Customer Review: The little roaster that could...
Summary: 4 Stars
The Panasonic microwave that my new NN-SN667 replaces had lasted me 23 years, including the original light bulb inside! With that in mind, I gave this brand most of my attention. Nonetheless I devoted considerable time to studying all the major brands, models, types, reading reviews and going to stores to further evaluate what is available today. Although Sharp stood out at times I kept returning to Panasonic, especially after many of the reviews I read. Surprisingly, some of the more upscale Panasonic stainless steel microwaves I examined in stores had doors that were very difficult to open and the units looked bulky when viewed up close. This particular Panasonic microwave, in white metal with a plastic door, is fairly light weight and modestly good looking. The beeps it emits are not overly loud, which improves upon the former model I had. Its basic operations like timed cooking and clock-setting were easy to figure out without the instruction book. I should add that once I did finally read the instruction book I learned about helpful features like 'keep warm' and 'turbo defrost' that came in handy later.
I have a particular space that the microwave must fit in. I pored over dimensions vs. platter size trying to locate a microwave with enough space inside yet somehow be compact on the outside. With that said, I should have reviewed dimensions from multiple sources (such as going to the manufacturer's Web site) because Amazon's stated specs on this unit are slightly out of order. By my own measurements the Panasonic NN-SN667W stands 11-7/8" high, is 20-1/4" wide and 15-1/2" deep if you take into account the 1-inch protrusion on the back of the oven. Trifling difference I know, but I could have moved up to the next larger unit without exceeding my allotted space if Amazon listed the right height.
Many reviewers have commented on how the interior light doesn't come on when the door is opened. Of course the light DOES come on while items are cooking. No light when the door is open is a benefit if you ask me. This unit is so low slung that humidity may condense at the top inside after heating liquids. You may want to get some splatter guard utensils as well. (I like the Progressive International Microwavable Dome Food Cover.) Anyway, leaving the door open for a couple of minutes lets the microwave's interior dry without expending the lamp or electricity while doing so. While the unit is cooking and the interior light is lit the view inside to monitor contents is reasonable. I do not think that the mesh in the door window is overly obstructive as some perceive it to be, it is more likely protective. I should also tell you: 1300 watts of cooking power must be regarded with care. Plus be careful not to run another high wattage appliance off the same outlet at the same time you are cooking with this microwave. You may trip a breaker. This microwave's power cord is only two feet long. If you need more cord length plan on buying a proper power strip. I recommend a Belkin 6-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Rotating Plug and 8' Cord because the cord is strong and the plug is flat, allowing it to fit into narrow places behind appliances.
A mug of cold water will become heated to near boiling in 1 minute, 30 seconds. It can handily defrost frozen meat although I tend to stop the process in about 1/3 of the time the oven calculates (based on weight that you enter into the defrost mode set up). Perhaps someday I'll brave microwaving frozen meat for the full duration of calculated defrost and see whether I regret it or not. In the mean time I'll initiate thawing with this microwave and finish defrost in water.
I share in the opinion that the numeric readout is rough to interpret if seen up close from above. Either stand back a few feet or bend forward slightly to look at it head on. Then the numerals won't look like all 8s. That's something that Panasonic could improve upon to make this an even better appliance, which I currently rate as 4-1/2 stars.
