Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic NN-H965BF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, Black
Customer Review: CAUTION! Poor quality plastic door opening mechanism that breaks
Summary: 2 Stars
Door button is so hard to push that the right side of the oven moves backward when pushed, requiring one to straighten the oven again! Plastic door-opening-lever piece, behind the door button, broke at 2 years. The latch of the door is so hard to push up that it caused this small piece to break and we are having to replace it ourselves. (Cost of just the little piece of plastic is $10.00!!) If we took it into a service center, the cost would be $50.00. Every time you push the door button, you need to hold onto the oven or it slides backward due to the difficulty of the latch opening the door. Poor quality microwave door-opening device! Also, vividly shows every fingerprint on number panel and door, requiring frequent cleaning.Customer Review: Very light for its size (around 30 pounds)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this microwave in a retail store(on 10/8/10), but always come to Amazon to read reviews no matter where I buy things. So I decided to add my review and keep it updated as other helpful folks did.
Pluses:
1. Excellent roomy size
2. Light for its size (30 pounds, very important to me for moving and disposal without asking for help
3. Clear and easy controls
Negatives:
So far none, however I read from other reviews that the inverter (the technology that it allows it to be lighter than other microwaves of this size) tends to burn out after a couple of years. I will keep this review updated if such thing occurs.
Customer Review: Good Value

I purchased this Microwave to replace a similar Panasonic model that served faithfully for about 15 years. This new model is both larger and more powerful than the one it replaced yet was less expensive. For those looking for meat probes and advanced features, this unit is too basic. For those looking for a reliable and easy to use model, look no further. I am delighted with the size, features, and price - an overall great value.
Customer Review: Large-size microwave
Summary: 5 Stars
Great microwave - cooked a very good Thanksgiving turkey. Buttons are very easy to operate, and the door latch pushes easily (some reviewers mentioned that the act of pushing the door latch moved the microwave; I did not find this to be true). The sensor reheat function reheats foods very nicely. We had an older, but very similar model (whose magnetron started to give out after about 8 years which is why we got this one) whose sensor reheat always dried out the food. This one is much better, and the touchpad and raised buttons are much easier to operate. I do hope its magnetron lasts longer than 8 years, though.Customer Review: This Microwave is powerful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Popcorn one touch button is just to strong for a bag of popcorn! I was hoping the extra power would get those last unpopped kernels and it did. burnt popcorn is what you get! there is a less/more button which either adds time or subtracts time. I tried it with the second or most time subtracted and got a lot of unpopped kernels. one less and the corn is slightly scorched. I'm still playing with it and cook most thing at 60% power or 1/2 the time at full power. The unit is very quite and all in all I'm happy with it. Just a little learning curve to go through.
