Five reviews of the Panasonic NN-H965WF, 2.2cuft 1250 Watt Sensor Microwave Oven
1、First off, this microwave is BIG! I wanted a larger microwave because some of the small cheap ones barely fit a TV dinner… this one can fit a large pizza with room to spare! Just be sure you have plenty of counter space!
Aside from it size, the unit is very easy to operate, and having used some of the sensor cook and sensor reheat options, it really does work well. My food was hot throughout – not cold on the inside, but not lava hot either. You can use the sensor cook/reheat and adjust the timing longer or shorter with a few easy buttons. It is a powerful unit at 1250W, and it cooks quickly and evenly.
It’s everything I wanted the microwave to be, and more. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a large size high power microwave.
2、This is our second Panasonic microwave and so far we’ve been happy with them.
The pros:
The inverter turbo defrost does an excellent job of evenly and rapidly defrosting food. Roomy and will fit most anything you want to cook in it. Quick minute reduces button taps to cook something. Sensor reheat is convenient when you don’t want to hassle with how long to cook something.
The cons:
Attention must be paid with heavy food items as improper placement will make the turntable jump it’s track and not turn.
Sensor reheat is quirky and can easily underheat or overheat food items.
Conclusion: If you don’t rely too heavily on sensor reheat this is a good. reliable microwave.
3、I purchased the microwave on 2/18/10 after my Kenmore died. I used it for 9 years without a problem. I decided on the Panasonic because of size and power which was also like the one I had. I read reviews on this product and agree about the noise of opening and closing and the pressure you had to use to open it. I have to whole on to the machine when opening it to keep from pushing it back. I have used it one time to pop popcorn and by the time the corn had popped there was a hole burned in the bottom of the sack. I will try a lower power the next time. Other than these things I am well pleased so far.
4、I bought this microwave to replace on older model
goldstar which I really enjoyed. This microwave is as big as the old one but I really liked the features of my old one compared to this new one. My old one would add time while cooking, this one does not. My old one had a beverage feature where all I had to do was push one button and it would heat my coffee or tea just right. This Panasonic is alright, it has a quick minute button on it, but I don’t understand why I have to push that button, then start, I should just have to push the one button. The sensor reheat function is great, just put the food in uncovered, push the button and it does a fair job of reheating whatever you put in there, but of you put another meal in there after it, it tends to over heat the second meal. We’ve only had this microwave for a little over a month so we still have a way to go before having a real good opinion of this item.
5、We’ve had this Panasonic model for about a month, now.
Our last really good microwave was a Panasonic. It lasted for 12 years. Then we tried other brands, some that broke days after the warranty ran out, and never really worked that well, when when they were working. Expensive models, too.
This one is remarkably low priced, and does everything you want a microwave for, if you are not wanting convection cooking, as well… which we do not need. And it is a roomy 2.2 cubic feet, inside!
We are so pleased with this Panasonic microwave. It is simple to use. Easy to program. Even keeps food warm after it is done!
It even reheats evenly on the sensor reheat mode, which is a first for us.
The defrosting mode works remarkably well, quickly defrosting ground meat without cooking it, which is more than I can say about the other models.
I really hope that it is as durable as the other Panasonics that we have owned.
Five revews of the Panasonic NN-H765WF, 1.6cuft 1250 Watt Sensor Microwave Oven
1、I very much like the inverter technology, it is a dramatic improvement over all of my previous microwaves. It has more bells and whistles than I am accustom to using so this will be a more nuts and bolts review. The additional power of this microwave is also a big advantage, it cooks and worms faster but it also burns faster so be warned. We lost power the day after we received it and had to reprogram the user settings and clock. The popcorn preset did not finish popping the bag and the auto preheat seems to over do it a bit, with that said it dose a very good job when you manually input the cooking parameters you desire. The one main complaint we have is the display, it seems to have a wide horizontal field of view but the vertical field of view is limited so I need to crouch down a bit to see the display when programing. As with everything we have purchased through amazon it arrived promptly, without damage, the price was fare and the transaction painless.
2、After reading the other reviews, I was afraid this oven was going to be way too big for my needs but it’s fine; fits nicely on the same cart as the microwave I replaced (also a Panasonic and lasted over ten years)which was quite a bit smaller. I was tired of the black and woodgrain so ordered the white one and it’s nice. Also, I always choose the super saver free shipping when available; this arrived three days after I ordered. I like the way the door operates and the functions are easy to understand.
I don’t use popcorn in a bag. I make my own and haven’t tried that yet.
Reading the candid customer reviews on Amazon really helps me make a choice in selecting products. The price of this oven went up $11 the day after I bought it! I’m completely satisfied with my purchase.
3、This is quite possibly the best microwave I have ever owned. It heats without overheating and thaws without cooking. The disk actually rotates smoothly without noise.
Why no 5th star? Well it turns out that this microwave causes tremendous interference with WIFI signals. Sitting in the kitchen when the microwave is in use causes my WIFI connection on my laptop to drop off immediately and it won’t come back until the microwave stops.
At first I thought it was my new wireless router so I switched back to my WRT54GL (dd-wrt) and still the connection when I was in the kitchen while the microwave was in use ceased to exist.
So being in the American Spirit I figured give it more power Scotty! So I cranked up the power on the WRT54GL higher and higher until it could not go anymore. Still no luck when the microwave was in use while at the kitchen table.
Next, move away from the microwave while it is in use. The wireless router is in my basement, in perspective the kitchen table through the floor to the basement is about 20ft from the router location. In my living room now and I keep the connection while the microwave is in use but it still causes lots of interference and my connection speed drops down to
My solution was to build a LEAD room for the microwave to sit inside (just kidding). I moved my wireless router to the same floor as the kitchen far away from the microwave and changed the channel on the WRT54GL to 11 and it works perfectly now. The wireless phones I have that operate on 2.4Ghz were not bothered at all.
4、I was hesitant to buy this microwave, because we bought a 1000 watt one ten years ago and that one was too strong, it seemed like it made everything too hot too fast and was difficult not to burn food. Couldn’t make popcorn in that one because it would burn before it barely started popping. This unit, on the other hand, is 1250 watts, so I expected that it would be at least as powerful if not more so, but it seems to take about 30 to 50% longer than our old 1000 watt to heat things to a given temperature–however, this isn’t really a bad thing–the old one was far too strong and burned things, this one does not. I haven’t tried popcorn in this one yet, but I’m sure it’ll do fine.
Apparently the watt rating does not correspond very closely to the actual amount of microwave radiation that reaches the food.
Other than that complaint and the fact that the door is very difficult to see your food through, this seems like a well-constructed, easy-to-use microwave. I am satisfied that this unit is well worth its price.
5、I purchased this microwave when they first hit the stores. This one appealed to me because I have a large family, and we have lots of company. I needed a microwave that I could fit my large casserole dishes into. This will easily hold a 13×9″ baking dish. This oven takes up a lot of space, but that is no problem for me. The power in this machine makes all its small drawbacks worthwhile. The turbo thawing feature is wonderful. Cuts thawing time by half in some instances. Popcorn? 2 minutes flat for most bags. Maybe a few seconds more for the gourmet bags. I love the turn table which keeps me from having to rotate the food for even cooking. The price is right on an appliance that is as good and reliable as this one. I have never regretted this purchase. In fact, I have looked around in stores, trying to see if anyone still sells them because I definitely want to purchase this same model again. I have found it nowhere in town recently, but I was thrilled to see it here on Amazon! If you have the space, and you want a dependable, powerful microwave, this is it!
