can't comment on the unit's longevity, yet, but for now, I am very happy with this unit.

Comment: The door fogs up internally. This area should be sealed. Amazon sent a replacement but the second one is also designed or manufactured incorrectly. Moisture should not be able to penetrate the door between the front and rear glass. I wrote to Panasonic support but they do not reply. Panasonic quality is getting worse. Our previous unit lasted eight years.

Comment: Pretty powerful for its size, price is good for the feature it has. I did not like the way the design the door release. so far its heats everything pretty evenly hopefully it will last a longtime.

Comment: My very first micro wave was a Panosonic. Lasted for years. It finally died so I replaced it with a new Panosonic
