Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic NN-H965BF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, BlackCustomer Review: A Little Too Much Power Summary: 3 Stars
We bought our first Panasonic Microwave back in the early '80's. The first two both lasted about 15 years each, which was well beyond expectations for either. We bought this third unit based on the experience of the other two, plus it was a direct swap out in size for its built in cabinet. Would give it five stars in most areas, but with the power up to 1250 watts now, it has a tendency to over cook or burn stuff if not careful with the power and time settings. We are removing two stars because you must generally reduce the power setting by about 10% when cooking prepared frozen items per directions on packages (most based on 1100 watt units), or calculate a reduced cooking time to prevent overcooking and burned items. The sensor cooking doesn't seem to be very sensitive, and popcorn will burn if using the auto sensor. The older units had a push/pull latch, while the newer one uses a button release mechanism. Seems like the unit isn't as well thought out as the older units. Overall, a bit disappointed with the "improvements". However, the reliability has been good, so far. The price per features seems to be a good value, but there are other brands with comparable features we will consider if this unit starts giving problems.
Description of Panasonic NN-H965BF Luxury Full-Size 2.2-Cubic-Foot 1,250-Watt Microwave Oven, BlackPanasonic NN-H965BF Luxury full-size 2.2 cu.ft. 1250 Watt , Easy-to-use Button Control, Multi-Lingual Menu Action Screen, One-Touch Sensor Cooking (19 Categories), One-Touch Sensor Reheat, Inverter Turbo Defrost, Keep Warm , Popcorn Key, Quick Minute, More/Less Control (Black). The microwave comes with a glass platter that always moves inside the cavity during operations. It is removable. The cavity dimensions are: 18 7/16" W x 18 1/2" D x 10 15/16" H " This gigantic microwave oven services the family that is constantly eating on the run but has gourmet tastes that go beyond packaged frozen dinners. It is true that the oven takes up a great deal of counter space (measurements are 23-7/8 by 14 by 19-7/16 inches) but much of that space can be attributed to the large interior capacity of 2.2 cubic feet, which can fit an entire meal. The oven operates on a powerful 1,250 watts for quicker cooking and defrosting and has a sleek black exterior that looks well in most kitchens. Most home chefs will find new and innovative features on this microwave that blow away the offerings on their previous models. To figure out the best way to cook a particular food, cooks can access step-by-step instructions on the Menu Action screen. The multi-lingual screen displays information in English, Spanish, or French on how to perform a function. Panasonic's One-Touch Sensor Cooking feature takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking by calculating cooking and reheating times automatically based on the amount of steam released. As part of Panasonic's Inverter Technology, the oven also incorporates a linear power control for even heat distribution so frozen macaroni and cheese doesn't get hot around the perimeter and remain cold in the center during cooking and frozen chicken breasts don't cook around the edges during defrosting. Another major innovation in microwave technology is a warming and simmering feature that delivers low-temperature heat to keep food such as pies, casseroles, or gravy warm without overcooking them. For cooks who are looking for a shortcut but don't want to sacrifice gourmet cooking, this microwave is an excellent option. This luxury microwave oven is covered by Panasonic under a one-year limited warranty while the Magnetron tube has an extended warranty of up to five years. --Cristina Vaamonde
